Hi John,    Congresswoman Barbara Lee here. Today, I am proud to endorse Cori Bush for Congress — because she’s what St. Louis needs.

Netanyahu.

Earlier today, war criminal and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed Congress… By bestowing Netanyahu with a joint address, Congress is not only green-lighting genocide; it is celebrating the man at the forefront of it.   That’s why I – along with many of my colleagues – boycotted his…

It’s been an eventful couple of months, John.   FIRST: AIPAC and their GOP megadonors successfully bought their way into Jamaal Bowman’s race. THEN: Those very same megadonors started pouring millions of dollars into my race in an attempt to buy this seat for my opponent.  NOW: GOP extremists have m…

The GOP’s long-term agenda

John,  Project 2025 is a blueprint that Trump and his allies have laid out for rolling back essential rights and freedoms, gutting critical programs, enacting a nationwide abortion ban, and implementing policies that favor the wealthy and powerful at the expense of everyday people.

Powerful anti-abortion funders are pouring millions into our race

Who’s behind the $$?

“Is Bell an opportunist who shifted his political parties to appease Bush’s wealthy enemies?” The answer is a resounding “yes”.  Our opponent is more interested in pleasing his wealthy donors than standing up for the people of St. Louis. He's willing to sell out our values for a quick buck – in lieu…
