When it comes to campaigning, our motto has always been to focus on our record, and not give any extreme right-wing opponents any free publicity. But even if we don’t talk about them much, the reality is we have to take our Republican challengers seriously. In 2020, Alexandria was in the second most expensive House race in the country. Her challenger raised and spent more than $10 million against her. And even when our challengers don’t win, the disinformation they sow can discredit our movement if we don’t fight back. But we have a MAGA challenger for November, and she's fundraising. We’re now asking if you will contribute $5 today to support Alexandria and ensure we have the resources to win next year? When thousands of people give what they can, it shows the power of this movement. Here are a few facts about our opponent: She paid George Santos a lot of money to consult on the 2022 election. She paid George Santos’ consulting firm $110,320 and hers was the only campaign to ever report working with the firm. Her campaign may have been part of a scam run by George Santos. A donor who gave to Santos had their credit card charged for additional, unauthorized donations — including two maxed-out $2,900 contributions to her campaign. She participated in the January 6 Insurrection rally. She is associated with the white supremacist Proud Boys and proudly posted a photo of herself with their leaders. We know that communities in The Bronx, Queens, and across the country support our message and want AOC to stay in Congress – but we need to show it by making sure Alexandria wins again by a considerable margin. Can you chip in $5 or whatever you can today? Every dollar helps us reach more voters to ensure that we have the resources to reach voters all across New York’s 14th district so Alexandria wins by a HUGE margin next year. Together we can keep winning and send Alexandria back to Congress for another term to keep fighting for social, economic, racial, and environmental justice for all. Thank you for being with us, Team AOC

Donald Trump just extended the National Guard’s deployment in D.C. through at least the end of February. And now officials are signaling troops could stay through next summer. That would be a full year of military occupation in a city home to more than 700,000 Americans. [The Washington Post: DC National Guard deployment in the nation's capital ordered by Trump is extended to Feb. 28] Let’s make something clear: This was never about public safety. Violent crime in D.C. was at a 30-year low when Trump originally sent the troops in. This is about control, intimidating Black and Brown communities, and a wannabe dictator flexing his authoritarian power. And it’s doing real harm to D.C. residents who are avoiding public spaces. Local businesses are losing customers, immigrant communities are afraid to leave their homes or go to work, and families are keeping kids home from school. Meanwhile, Trump’s deployment has cost taxpayers more than $250 million. A fraction of that could’ve funded community safety programs, violence interruption, or mental health care. This is how authoritarianism takes root. Trump has already proven he can deploy armed troops into American cities to punish dissent, push his political agenda, and intimidate the communities that dare to oppose him. So what’s next? Troops at polling places? Military crackdowns in every city that votes blue? We cannot let this continue to escalate and become our new normal. Pramila is fighting back by speaking out in Congress and organizing nonviolent resistance across the country — but she can’t do it without your grassroots support. And with Trump threatening to send troops to even more cities with Democratic leadership, now is not the time to back down. If you’re ready to power the work Pramila is doing to build the resistance and defend our democracy, will you chip in $3 to power her campaign today? [Contribute $3] Thank you for being with us in this fight. In solidarity, Team Pramila

Earlier this week, six Democrats all of whom are former military or intelligence officers, including Colorado Congressman Jason Crow, appeared in a video urging military members to disobey illegal and unconstitutional orders. In response Trump took to Truth Social and stated that they “were guilty of ‘SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!’” [Democracy Docket: Trump calls for executing Democrats over message to military In a feverish flurry of social media posts and reposts Thursday morning, President Donald Trump expressed support for imprisoning and...] Less than an hour after Trump’s call to execute these Democrats, it was announced that the Coast Guard, which operates under the Department of Homeland Security, would no longer classify the swastika as a hate symbol. Besides Trump, responsibility for this dark moment rests with Lauren Boebert. She once tweeted “I am the militia,” vowed to bring a gun to work in Congress, lead insurrectionists on reconnaissance tours of the Capitol prior to January 6th and during the Capitol riot she tweeted the location of the US Speaker to the bloodthirsty mob. She supports the notion that MAGA has a divine right for fascist rule and last year she called for the creation of a Taliban-like “holy army” to “save Colorado from the left.” MAGA has already arrested members of the Congress and the Senate. How long until they kill one of them. If Boebert stays in office for another term and retains the pulpit she uses to call for violence, we could soon find out. Boebert is in Congress because of 546 votes. In 2024 when labor leader Trisha Calvarese and Lauren Boebert faced off, Trisha had the best performance a Democrat has ever had in this district, overperforming Kamala Harris by 6 pts whereas Boebert massively underperformed Trump in every county. Boebert is beyond vulnerable and Trisha is back to finish the job. We have a narrow window to stop Boebert and MAGA before they can usher in their darkest fantasies like executing Democratic members of Congress. Please can you rush a donation of $50, $25, or even $5 to help Trisha beat Boebert, flip this seat, and take back the House? We can’t let them shock us into submission. Now is the time to fight.

