Friend,​

We’ve had some unusually warm weather for January, but now that the cold has settled in again, an amazing sight has returned to New York’s streets: dogs in sweaters. 

Fighting back against Trump’s cruelty (and McConnell’s obstruction) can be stressful, not just for us but for supporters like you as well! That’s why we decided not to focus on the negative stories coming out of Washington, but to instead send around some of our favorite pictures of pups in sweaters. If you enjoy these, and want to help Nydia make a paw-sitive difference, chip in and help us keep up the fight:

Lucy hates going to the vet, but she still thinks everyone deserves to have healthcare

Rufus thinks there should be a National Dog Park

These pups are all about bipawtisanship

Lola's proud to see so many women running for office

We know divisive times like these can be difficult, but we hope a goofy email like this can help brighten your day. We know you're committed to helping Nydia fight for what's right -- and that she can always count on you to have her back.

We hope you're staying warm just like these dogs, and we hope you're committed to helping Democrats pull off some big wins this fall. If you're ready to stop being so stressed over the policies of Trump and his cronies, will you chip in $100, $50, or $25 today so we can work to get them out of office?
