John,

Today I want to talk about something that’s very frightening: Donald Trump’s attacks on our Constitution and democracy.

We’re seeing something new every day. Trying to muzzle critics like Jimmy Kimmel. Bragging that he “took free speech away.” Sending armed troops into American cities. Weaponizing the Justice Department to target his political opponents – James Comey, Letitia James, John Bolton… who’s next?

This is a dangerous pattern to punish dissent, reward loyalty, and bend the rules until they break. It’s the same playbook used by authoritarian dictators around the world.

We must take back the House to put a legislative check on Trump. I’m fighting to defend one of the most competitive races in the country. Will you donate now to help us win this critical battleground seat and protect our democracy?

Here’s the honest truth: Our most fundamental rights are at risk. The right to speak, the right to protest, the right to vote. When those rights are under attack from the highest levels of government, we have no choice but to fight back. Congress must stand up and be a check on this abuse of power.

That’s why 2026 matters so much. If Democrats win back the House, we can defend our Constitution, stop the politicization of our justice system, and protect our democracy from those who want to tear it down.

To win this fight, we need you with us. Will you chip in now to help us fight back in one of the most competitive races in the country?

Thank you for standing up when it matters,

– Josh