Y'all, a new poll just dropped, and let me tell you: It's not pretty for Donald. [DAILY BEAST: Damning poll reveals sharp rise in Republican opposition to Trump] You know things are BAD when even Donald Trump’s own voters are looking around and don’t like what they see. Even MAGA loyalists can see that Trump has taken this country through the longest government shutdown in American history, trampled on our Constitution, destroyed our economy with his ridiculous tariffs, and so much more. All the while, Trump has spent all his time pointing fingers and throwing tantrums. Now, less than a year into this disastrous administration, nobody’s buying it. Not the public, not the pollsters, not even the Republican base. Moments like these are our opportunity to win back power, and we can’t let them go to waste. When Trump’s grip loosens, when his lies stop landing, when even his base starts questioning him — that’s when our pushback matters the most. And that’s why I need your support right now. While Trump and his allies are flailing, they’re going to come after Democrats with uglier attacks and bigger lies to cover up their failures. That includes me — especially me — because I’m one of the loudest voices calling out their chaos for what it is. Your contribution today helps me keep telling the truth even when they don’t want to hear it. This poll is a warning for them — and an opening for us. Let’s take it. Thank you, Jasmine Crockett

Yesterday, Lauren Boebert reminded the entire country exactly who she is. Before the House vote to release the Epstein files, she ran to MAGA extremist Benny Johnson’s podcast to push a wild conspiracy theory, claiming Donald Trump was actually an FBI informant who “blew the whistle” on Epstein. And she didn’t stop there. She echoed Trump’s calls to launch an investigation into Epstein's ties to Democrats—a move that would conveniently open the door for the Trump admin to refuse releasing files that would implicate Trump under the pretense of an “on-going investigation.” [Ron Smith: Lauren Boebert says Donald Trump was a "whistleblower against Jeffery Epstein" and "he was the one who was going to expose Jeffery Epstein" It's truly a cult!] So much for all that glowing media coverage last week about Beobert’s “courage” for “standing up to Trump.” She got summoned to the White House Situation Room, refused to remove her name from the discharge petition only to carry along with MAGA’s desperate “transparency” ruse, and then strutted around acting like some kind of renegade Maverick. [Rep. Lauren Boebert: I want to thank White House officials for meeting with me today. Together, we remain committed to ensuring transparency for the American people] But her appearance on Benny Johnson’s show gave the whole game away: Boebert is still a loyal foot soldier for Trump, doing everything she can to dull the truth, spread disinformation, and run interference for him. She’s terrified of crossing him, terrified of losing her grip on power, and terrified that the voters of CO-4 can see straight through her. And they do. CO-4 voters know her “independence” act is a fraud. They know she chases headlines, not results. And that’s why Boebert is more vulnerable than she has ever been. She’s only in Congress because of just 546 voters. And when labor leader, public servant, and Democrat Trisha Calvarese ran against her in 2024, our campaign delivered the best performance a Democrat had ever had in the district—outperfoming Kamala Harris by 6 points. Trisha is the only candidate with the momentum, credibility, and grassroots power to retire Lauren Boebert once and for all. If you’re as fed up as we are with Boebert’s lying, chaos, spinelessness, and relentless Trump-worship, then we need you in this fight. Will you chip in $50, $25, or whatever you can to help Trisha defeat Boebert? Let’s end the lies, end the cowardice, and end Lauren Boebert’s career for good. Team Trisha

