We worked so hard to win Democratic majorities. We cannot lose them now.

John, I just read this piece from The Hill, and I think you should see it: “Without drastic changes, Democrats are on track to lose big in 2022” John, I just read this piece from The Hill, and I think you should see it: “Without drastic changes, Democrats are on track to lose big in…

My friend, Cheri Bustos

Holding the House

A sad day for voting rights

Reflections on Juneteenth

The New Jim Crow

  John, First, they put us in chains. We fought our way to freedom. Then, they terrorized us with lynch mobs. We kept working for progress. Then came the laws. The poll tests. The poll taxes. Segregated bathrooms, water fountains, transportation and schools. We protested and won. …
