Donald Trump recently said, “We don’t just want to defend, we want to attack.” Now, he’s taking these comments a step further: [Forbes: President Donald Trump wants to rename DoD to the Department of War] This is reckless. It’s dangerous. And it means funneling even more of our tax dollars into bombing innocent people overseas while our schools crumble, our healthcare costs soar, and working people struggle to get by. We’re fighting for a different future. One where our government focuses on improving life for working people, not fueling an endless war machine. Trump’s “Department of War” means more innocent people bombed abroad, and more broken promises to people here at home. We cannot let that become America’s future. That’s why we’re asking: Can you chip in $10 today to elect Abdul and send a champion for peace, dignity, and working people to the U.S. Senate? [Donate $10 ››] Thank you, Team Abdul

BlackRock just sent a letter to state treasurers and financial officers, distancing itself from the responsibility of "politicizing" pensions, while accusing others of doing so. The reality is that their funds forced teachers, firefighters, and state workers to bankroll Donald Trump's failing, propagandistic media company, including Truth Social. [BlackRock: BlackRock's response letter to state and local financial officers] What BlackRock doesn't want you to focus on is that when Trump Media landed in the Russell 3000 index last year, their iShares funds automatically bought shares. This forced millions of people to become investors in Donald Trump with zero knowledge or consent. Aside from people being forced to financially back a dictator, Trump Media is bleeding hundreds of millions in losses. The company lost $401 million on just $3.6 million in revenue while paying Devin Nunes a $50M salary. That means Trump Media has lost approximately $111 for every dollar of revenue generated. And Trump controls 57% of the stock, so every forced purchase personally benefits him. In their letter, BlackRock insists they aren't "activist investors," yet they defend funneling workers' retirement savings into a bankrupt vanity project designed to amplify the authoritarian politics of a man who'd rather see himself king. This is why Dekleptocracy launched our letter-writing campaign last month to force governors and state legislators to act, protect pensions, and stop Wall Street from turning public employees into unwitting financiers of corruption. BlackRock's own defensive screed proves the pressure is working. Now it’s time to turn up the heat. Over 162,000 letters have been sent, and we can’t thank you enough. Send your own now — Protect public pensions: Tell states to divest from Truth Social and all of Trump's shady companies.

Donald Trump just rolled out the red carpet for Mohammed bin Salman at the White House. This is the man who ordered the torture and murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Jamal was killed for speaking the truth about the Saudi royal family. I know what it means to confront real brutality. As a young attorney, I helped track down and bring to justice the man who tortured and murdered Victor Jara in Chile. Victor was a folk singer who refused to be silenced under the Pinochet dictatorship. I have stood up to torturers and murderers before. I stood by the widow who spent half a lifetime fighting for justice. And I will do it again. These times call for tough leaders who have been tested the way I have been. In 2021, the CIA assessed that Prince bin Salman ordered Khashoggi’s murder. Yet again, Trump has chosen to side with another murderous anti-freedom right wing dictator instead of standing up for American values and basic human rights. But Trump went the extra mile for his Saudi business partner—claiming that Khashoggi was "extremely controversial” and, regarding Khashoggi’s murder, that “things happen.” [BBC: 'Things happen' - Trump defends Saudi crown prince over Khashoggi killing] I have taken on thugs like the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin-Salman. Men like MBS and Victor Jara’s murderer are cowards. They cover up their evil deeds with corruption, building alliances with other powerful and corrupt men who have their own evil deeds to cover up. This vicious cycle feeds on itself until justice is demanded by the people and by our leaders. Human rights is the foundation on which peaceful societies exist. Our rights and freedoms are non-negotiable. It is my life’s work to defend what makes America great: freedom, the rule of law, civil rights. And right now, these values are under attack like never before. I am running for Congress to fight for our rights and our democracy. That’s why MAGA is laser-focused on defeating me. Can I count on your support to fight back—and win? Thank you for your support. Christian Urrutia Democrat for NH-01

