Emily, Overnight and without congressional approval, Donald Trump initiated major combat operations against Iran. Trump himself said that this operation is "massive and ongoing" and he expects there may be American casualties. I am praying for the safety of our men and women in uniform, of Americans and their families in the region, and of innocent civilians. Trump sold voters on a "pro-peace" vision of himself as an America First candidate, yet in under 13 months, he has ordered strikes on seven foreign nations and plunged our country into more open-ended conflict using taxpayer dollars. While he's distracted by foreign conflicts and shiny ballrooms, Trump has failed to deliver on his promise to bring costs down for working families, who are paying more every day because of Trump's actions. If we can't trust Donald Trump to live up to his most basic promises here on the home front, how can we possibly trust his judgment to put our brave servicemembers in harm's way? Make no mistake: the Iranian regime has sanctioned terrorism, and undermined democracy and the human rights of its people. But our nation deserves better than a government that shoots first and asks questions later. Americans do not look fondly on presidents that force us into deadly, expensive, endless conflicts. Democrats in Congress are demanding answers on behalf of the American people, who have made clear they do not support Trump's war. Ken Ken Martin

  | 🚨 Attention Democrats, please don't click away from this important message: 🇺🇸 We know you're busy, so we'll get straight to the point: We're asking you to contribute $7 to the DNC ahead of our end-of-month fundraising deadline. Republicans have already proven that they won't stand up for the American people, so we need to elect as many Democrats as possible who will. Doing that work demands a strong, organized Democratic Party leading the way. But here's the thing: Going into 2026, Trump and his allied groups had a $483 million war chest — nearly triple Democrats' total. They know their agenda is unpopular. They're seeing Democrats win election after election. So they're going to attempt to buy their way out of their unpopularity problem. Thank you for standing with us.

| Emily, Right now, Trump and his allies would love nothing more than to see all of us throw in the towel and give up. They're counting on all of us tuning out and giving in to fear as the Trump administration continues to abuse its power. But supporters like you haven't done that. In the last few months, we've received thousands of donations from people all over the country — people who are fighting back against Trump's destructive legislation, helping Democrats win tough races, and laying the groundwork to take back Congress in November. Now with our end-of-month fundraising deadline rapidly approaching, we're turning to you. The truth is, every fundraising goal we meet allows the DNC to allocate resources where they're needed most as we work to elect Democrats at all levels. If that work is worth $7 to you, that's the amount we're asking you to chip in before tomorrow's deadline to support the DNC's work: If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly. Every dollar helps Democrats move closer to taking back power. Thank you, The Democrats  If you gave recently via check or mail, our system may not have yet processed your gift.

| Emily, On the first day of this month Republicans woke up in a panic. Do you want to know why? The night before, Democrat Taylor Rehmet won his race and pulled off a 32-point swing in a Texas state senate district that Trump won by 17 points in 2024. That's right — a 32-point swing in Texas. That day was also my first anniversary as chair of the Democratic National Committee. Frankly, I couldn't have asked for a better gift. When I started, Democrats had just suffered a gut-punch loss in 2024. One that had people asking whether our party still understood the country we were fighting to lead. For me, that's not an abstract question. I'm the son of a single mom who struggled to keep our family afloat. I watched her work harder than anyone I knew, making impossible choices, and still worry whether bills would get paid. Politics wasn't theoretical in our house. It showed up in the rent, the groceries, the cost of health care, and whether the system treated us like an afterthought or as a family worth fighting for. If the Democratic Party loses sight of people who know struggle firsthand, then no amount of clever messaging or campaign tactics will save us. That's why we're organizing around working people — not just to rebuild our majority, but to make clear what our purpose is. That's what we've been doing at the DNC: investing the money, resources, and talent to build lasting political power to win congressional elections, state races, and local seats. But this work — winning and delivering for working Americans — is only possible with grassroots donations. Seriously. Emily, our end-of-month fundraising deadline is coming up tomorrow. These deadlines might seem arbitrary, but they're not. Our team sets monthly goals that help determine how much money Democrats can allocate to different priorities. So I'm asking: if you're able, can you make a $7 contribution before midnight tomorrow to help us reach our end-of-month goal? We'll put your donation directly to work electing Democrats. If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly. Right now, Democrats have real wind at our backs. Since Trump took office, Republicans have flipped zero state legislative seats. Zero. Democrats have flipped 26. We've seen political earthquakes like we saw in Texas every month — hell, nearly every week — for the past year. As I've been saying, it's not an anomaly if it's happening weekly. We elected Democratic governors in Virginia and New Jersey. Supreme Court justices in Pennsylvania. Passed Proposition 50 in California. None of this happened by accident. At the DNC, we've followed a simple philosophy: organize everywhere. Not just one region. Not in a few battleground states. Everywhere. During times like these, I think about my mom. About how she never had the luxury of giving up when things got hard. About how hope, for her, was never abstract. It was built slowly, through discipline, sacrifice, and showing up even when the odds weren't kind. When Democrats take back Congress this year, and I believe we will, the real work will begin. We will govern with the seriousness this moment demands and the humility to remember who sent us here. I welcome that pressure. We all should. Pressure is what keeps a party honest. It's what reminds us that power is not something you possess, it's something you're entrusted with. And that, for me, is where hope begins. Best, Ken Ken Martin

| Emily, With so much happening right now, you might not think that $7, $10, or $25 can make a difference in checking Trump's power. But you'd be wrong. Every dollar we raise right now brings us closer to taking back control of government from Donald Trump and his allies. It helps us register new Democratic voters, invest early in organizing, and take the fight to the Trump administration in court. November may seem far away, but what happens now makes the difference between winning and losing on Election Day. It could make the difference between taking back Congress or letting Trump have another two years of unchecked power. Donald Trump's billionaire allies aren't waiting until November to invest in winning swing states. You shouldn't either. Don't wake up on November 4 wishing you had done more to take back power from Republicans. Chip in $7 to help put Democrats in a position to win: If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly. Thank you for your support, The Democrats To all Democrats: 🇺🇸 If everyone reading this email chipped in $7 right now, we'd be well on our way to building the resources we need to organize and reach voters all over the country. But the truth is that less than one percent of the people receiving these messages pitch in. That's why we're counting on all Democrats who know how high the stakes are to step up in this moment.

| Emily, can we have a moment to explain what's happening right now? Here's the deal: Trump has threatened to "take over" the midterm elections and continued to push conspiracy theories of voter fraud. He's deployed masked federal agents to blue states. He even accused Democratic officials of "seditious behavior" for urging military and intelligence personnel not to obey unlawful orders and suggested they should be executed for it. And at this week's State of the Union, Trump doubled down on all of his disastrous policies and plans. He ramped up the desperate attacks. Emily, Trump wants people to be afraid. He wants to intimidate us into silence. He and his allies are counting on Democrats completely giving up. We can't let that happen. In just two days, we face our February fundraising deadline. After this deadline passes, we'll be required to report what we've raised. Those numbers will tell a story: A lot of contributions will show the strength of Democrats' opposition to Trump and his agenda. They'll show we aren't done fighting. So, Emily, 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.
