What do Ted Lasso and Cory both have in common?

  Friend, “Taking on a challenge is a lot like riding a horse, isn’t it? If you’re comfortable while you’re doing it, you’re probably doing it wrong.” — Ted Lasso Do you know what Cory and TV character Ted Lasso both have in common? A sense of relentless optimism. While working in the…

Protecting our Democratic Senate majority

  Friend, Over the past eight months, we’ve witnessed how critically important our Democratic majorities are in the House and the Senate, time and time again. With Democrats in control of Congress, we’ve reversed destructive policies passed during the Trump Administration and put the …

Conservative Media is trying to stop Baby Bonds

  Friend, The Trump tax cut’s benefit to billionaires, big banks, and large corporations has never been more apparent. While millions of Americans needlessly suffered through layoffs, loss of health insurance, and cut off unemployment benefits in the past year and a half, billionaires…

Arizona is heating up

  Friend, In a moment I’m going to ask you to split a contribution between my people-powered campaign and my good friend and Senate colleague, Cory Booker. But first, I hope you’ll give me a minute to explain why this is so important. Every contribution to our campaign helps us lay t…

Re: expanded Child Tax Credit

  Friend, Earlier this month, 36 million families received the second monthly payment of the American Rescue Plan’s expanded Child Tax Credit. Food insecurity dropped to the lowest levels since the start of the pandemic for families with children. One of the most transformative polici…

McConnell’s handpicked candidate

  Friend, I’m Catherine Cortez Masto, and I proudly represent Nevada in the U.S. Senate. Last election cycle, I worked tirelessly as the Chair of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, Senate Democrats’ campaign arm, to defeat Mitch McConnell and help flip the Senate. Now, McCo…

Fwd: A disgraceful history

  Friend — there’s another story in the Washington Post about Trump-appointed Postmaster General Louis DeJoy’s corruption: “DeJoy bought up to $305,000 in bonds from USPS board chair’s investment firm Board of Governors Chairman Ron Bloom, a managing partner at the firm, has backed De…

A disgraceful history

  Friend, It’s disappointing, but it’s hardly shocking: The Washington Post just reported that the U.S. Postal Service signed a $120 million, five-year contract with XPO Logistics, the former company of Donald Trump’s hand-picked Postmaster General, Louis DeJoy. DeJoy claims he wasn’t…

I’m asking

  Friend, In case you haven’t been watching the news, it was pretty busy in Washington this week. After passing the Senate’s bipartisan infrastructure bill, we spent all night in a “vote-a-rama” of amendments before finally approving the framework of a $3.5 trillion budget reconciliat…

What Mitch McConnell isn’t counting on

  Friend, Senate Republicans are raising boatloads of money ahead of the midterms. That’s no surprise. With more than $58 million raised just this year, they’re already running attack ads against Cory’s Senate colleagues. And if they manage to pick up just one more seat, Mitch McConne…

A Friday the 13th scare

It’s no surprise The Boston Globe called me the “most vulnerable Senate Democrat up for reelection.”   Hi friend, It’s Friday the 13th, and in New Hampshire, we’ve got a bit of scary news playing out in our effort to keep the Senate majority. My good friend Cory Booker let me know tha…

Donald Trump’s $100 million campaign warchest

Yesterday was a big step -- but our work is far from over

  Friend, The Senate just took an enormous step toward revitalizing the American economy — the $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure package we just passed is the most extensive investment in our infrastructure our country has seen in decades. This landmark bill will help create and…

I just reintroduced the Environmental Justice Act

  Friend, In Uniontown, Alabama, a landfill was licensed to take garbage from more than half of the country — despite the overwhelmingly Black local community’s opposition. In Lowndes County, just an hour’s drive east, the sewage system is virtually nonexistent and raw sewage collects…

Honor today’s anniversary of the 1965 Voting Rights Act by adding your name to demand passage of the John Lewis Voting Rights Act

Democratic legislators across the country are sounding the alarm.   Friend, 56 years ago today, the 1965 Voting Rights Act went into effect. By finally enforcing the voting rights guaranteed by the 14th and 15th Amendments, this bill’s passage was the culmination of a democratic strugg…

We’re making progress

  Friend, The GOP is passing voter suppression laws that directly target communities of color. The courts are stacked with Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell’s hand-picked judges. And most insidiously, a shocking amount of Republican lawmakers still stand by Trump and his Big Lie that t…

The American people want federal marijuana legalization - now

$28 million?!

Environmental racism has decimated our communities

Mitch McConnell tells the truth

Trump’s attack won’t be his last
