Friend, this headline isn't an exaggeration – it's the reality I'm facing right now.

Donald Trump has made it clear that he will stop at nothing to punish me for holding him accountable. He's launching attacks, spreading lies, and doing everything he can to undermine the work we've done for New Yorkers.

But here's the truth: I didn't run for Attorney General to make friends with the powerful. I ran to stand up for the people of New York. And I will never back down from that duty – not even for the president. But to keep up this fight, I need you with me.

I'm up against an urgent $15,000 midnight goal to ensure I can stand firm against Trump's assaults and keep fighting. Will you donate $5 or more right now to help?

From taking on corrupt corporations, to defending reproductive freedom, and holding bad actors accountable no matter how wealthy or well-connected they are, my commitment to the vulnerable and voiceless has never wavered. And it never will.

Trump's allies would love nothing more than to see me silenced. But as long as I'm in this fight, I'll keep using every tool at my disposal to protect New Yorkers and stand up for justice, the rule of law, and our very democracy – in our state and across the country.

If you're with me, please consider chipping in toward my $15,000 goal now. Every dollar you give before midnight fuels my fight for our rights, freedom, and democracy.

Thank you for standing with me.
