The AR-15 is not a Swiss Army Knife. U.S. REP. ADAM SCHIFF.

 David —

A federal judge just overturned California’s assault weapons ban.

He likened the AR-15 to a “Swiss Army Knife.”

And then spread an anti-vax falsehood that “more people have died from the Covid-19 vaccine than mass shootings in California.”

This is a direct result of Republican presidents packing the lower courts with ideologues, and congressional inaction on gun violence prevention laws.

We need to take a stand against these dangerious ideas and false claims. The Senate must take action to reinstate the federal assault weapons ban. Add your name if you agree.

ADD YOUR NAME

After President Biden’s Rose Garden press conference rallying support for my Equal Access to Justice for Victims of Gun Violence Act in April, I wrote to you that we had already lost over 11,000 people to gun violence this year, seen another 8,000 injured, and witnessed 133 mass shootings.

In just two months, those numbers have virtually doubled. Over 19,000 gun violence deaths. Over 16,000 injured. And 258 mass shootings. Enough.

The AR-15 and weapons like it are not akin to a Swiss Army Knife — it’s a weapon of war. And treating it any other way is an insult to those who have suffered because of this weapon.

The NRA and its Republican allies have fought for decades to stop even the most common-sense reforms, but the bottom line is this: We are the only developed nation in the world that tolerates this kind of bloodshed. It doesn’t have to be this way.

Add your name to join me in demanding the Senate reinstate the federal assault weapons ban. We can’t let NRA talking points or anti-vax misinformation stop us from protecting our communities.

ADD YOUR NAME

Gun violence victims and their families need justice. We must do all we can to enact common-sense gun laws so no more lives are lost to this scourge.

Show your support for H.R. 1! U.S. REP. SETH MOULTON.

 David,

From Texas to Georgia, Republicans in state legislatures are mounting a coordinated attack on voting rights. They’re willing to do whatever it takes to stop Democrats from winning.

That’s why we’re asking for you to support H.R. 1, the For the People Act today. Will you add your name to our petition right now?

Republicans are fighting tooth and nail against this bill because they know if it passes, their corrupt agenda will be ruined and voting rights for all Americans will be protected across the country.

With H.R.1 in place, we will pass Automatic Voter Registration, revive the Voting Rights Act, and deal a major blow to Republican voter suppression.

Thanks for making your voice heard,

Team Moulton

Tell Joe Manchin: Stop supporting Texas Republican voter suppression. BOOT TEXAS REPUBLICANS.

 

David, West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin is out with a new op-ed in his state's local newspaper explaining his opposition to his own party’s voting rights bill: the pro-democracy For the People Act. Without his support, Democrats in Congress are powerless to block attacks on voting rights in Texas and other states with Republican governments. His opposition is directly empowering Texas Republicans who are pushing voter suppression bills in the legislature. This isn’t the first time the filibuster has been used to defend Jim Crow in Texas and other Southern states. Opponents of civil rights have long wielded it as a weapon to protect white supremacy. Now Joe Manchin is joining this shameful tradition. We need to send a message to Joe Manchin that it’s time to fight back: Will you add your name to tell him that there’s nothing bipartisan or unifying about allowing the Texas GOP to take away voting rights from Black and Brown people? ADD MY NAME » Manchin claims that he’s opposing voting rights in the name of bipartisanship. But the truth is that the Republican Party wants to roll back voting rights. Manchin’s obsession with “bipartisanship” with the Republican party is tantamount to supporting their assault on democracy in Texas and across the country. We cannot and must not compromise when it comes to our right to vote. Boot Texas Republicans is fighting back -- but we need you with us. Will you add your name to our petition now? Thanks, --Boot Texas Republicans DONATE »

Trump Postmaster General Louis DeJoy under FBI investigation. U.S. REP. ADAM SCHIFF.

 David —

Louis DeJoy, the Republican megadonor and Trump’s hand-picked Postmaster General, is reportedly under FBI investigation. Color me shocked.

Look, we’ve known since last year about DeJoy’s Postal Service sabotage. We’ve known about his multimillion-dollar investment in a competing contractor. We’ve known that he personally gave $1.1 million to Trump and the GOP. We called it out then. And we need to call it out now.

Thanks to new reporting from the Washington Post, we can see how deep DeJoy’s campaign finance corruption reportedly ran.

Here’s how the alleged donor scheme worked:

DeJoy or one of his aides would urge employees at his North Carolina company New Breed Logistics to “write checks and attend fundraisers at his mansion” for Republican candidates in exchange for salary bonuses.

The Washington Post found that “between 2000 and 2014, 124 individuals who worked for the company together gave more than $1 million to federal and state GOP candidates. Many had not previously made political donations.”

DeJoy’s employees and family members, including his college-aged children, made contributions totaling over $150,000 to Republican candidates and committees, including over $50,000 to Trump Victory.

If these allegations are true, Louis DeJoy must be held legally accountable for denying them and lying under oath to Congress. But one thing should be clear to all of us right now: DeJoy’s time running the USPS is up.

REMOVE DEJOY NOW

DeJoy spent the election year banning overtime for Postal Service employees, decommissioning mail-sorting machines, and removing drop boxes.

t didn’t matter to Louis DeJoy that we were in a deadly pandemic that had millions of Americans relying on the mail for their medications, businesses, and safely voting by mail. In fact that was the point. What mattered was undercutting the agency he was sworn to lead to pursue his own financial self-interest.

DeJoy just announced a new “10-year plan” that would represent the largest rollback of consumer mail services in a generation, and unless the USPS Board of Governors fires him, we’ll continue to see the Postal Service degraded and sabotaged by Trump’s partisan political appointee.

It’s long past time we remove Louis DeJoy from his post, and protect the Postal Service from his self-dealing and disastrous plans.

SIGN THE PETITION

The Post Office and postal workers deserve better than Louis DeJoy. And we need a postal service that works. Let’s take action.
