The Squad was right

John, A few weeks ago, corporate Democrats joined with Republicans to put climate action, universal pre-K, paid leave, and Medicare expansion at risk. The Squad voted against the political establishment, and for good reason. The Squad was right not to trust corporate Democrats like Joe Man…

We're electing Justice Democrats in 2022

Let's win some primaries. John, The status quo cannot continue. President Biden is refusing to cancel student loan debt. Democrats joined with Republicans to approve a $768 billion military budget, but Congress hasn’t passed legislation to fight climate change. Corporate Democrats openly op…

Corporate Democrats say one thing and do another

The candidates we’ve elected to Congress have made a tremendous impact. John, In 2018, we recruited Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to run for Congress. In 2020, Justice Democrats Cori Bush, Jamaal Bowman, and Marie Newman won their seats in competitive primary elections. And in 2022, we’ve recrui…

Tell Nancy Pelosi: Take action against Boebert’s bigotry

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has called Nancy Pelosi’s inaction an embarrassment. John, Nancy Pelosi hasn’t done anything to condemn the hateful rhetoric of conspiracy-theorist Lauren Boebert, who called Ilhan Omar evil and “black-hearted”, and went on to imply that Ilhan was a terrorist. Since B…

Tell Pres. Biden: Cancel Student Loan Debt

$1.8 trillion. John, More than 45 million people owing more than $1.8 trillion: That’s the student loan debt crisis in America. With one swipe of the pen, President Biden could cancel that debt and free a generation of people from the crushing burden of student loan debt. Unless Biden cance…

re: Anti-choice Democrats

The right is fighting to take away a person’s constitutional right to an abortion. We can’t have Democrats standing with them. John, As Supreme Court justices consider Mississippi’s restrictive abortion laws, the future of abortion access in this country remains uncertain. For years, conserv…

Cuellar's Big Oil campaign money

Jessica, a Green New Deal champion vs. Cuellar, Big Oil's best friend. It’s coming down to this, John. With less than 75 days until early voting starts in Jessica Cisneros’ primary election against Henry Cuellar, it’s all about climate change and Big Oil. This primary is clear: Jessica, a Gr…

Obstruction

Anti-Muslim bigotry has no place in Congress

Kevin McCarthy and Corporate Dems

The political establishment would be fine with "normal" and "stopping the chaos." John, Corporate Dems listen to corporate lobbyists instead of the people. That’s the core of the problem, no matter how much establishment Democrats try to blame progressives for their election losses. Progres…

Who is Danny Davis representing?

John, For too long, Congressman Danny Davis has been a representative for health insurance companies, the real estate industry, and big corporations instead of the people. So we weren’t surprised that Davis is the third-highest recipient of pro-business PAC money among Democrats in Congres…
