John,

The bad news has dropped:

That’s not just a number. That’s a warning.

While most people are just starting to think about the midterms, Trump’s MAGA machine is already loading the chamber. Nearly all of that money is coming from billionaire donors — people like Elon Musk and Trump’s ultra-rich allies — who think democracy is something you can buy, bend, and break.

This is how power gets locked in before voters even get a say.

That money means earlier ads. Earlier disinformation. Earlier pressure on swing districts. Earlier intimidation of candidates who dare to run against them. By the time most campaigns “start,” the map is already tilted.

That’s exactly why Building Blue exists. We don’t wait for the panic phase. We raise early. We organize early. We back candidates before MAGA money hardens the battlefield and makes it impossible to catch up.

Because once this kind of money advantage sets in, you don’t overcome it with hope. You overcome it by acting now. If we’re going to stop Trump and his billionaire backers from buying another election, the work has to start today — not six months from now, not when it’s already too late. Please join us in this fight back early and build the power we need to win in 2026.

They’re already moving. We can’t afford to stand still.

Building Blue