Out-of-touch incumbent Rep. Steve Cohen has become so used to having his seat in Congress handed to him that for the longest time, he didn’t bother to post on his social media accounts, host events, or do much meaningful community outreach in Tennessee’s 9th district. Now that he’s being challenged by Justice Democrats-endorsed, working-class, progressive State Rep. Justin J. Pearson, he’s going on the defensive. On a podcast this week, Cohen compared Justin’s announcement to run against him to Pearl Harbor… yikes. [The Tennessee Holler: COHEN ON PEARSON: "He's not ready... He interned for me. He never talked to me about running - it was kind of like Pearl Harbor." 76yo @RepCohen talks to ex TNDP chair Hendrell Remus about being challenged by Rep. @Justinjpearson in TN-9 (MEMPHIS) Full: youtu.be/RZJeXQnDeh0] You read that right. Steve Cohen thinks people-powered primaries against entrenched incumbents are equivalent to PEARL HARBOR. Before his seat was at risk, Cohen previously raved about Justin’s leadership, stating, “Justin is for people. He showed it with the fight to beat the pipeline. He did it by organizing people and beating the big oil companies…His experience, his knowledge, and his understanding of human beings is so far beyond his years.” Now, as entrenched politicians often do, he has a different tune because he cares more about his seat than his constituents. He even said he opposes term limits of any kind. Cohen may have been in public office for more than 40 years, but he’s failing to meet the moment, deliver for his district, and defend Nashville from Trump’s fascist attacks. Justin has the lived experience, public service, and organizing chops to fight harder and achieve better for working families in TN-09. It’s time for Cohen to pass the torch to the next generation — if he’s unwilling to do so, then the people will make that decision for him at the ballot box come primary election day! But as a multimillionaire with corporate connections, Cohen has a war chest of resources to use against Justin’s grassroots campaign. Can you split a contribution of $5 or more to Justin and Justice Democrats so we can take Cohen on and WIN?

It means putting people first, ensuring everyone has a voice, and never leaving anyone behind. I am running for Congress because the system here in VA-01 is failing working families. There is nothing patriotic about families and veterans in need going hungry while billionaires profit. Real patriotism means every family can afford groceries, health care, and a home. We must deliver service-focused leadership, stand with our veterans, strengthen our local economy, and defend our democracy. Your support helps establish the momentum we need to carry this mission forward and flip VA-01. My district is held by a Republican incumbent, but Democrats won it in 2025 in our statewide elections.

Within hours of the House passing the Epstein Files Transparency Act, thousands of you emailed and called. The Senate moved immediately and passed it with zero objections. That was you. Your pressure. Your power. Now the bill is on Trump’s desk. And within minutes, Attorney General Pam Bondi launched a new DOJ “investigation” at Trump’s request — the exact loophole we warned about. An active investigation can delay or block key files, especially anything that puts Trump or his allies in the spotlight. The stall has already begun. So we’re escalating.

AIPAC’s favorite House Democrat, Rep. Ritchie Torres, is personally profiting from Israel’s genocide in Gaza, which he is directly enabling in Congress. [Torres invested in weapons makers as he backed billions in arms for Israel The Congressman's office tells Sludge the defense contractor stocks were bought by an independent manager and that he will no longer be buying individual corporate stocks.] A new report from Sludge reveals Torres invested in Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and L3Harris — three of the largest U.S. weapons manufacturers supplying weapons and bombs to the Israeli military. He made the investments last September, failing to report them within the 45-day period required by law. Both before and after Torres added these defense contractors to his investment portfolio, he led the charge for supplying billions of dollars in U.S. arms transfers to Israel, including the $17 billion arms package passed in April 2024. Not only that, but Torres insisted there be no interruption to the flow of weapons to Israel, even after it was clear the Israeli government was committing war crimes against Palestinians. He even opposed President Biden’s short pause in 2,000-pound bomb shipments, joining Republicans in an attempt to override him. Ritchie Torres is exactly what’s wrong with the Democratic Party. He’s a corrupt, corporate Democrat-in-name-only who not only prioritizes the Israel lobby’s interests over his constituents in exchange for $1.57 million in campaign checks, but he is also using this horrific genocide to pad his personal portfolio. This is why we need fewer Democrats like Torres and more working-class progressive leaders who reject AIPAC and fight for the human rights of ALL people.

