| 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.
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. We must capitalize on this moment. Will you chip in? Yours in the fight for our democracy! –Irene, Annie, Angela, Isidra, Mario, Marvin, Alyssa, Jen, and Lindsay (the Courage team)
