John,

On Tuesday, military generals from all across the world were ordered by Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth to gather for what can only be considered a televised political stunt.

It was extremely uncomfortable as both Hegseth and Trump were visibly unnerved by the general's refusal to play along with the stunt, remaining completely silent and withholding applause.

But then Trump’s speech to the generals took a dark turn:

Trump and MAGA are out for blood - threatening to use the military to enact political retribution on Democrats under the completely manufactured guise of “rising crime.”

And we shouldn’t be surprised, MAGA extremists like Lauren Boebert have been laying the foundation for this, publicly fantasizing about armies being unleashed on Democrats:

Boebert is fomenting the political violence that is tearing our nation apart. We are on the brink of something horrible and time is running out to stop it. We must fire her this election before she drags our nation further in the wrong direction.

With your help we can retire Trump’s most bloodthirsty ally before it’s too late. Will you split a contribution of $25, $10 or whatever you can spare with me and Hold Them Accountable to help us continue to rapidly scale the campaign that will oust Boebert in 2026?

Our democracy is on the line, it’s now or never.