secure.actblue.com/donate/urrut...
I’m going to say something blunt: for the first time ever, we have split the MAGA base, and we did it by doing what Democrats have refused to do for years. Up to 40 MAGA Republicans are ready to support my Khanna Epstein Transparency Act, even though Donald Trump publicly told them not to. Some are prepared to lose his endorsement over it. This didn’t happen by accident. It happened because I’ve spent months: - going on MAGA-aligned podcasts - holding town halls in deep-red districts - building personal relationships across the aisle, like those with Rep. Massie and even MTG - treating MAGA voters with respect — not mockery - making the case for transparency and economic patriotism Washington didn’t believe this strategy would work. But it’s working. It’s the most consequential crack in the MAGA coalition in nearly a decade – since Trump came down his golden escalator and announced his candidacy for President. And if we can break Trump’s coalition on transparency and a government for the people, not the rich, powerful, and well-connected, we can break it on other issues too and build a broad, durable, cross-partisan governing majority. But I need your help to keep showing up where Democrats never go. Will you rush a split $25 to my campaign and Christian Urrutia to help us keep going on conservative podcasts, holding town halls in Republican districts, and building the coalition we need to defeat extremism? We don’t take lobbyist money. We don’t take corporate money. Our campaigns are powered entirely by grassroots supporters like you. Your contribution funds: - Travel and event logistics to reach communities that beltway insiders ignore. - Promotion and organizing to bring new people into the movement. - Security and operations so we can keep doing this safely and sustainably.

Today I spoke on the House floor ahead of the vote to compel the Justice Department to release the Epstein Files, and my message was simple: Release all the damn files. Now. Thousands of girls were abused by Jeffrey Epstein and his massive and powerful ring of pedophiles and protectors of pedophiles. They carried a burden that they never should have had to bear. The least we can do is answer their call to justice by voting to release the files — and that’s exactly what we did today, despite all the cover-up attempts by the Trump administration and the Speaker of the House. With this vote, we’ve made it clear that there is no protection for pedophiles, and no protection for the rich and powerful men of either party who participated or turned a blind eye to the horrific abuses of young children.

