Centrists and mediocre moderates strike back

Moderate and corporate Democrats who refuse to support those policies, and instead are taking tens of thousands of dollars from defense contractors, private prisons, big Pharma, and Amazon are not the leaders who can deliver that victory. John — The incredible victories of AOC, Ayanna, Ilhan…

DCCC donations with strings attached

Losing support from small dollar donors isn’t just a red flag that your organization isn’t fighting for working-class folks — it also means your funding has a lot more strings attached. It means you create internal organizational policies to stop the AOCs and Ayanna Pressleys of the world from en…

We got a shout out in the NYT!

Right now we’re in an existential struggle for the soul of our party and our country. We can win this battle by electing a whole new slate of leaders who will join the Squad in Congress and fight for a brighter vision of the future. "The Squad was in part propelled to prominence by the Justic…

Our next three Justice Democrats

Look at how much we’ve accomplished with just a few JDs in Congress. Can you imagine what progressives would be capable of doing if we had another 5, 10, 20, or 30? John — Look at how much we’ve accomplished with just a few JDs in Congress. Can you imagine what progressives would be capable o…

Invasion rhetoric directly referenced in shooter manifesto

For months, Fox News has been an accomplice to Trump’s xenophobia — from stoking fear about an incoming “migrant caravan” to giving him cover for the abuses of ICE and CBP. They broadcast white nationalist talking points all day and night. "If you use the term 'this is an invasion,' that's not…

The only Democrat who received $ from NRA in 2016

At every turn, NRA lobbying and their bought-and-paid-for politicians have stopped common-sense gun policies to protect corporate profits. And as the only Democrat who took NRA money in 2016, people like DCCC-backed Henry Cuellar have happily done their bidding. John — Over the weekend, our …

Ouch

According to a new YouGov poll, Trump is less popular nationally than every single member of the Squad. And if you limit the sample to just independent voters, Trump still loses by over 6 points to each progressive champion. John — Ouch. For weeks, Trump has used the bully pulpit to levy r…

This morning the New York Times deputy editor in Washington publicly suggested to JD’s Communications Director that Representatives Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib are not Midwestern anymore than civil rights hero John Lewis is from the Deep South. John — This morning the New York Times deputy e…

DCCC in disarray

“Crime infested”

No human being would want to live there. It’s not just that Trump is disproportionately targeting people of color in Congress for his attacks — it’s the language that he uses. There’s a consistent pattern of referring to black and brown communities as “infestations.” John — Prior to Trump’s …

Trump — ”I could win the war in Afghanistan in 10 days, I just don’t want to kill 10 million people”

Talking about the deaths of 10 million people as an offhand comment in a press conference is genuinely shocking — almost as shocking as the idea that our military has walked Trump through a plan that includes such catastrophic destruction as if it’s something we’d really consider. John — Eve…

Racism is the centerpiece of Trump’s 2020 campaign
