This is gun violence in Chicago

The fact that I faced federal charges for protesting before Van Dyke faced federal charges for Laquan’s murder tells you everything you need to know about our justice system. Content warning: This email discusses police brutality and murder. John, Last week, I was arrested along with other…

ICYMI: AOC was right about Manchin

The Democratic Party made mistakes. John, the bulk of the Democratic policy agenda — health care, fighting climate change, paid family and medical leave, lowering prescription drug costs, and so much more — came down to Democratic leadership listening to either the Squad or Joe Manchin. Unfor…

Fox News is taking notice

Here at Justice Democrats, we know that we need to not just elect more Democrats, we need to elect better Democrats. John, Fox News is taking notice: That’s right (though, we’d usually call those “moderates” corporate Democrats). We’re challenging longtime incumbents who cater to the interes…

The numbers are in (re: Team Blue PAC)

We predicted that Team Blue PAC would be funded by corporate donors, and we were right. John, Last summer, Reps. Hakeem Jeffries and Josh Gottheimer launched Team Blue PAC to protect corporate Democrats from progressive primary challengers. Back in June, we predicted that Team Blue PAC woul…

The corporate money machines we’re up against

We’ve been outraised and outspent before. John, We knew that we had a tough fight ahead of us when we recruited five working-class organizers to run against powerful, well-funded opponents. Unfortunately, FEC numbers were just released and it’s looking like the fight got tougher for our Ju…

The Democratic Party’s problem

Now we’re all suffering the consequences. Democrats have a real problem, John. A razor-thin majority in the Senate has given corporate Democrats Joe Manchin and Krysten Sinema an outsized role in blocking progress. But it didn’t have to be like this. During the 2020 elections, the Democrati…

AOC was right about Manchin

The Democratic Party made mistakes. John, Joe Manchin isn’t interested in passing any of our progressive priorities. And the Squad knew it from the very beginning. Here’s Manchin joking about obstructing progressive policies in Build Back Better yesterday: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez didn’t lik…

Super PAC just endorsed against 3 of our candidates

They’ve spent millions against our candidates. John, we've seen this before. A Republican-funded Super PAC called the Democratic Majority for Israel (DMFI) just endorsed against three of our candidates. In the 2020 presidential primary, DMFI spent a ton of money running TV ads smearing Bernie…

Racist politicians and racist redistricting

Cuellar shows up at anti-abortion event

It's bad enough. John, Yesterday, Henry Cuellar accepted an award from March for Life, an extreme anti-abortion group that opposes Roe v. Wade. That was his FIRST public appearance since his house and campaign office were raided by the FBI. It’s bad enough that Henry Cuellar takes millions …
