Friend, An outlaw administration is in charge of our government — and it’s our job to hold it accountable. Since the fateful day when Trump was elected, that’s what we’ve been doing. But with the walls closing in on him, the dangers he poses only increase. That’s why we need you, right now, to support our work with whatever contribution you can afford. And, thanks to a group of generous supporters, your contribution before midnight, September 30 — when we close the books on our fiscal year — will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $100,000. Since Trump’s election, we have sued the administration dozens of times. We forced White House agencies to make public which lobbyists are visiting, kept in place a key fair housing rule, and stopped the administration from converting an effective teen pregnancy prevention program into an abstinence-only boondoggle. We sued over Trump’s fake emergency declaration to fund his racist wall, and much, much more. We have exposed pervasive wrongdoing and filed dozens of ethics complaints against the most corrupt administration in American history. We drove Trump confidante Corey Lewandowski out of a lobbying firm, forced billionaire Carl Icahn from his illegitimate post as “regulatory czar” and facilitated the resignations of former Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price, former Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt, and former Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke. We helped spearhead a national network to protect Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation. That and an aggressive organizing strategy shielded the Mueller investigation — and defended the bedrock principle that nobody is above the law. But as much as we’ve done together — there’s even more to do in the months ahead. Much more. The Ukraine scandal — which appears to grow worse and more outrageous by the moment — and the launch of formal impeachment proceedings puts us in a whole new phase of the Trump regime. What happens during the impeachment proceedings will determine whether Trump emerges from the process stronger or weaker. The very idea that his overt scorn for constitutional values might benefit him politically is too terrible to contemplate. It’s our job to drive the narrative and mobilize the public to make sure that doesn’t happen. To make sure, instead, that constitutional and democratic values are defended. And to make sure that, if he is not convicted by the Senate for high crimes and misdemeanors, at the very least Trump’s grip on power is loosened. This is a grave responsibility. Can you chip in before the end of our fiscal year to supercharge this work? All donations will be matched, dollar-for-dollar. Together, we will hold the outlaw administration accountable. We will defend the rule of law and the norms of democracy and decency. Onward, Robert Weissman
