Friend,

With just one day left until my final quarterly fundraising deadline of the year – and with it, the official start of the 2026 midterm cycle – there's something I've got to ask:

What would you do if you knew your gift of $5 toward my $50,000 year-end goal could help me put an end to Trump's MAGA Senate majority?

(If the answer is "chip in," you can click here to do that now.)

But otherwise, let me put it to you another way:

If you knew your $5 could help Senate Democrats beat Fox News' flood of far-right rage bait and reach voters with the truth, would it be worth it to you?

If you knew your $5 would help me and my colleagues build the resources to unseat vulnerable Republicans and flip the Senate blue, wouldn't you chip in?

If you knew that by giving $5 now, you could play a vital role in halting Trump's agenda, making him a lame-duck president, and see his administration finally held accountable – wouldn't it be the best $5 you ever spent?

Now, I'm not promising your $5 can accomplish all of these feats alone.

But if you and everyone else reading this chipped in $5 to help me close the 18% gap to my $50,000 year-end goal right now, we'd reach it long before the new year rings in.

And when it comes to hitting the ground running in 2026 with a grassroots war chest big enough to overcome billionaire MAGA mega-donors – or stopping Trump's legislative agenda in its tracks after Election night – every last dollar makes a difference.

If we plan on showing Republicans what a real mandate looks like in 2026, we're going to need a SURGE of grassroots support before the end of 2025 – so what do you say, friend? Now that you know what your $5 has the power to do, can I please count on you?

Thank you for sticking with me and for everything you do.
