Sonia Sotomayor’s warning

  Earlier this year, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor issued a warning about the dangers of misinformation:  FLIP THE SENATE And now, with the GOP lying about the callous budget they are trying to pass — it’s crucial that we heed her warning. Republicans want the American…

The GOP thought they could get away with this

  Less than two weeks ago, House Republicans attempted to use the cover of night to pass Trump’s extreme budget bill. If the GOP Senate passes this budget bill, it would be catastrophic for Americans. Cuts to Medicaid and SNAP could lead to millions of people losing their health care …

$2 to Flip the Senate

  John, We’ll keep this quick — because time’s running out before our end-of-month deadline, and we need to be direct about what’s at stake. Democrats must defeat these vulnerable Republicans to Flip the Senate in 2026: Susan Collins (ME) and Thom Tillis (NC) So we’re asking: Will y…

You can’t trust Elon Musk

  John, Elon Musk recently claimed he’s stepping back from spending money to elect MAGA Republicans. Sure. Just like he said he wouldn’t help elect Trump in 2024 — then turned around and dumped hundreds of millions into the election. We can’t afford to sit around and wait to see if Mu…

The fight for the Senate is already happening

  John — The fight for the Senate isn’t in some distant future. It’s already happening. Right now, extremist Republicans are laser-focused on 2026, desperate to maintain control of the Senate majority in the midterms. If they succeed, we’re looking at more attacks on reproductive righ…

Republicans are total sellouts to Trump’s agenda

  This shouldn’t shock us anymore, John, but nearly every single Republican Senator has remained silent after Trump said that he "doesn't know" whether or not he must uphold the Constitution. It’s a betrayal to our democracy and the rule of law. While Republicans are kowtowing to Trum…

Attacking an American hero is a new low