For weeks we have been rallying Democrats to the cause: Florida should be a top target for Democrats in 2026. Flipping the Florida Senate seat will flip control of the U.S. Senate to Dems. Now we’re turning up the heat and getting aggressive—and political insiders are taking notice. Our campaign to fire unelected Florida Senator Ashley Moody was just featured in POLITICO Playbook this morning: [politico: 11/19/2025 FIRST IN PLAYBOOK - Out of the Swamp PAC, a political action committee that launched in September in opposition to GOP Sen. ASHLEY MOODY, is out with its first five-figure digital ad buy that'll run through November. The ad aims to put the spotlight on high property insurance costs as Florida continues to be especially vulnerable to natural disasters. "It's hurricane season, and Floridians are drowning in the highest insurance rates in America," the ad says. "While our families struggle, Ashley Moody sided with Trump and the GOP to defund FEMA, the National Weather Service, and disaster aid." The ad comes as Moody is set to face her first Senate election in 2026. The ad is referring to ways the One Big Beautiful Bill Act cut NOAA forecasting funds, as well as Trump administration and DOGE workforce cuts.] We are making our first major investment in flipping the Senate and defeating MAGA Ashley Moody this Midterm.

Over the past few months Trump has welcomed just about every despotic totalitarian killer in the world for warm welcomes on American shores. First it was far-right Israeli mass killer Netanyahu. Then it Russia’s Putin. Last week it was *former* Al-Qaeda terrorist turned Syrian President Jolani (up until just a few months ago had a $10,000,000 State Dept. bounty on his head for personally beheading people, killing US soldiers, and waging a war against the US). This week, President Trump gave a warm welcome to another blood soaked dictator, Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman (MBS) who was visiting the United States from Monday to Wednesday night. [BBC: Trump defends Saudi crown prince over killing of journalist as they hold talks in Washington The crown prince also tells reporters in the oval office that Saudi Arabia will invest $1tn in the United States.] [NBC News: U.N. investigator 'shocked and angry' at Trump's defense of Saudi crown prince over Khashoggi murder] [Politico: Trump elevates Saudi Arabia to 'major non-NATO ally' status] Bin Salman became an international pariah after he ordered the brutal execution, butchering, and dismemberment of American journalist Jamal Khashoggi. MBS rules his country with an iron fist and allows for slave labor, horrible conditions for women, and a judicial system where people can be executed for one wrong word against the regime. And last year, a federal judge ruled that Saudi Arabia must face litigation for the role they played in aiding the 9/11 hijackers and orchestrating the attacks, denying them immunity and allowing victims' families to proceed with seeking damages. Unlike my opponent Lauren Boebert who refuses to condemn Saudi Arabia, has helped Trump obfuscate his business dealings there, and recently helped fellow Gulf State autocracy Qatar get an airbase on US soil, I am no friend to these dictators. During the height of the Arab Spring I was a reporter for Yahoo! News and met dozens of Saudi human rights activists like now imprisoned human rights lawyer Waleed Abulkhair, Wajeha al Huwaider, “the most dangerous woman in Saudi,” Samar Badawi, and Manal al-Sharif whom I helped with her autobiography, Daring to Drive, and thanked me in the credit section of the book. I was so moved by their stories that I founded Honk for Saudi Women, an international pressure campaign where people the world over “honked” and made noise to call out Saudi Arabia. It went viral and we got thousands of people including Nancy Pelosi, Roseann Barr, and Amy Poehler to honk in defiance of Saudi misogynist autocrats. I will never kowtow to dictators like Putin, Netanyahu, or MBS. I stand unflinchingly for human rights and dignity. Boebert idolizes these dictators and hopes to emulate their rule in America unless we defeat her. Can you make a monthly donation to our campaign to stop her before she turns America into the far-right theocracy she envisions? I refuse to let Trump Make America Saudi Arabia again.