BREAKING: This afternoon in the Oval Office, President Trump defended the man who ordered Jamal Khashoggi's murder. When asked about the Washington Post journalist's killing, Trump said: "Things happen, but he knew nothing about it." What are "things" that "happen?” Jamal Khashoggi, an American resident, disappeared on October 2, 2018, after entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul to obtain documents for his upcoming marriage. A recording obtained by Turkish intelligence captured his struggle against Saudi agents, his killing, and the sounds of a bone saw being used on his body. U.S. intelligence determined that Mohammed bin Salman ordered the operation. MBS has denied involvement. Eight people were imprisoned. He was not. When a reporter asked MBS about that intelligence finding today, Trump interjected: "You don't have to embarrass our guest by asking something like that." This morning, Trump gave MBS a hero's welcome: F-35 and F-16 fighters roaring overhead, cannons firing, a Marine band, officers on horseback carrying Saudi and American flags, red carpet across the South Lawn. U.S will sell Saudi Arabia advanced F-35 fighter jets, Trump says While the only moral response is utter outrage, let’s also follow the money… Announced today: Dar Global, a Saudi luxury real estate developer and one of The Trump Organization's main overseas partners, wants to sell crypto assets to U.S. retail investors to fund 70% of Trump's latest hotel in the Maldives. It's worth noting: The Maldives is a money-laundering hotspot. Let that sink in. On the same day MBS visits the White House to get F-35s and nuclear technology, Trump is helping a Saudi company with a crypto scam on Americans to fund a Trump hotel. [HELP US FOLLOW THE MONEY] Dar Global is London-listed but Saudi-born. They have seven projects under development with The Trump Organization: an 80-story tower in Dubai, a golf resort in Qatar, hotels and high-end homes across Saudi Arabia and Oman. They announced this "world's first tokenized hotel" on Monday, just 24 hours before MBS walked into the Oval Office. This is what corruption looks like. That’s not all: Want to know what $2 billion buys you in Trump's Washington? In 2021, just months after leaving the White House, Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, received a $2 billion investment from Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund (chaired by MBS) for his private equity firm Affinity Partners. The fund's own advisors questioned the wisdom of the investment. MBS overruled them. Now Trump is back in office, and the deals are flowing in both directions: Saudi Arabia gets: F-35 stealth fighters, a defense pact, a lavish White House ceremony, and the President of the United States dismissing a gruesome murder as "things happen." Trump gets: A Saudi partner selling crypto tokens to Americans for his hotels, a $1 trillion investment announcement to tout on TV, and the continuing relationship that's making his family millions. America gets: A sullied reputation, our most advanced military technology sold to a country with security partnerships with China (the Pentagon has already expressed concern) and a murdered journalist dismissed as "extremely controversial." [HELP DEKLEPTOCRACY INVESTIGATE] In the Oval Office today, Trump called MBS an "extremely respected man" and praised his "commendable" human rights record. The State Department's 2024 report on Saudi Arabia documents: arbitrary and unlawful killings, disappearances, torture, serious restrictions on freedom of expression and religious freedom. This is the textbook definition of kleptocracy: public policy for private profit, and it’s happening in real time. The Trump-Kushner-Saudi connection is out in the open: Morning: Military flyover, F-35 announcement Afternoon: "$1 trillion" investment claim, Oval Office photo op, "things happen" Same day: Saudi developer announces crypto token sale to Americans for Trump hotel Tonight: Black-tie White House dinner Tomorrow: Trump and MBS travel together to a business investment conference Chip in today and help us expose the corruption they're not even bothering to hide anymore.

I won’t let wannabe dictators silence your voice. Not now, not ever. In Michigan we have very clear rules around who draws our districts. It’s the citizens of our state — because we voted to amend our constitution to put power in the hands of the people, not politicians. All of this back and forth about redistricting and voting by mail shows that we have a president willing to attack the law and our own democracy. Why is he so desperate to change the rules of the game? He’s scared. Scared of the power of the voters who have seen their grocery bills skyrocket, who can’t afford to buy a home or heat that home, who are facing higher taxes and cuts to health care. He doesn’t want to face voters in fair districts with fair voting rules, so he’s instead trying to rig the election and make it harder for you all — the American voter — to hold him accountable in 2026 and beyond. I won’t stand for it. And neither should you. We’re going to protect democracy and protect the voice and power of every Michigander and every American. I will be a governor who will fight to protect our rights, our freedoms, and our democracy in the face of Trump’s authoritarianism — just as I’ve done as Secretary of State. But I need your help too.

With Governor Tony Evers announcing he won’t run for re-election, Wisconsin’s political future is more uncertain than it’s been in years. Whoever is elected governor will wield enormous power over our state. If that power is abused, the Wisconsin Supreme Court will be one of the only checks left. That’s why this race matters so much. The Wisconsin Supreme Court will decide whether our state remains fair, impartial, and committed to protecting the rights and freedoms of all Wisconsinites — or whether it becomes a rubber stamp for extreme special interests. Chris Taylor has spent her career fighting for the people, protecting constitutional freedoms, and making sure everyone is heard and respected in our legal system. She’s ready to bring these values to our state’s highest court, but she can’t win this race without your support.

