Emily, In January — speaking to the entire nation at his Inauguration — Donald Trump proclaimed "We will measure our success not only by the battles we win, but also by the wars that we end, and perhaps most importantly, the wars we never get into." Today, against his own words, the president sent bombers into Iran. Americans overwhelmingly do not want to go to war. Americans do not want to risk the safety of our troops abroad. Americans do not want a president who bypasses our Constitution and pulls us towards war without Congressional approval. Donald Trump needs to bring his case to Congress immediately. Ken Ken Martin

| We've got a question for you, Emily: If you knew that a $3 contribution would help Democrats invest in every single Democratic state party across the country and elect more Democrats who will check Trump's power in their cities, states, and districts, wouldn't that $3 be worth it? Wouldn't you donate right away? If you knew that same $3 would help Democrats win back Congress in 2026 and help prevent Trump and his allies from passing more disastrous legislation, wouldn't you feel like it was $3 well spent? We know it may not seem like $3 can do all of that. But by the time you finish reading this message, lots and lots of people will have chipped in their $3. That's money we're putting towards organizing everywhere, communicating with voters year-round, holding town halls across the country, and more. Now they're hoping you'll join them with a $3 contribution of your own to help fund that work, too. It has never been more important that we have a strong Democratic Party that fights back against Trump, while also laying the groundwork we'll need to win back Congress in 2026 and the White House in 2028. So we're asking: Can you make a $3 contribution today to support the DNC's work? If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly. Thank you for everything, The Democrats  If you gave recently via check or mail, our system may not have yet processed your gift. We are appreciative and thank you greatly for your support.

| Emily, Last week, I was physically and aggressively forced out of Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem's press conference for trying to ask a question. By now, you may have seen the video. Before I even asked my question, I was pushed and pulled, and struggled to maintain my balance. I was forced to the ground first on my knees and then flat on my chest, and as I was handcuffed and marched down a hallway, I repeatedly asked, "Why am I being detained?" I went to that press conference because I was doing my job as a United States Senator — to provide oversight and accountability of the Trump administration. But if you watched what unfolded last week and thought that was about one politician or one press conference, then you're missing the point. If that's how this administration responds to a United States senator with a question, what will they do to hardworking Americans raising their voices in California and around the country? If our elected officials become too afraid to speak up, how can we expect any other American to do the same? Right now, Donald Trump would love nothing more than for all of us to just cower away and say nothing, and let him continue to abuse his power. I won't do that. And I hope you won't either. If you're with me, I hope you'll consider splitting a contribution between my campaign and the DNC. It is more important than ever that we come together and stand against Trump and his allies' abuse of power. Your donation helps us send that message: If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your split contribution between Alex Padilla and the Democratic National Committee instantly: Thank you for everything, Alex Padilla

| Emily, As you read this email, Democrats in New Jersey are beginning a sprint to Election Day. Now that the general election is underway, we're reaching out to ask if you can make a $3 contribution to help Democrats reach as many voters as possible in states like New Jersey in the coming weeks:
If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly: If you're undecided, we hope you'll give us a chance to explain why your support makes a difference, especially right now: In November, voters in New Jersey will elect their next governor. If history is any indication, this will be a tight race that could very well come down to a few thousand votes. Democrat Mikie Sherrill — a U.S. Naval Academy graduate, Navy helicopter pilot, former federal prosecutor, wife, and mother of four — currently serves New Jersey in Congress and is running on a platform to make life easier and more affordable for Garden State families. Meanwhile, her opponent fully supports the disastrous policies Trump is implementing in Washington, saying, "When I'm president, we're gonna do the same in New Jersey." The choice in this election couldn't be clearer, but in a race this close, it's going to take all hands on deck to make sure Democrats have the resources we'll need to reach as many voters as possible in the lead-up to Election Day. So we're asking: Can you make a $3 contribution to the DNC to support our work to help elect Democrats in states like New Jersey and beyond?
If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly. We know you may not have opened this email planning to donate, but we hope this explanation has shown you the urgency and importance of your contribution.

| Emily, If you've been waiting for the right moment to make your first contribution to the DNC of the year, this is it.

When you do, you'll be entered for the chance to meet President Obama (travel and hotel expenses paid!) while supporting the DNC's work to elect Democrats nationwide.
