Friend—

Never in my wildest dreams did I expect to be the Republican Party’s favorite punching bag for insults and attacks.

But if investigating Donald Trump for his attempts to overturn the election and incite an insurrection makes me a “Wild-eyed conspiracy nut,” as Tucker Carlson called me, so be it.

If investigating and impeaching Donald Trump means Kevin McCarthy calling me a liar and kicking me off the Intelligence Committee, so be it.

And if Donald Trump himself wants to call me “shifty Schiff” or a “sleaze bag” for holding him to account again (and again, and again), so be it.

I wear their enmity as a badge of honor. The insults and attacks show that they’re terrified of how effective I’ve been — and I’m not letting my foot off the gas when it comes to defending our democracy from MAGA extremists like Trump, Carlson, McCarthy, or anyone else.

Please, help me take our work to the United States Senate — the last place Trump wants me to be — by splitting a contribution between Defend Democracy Now and my campaign of $10 or any amount you can spare.

Thanks for your support. While I face these attacks, it means so much to me to know you’re on my side.