President Bone Spurs will do anything to get out of walking. Including spouting off a bunch of lies about public safety in Maryland on Truth Social. [Donald J. Trump: Governor Wes Moore of Maryland has asked, in a rather nasty and provocative tone, that I "walk the streets of Maryland" with him. I assume he is talking about out of control, crime ridden, Baltimore? As President, I would much prefer that he clean up this Crime disaster before I go there for a "walk." Wes Moore's record on Crime is a very bad one, unless he fudges his figures on crime like many of the other "Blue States" are doing. But if Wes Moore needs help, like Gavin Newscum did in L.A., I will send in the "troops," which is being done in nearby DC, and quickly clean up the Crime. After only one week, there is NO CRIME AND NO MURDER IN DC! When it is like that in Baltimore, I will proudly "walk the streets" with the failing, because of Crime, Governor of Maryland. P.S Baltimore is ranked the 4th WORST CITY IN THE NATION IN CRIME & MURDER. Stop talking and get to work, Wes. I'll then see you on the streets !!! Also, I gave Wes Moore a lot of money to fix his demolished bridge. I will now have to rethink that decision ??? Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DJT] This is a bunch of hooey. Since taking office, we’ve made major investments in local law enforcement, crime prevention and reduction, and more. And we’ve seen some of the most significant drops in homicides and non-fatal shootings in America. If the President is unwilling to walk the streets of Baltimore to see our successes first hand, we’re even willing to get him a golf cart to make things easier.

Help provide 3,600 meals at the White Center Food Bank:

secure.actblue.com/donate/pj-em...
Pramila here with a quick but important update on our partnership with White Center Food Bank, where I had the chance to volunteer this week and see firsthand the impact your support is making. Just days ago, we surpassed our original goal and set a new one — to raise $9,000 and provide 3,600 meals for families in need before Thanksgiving. And as always, this team showed up. We’ve now raised more than $6,400 for the White Center Food Bank, enough to provide over 2,500 meals to families in need. But our work isn’t done yet. Food banks here in Seattle and across the country are still overwhelmed. And even if the shutdown ends tonight, Republicans have slashed long-term SNAP funding. The need won’t disappear — and neither can we. That’s why we need one last push from this team to raise the final $2,600 needed to hit our $9,000 goal and provide 3,600 meals before Thanksgiving. Will you chip in right now to help us get there? Every dollar you donate to this email will be used to fund meals at the White Center Food Bank here in Seattle. [Contribute] This is what our movement is about: showing up with compassion and urgency when our government fails to. While Trump and MAGA Republicans continue to play games with people’s lives, you are helping deliver something real in the face of cruelty and abandonment — nourishment, dignity, and hope. For families facing hunger, each meal represents one less thing to worry about, one more day with food on the table, and a little more security in a time of deep uncertainty. That’s the difference your support is making. So thank you for being a part of this work and helping us meet this moment. Again and again, you remind me why I believe so deeply in people-powered change — and in the truth that compassion and community are stronger than cruelty and indifference. In solidarity, Pramila Jayapal

At least 20 people have died in ICE custody under the Trump regime in 2025. It’s the deadliest year for ICE prisons in over two decades. One of the worst is in Broadview, IL. A new lawsuit describes horrific conditions at the Broadview prison: “There is blood, other bodily fluids, and hair in the sinks and on the walls.” Hundreds of people are pushed into cells “like a pile of fish” and “treated worse than animals.” Trump’s violent “Operation Midway Blitz” invasion in Chicago is rounding up families and neighbors by the hundreds and throwing them into unsafe conditions at the Broadview detention center. We’re demanding an immediate Congressional investigation into the horrific, inhuman conditions at Trump’s ICE prisons from Broadview to Alligator Alcatraz. Will you make a donation to help support our work, including our efforts to investigate and close deadly ICE prisons? The Broadview, IL prison is just one part of a nationwide network of extrajudicial blacksites and torture centers. The Trump admin’s abuses at the notorious Alligator Alcatraz are shocking. Excessive heat, unlivable sanitation conditions, 30+ people in a cage with 3 toilets, some inoperable, with drinking spigots connected to toilet tanks. After observing the conditions at Alligator Alcatraz, Rep. Maxwell Frost said, “What I saw made my heart sink.” Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz called it an “internment camp.” The Miami Herald reported that ICE has disappeared over 1,000 people taken into custody at Alligator Alcatraz. Families are panicked and lawyers don’t know where the detainees are. Senator Jon Ossoff documented hundreds of human rights abuses at ICE prisons nationwide, including pregnant women sleeping on floors in overcrowded intake cells and children denied medical attention. Together with Sen. Raphael Warnock, he has pressed the administration about the alarming rate of deaths and abuse at ICE prisons. As Trump deploys greater numbers of violent, masked ICE gangs to take more people into custody, we need our elected leaders to launch a full-blown investigation into ICE prisons and end these abuses NOW. We’ve mobilized tens of thousands of people to demand an investigation into the horrific conditions at ICE prisons, and we need to ramp up this effort immediately. Will you donate today to support our work, including our fight to shut down Alligator Alcatraz and ICE’s network of torture prisons? With gratitude, The team at Demand Progress Action

