John,

Today, two days after Trump’s Justice Department charged me with crimes for engaging in congressional oversight at an ICE facility, MAGA extremist Nancy Mace filed a resolution to expel me from Congress. Bless her heart.

Let's be clear about what's happening: Donald Trump and his loyalists in Congress are doing everything they can to silence their political opposition—even if it means weaponizing the Justice Department and the Constitution to punish dissent.

I won’t back down from Nancy’s threats or the fight for our democracy. That’s why we set a goal of 1,000 grassroots donations before our deadline at midnight. Can I count on you to donate $10 or whatever feels right between me and Fight For Progress?

We cannot allow the Trump administration to attempt to silence politicians through political persecution—it’s authoritarian and anti-democratic. Together, we’ll hold them accountable and restore real oversight to our government.

We have to send a strong message that these attacks on democracy will not stand. Any donation amount you can split between me and Fight For Progress will help us send that message loud and clear.

We're in this together,

LaMonica
