'The attacks on me are rolling in: [View all]

yesterday I found out the NRA is putting me front and center on one of their magazines. Check it out below. Also, apparently Donald Trump called me a "disgusting, little, weak, pathetic baby." And now, on the day I released my plan to expand Social Security, the Third Way says it's "political pandering at its worst."

Want to help me stand up against these attacks? Donate $15 today.

Here are the facts: just a week after I get a bump in the polls, more folks are putting my campaign and progressive vision for the nation in their crosshairs.

We're gaining momentum and I need your help to show these guys we're not afraid—that we stand by our progressive values. We stand by expanding social security and the right to unionize. We stand by gun safety regulations.

Donate $15 to stand up to the NRA. Donate $15 to tell Donald Trump we're not backing down. Donate $15 to tell the Third Way we WILL expand Social Security.

Donald Trump called me a “little baby” just one day after I stood with workers from his hotel in Las Vegas who want to unionize. I am not interested in a race to the bottom with Mr. Trump, and I am proud to stand with those who have the guts to stand up to him. We should be making it easier—not harder—for workers to organize.

Donate $15 if you're with me.

The National Rifle Association took out a whole feature to slam me for saying I'm "eager to make gun control an issue in [my] campaign to be president.” Yes. I definitely am. I am proud to stand against the congressional gun lobbyists who think that it is extreme to support things like background checks or a ban on high-capacity magazines.

Donate $15 if you're with me.

The Third Way thinks I want to expand Social Security because it "polls well." This isn't about polls. I am proud to stand up for our most vulnerable because it's the right thing to do.

Donate $15 if you're with me.

This is just the beginning. They are coming after me now, and I am sure there will be more attacks. Commit to this campaign today to say you’re on the right side of these issues.