Support Ilhan:

[Ilhan Omar: Unlike you, I can read and that's why I know what the Constitution says.] [The Bulwark: Trump on Ilhan Omar: "I look at somebody who comes from Somalia ... and she comes in and tells us how to run our country. 'The Constitution says this, the Constitution says that.' The whole thing is crazy."] Trump is completely out of ideas, so now he’s attacking me for knowing what it says in the Constitution. Really! Well, since Trump doesn’t seem to understand, here are some of the ways he has violated the Constitution since January: - He illegally slashed funding for lifesaving programs and defunded entire federal agencies without Congressional approval - He has blatantly ignored federal court orders in complete disregard for the separation of powers - He allowed ICE to suspend the Fifth Amendment right of due process and deport people without trial - He violated the First Amendment by detaining college students for exercising free speech and criticizing Israel - He trampled on the freedom of the press by using the power of his government to punish news outlets and journalists who disagreed with him - He bombs other countries and wages war without Congressional approval in violation of the War Powers Clause - He uses fake “emergencies” to federalize the National Guard and occupy American cities - He constantly threatens to deport me despite being a US citizen Trump’s presidency is one long Constitutional crisis. And the Republican Party that controls both Congress and the Supreme Court has happily allowed him to grow his power and act like a dictator. But look, last week’s elections proved that Trump is now weaker than ever. Working-class voters have turned on him. He is a failure. We have an opportunity in the upcoming midterms to take back control of Congress and pull the emergency brake on this dumpster fire of a presidency. That starts with winning our race here in Minnesota’s 5th and sending our progressive movement back to Washington to hold Trump accountable. So, if you’re with me on this: Make a contribution to my campaign and help me continue to fight back against this wannabe dictator and the entire far-right that enables him. We can’t let our democracy go by the wayside if we are to undo the damage of his extreme, billionaire-first agenda.

Donate to Jocelyn Benson for Governor:

secure.actblue.com/donate/jmb-e...
We have some urgent news about Jocelyn’s race for governor: Michigan Republicans want Trump and his cronies to get involved in Michigan’s elections. [Jocelyn Benson: Our elections are some of the safest and most secure in the country because the clerks, poll workers, and volunteers -- who represent the entire political spectrum -- ensure the voices and the votes of the people are heard and upheld. Suggesting anything else is a reckless attempt to distract from the real issues facing people of Michigan: making sure they can afford to live and thrive in Michigan.] hese are the people who tried to undermine and overturn previous election results, spread dangerous conspiracy theories, and threaten election officials like Jocelyn. Jocelyn is fighting back — because she will ALWAYS stand up for our democracy. Rush in a contribution to show you’re with her → Let’s run through what Michigan Republicans are trying to pull off: → They want the Justice Department, full of Trump’s handpicked personal attorneys, to take over Michigan’s elections. This comes days after Trump pardoned the people who tried to overturn the 2020 election. → Republicans like John James and Mike Rogers are continuing to spread conspiracy theories about Michigan’s election results — because they’re upset they lost their own races. → Now, they want AG Pam Bondi and her fellow far-right Republicans to intimidate Michiganders in next year’s election to try and stop us from having a voice. The stakes are too high to let this happen, Zayn. We need to respond to the GOP’s dangerous lies and fight for our democracy. That’s exactly what Jocelyn Benson will do. Rush in a contribution to help her fight back and stand up to the GOP’s election interference. Jocelyn will always stand up for free and fair elections. That’s who we need as our next governor. More soon, Team Benson

