Emily, I've said from day one that Democrats need to be willing to go everywhere to talk to voters. So over the weekend, I went on Fox News to do just that.  First, I laid out the facts: Trump said he would have a booming economy, but the economy has shrunk. There is a high likelihood that we are heading toward a recession. Leading financial experts are saying that a recession is our country's best case. At the same time, Trump is putting forward a budget that is going to decimate the American family. That budget will cut health care, destroy early childhood education, and take warm food away from kids — all to give a tax break to the richest people in this country. Instead of fighting for — or even listening to — the people they were elected to represent, congressional Republicans are capitulating to Trump at every turn. So here was my message to Fox News watchers: If Republicans won't do their jobs, Democrats will. In the last six weeks alone, Democrats have held more than 100 town halls in over 45 states, because Republicans have refused to listen to their own constituents. We are showing working people in every corner of the country that we stand with them. Of course, we're resisting Trump with every fiber — but we're also showing folks that we're on a mission to improve their lives. That's why we're continuing to hold town halls across the country. It's why we're investing $1 million a month into our state parties. It's why we've recently launched a War Room to get our message out. And it's why I went on Fox this weekend. If you want to help, there are two things you can do right now: -
Join our national campaign to pressure four vulnerable Republicans to vote NO on Trump's budget bill and protect Medicaid for 80 million Americans. You can use this link to get started. -
Make a contribution to help fund the work the DNC is doing. Our town halls, investments into on-the-ground organizing, and outreach strategy are all made possible through grassroots contributions from people like you. Thank you for everything you're doing, and I'll have more updates to share soon. Ken Ken Martin

  | Emily, You might remember that Democrats recently sued Trump over his illegal executive order, which had attempted to suppress voters, upend voter registration systems, hand over sensitive information to DOGE, stop states from counting eligible mail ballots, and withhold federal election funding from dozens of states in the process. Well, we recently had an important update in this case. A U.S. District Court judge blocked key parts of Trump's order, an important step forward in the fight to protect our democracy. Without this decision, Americans across the country — including married women who changed their last name — could have faced significant roadblocks in registering to vote. But Democrats fought back, and with your support, we'll do it again. We'll keep using every tool at our disposal — including taking Trump to court — to defend the right to vote. Going up against Trump and the richest man in the world is not easy — but Democrats are committed to keeping up the fight. If work like this is important to you, I hope you'll consider chipping in a few dollars to help fund it.

| Emily — In a minute, we're going to ask if you can pitch in to support the DNC. But first, we hope you'll give us a chance to earn your first contribution of 2025: As Trump sends our economy into a tailspin and attacks our fundamental freedoms, it's more important than ever that Democrats not only cut through the noise — but build the long-term infrastructure we'll need to elect more leaders who can check Trump's power in their states, cities, and districts. That's exactly what we're doing. So far this year, we've focused on organizing everywhere and investing in state parties. In fact, the DNC recently announced a $1 million monthly investment in state parties across the country — an investment unlike anything Democrats have done in modern times. We're already seeing the results when we show up everywhere: Since the year began, Democrats organized across Wisconsin and kept Elon Musk from buying a seat on the Supreme Court, overperformed in states like Florida, and even flipped a deep-red district in Pennsylvania. On top of that, we're working to meet voters where they are, day in and day out. Democrats have shown up at more than 100 People's Town Halls in communities nationwide — including in areas where Republican representatives are too scared to face their own constituents. And we've launched a new War Room operation, focused on driving aggressive daily messaging to counter the Trump administration, leveraging creative opposition tactics and an expansive research operation and combating lies from the far-right. To fund all of this work, we're counting on your support.

Last week, news broke that Donald Trump was planning to hold a military parade - on his birthday - through the streets of Washington, D.C. 
Last week, news broke that Donald Trump was planning to hold a military parade — on his birthday — through the streets of Washington, D.C. Here is the truth: This parade would not be a national celebration of service — it would be a shameful celebration of one man's insatiable ego. But also, this is a parade that would cost tens of millions of dollars according to news reports, and at a time when Trump and Elon Musk are looking to cut veterans health care and housing benefits to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. It's a disgrace. This isn't the first time Trump has wanted a military parade for himself. During his first term he tried and tried again. But each time he was stopped because of public outcry. So here's what we want to do: Please sign our petition telling Congress you OPPOSE any effort to hold a military parade honoring Donald Trump in Washington, D.C. and that you OPPOSE any effort to cut veterans' health care and housing benefits.

Please don't scroll past this short read. | ️Good morning, Emily — we hope you won't scroll past this short read. It's Monday, May 5. We're just over 100 days into Trump's presidency, and the consequences have been disastrous: He's ignored a unanimous order from the Supreme Court, enacted tariffs that will skyrocket costs, and allowed an unelected billionaire to dismantle key government agencies and fire thousands of federal workers. And that was just the first 100 days. Republicans have proven they won't check Trump's power — so we need to elect more Democrats who will. To do that, we're investing in every single state party, sending $1 million a month to Democrats across the country who are doing on-the-ground organizing work and laying the groundwork to win future elections in their communities. That's the only way we'll elect more Democrats at all levels of government — and it's only possible with your help. We're counting on all Democrats who know how important this moment is to step up to support this work. If fighting back against Trump and electing Democrats at all levels of government is worth $3 to you, then we're asking you to make that contribution today. If you're on the fence, please remember any contribution makes an impact when the stakes are so high and we have work to fund in every single state.

| Emily, Since Trump's inauguration, I've been calling out what's happening: He and his allies are trying to hand over the government to the billionaires and destroy the rule of law. Now, I'm taking that message — and this fight — on the road. It's clear that people are demanding leadership, answers, and direction in this moment. But Republicans are refusing to listen to the people who elected them. So a few weeks ago, I held a town hall in Michigan's 10th District, where the incumbent Republican is hiding from constituents. Even better, my friend Rep. Maxwell Frost joined me. There wasn't an empty seat in the room. In the last week, I've held two more standing room only town halls in Republican-held districts in North Carolina and Missouri. Showing up and mobilizing people is how we win. This is how we fight back against the corruption, the destruction of our democracy, and Trump and Musk's illegal power grabs. We go everywhere. Take this debate to every corner of the nation — especially where Republicans are hiding from the people. We put pressure on them in their own backyard. If a Republican refuses to talk to their constituents, then I want to hear about it. We'll show up and host our own event in your community. Over the coming weeks and months, I'll be organizing myself and some of my colleagues to do just that. But we're going to need your support, because taking on the billionaire and corporate class requires significant resources. If you can, please make a contribution to help support the DNC's efforts to organize and mobilize people to stop Donald Trump and Elon Musk's illegal power grab. Your support helps empower Democrats to hit the road and take this fight to every corner of our nation. If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly. This is a moment of peril for our democracy. We cannot be silent or sit back while Donald Trump and Elon Musk light our constitution on fire.
