John,
I've been in politics long enough to know when something feels dangerous.
And what we're seeing from Donald Trump right now isn't just politics. It's authoritarianism.
He's indicting his political opponents, weaponizing the Department of Justice to investigate liberal activists, journalists and philanthropists he doesn't like, and censoring late-night hosts for criticizing him.
This isn't bluster. It's a two-bit mob boss dismantling democracy, one institution at a time.
And if we let him do it -- if we let Trump's allies keep control of the House -- there may be no coming back.
That's why I'm working around the clock to stop it, but I can't do this alone. And right now, we're up against our biggest FEC fundraising deadline of the year.
We need to raise $15,000 from grassroots donors by Sept. 30 to stay on track. Can I count on your support right now?
If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
We're seeing the blueprint play out in real time: criminalize dissent, erase oversight, purge federal agencies, and flood the courts and the Justice Department with loyalists. If it sounds familiar, it's because history has seen this before.
That's why the midterms are about more than one seat or one race. It's about protecting the very idea of a functioning democracy.
That starts by taking back the House and replacing Trump's enablers with candidates who will fight for reproductive rights, voting access, environmental justice, and real economic fairness.
We're close to hitting our goal, and I'll be honest: we need your help to close the gap.
If you've been waiting to give, now is the moment. Please click here to chip in before our big FEC fundraising deadline.
Thank you for everything you do.
