Friend,
GUILTY on all counts.
The former president of the United States, Donald Trump, has been found
guilty of 34 counts of lying to voters and interfering in an election in
order to grab power.(1)
But his MAGA cronies are already in front of the camera defending him and
spinning lies about the verdict.
Friend, this verdict will be meaningless if we allow Trump back
into the White House and his allies in the Senate and House. It is up to
us to make sure that this is a day that goes down in history, and that
every voter makes him face the full consequences of his crimes -- at the
ballot box -- so he can no longer chip away at our freedoms.
[ [link removed] ]Today's verdict isn't just about Trump -- we need to hold every MAGA
politician complicit with him accountable. Will you chip in?

It took a jury just two days to find former president Donald Trump guilty
of all 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree.(2)
It's election interference, full stop.
He is the first president in history to be convicted of a felony. You
would think the Republican party would be running for the hills.
But Republicans in Congress are already defending him, minutes after
the verdict -- because they don't care about our democracy. They care
about their own power.
Trump is just one piece of the MAGA effort to take down our Constitution,
and these politicians are showing their true colors today. We need to make
people aware what they are really defending -- an attempt to undermine our
democracy.
[ [link removed] ]We must capitalize on this moment. Will you chip in?
Yours in the fight for our democracy!
