Hi Jason, We'll keep this brief: In less than 60 seconds, we're going to ask you to make a donation to the DNC.  Not tomorrow, not next week, but today. Here's the deal: The midterms are approaching quickly. The only way we can bring Trump's agenda to a grinding halt is by taking back Congress. But, to do it, we'll need a huge sum of resources to scale up our voter outreach efforts. Your contribution today will help us: - Register thousands of Democratic voters across the country.
- Support local and state parties by moving resources where they're needed, and when they're needed most.
The earlier we're able to make these strategic investments, the better our odds of reclaiming Congress this year.

  | Jason, Today, we are going to ask you to make your first donation of 2026 directly to the DNC — but first, we hope you'll give us a chance to explain why we need your support right now. Here's the deal: - Trump has repeatedly floated the idea of running for a third term, asked Republicans to redraw congressional maps across the country in their favor, and threatened to end voting by mail.
- He has threatened to pull the television licenses of news agencies that have accurately covered his disastrous second term in office.
- He is weaponizing the FBI and the Department of Justice for personal revenge.
Trump wants us to be scared. He and his allies are counting on all of us completely giving up and giving in. But we can't. And we won't. Regaining congressional power in November is our best chance to fight back. To do it, we're going to need a massive influx of resources. Not right before Election Day — now. So, Jason, we're asking: Can you join thousands of your fellow Democrats in making a contribution to the DNC today? It will add up fast when we all come together to do our part: If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly.

Alexandria was just onstage at the Munich Security Conference.  
Today, on a panel at the Munich Security Conference, Alexandria was asked, "Has your party betrayed its base?" Here was her answer: I was first elected in 2018, and I was a waitress in New York City. I had no health insurance, I could not pay my rent, and I consistently saw a party that championed special interests, the elite — a Democratic Party that was very much telling working people that "everything was fine" when it, in fact, wasn't. After I was elected, I remember there was a closed-door meeting of many high ranking Democratic Party officials. At that time — a long time ago — they derided many of the populist demands that I had run my campaign on. I had defeated a 20-year Democratic incumbent that was part of Democratic Party leadership. And they said, "$15 minimum wage? Way too high, too severe." The idea of tuition-free public colleges and universities? Too far.
Expanding healthcare and Medicare? Too extreme. These were all things that I as a waitress had campaigned on, and had been major pain points in my life. And then they said, "We have to listen to working class people more." I think that encapsulates much of the betrayal that the working class in the United States have felt. But we have come a long way since then — and we have a long way to go. The United States right now is experiencing a political pendulum. And really the party that is seen most as betraying the working-class is the governing party. Right now, that happens to be the Republican majority. What we are seeing over the last eight years has been a growing recognition of those past errors, that include military interventionism in the Iraq War, a recognition of NAFTA as a failed policy for many rural and working class communities. Now I think we are moving in this direction of increased recognition that we have to have a working class centered politics if we are going to succeed, and also if we are going to stave off the scourges of authoritarianism, which also provides political siren calls to allure people into finding scapegoats to blame for rising economic inequality, both domestically and globally. We will keep you informed as Alexandria continues to participate in the Munich Security Conference. In solidarity, Team AOC  
| They tried to indict me. On Wednesday, U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro attempted to persuade a Grand Jury to indict me. She failed. I want to walk you through what happened, and then ask for your help in fighting back against this legal intimidation from the Trump administration. The attempt to indict me, and a number of other Members of Congress with service and veteran backgrounds, was in response to a 90-second video that simply quoted the law. Pirro did this at the direction of President Trump, who said repeatedly that I should be investigated, arrested, and hanged for sedition. Thankfully, it was a good day for democracy: A grand jury of anonymous American citizens upheld the rule of law and determined this case should not proceed. But their decision wasn't just an embarrassing result for the Trump administration, it was another sad day for our country. Because whether or not Pirro succeeded is not the point. The point is that President Trump continues to weaponize our justice system against his perceived enemies. It's the kind of thing you see in a foreign country, not in the United States we know and love. And if they can do this to me — a sitting United States Senator — what can they do to a business leader or the head of a community foundation or a mom who goes viral on the internet for criticizing Donald Trump? In normal times, this would end this politicized investigation for good, but, of course, I cannot be sure of that. To this point, I have been able to fight back legally because of the support I've received from people like you who have encouraged me, defended me, and donated to help. Today, I am asking for your help once more. Can you please split a contribution between my campaign and the DNC to help support Democrats like me facing these attacks, and allow me and fellow Democrats to keep fighting to defend our democracy? If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your split contribution between Elissa Slotkin and the Democratic National Committee instantly: Thank you, as always, for having my back. And remember: Don't give up the ship! Elissa Slotkin  If you gave recently via check or mail, our system may not have yet processed your gift.

| Jason, have you seen this?  Trump and his allied groups have $320 million on hand — more than double Democrats' total. That is a HUGE war chest Republicans are going to put to work boosting MAGA candidates in the midterms. You won't be able to turn on your television or go on the internet without seeing an ad attacking Democrats. So we're asking you to donate to the DNC today to help us fight back. You can use this link: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/em-dnc-february-2026 This isn't about raising money for the sake of it or closing the fundraising gap in one day. It's about building the long-term resources we'll need to take back Congress and elect more Democrats who will check Trump's power in their cities, districts, and states. To do that, we're asking for $7. $7 to help Democratic candidates break through the noise and ensure their message reaches voters. $7 to flip the House and Senate and bring Republicans' agenda to a grinding halt. $7 because the DNC is the organization that's best positioned to move resources where they are needed and when they are needed most between now and Election Day. This year, thousands of Democrats have chipped in to help us reach the voters we'll need to prevent more of Trump's cruelty from harming our communities. Today's the day they're hoping you'll join them with your first contribution of 2026.
