Impeachment

Yesterday effectively kicked off the very first impeachment hearing in the House Judiciary Committee. Trump’s close confidant and former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski was the first—and so far only—witness to testify, and no bombshells were dropped. But it’s clear the...

From the top to the bottom of the ticket, women are transforming campaigns

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand’s departure from the presidential race means there will be only three women on a debate stage of 10 this Thursday. But we can’t forget: What’s happening is historic. Only four years ago it seemed like a stretch...

Election Day 2019 is 62 days away

Don’t let this be the last time we see Kirsten, Amy, Kamala and Warren on the debate stage

We just saw over the last two nights why we need to keep women on the Democratic debate stage. From Elizabeth Warren’s passionate call for progressive policies, to Amy Klobuchar’s defense of reaching the Midwestern, middle-of-the-road voter, to Kirsten Gillibrand’s...

Calling 130,000 Donors:

Wendy’s pink sneaks are back on the campaign trail

Wendy Davis is running for Congress! She’s set to challenge freshman incumbent Texas Rep. Chip Roy, who won last year by a (barely) 3-point margin. A star-powered, progressive champion like Wendy could be what it takes to make up that...
