Santos says he’ll resign if 142 people ask...

Exciting news, John!   While getting on an elevator this morning, George Santos (or whatever his real name is) told Congressional reporters, “If 142 people ask for me to resign, I’ll resign.”     We bet we can find 142 people willing to tell Santos to take his fraudulent sel…

the only thing from George Santos we can believe

There’s a lot George Santos is dishonest about, John.   He’s dishonest about his work experience, his education, his family history, and his heritage. He lied to voters, his campaign made fundraising calls to donors pretending to be Kevin McCarthy’s chief of staff in order to get …

Thank you Nancy, Steny, and Jim

John:   After a long and pointless battle among Republicans over electing a Speaker, the 118th Congress has now begun in the House. Among the big changes coming in this Congress: House Democrats will have new leaders advancing the fight for the American people.   As Speaker Na…

They’re taking us back to the 1850s

John:   This is a hot mess!   When Democrats won a narrow majority in the 2020 general election, we immediately unified under the brilliant leadership of Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and without missing a beat we certified the election despite being interrupted by the Trump inspired …

new year, new look, same old Hank

Well, John —   It’s a new year, so I’m going for a new look with a new logo. But don’t worry, I’ll still be using my emails to get you the latest information about our progress in Congress and on the ground in Georgia’s 4th District.   As we begin anew, I’m asking you to help …

Closing out 2022

John,   I want to thank you for an incredible 2022.   We made big moves this year, from taming the red wave, to reelecting Rev. Warnock to the U.S. Senate. And it’s because of the support of folks like you.   As we close the book on 2022, I’m asking for your help in preparing for 2023 and…

the red puddle has one scary side effect

  John,   Republicans may have taken the majority in the House this past election, but they were embarrassed by the results.   After predicting a red wave that would flip more than 40 House seats and several Senate seats, Republicans brought about more of a red puddle. They o…

a few degrees on a compass

  Happy holidays, John!   Look, we know we just got through an incredibly consequential midterm, but we’re already looking to the future. It may be tempting to wait to start preparing for the next election. But the truth is, a $20 donation right now will go so much further than…

Wishing you a warm and peaceful holiday

  John,   The stockings are hung, the tree is decorated. With any luck, Santa made a visit last night to those with young ones. Tomorrow is the last night of Hanukkah and the first day of Kwanzaa.   I wish you the warmest and most joy-filled holidays with your loved ones. I lo…

Twitter poll: Should I stay or should I go?

  The Grinch is trying to steal Christmas, John!     Now that Elon Musk has taken over Twitter, he’s brought it crashing down.   Hate speech is up.   Disinformation is up.   Baseless right-wing propaganda is up.   So with all this horrible stuff happening, I’m forced…

I wish we could trust the Supreme Court

  John,   Last week, I cast what should have been an unnecessary vote. I voted to uphold marriage equality.   Why should my vote have been unnecessary? Because the Supreme Court has already ruled in favor of protecting same-sex and interracial marriages across the country. It…

the GOP’s waning interest in leaked SCOTUS opinions

  John –   When the Supreme Court Dobbs opinion overturning Roe was leaked in May, Republicans focused exclusively on the leak of the opinion, trying to draw attention away from the harm their hand-picked right-wing justices were perpetrating on the American people.   Judicia…

We have to live it to defend it

John,   I have a simple favor to ask you today. Please help me honor the legacy of those who have fought for our rights.   We may face voter suppression and nasty GOP tricks from Gov. Kemp and the legislature, but those who went before us faced clubs, fists, fire hoses, and worse. We cannot le…

$10,316

      John, I wouldn't reach out again if it weren't important. Georgians are going to vote in the runoff TOMORROW. This race will be close, and unless we raise another $10,316 before midnight, we could fall short of the critical resources we need to pull ahead and win.   So pl…

We can go back, or we can move forward

Paper-thin weather vanes