Over 140 people were abducted during a raid in San Antonio this week — and one of our clients was taken as part of this controversial operation. What do we know? Federal agents in armored vehicles, with weapons and flash bang grenades, swarmed a San Antonio food truck park on Sunday evening. They held workers at gunpoint and executed a sweep that led to the arrest of dozens of people, including workers, teens, and babies. Only two people have been criminally charged, while the whereabouts and reason for detention of dozens of other people remain unknown days later. People deserve to live without fear of being wrongfully abducted and indefinitely imprisoned by our government. It’s in our Constitution, and it’s up to us to defend the right to due process. Give now to fuel our legal aid work >>> The young man who was abducted during this raid has been a client of RAICES for many years, starting when he was an unaccompanied child who came to the U.S. from Honduras. He had already been granted permission to remain in the US as an asylee and was progressing toward obtaining his green card, with a pending interview on the horizon. But officers did not care that he had a legal basis for being in the U.S. and sent him to a detention center in Texas, placing him in removal proceedings. We want to make this clear: There is no reason to place someone with lawful status in removal proceedings, especially when they have not been charged with a crime. In fact, this raid has raised questions about federal overreach, prompting Congress members Joaquin Castro and Greg Casar to send a letter to the Trump administration demanding full transparency for the American public. People are being indiscriminately targeted all over the country, often on the basis of race and nationality, and without a fair chance to fight to stay in the country they call home. Our legal advocacy is crucial now more than ever because this is a fight to secure that which is fundamentally American — the right to due process. Threats to the foundational principles of our country make everyone unsafe, regardless of immigration status, and an infringement on the rights of others threatens our own. Give now to protect due process for all by funding critical legal representation for people facing the threat of abduction and deportation >>> Yours in defense of due process, Faisal Al-Juburi (he/him/his) Chief External Affairs Officer RAICES

This Transgender Awareness Week, we celebrated, honored, and uplifted our trans community — but we also confronted a painful truth: it’s a frightening time for so many in our country. Today in America, trans people are targeted by hate that lives in laws and hearts. This year, more than 1,000 anti-trans bills have been introduced across the country. We’re seeing a continued rise in violent and dehumanizing rhetoric from elected officials. And earlier this year, Donald Trump banned trans service members from serving in our military again. It’s cruelty for cruelty’s sake, and it’s a reminder that progress isn’t always linear. But we must remain firm in our values and our vision in this moment – and, just as importantly, we should never give up on our ability to win over more people to more fully see our humanity and support our rights. It’s not always fair work, and it’s certainly not always easy work, but through the power of our proximity, we can still open the hearts and change the minds of imperfect or unlikely allies. Growing up, I never imagined that I would one day serve in public office — let alone Congress — as my authentic self. But last November, because of hundreds of thousands of voters and supporters in Delaware and across the country, we shattered the national lavender glass ceiling and proved that our democracy can be big enough for all of us. That’s what we celebrated this Trans Awareness Week. Our visibility in public life and stories of trans joy not only have the ability to inspire one another. They also have the capacity to push past the caricatures to invite more people in, to grow the tent of allies, to defeat the hateful attacks, and to lay the foundation for freedom and safety for trans people in every corner of our country and every part of our globe. And as the first trans member of Congress to be elected, the way I can guarantee I’m not the last is to quite simply be the best member of Congress that I can be. To continue to fight for what’s right and for those who need it most. And to show that trans people are multi-dimensional human beings. That’s exactly what I will continue to do — and I’m going to need your help every step of the way. Will you pitch in $5 to my campaign to keep my voice in Congress? Every donation is a signal of your support and helps me continue to defend our trans community in the halls of power. [Donate $5 »] In solidarity, Sarah McBride

my name is Darializa Avila Chevalier, and I'm the Justice Dems-endorsed candidate challenging Adriano Espaillat, AIPAC's handpicked candidate for New York's 13th Congressional District. As a community organizer, I never thought I would run for Congress. But like so many in my community and across our country, I’ve felt left behind by the establishment: that they don’t see us for who we are and what we need, but only show up when they need our votes.  And I know we deserve better. This fight is already personal for me. I was doxxed for my work standing up for human rights at Columbia University. And when Trump's paramilitary force kidnapped my friend and my fellow Columbia organizer Mahmoud Khalil, I knew that our mission had expanded beyond the scope of foreign policy and bled right into our streets. I spent months helping elect Zohran, and now I'm continuing the movement with this campaign. I hope you'll stand with me as we work to elect a Congressmember who will invest in working people here at home, not in funding genocide abroad.

