The media needs to say it — climate change is making natural disasters worse

We may not have won a climate debate yet, but thanks to the powerful voices of organizations like the Sunrise Movement and Justice Democrats, CNN agreed to host a seven hour long Climate Town Hall — the first of its kind. John — Just last week, the DNC killed the climate debate — officially …

DCCC points system heavily incentivizes pandering to rich donors, awards no points to registering voters

We all knew that the DCCC was doing everything it could to protect the old Democratic Party — one that bowed to rich donors, that pandered to massive corporations, and that protected out-of-touch incumbents. But we didn’t realize that that it had evolved into an actual points system: John — W…

Progressive ideals under fire

We support candidates who want to end Trump’s regime of deportation because they’ve had family members deported, or have had to work within the system to try and save people themselves. We fight for candidates who support Medicare for All because some of our leaders have gone for years without ac…

Calling every person you know and asking for $1,000

When a candidate goes to the DCCC and says that they want to run for office, the DCCC replies, “Well, how much money can you raise?” They tell you to go through your phone contacts, to talk to your family members, to call up your college roommate, and do whatever you can to raise a few hundred th…

DCCC blacklist policy spreads

Let’s be clear: the DSCC’s job is to elect Democrats to the United States Senate. It’s not their job to choose which Democrats voters should support, or to show preference for moderates over progressives. John — When the DCCC officially introduced their blacklist, there was an incredible out…

Us versus them

As we speak, Justice Democrats is working with powerful progressive candidates across the country to usher in the change Americans deserve. Not everyone is happy about that — powerful establishment forces are already mobilizing to try and stop us before we ever get off the ground. John — As w…

Enabling GOP sabotage

In a blatant attempt to politicize the board responsible for enforcing fair elections, Trump wouldn’t nominate a Democrat and instead chose to stall the entire process. That decision will leave the FEC toothless ahead of possibly the most contentious Presidential and Congressional elections of ou…

Cuellar’s long history with Koch money

Why does the Libertarian Koch Industries love Henry Cuellar and his Blue Dog Democrat allies so much? Easy answer: oil. Henry Cuellar has been one of the strongest allies of the oil industry, taking hundreds of thousands of dollars from the industry. John — Before the rise of the Tea Party, …

Our movement is a ‘headache’ for Nancy Pelosi.

Right now the top of the Democratic Party is still disproportionately wealthier, whiter, and more male than the base of our party. But together we’re going to change that and elect a new generation of progressive leaders who reflect our party and country. John — They’re talking about us. We’…

Biden’s team tries to stop climate debate.

Thanks to the incredible efforts of organizations like the Sunrise Movement, a DNC committee passed a resolution that would “encourage candidates to participate in multi-candidate issue-specific forums with the candidates appearing on the same stage, engaging one another in discussion.” John —…

The Last NRA Democrat

Without these universal background checks, some maniac will be able to purchase a firearm. That same person will be enabled to shoot someone, or maybe more than just someone. People will die, we will grieve, the NRA will flex it’s dark money muscle, and all we’ll have will be those thoughts and p…

Everyone knows that we’re just getting started. Even now, we’re searching the nation for new, dynamic, progressive leaders to help build a democracy that works for everyone — not just a powerful few. But in order to keep up this pace, we need your help. John — We’ve announced only 8 challeng…

Jamaal Bowman pushes Engel to the left

Trump’s newest impeachable offense

Because of Trump’s actions, the only two Muslim Americans in Congress will not be able to visit Israel. Rashida Tlaib will not be able to visit her own grandmother who lives in the occupied West Bank. This bigoted, short-sighted and cruel action calls into question our government’s blank check to…

Ultra-conservative group uses oil money to boost Third way

There’s a reason why Third Way worked so hard to hide who funded their study for over a decade — because they know that if their funding was public knowledge, voters would stop listening to their corporate-backed talking points. John — We’re surprised, but not shocked. The Koch Brothers were…

Centrists and mediocre moderates strike back

Moderate and corporate Democrats who refuse to support those policies, and instead are taking tens of thousands of dollars from defense contractors, private prisons, big Pharma, and Amazon are not the leaders who can deliver that victory. John — The incredible victories of AOC, Ayanna, Ilhan…

DCCC donations with strings attached

Losing support from small dollar donors isn’t just a red flag that your organization isn’t fighting for working-class folks — it also means your funding has a lot more strings attached. It means you create internal organizational policies to stop the AOCs and Ayanna Pressleys of the world from en…

We got a shout out in the NYT!

Our next three Justice Democrats

Invasion rhetoric directly referenced in shooter manifesto

For months, Fox News has been an accomplice to Trump’s xenophobia — from stoking fear about an incoming “migrant caravan” to giving him cover for the abuses of ICE and CBP. They broadcast white nationalist talking points all day and night. "If you use the term 'this is an invasion,' that's not…

The only Democrat who received $ from NRA in 2016

At every turn, NRA lobbying and their bought-and-paid-for politicians have stopped common-sense gun policies to protect corporate profits. And as the only Democrat who took NRA money in 2016, people like DCCC-backed Henry Cuellar have happily done their bidding. John — Over the weekend, our …

Ouch

According to a new YouGov poll, Trump is less popular nationally than every single member of the Squad. And if you limit the sample to just independent voters, Trump still loses by over 6 points to each progressive champion. John — Ouch. For weeks, Trump has used the bully pulpit to levy r…

“Crime infested”

No human being would want to live there. It’s not just that Trump is disproportionately targeting people of color in Congress for his attacks — it’s the language that he uses. There’s a consistent pattern of referring to black and brown communities as “infestations.” John — Prior to Trump’s …

Trump — ”I could win the war in Afghanistan in 10 days, I just don’t want to kill 10 million people”

Talking about the deaths of 10 million people as an offhand comment in a press conference is genuinely shocking — almost as shocking as the idea that our military has walked Trump through a plan that includes such catastrophic destruction as if it’s something we’d really consider. John — Eve…
