Kevin McCarthy

McCarthy has already made good on two of his promises to his right-wing allies and corporate donors, and I'm his next target. John — it's officially happened. Kevin McCarthy and the House Republicans have removed both Rep. Adam Schiff and Rep. Eric Swalwell from their House Intelligence Commi…

This is the problem with money in politics

John, Let’s talk about billionaire Jeffrey Yass. Yass has a notorious history of funding Republican election-denying extremists, evading up to $1 billion in federal taxes, and crediting the pandemic with his record profits in recent years. He’s set up sham PACs just to buy candidates off. Th…

We have a problem.

Why is a GOP-mega donor supporting moderate Democrats? John, we have a problem. The Moderate PAC — yes, that’s their real name — is planning on raising $20 million to spend against us, our movement, and our candidates. They got $1,000,000 from a billionaire and GOP mega-donor. Why is a GOP-me…

John, According to the non-profit OpenSecrets, as of 2018 Nancy Pelosi had a net worth of $114,662,521 — it’s absolutely shameful for an elected official to have that much wealth — and just shows that she’s completely out of touch with the vast majority of Americans. Then, just a few days ag…
