John, this moment of unity is truly inspiring. But we cannot forget what’s at stake with this election. We are fighting for our democracy.

they’re ready

No matter what we do, we cannot let a Republican back into the White House, John. Their de facto platform, Project 2025, is a warning of what we can expect if Trump wins.Everything you can think of—truly everything—is on the line here.

John, if we’ve learned anything in the past month, it's that we can’t count on the Supreme Court to save us.

what another Trump presidency looks like

what Trump said

At a rally in Las Vegas, Donald Trump told his supporters that he doesn’t care about them and that he just wants their vote.   Finally… some honesty.  Donald Trump has never cared about American working families.
