What happens now in Maine:

My opponent and the dark money super PACs backing him have been flooding Alaska’s airwaves with lies

This week, we called on our own nominee for the U.S. Senate to withdraw. We hold every candidate who seeks to carry our banner to the highest standard, and we stand with women and survivors. That principle does not bend based on party affiliation.  He has now withdrawn. The hard decision in this story was not ours. It belonged to the women who came forward, because speaking up is often costly, and we respect them for it. Our responsibility required judgment and a willingness to act when circumstances demanded it. Circumstances demanded it. We acted. Now we want to talk to you about what happens next, because it matters enormously. There is no Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate in Maine. Our party will come together, as our rules provide, to choose the Democrat who will carry our banner against Susan Collins. We will do it carefully and we will do it right. Mainers deserve nothing less. But here is the hard truth about that gap: Susan Collins does not pause while we confer. She has been raising money for this race for six years. Her campaign is raising more today, and it will raise more tomorrow. The corporate PACs and wealthy interests her votes protect are not waiting to see who our nominee is. They are adding to a war chest six years in the making, while our side has no candidate, no campaign, and no one answering. Whoever we choose will start this race six years behind. Every day of this holding period is a day she banks money unanswered. We refuse to let our next nominee start from zero. So the Maine Democratic Party is opening the Day One Fund: money raised now, held ready, so that the moment our new nominee is chosen, they inherit a running start instead of an empty account. Day one, they will need a statewide organizing operation already paid for. Day one, they will need voter contact already underway in all 16 counties. Day one, they will need to answer Collins on the air, not spend a month catching up. That is what this fund does. Not a bailout, not a rainy-day account. A running start, waiting for whoever earns the nomination. Can you help power us with a split contribution between Maine Democrats and Equal Opportnity Now today? DONATE TODAY TO THE DAY ONE FUND! >> This Senate race comes at a pivotal moment in the struggle against a government, supported by Senator Collins, that serves the interests of the wealthy and powerful at the expense of ordinary Maine people. That struggle did not end this week. If anything, our responsibility to it grew. The party will do its job in the days ahead. We are asking you to do yours today, so that our nominee, whoever they are, walks into this fight ready.

Nicolle Wallace just SPOKE OUT and changed EVERYTHING!!!

🥳 WOW, SANDEEP!!! After Nicolle Wallace spoke up against the SAVE Act, signatures to block this voter suppression bill SKYROCKETED!!! DON'T FORGET: Republicans are scrambling to pass this bill before the midterms to SILENCE Democratic voters and rig the election. SO WE NEED YOU TO SIGN: BLOCK THE SAVE ACT! >> SIGN NOW: DEMAND THE SENATE REJECT THE SAVE ACT >> Nicolle Wallace is WARNING us: Sandeep, Nicolle is SO right – and now, Trump is commanding MAGA Republicans to pass the “SAVE Act” and suppress our votes in the midterms! We still have time to STOP this oppressive bill, so we’re calling on every Democrat in Ohio to sign on and tell the Senate to defend our votes >> SIGN NOW: DEMAND THE SENATE REJECT THE SAVE ACT >> Sandeep, the “SAVE Act” would make it harder for MILLIONS of Americans to vote. Here’s how: → Forcing voters to provide a birth certificate or passport to prove their citizenship. → Disproportionately blocking women from voting if they changed their name after marriage. → Shutting down online voter registration and community‑based voter registration drives. → Purging eligible voters from the rolls. That’s why top Democrats are COMMANDING the Senate to block this antiquated bill! DON’T BE FOOLED: Republicans are trying to DISMANTLE voting rights ahead of the midterm elections because they know they’re LOSING! So we’re assembling a MASSIVE petition to demand Senate Democrats BLOCK this voter suppression bill and DEFEND our free elections >> SIGN NOW: DEMAND THE SENATE REJECT THE SAVE ACT >> P.S.

"Death to Krishnamoorthi"

I need to tell you something I don't talk about enough. Outside of my office, a group of extremists gathered and screamed what translates to "Death to Krishnamoorthi" at the top of their lungs. A crowd of people, in America, calling for my death. I'm an immigrant. The son of people who came to this country with nothing because they believed it was a place where you could live freely, speak freely, and serve your community without fearing for your life. A place where disagreement didn't end in threats of violence. Sadly, this is nothing new. I have faced this before.  A sitting Republican elected official also publicly tagged the Department of Homeland Security on social media to report me as a "foreign occupier" with an "unpronounceable name" and called for the mass deportation of Indians. I have been mocked, threatened, and told in a hundred different ways that someone like me doesn't belong in American public life. And every single time, I have made the same choice. Keep going. Because the moment I stop — the moment I let the hatred win — is the moment I break faith with every family that came to this country believing it was worth fighting for. Including my own. This is the America we are living in right now. Extremists feel emboldened to threaten, intimidate, and silence the people who are trying to do the work. Hatred has been given permission to operate in the open. The machinery of government is being used to make certain communities feel like they don't belong. Equal Opportunity Now exists because we need leaders who have faced this kind of hatred and didn't flinch. Who know what it costs to keep going and choose to keep going anyway. Who will stand up — not just for themselves, but for every family that is being targeted, threatened, and told they don't belong. Those leaders are out there. And they need our support right now. Will you chip in $10, $20, or $50 to Equal Opportunity Now today to help us elect leaders who won't be intimidated — no matter what they face? DONATE TODAY! >> They can scream all they want. We are not slowing down. — Raja Krishnamoorthi  Founder | Equal Opportunity Now Visit Our Website To Learn More!   Equal Opportunity Now is d/b/a Reviving American Jobs Again  PAC (RAJA PAC) Equal Opportunity Now P.O.

Please read: Marriage equality is under threat from Trump's Supreme Court

Heartwrenching News: “Supreme Court formally asked to overturn landmark same‑sex marriage ruling” → In 2015, John Roberts wrote the minority dissent against legalizing same‑sex marriage. → Now, he’s the Chief Justice – and he could lead Trump’s MAGA Court to OVERTURN marriage equality. So we’re calling on every Ohio Democrat to sign our nationwide petition and demand the Supreme Court PROTECT marriage equality >> ADD YOUR NAME TO PROTECT MARRIAGE EQUALITY >> [1.] Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito have both called for Obergefell v. Hodges, the historic case that legalized same‑sex marriage, to be OVERTURNED. [2.] Now extremist Republicans are commanding the Supreme Court to send marriage equality back to the states (just like abortion). [3.] This would be devastating for LGBTQ+ Americans in red states – and it would set LGBTQ+ rights back DECADES. So we’re starting a massive petition to demand the Supreme Court protect marriage equality from far‑right attacks – because it’s the law of the land. Sandeep, will you join Ohio Democrats in adding your name to protect marriage equality? SIGN NOW >> ADD YOUR NAME TO PROTECT MARRIAGE EQUALITY >> We’re not going back.