Support Abdul:

secure.actblue.com/donate/em-ms...
Hey friends, Abdul here. Republican Mike Rogers just launched his first digital ad in Michigan’s battleground Senate race. There’s a lot to unpack here. Let’s start with the creepy actor family that looks like they were forced to sit upright on a couch by Mike Rogers’ video team… And then there’s the lovely shots of me where I look like Storm from X-Men, ushering a storm cloud into the Capitol building… I found the ad very interesting. Because what does Mike Rogers choose to start his campaign with? A defense of his disastrous support for the extremely unpopular Big Ugly Bill that Trump signed into law. As a reminder, this is the bill that: Cut healthcare for 15 million, and Medicare by $500 billion Added $4 trillion to the deficit Eliminated 760,000 manufacturing and energy jobs Could force as many as 300 rural hospitals to close They did all that to give trillions of dollars in tax breaks to billionaires. Mike Rogers knows this was really unpopular. He wants to cover himself by running dishonest ads saying I want to “raise your taxes.” And if we don’t have a strong counter-message in this election, Mike Rogers will walk right into the U.S. Senate and vote for even more giveaways to billionaires. I don’t think we can win this critical Senate seat by just banking on voters turning out for a “blue no matter who” candidate that stands for nothing. We win this Senate seat by driving historic turnout and excitement around a very simple message that cuts through all the lies: Money OUT of politics Money IN your pocket Medicare for ALL I’m the only Democrat in this primary driving that message home. If people like you, reading emails like this, decide to make a donation or sign up to volunteer, we can bring that message to the general election and win. If not, we lose. And there’s a chance that Republicans keep this Senate seat in a close election. will you please donate $10 today to ensure Democrats have a clear message heading into Michigan’s critical Senate race? Whether you can donate that amount, or more or less, doesn’t particularly matter to me right now. What matters is that we have maximum participation in our campaign. Some people will be able to give more, and I’m grateful for that. Some people can only chip in a few bucks, and I’m grateful for that, too. Some people can’t give at all, but can spend a few hours volunteering. Each of us is going to have to do what we’re capable of to win this race. The stakes are very, very high. If we don’t win the primary, and Democrats push out yet another candidate with a muddled message, it’s not just our campaign that’s in trouble. It’s our country. Because Mike Rogers is a lot of things… but he’s someone we’d be foolish to underestimate. His folks will run ads like this one relentlessly, lying about his record and trying to confuse voters about the Democrats. Only the Democrat with a clear message can win. Money OUT of politics Money IN your pocket Medicare for ALL If you’re with us, please let me know right now. Give $10 or whatever you can to this email to say, “Yes, a clear message wins in 2026.” Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you’ve done so far. In solidarity, Abdul

Donate to protect Jon Ossoff’s critical Senate seat:

secure.actblue.com/donate/ossof...
We told you that MAGA would use every lie and dirty trick in the book to try to replace Jon with a far-right loyalist who will just do whatever Trump says. Well, here’s Exhibit A: [POLITICS: Jon Ossoff warned about deepfakes.Now he is one. Mike Collins' campaign uses AI to create fake video of Ossoff with fabricated comments about his shutdown vote. Post: Mike Collins War Room: Chuck Shumer thinks shutting down the government is a good idea, and Jon Ossoff can never say NO to his boss or far-left donors.] U.S. Rep. Mike Collins' Senate campaign used Sen. Jon Ossoff's Senate portrait (center) to create an Al-generated video of Ossoff talking about his vote not to end the government shutdown. The video was reposted to Collins' campaign account on X (left). (Screenshot) Jon’s MAGA opponent created an AI deepfake of Jon with fake information and words he never said. We’ll explain more in a moment, but first: Can you chip in $5 to help Jon fight back and set the record straight? This is what we’re up against. They know that they can’t attack Jon on his record, so they resort to literally making things up and hoping people don’t realize it’s fake. It’s pathetic and creepy. MAGA is stooping to these depths because they view Jon Ossoff as a threat. They want him defeated and gone and replaced with a far-right lackey who will not only allow but actually support Trump’s corruption. That’s why they’ve already spent $10 MILLION on this race alone, and it’s why they’re resorting to lies and deception like this fake video. We can fight back and win, just like we did in 2021. But Jon can’t do it alone. Will you please make a donation to Jon’s reelection campaign today? Even $5 or $10 will go a long way toward helping us fight back against this AI deepfake and set the record straight.
