John,

Donald Trump’s “revenge” campaign is getting uglier by the day.

In a move straight out of a dictatorship, Trump is weaponizing the Justice Department to target anyone who’s dared to stand up to him — President Obama, Senator Adam Schiff, New York Attorney General Letitia James, and former FBI Director James Comey. The list goes on.

After terrorizing my home state of California, Trump is now deploying the National Guard and seizing control of the police in Washington, D.C.

To me, it feels like a desperate attempt by Trump to get back at his enemies and distract everyone from his ongoing Jeffrey Epstein scandal.

Let me be clear: We cannot allow our justice system to become a President’s personal vendetta machine. Trump will clearly do anything to protect himself — even if it means tearing down our democracy.

We have to take back the House to put a check on Trump’s authoritarianism. Winning my swing seat in CA-9 is absolutely critical. So, will you please chip in now to help us fight back against Trump?

We must take this threat seriously.
