DO EXACTLY WHAT I TELL YOU!

In my first Senate race, I clobbered Norm Coleman by 312 votes. It was the narrowest clobbering in history. Thank God for all the Minnesotans who went out and door knocked for me. And because I became the 60th Democrat in the Senate, we were able to pass The Affordable Care Act.

A SCARY EMAIL!!!

Oooooooooh. It’s very scary! The Republicans want to take over Congress! You know what that means, don’t you!!! They will kill our children and drink their blood!!!!

Wait! I’m confused! That’s us supposedly.

Let Me Intimidate You!

During the first round of questions during Amy Coney Barrett’s Supreme Court confirmation hearing, Sen. Amy Klobuchar opened by asking the nominee a simple question: “Judge Barrett, under federal law is it illegal to intimidate voters at the polls?”

A Not-Insulting End-of-Quarter Email

If you’re a political donor — and, of course, you are — you get a lot of fundraising emails that insult your intelligence. Unless, of course, you’re an idiot.

Thank you, Lindsey Graham

So, Lindsey Graham has dropped a bill that would ban abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy. A year-and-a-half ago, he introduced a bill that would ban abortion after 20 weeks. I see a trend here. Next year, ten weeks.

I was great on CNN

This past Saturday I was on Jim Acosta’s CNN show with CNN commentator Alice Stewart, a former campaign strategist for Republicans like Rick Santorum, Michele Bachman, and Ted Cruz.

Re: Redacted email

As a member of the Judiciary Committee, I would occasionally go down to the SCIF in the basement of the Capitol to read classified documents. Unlike Donald Trump, I never took the documents home. Bastard!

Fun Labor Day Reading!

Well, it’s Labor Day weekend. Time for me to lay back, relax, and write another fundraising email for Midwest Values PAC!

Midwest Values PAC supports candidates & causes that share our values.

Somehow, it’s been 20 years since I started Midwest Values PAC to help Democrats win elections — from progressive organizations to state legislatures to Congress to the White House — who share the values I grew up with in St. Louis Park, Minnesota.

Since 2006, Midwest Values PAC has invested more than $4 million in 341 candidates and organizations — and counting. 

Of course, none of this happens without you (or supporters like you) who care enough to pitch in.

As we mark our 20th anniversary, the work is more urgent than ever. This year, we have a big job: flip the House, take the Senate, and win up and down the ballot at the state and local level.

To mark our 20th year, we’ve set an ambitious goal: 26,000 contributions by Election Day 2026.

Thanks for being part of this fight, and for sticking with us for 20 years (or for just joining — welcome!).

P.S. Over the years, okay, decades, we’ve helped Democrats win tough races all across the country by investing early, intelligently, and strategically. That’s how you flip seats. That’s how you protect democracy. And that’s how you stop the worst impulses of a president who never should have been president in the first place.
