Hey John — If you remember, I reached out to you a couple of weeks ago to ask how you were feeling.

We were just wrapping up a very tough week, featuring Donald Trump and J.D. Vance shamelessly berating Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, Trump recklessly starting a trade war with Canada and Mexico, and Trump spreading more lies and hateful rhetoric during his joint address to Congress.

I asked if you could fill out a survey ( which you can take here if you haven’t already! [[link removed]] ) to share your thoughts about the tough week we had and your concerns for the road ahead.

I was delighted to see that so many of you took the time to complete the survey, so I wanted to take a moment today to address some of the concerns this team shared with me.

You all overwhelmingly ranked defending our democracy as one of its top priorities — and I agree.

Trump and his allies are working around the clock to weaken our democracy and concentrate power for themselves. The strength of our democracy depends on a strong system of checks and balances. which is why I’m fighting back against their attacks on the rule of law.

Many of you also expressed concerns about the unchecked power billionaires like Elon Musk have in Trump’s administration.

If you remember, Trump placed billionaire tech CEOs in the front row of his inauguration. And that says all you need to know. Every decision he makes is designed to make them wealthier at your expense — whether it’s dismantling key federal agencies like the Department of Education or coming for our health care and Social Security.

I want to be clear — no unelected billionaire should have control of the government. That’s why I’m fighting every day to hold the billionaires in Trump’s cabinet accountable and protect working families from Trump’s reckless agenda.

I hear you loud and clear, John. People are fed up with Trump attacking our democracy and ripping off hardworking folks just to line the pockets of billionaires like Musk — and I am, too.

If you’re ready to fight back with me, please pitch in a few dollars today to fuel my fight against the Trump administration >> [[link removed]]

We won’t win this fight by sitting quietly on the sidelines. We have to stand up, fight back, and do everything we can to defend hardworking folks from Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s cruel attacks and scare tactics.
