Congress must rein in Hegseth and Trump before it’s too late

These strikes are dangerous, illegal and counterproductive. And they must stop. John— Congress must rein in Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump before it’s too late. The most unqualified Secretary of Defense in modern history and a wannabe tinpot dictator are leading a campaign of illegal, uncons…

Pete Hegseth must be fired immediately

John, Pete Hegseth must be fired immediately. Add your name if you agree. SIGN ON Pete Hegseth should never have been tapped for this job in the first place. Every single day he is running the Pentagon, he is making our country less safe. The job of Secretary of Defense is too important …

Today. Not tomorrow. Not next week.

John— Today. Not tomorrow. Not next week. Today is the day I need you to donate to support my work in the U.S. Senate. As Donald Trump and his loyalists slash health care and cut life-saving programs while doing nothing to lower costs, I am doing everything I can to defend our democracy fr…

Sorry to be so upfront

John—can you please make a $5 contribution to support Tammy Duckworth before tomorrow’s deadline? We're sorry to be so upfront with you, but fundraising is down across the board this month. We need your help to catch up because your $5 has a huge impact on Tammy’s work. $5 to protect our n…

Mark Kelly

Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are trying to intimidate and silence Sen. Mark Kelly. That’s all I needed to hear to protect a fellow Veteran and public servant from death threats and political persecution. If you agree, please split a donation between Mark Kelly’s and my campaign now: DONAT…

Not great (just checked ActBlue)

John, we’re going to show you exactly what’s going on. See this chart? It’s our fundraising over the past few weeks. The blue bars show money raised, while the line shows number of donations. We asked this team to rally together to help reach Tammy’s October end-of-month goal – and you d…

Less than ten days, John.

Small-dollar online donors are the backbone of Tammy Duckworth’s campaign. We are proud of that fact -- but it does mean that we have to work extra hard to hit our fundraising goals. So with less than ten days to go before our November fundraising deadline, we have two choices: either we …

The President of the United States is calling for sitting Members of Congress to be killed.

Have you seen this disturbing message from the President, John? The President of the United States is calling for sitting Members of Congress to be killed. This is unacceptable. Frankly, it’s disgusting. Trump’s words create real danger for these public servants. Every death threat again…

NBC: “Department of War” could cost up to $2 billion

John, it’s Tammy Duckworth reaching out with an update on Pete Hegseth’s “Department of War.” NBC reports that changing the name of the Department of Defense could cost as much as $2 billion. Will you join me in demanding that the Trump Administration cancel this wasteful project that will…

ICE is arresting U.S. citizens

I refuse to give up on American families

John, it’s Tammy. We have lots of work to do today to protect the American people from Trump’s chaos, so I’ll get right to it: If you agree that Democrats should keep holding Trump and Republicans accountable for skyrocketing health care costs and forcing families to go hungry, please use…

I’m sorry to remind you

See this, John? In the middle of what is set to be the longest shutdown in our nation’s history—a shutdown he caused—Donald Trump demolished the East Wing of the White House to make room for a $300 million ballroom for his megadonors. What a metaphor for everything he has done to tear dow…

Hegseth’s propaganda and far-right conspiracists

John — have you seen this? The most unqualified Defense Secretary ever basically forced the free press out of the Pentagon entirely because they wouldn’t agree to let him pre-approve their reporting. Even Fox News wouldn't sign Hegseth’s un-American pledge. So he replaced them all with fa…

Supporter record for John

John — here’s a surprising fact: Less than 1% of Tammy Duckworth supporters who read this email will make a donation today. We’re going to need to increase that number if we want to hit our fundraising goals this month. That’s why we pulled the records of our top supporters, and here's w…

I wish I didn’t have to ask

John, Tammy here. If you can afford it, can you chip in $5 to my campaign today? I wish I didn’t have to ask, but the reality is I won’t reach my fundraising goals without your help. I don’t take a dime in corporate PAC money. That means that my campaign is fueled by grassroots donations f…

Shutdown update for all Tammy Duckworth supporters:

Trump wants to call the GOP the “party of good health care.” Let’s review the last few months of his administration: FIRST: Republicans in Congress passed the largest cuts to Medicaid in history. Their Big Ugly Law upended health care to pay for billionaire tax cuts. THEN: Experts estima…

Is there anything we can say to convince you to make a $5 contribution to Tammy today?

Straight out of the dictator playbook

John, yesterday I visited multiple groups across Chicago. Every meeting affirmed my position: Trump’s aggressive immigration enforcement tactics and misuse of the military to intimidate American citizens in their own communities are dangerous and must be stopped. If you agree that the Tru…

Pete Hegseth degrades our nation’s military.

Chicago will not back down

Trump is federalizing the National Guard in Illinois against our will. One of the most patriotic things you can do in this nation isn’t necessarily serving in uniform; it’s exercising your First Amendment rights and speaking truth to power. John, that’s exactly what I’m going to ask you to …
