I’m suing Pete Hegseth

  John, it's Mark. I am suing the Secretary of Defense. After 25 years in uniform and another 5 in the United States Senate, I never imagined I’d have to do something like this. Hegseth has left me no choice. Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth want to use the power of the White House and t…

Trump wants to make Congress “ceremonial”

  John, In my 22 years in the Army, one core ideal guided my service—that my oath was to the Constitution of the United States, not one man. That’s why under Democratic and Republican presidents, my mission was always the same. Preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution. Fight back…

Cancun Cruz strikes again

  When the going gets tough, Ted gets going. This is pathetic, John. Back in 2021, Ted Cruz fled Texas to sunny Cancun while millions of Texans were without power, heat, or running water amidst a historic power grid failure. 246 people across our state died because Ted Cruz was too …

I am running for the U.S. Senate in Florida

  John, My name is Alex Vindman, and I wanted you to hear directly from me: I am running for the United States Senate in Florida. I’ll explain more about why I chose to run, but if you already know the stakes of this race — and are fired up to defeat Donald Trump’s top ally in the Sena…

Michigan is going to be a fistfight

  Here’s the deal, John — I know I’ve sent a ton of these emails. I’m sorry. But this one is different because Mallory is different, and I’m going to tell you why. I’ve known my good friend Mallory for a while now. She made waves back in 2022 with a speech seen by millions of people on…

Why I’m running for Congress

  Hi John, my name is Bill Hill, and I live in Naknek, Alaska, a remote fishing town of about 470 people. I’m a Bristol Bay commercial fisherman, a former construction worker, a former union member, and a longtime public school educator who has spent decades living and working in rural Ala…

I’m *still* sorry about Karoline Leavitt

  John, I’m sorry about Karoline Leavitt. A few years ago, Karoline Leavitt ran against me for Congress here in New Hampshire. Her campaign was steeped in extreme MAGA rhetoric and zero connection to the actual issues Granite Staters face every day. Voters saw right through it and rejected…

When democracies flicker out

  John, Several weeks ago, myself and five other Members of Congress with service and veteran backgrounds made a video directly quoting the Uniform Code of Military Justice about the military’s responsibility to reject illegal orders. In response, President Trump called for my arrest, tri…

Mission failure is not an option

  Integrity first. Service before self. Excellence in all we do. I learned these values serving in the Air Force, I lived them as a nurse practitioner serving our communities, and they’re exactly why I’m stepping up now. I’m Kristina Knickerbocker, and I’m running for Congress in OH-10…

I’m honored to have the endorsement of Senator Bernie Sanders

  Hi John, my name is Sam Forstag – smokejumper, union leader, and candidate for Congress in Montana’s 1st District. I’m honored to have earned the endorsement of Senator Bernie Sanders! Like Senator Sanders, I believe that too many of us are working hard and still falling behind. This …

Fish, family, freedom and fighting corruption

They can threaten my rank and my pension — but they’re not going to shut me up.

You swear an oath to the Constitution when you join the military — including the First Amendment right to free speech. We swore to defend the foundational principles of this country. I took that oath seriously 40 years ago, and I still do.͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ …

I can’t take it anymore. I’m running for Congress.

There are more millionaires than moms in the House.

  Hi John, my name is Christina Hines. Did you know there are more millionaires in Congress than there are moms? And it shows. Wealthy elites and the politicians in their pockets aren’t losing sleep over the rising costs of groceries, prescriptions, childcare, or housing. They aren’t t…

My Decision.

  Hey John, it’s Mark Kelly. Seven years ago, I was making a decision about whether I was going to run for the Senate. I knew it would be a lot of work. A lot of time away from home. A lot of time away from family. I knew it wouldn’t be easy. But after two years of Donald Trump and a Rep…

This momentum is real

  John, This is super exciting: A new poll shows me in the lead in California’s Governor race! I guess that means we’re doing something right. And I’m sure Donald Trump and his allies are getting nervous after seeing these poll numbers. Now I need your help to hold our lead and continue…

real moments with real people

Trump’s response to our campaign

  Y’all, we’re already living rent free in Trump’s mind — take a look: John, Donald Trump didn’t waste a second making it clear how terrified he is that our campaign has what it takes to end his majority in the Senate. Help us prove him wrong and split a contribution between our camp…

devastating loss

2,382 votes

  John, When I say that my race is one of the most competitive in the country, I'm not exaggerating. Just 2,382 votes made the difference between victory and defeat in our 2024 election. That's a fraction of a percentage point. Special interest groups and dark money super PACs spent $25…

This is the biggest swing district in California

  John, it's Marni Von Wilpert. Fight For Progress said I could reach out with a major ask. If you’ve felt like all eyes are on California, it’s because this race is one of the most competitive in the country. We passed Prop. 50 last month, which took this district, CA-48, from safe red t…

Don't you dare go to sleep on me

Trump’s FBI is targeting me
