I won’t sugarcoat it -- what’s happening in Washington right now is downright dangerous.

John,

I won’t sugarcoat it — what’s happening in Washington right now is downright dangerous.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are steamrolling over our democracy, gutting essential programs, and throwing our entire system of government into chaos. They aren’t just cutting deals behind closed doors — they’re waging an all-out war on working people.

Let’s be clear: we didn’t elect Elon Musk. Yet, his grip on Trump’s White House is growing stronger every day. Federal employees—many of them veterans—are being fired en masse. Government agencies are being gutted. And we know Musk will likely use his influence to score massive taxpayer-funded deals for his own companies while snooping into the confidential data of millions of Americans.

This isn’t governing. It’s a hostile takeover.

The only way we stop them is by taking back Congress — because let’s face it, the House GOP isn’t going to hold Trump or Musk accountable. They’re handing them the keys.

We need to build our movement now, and we have just a few days left before our critical end-of-month deadline. We’re aiming to raise $10,000 to fuel this fight—can you pitch in whatever you can?

This is about more than one election. It’s about who controls our future: working people or a handful of billionaires who want to hoard power for themselves.

We’ve fought back before, and we can do it again—but only if we stand together.

Thank you for being in this fight with me.

All my best,
Chellie
