Jason, Not everyone will receive this email, but we wanted to make sure you did. No, that's not a gimmick — it's the truth. Here's what we mean: Every day, our team at the DNC is working to identify the people who are most likely to take action or engage with us, and we do our best to keep you informed about our work. Maybe you've donated to support Democrats before. Maybe you've knocked on doors in your neighborhood. Maybe you've taken the time to read or reply to messages like these. No matter your level of involvement, we want to say thank you. You — and people like you who care deeply about our country's future — are the reason that Democrats have a real chance to win back Congress this year. But that also means you are the one whose help we're asking for today. It's officially midterm season, and we need to scale up our work as early as possible if we're going to win tough races all over the country, and flip the House and Senate. That's why we're asking people like you — who care a lot about winning back Congress this year — to chip in $7 to the DNC today. We'll put your contribution to work immediately to elect Democrats at all levels of government. If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly.

Certifying the presidential election on January 6, 2025, was one of the most challenging moments in my career. Team - Five years ago, an armed mob stormed the United States Capitol. Inspired by lies and hatred spewed by Donald Trump, they used brutal violence and intimidation in an attempt to overturn a free and fair election. And since returning to office, Trump pardoned the insurrectionists who betrayed their country. January 6, 2021, showed us how fragile our democracy is. We, the people, must fight back against Donald Trump and his cronies as they sow chaos and fear among the American people. We cannot stand idly by as they strip our fundamental freedoms, enrich themselves on the back of working people, and destroy our reputation around the globe. And we must continue to do the hard work to ensure our democracy survives. Let me be clear: Certifying the presidential election on January 6, 2025, was one of the most challenging moments in my career. Yet I never — not for one second — considered any other action. Because the American people had spoken. And in our nation, the power is and must always be with the people. Kamala

During an Instagram Q&A, someone asked me: 
Because Republicans — who have control of the House, the Senate, and the White House — enacted 2 major things just weeks ago: 1. They ended Affordable Care Act insurance subsidies which cause insurance rates to more than double, and 2. They made a trillion dollars in cuts to Medicaid and healthcare, skyrocketing healthcare costs. A lot of people think this kind of thing won't affect them if they aren't on Medicaid, Medicare, or the Affordable Care Act. They are, sadly, mistaken. Massive cuts to our healthcare system also forces private insurance to skyrocket because the whole system will have to make up the difference. This is why the government was shut down, by the way — trying to prevent these ACA insurance hikes from going into place. Thank you for being a part of this movement. In solidarity, Alexandria  
| Jason, It's Andie Levien, General Counsel for the DNC. It's my job to oversee all legal issues related to the Party's work, which includes taking Trump to court. Here's what's happening right now: Republicans are so worried that they can't compete with our grassroots donor base that they're asking the Supreme Court to change campaign finance rules to give their billionaire donors even more influence. JD Vance himself is leading the charge. So Democrats stepped in –– fighting with everything we've got to keep those limits in place. Last month, we argued against Trump and Vance before the Supreme Court to protect our democracy from billionaire interference. But here's the thing: These aren't easy cases to win. That's why the DNC needs a surge of grassroots support to help us hand the billionaire-backed president a crucial defeat. So, Jason, if you're ready to join us in our fight to beat Donald Trump and Republicans in court to ensure that the integrity of our democracy and our elections remain intact, and to elect Democrats up and down the ballot in 2026, we're asking you to chip in $7 or whatever makes sense for you today. If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly. Thank you, and I'll have more updates to share soon. Andie Andrea Levien
