Certifying the presidential election on January 6, 2025, was one of the most challenging moments in my career. Emily - 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

  | Emily, 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, Emily, 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

| Emily, Happy New Year! It's officially 2026, and we've gotten a jump start on our New Year's resolutions. Here they are: Flip the House and the Senate so we can stop Trump's disastrous agenda in its tracks. Elect Democrats at all levels of government who will fight for a more fair, just, and affordable future for their cities, districts, and states. Organize everywhere to win anywhere. To elect as many Democrats as possible, we need to continue investing in state Democratic Parties, recruiting and training volunteers, supporting candidates nationwide, and having impactful conversations with voters across the country to ensure they know what's at stake this year. But Emily, the thing about New Year's resolutions is that they aren't accomplished overnight. We know achieving these goals is going to take hard work and diligence all year. And to do it, we have to start now. So today, we're asking you to join us and chip in $7, or whatever you can afford, to power our fight to elect Democrats up and down the ballot this year and beyond. We'll put your donation to work immediately as 2026 gets underway: If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly.

| Emily, Trump promised peace, but has delivered war. For months, the Trump administration has escalated conflict in Venezuela with unconstitutional and illegal strikes, and lied to the American people. Now, Trump has committed the United States to running another country for the foreseeable future while Americans foot the bill for regime change. This weekend, Trump finally said the quiet part out loud. The justification for this war isn't about stemming the flow of drugs. This is about regime change. This is about enriching oil corporations and billionaires. Congress must immediately assert its constitutional authority over American military action — the same authority Trump's own chief of staff said he needs. This is the worst kind of betrayal from Trump. He committed the United States to an uncertain role in South America with an indeterminate timeline. As Trump's influence over the country and the world wanes, he is ready and willing to endanger Americans and abandon the Constitution as a last-ditch effort to hold on to power and relevancy. We deserve better than this. Ken Ken Martin
