John,
Republican Rep. Clay Higgins tried to censure me—to shame me on the House floor and strip me of my committee—all for doing my job.
And, John, he FAILED.
I stood my ground. And we showed Republicans that when we stand together, we stand strong.
This is a victory, but the fight isn’t over. Not by a long shot.
Stand With Us
They will keep trying to silence me and attack me—they have literally charged me with crimes for doing my job. And I will keep standing up and fighting back. Because I know what’s right.
It’s not lost on me that Republicans tried to throw me off of the committee charged with doing oversight of DHS—all for doing oversight of DHS. But this is about more than me. It is about how far the Republican Party will put themselves out on a limb to serve Donald Trump and his cruel agenda.
They tried to shame me. They failed, and they will keep failing because I won’t fold. Not now, not ever.
But I need you with me RIGHT NOW. This is just the beginning of the work we have ahead.
We were able to fight back this time, but we know that the Trump administration won’t stop trying to punish me for doing my job to hold them accountable. That’s why they’re continuing on with their baseless legal battle and charges against me.
They are taking me to court, and we need to amass the resources to mount a legal defense against this administration. Can I count on you to pitch in to Pramila Jayapal and me to help us keep fighting back? We need to raise $13,194 to reach our goal, so we can counter Republicans' latest attacks. Every gift is a huge help.

I'll never apologize for doing the people's work. Thank you for standing with me as the Trump administration and its allies try everything they can to silence my voice.
You can help me fight back by chipping in to Pramila Jayapal and me to help us close our $13,194 budget gap.
We're in this together,
LaMonica