My parents immigrated from Iran to Orlando. My mom worked at Kmart. My dad worked two jobs, with one being part-time at Disney World to make ends meet. So it’s pretty safe to say I’m not your typical candidate for office! I’m Anna V. Eskamani, Florida State House Democrat and candidate for mayor of Orlando! Growing up, I watched my parents fight for every single cent we had, and now I’m running for Mayor so that City Hall will fight for working class families like mine. Trump and DeSantis have made clear that they DON’T want me in this race. And their billionaires-first agenda has stacked the odds against people like me fighting for Orlando… but I’ve been defying the odds my whole life. But, because I rely on grassroots fundraising, the odds are even more stacked against me. So I have to ask: If you believe that mayors should fight for working class people, will you donate to my campaign so that I can defy the odds and fight like hell for regular people, NOT Ron DeSantis’ mega donors? >> https://secure.actblue.com/donate/ae-ga-txt?refcode=ae-txt-20251122-b&refcode2w=lpcvZz

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 is Jason Knapp. After 21 years as a Naval Officer and combat F/A-18 pilot, I learned what sacrifice means and what real service requires. 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. That means this is one of the BEST opportunties in the country to flip a seat from Red to Blue. Will you contribute today to help us launch strong?

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. Women’s March is launching billboards, digital ads, and a public pressure blitz to make sure Trump cannot hide behind this tactic. If you haven’t already, can you chip in $25 to help us get these billboards and ads everywhere? [Chip in] Survivors deserve the full truth, not another political cover-up. — Women’s March

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. Help us grow our bloc of Justice Democrats in Congress and strengthen the movement to kick AIPAC out of the Democratic Party: pitch in $5 or whatever you can to fuel our fight before Sunday’s end-of-month deadline.

Split a contribution between Christian Urrutia and Ro Khanna:

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. Together, we can reshape the political landscape in ways Washington still doesn’t understand. [CONTRIBUTE] Thank you for your activism and all that you do. In solidarity, Ro Khanna

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. It’s time to get justice for survivors and the full truth for the American people. In solidarity, Pramila Jayapal

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. When they're this brazen, we need to be this relentless. Help us follow every dollar. Thank you, Kristofer Harrison President, Dekleptocracy Alliance

being a congressional candidate brings a lot of… unique?... experiences. Including on Sunday, when a Republican candidate, desperate for attention, brought me a "gift bag" of things I'll need in prison, like cat food, "holy water", and Trump-branded perfume. I mean, at least they got their attention from the only voice that matters in MAGA politics: [Libs of TickTok: Republican candidate for Congress in Illinois Rocio Cleveland presents Democrat candidate Kat Abughazaleh a gift bag with items she will need in prison and Trump merch🤣🤣 Kat is currently facing federal charges for impeding ICE. Epic troll] What an epic troll!!!!!!! This was my only reaction: [Are you okay?] This stuff doesn't even confuse me anymore: The far-right thrives on cruelty and weirdness. It's vapid and mean and that's the point. They don't have a positive vision. They're not running on policy. It's just a very specific revenge fantasy, and the victim is the American people. So yeah, I could see how someone with that mentality believes that only a demon would have a bold progressive vision to bring real change to this country to help out working people. Weird stuff like this keeps happening to me because the far right isn't scared of my establishment opponents. They're going after the frontrunner, and they're terrified of a real grassroots progressive. Let's scare them even further: join my team with a $6.66 contribution today >> In solidarity, Kat Abughazaleh

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. The President’s agenda is deeply unpopular, and he knows it. That’s why he’s trying so hard to dismantle democracy and silence his opponents. But we won’t let him succeed, will we? Let’s fight together to ensure every voice is heard, every vote counts, and our democracy prevails. Onward, Jocelyn
