Report: Cuellar funneled campaign money to his own company

There’s a cloud of corruption investigations hanging over Cuellar, BUT he has a huge $2 million war chest and a chance to still win his race against Justice Democrat Jessica Cisneros. John, Remember this? Last month, FBI agents raided Rep. Henry Cuellar’s house and campaign office, collecti…

Pelosi backed Cuellar in 2020

Democratic leadership should NOT be supporting the most conservative, anti-choice Democrat in the House. John, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer is backing corporate-backed, anti-choice Democrat Henry Cuellar in his primary against Justice Democrat Jessica Cisneros. This shows just how afra…

Do you really want to talk about Squad politics?

When Democrats lose, they blame progressives in their quest for power with no questions asked. John, Corporate Democrats are blaming “Squad politics” for the Democratic Party’s lower midterm poll numbers. But if the establishment followed Squad politics, the Democratic Party would actually…

Fighting for the people, not the military-industrial complex

Defense companies gave big to Congressional Democrats and Biden in 2020 and now these corporations are counting on corporate Democrats to champion their interests. John, Reuters reports that President Biden will ask Congress for a defense budget exceeding $770 billion for the next fiscal y…

Bernie has good advice for Biden

It’s not just the right thing to do, it’s the politically smart thing to do. It’s simple, John. We’re with Bernie: With one swipe of the pen, President Biden could and SHOULD cancel every penny of student loan debt. If you agree with Bernie, Justice Democrats, and AOC, chip in $3 to help us …

TEAM Blue PAC is targeting Justice Democrats candidates

John, Last summer, the 4th most powerful Democrat in the House, Hakeem Jeffries, joined Rep. Josh Gottheimer in creating ‘Team Blue PAC’ supposedly to stop Democrats from “fighting each other instead of fighting the other team.” But what Team Blue PAC is actually doing is sending tens of …

Corporate Money Caucus

ICYMI: AOC was right about Manchin

The Democratic Party’s problem

Now we’re all suffering the consequences. Democrats have a real problem, John. A razor-thin majority in the Senate has given corporate Democrats Joe Manchin and Krysten Sinema an outsized role in blocking progress. But it didn’t have to be like this. During the 2020 elections, the Democrati…
