Hypocrite

I call BS.   john, In recent weeks, Donald Trump has tried to walk back his stances on abortion. After the Arizona Supreme Court upheld the enforcement of a law from 1864, Trump tried to distance himself from the radical decision. He keeps squawking the talking point that abortion rig…

Wisconsin’s Senate race is TIED

  Hi john, Tammy Baldwin here with an important update: A brand new poll shows that my Senate race in Wisconsin is TIED 50-50. My megamillionaire Republican opponent, Eric Hovde, is gaining ground in Wisconsin — and fast. First, he plastered Wisconsin’s airwaves with more than $4 mill…

Today, I’m asking for $3

  Hi john, I’m reaching out with a request: Can you make a $3 contribution to support my campaign? (Yes, you read that right!) I know $3 may not sound like much — but there is power in every grassroots contribution, no matter how small. I’ve seen the power of this grassroots team at w…

“It’s always bad to be indicted”

  john, Trump’s legal team is trying to defend the former president during his trial in New York this week, twisting their arguments in knots to minimize his crimes and attempts to dismantle our democracy. Meanwhile, Trump’s MAGA allies in Congress and on the campaign trail are still …

Help Tina flip the House

Republicans are putting women’s rights in a time machine back to the 1800s

  john, Republicans are trying to take women’s reproductive rights and put them in a time machine, back to the 1800s. And I’m not exaggerating — let me explain: Earlier this month, the Arizona Supreme Court ruled that a law from 1864 banning abortion can be enforced. For some perspect…

Ultra-wealthy GOP candidates are trying to flip the Senate
