We must use our power.   John, We’re barely two months in, but already, Donald Trump is setting the stage for unprecedented levels of corruption within our government. Here are five alarming actions he’s taken from the resolute desk that we’re working to combat — just the facts: 1) He…

That’s Cory’s job

Cory is doing all this important work to deliver for New Jersey and defend our democracy.   John, Cory has been B-U-S-Y standing up to Donald Trump’s lawlessness. And there’s been a lot of it recently — down to Trump calling himself a king last week. While Trump and Elon Musk try to tu…

Democrats are working for you.

Senate Republicans continue to show that their top priority is to give handouts to their billionaire donors — and stick you with the tab.   John, Republicans in Congress have made it clear that they’re working for their billionaire donors like Elon Musk— not hardworking Americans like…

Trump is trying to make us feel helpless.

We’re not going to sit on the sidelines.   John, Donald Trump is making a deliberate attempt to overwhelm the system — and to overwhelm you. He’s trying to cause so much chaos that we won’t be able to keep up and fight back. But we can. And we will. Here’s what’s happening: 1️⃣ Trump…

It’s never too early

Cory doesn’t take a dime from corporate lobbyists, Big Pharma, or fossil fuel executives because he doesn’t represent them, John.   We have an important favor to ask you, John: Will you start a small monthly recurring donation to sustain Cory’s campaign and support his efforts to flip…

Stronger and stronger

  Do you want to know how a lobster grows, John? It begins to feel pressure, stress, and discomfort as it presses against its hard shell. It then goes under a rock and sheds its shell, leaving it vulnerable to predators as a new shell hardens. It is pressure and stress and discomfort …

My one guiding principle

There's no such thing as too much love, John.   John, Throughout my career in politics, I’ve had one guiding principle: Love. Love is the reason why, as a first-time candidate running for Newark City Council, I went on a hunger strike to draw attention to the desperation facing the mos…

That’s exactly what I’m going to do.   John, Senate Democrats couldn’t be more different. We come from different states and backgrounds, and we even have some differences of opinion — but we’re fiercely united on this: We’re ready to fight for working Americans. We’re going to fight to…

The GOP blocked the Child Tax Credit last year. I’m calling on them to take up a vote on the credit right away.

Babies need diapers. Growing children need bigger clothes. No child should go hungry. And a child should not be the most likely person in America to face eviction.   John, child poverty is a moral obscenity. But last year Senate Republicans voted down a broadly supported measure that w…

Corporate power and decades of bad government policies have evaporated family farms and since 1981, over 500,000 small and family farming operations have been gobbled up by corporate giants.   We’ve got to talk about our food chain, John. We know our food doesn’t just magically appear …
