John –

This week has proven that Democrats are activated, fired up, and ready to win across the country.

In Wisconsin, Elon Musk tried to – literally – buy a state Supreme Court seat on Tuesday, but voters showed up to prove that our democracy is not for sale.

Musk made this the most expensive judicial race in history – spending over $25 million, but in the end, he couldn't buy this seat.

In Pennsylvania, Democrats maintained control of the state House by winning a critical seat – thanks to a strong campaign focused on working families.

At the same time, Cory Booker held the floor of the Senate for more than 25 hours – beating the record held by segregationist Strom Thurmond – arguing that the Trump/Musk agenda is based on corruption, bigotry, and lining the pockets of billionaires.

Cory Booker said in his speech: "This is not a left or right moment. It is a right or wrong moment." He's exactly right. This isn't a fight between Republicans and Democrats – it's a fight for the values and principles that define us as Americans.

I promise this: I will never fold in the face of right-wing extremism, and I will always fight for my values and for you.

We're in an uphill battle, but this kind of solidarity and organization is going to take back our country. When we stand up to these people just like Cory Booker and Wisconsin and Pennsylvania voters did, we will win.

We're building an unstoppable grassroots movement that will take on Trump, Musk, and their reckless agenda and win. I'm asking: can you take a moment to pitch in $4 or whatever you can to help grow our grassroots strength?

Donate!

I hope you feel just as renewed and resolved as I am that we should never water down our message or compromise our values.
