Emily, it's Mark. Most of you probably know that I am suing the Secretary of Defense. On Tuesday, I was in court to make my case against Pete Hegseth. After 25 years in uniform and another 5 in the United States Senate, I never imagined I'd have to do something like that. Hegseth has left me no choice. When he censured me and threatened my rank and retirement, he came after what I earned over 25 years — and attempted to chill the free speech rights of every retired member of the military alongside me. If Hegseth isn't stopped, our longest-serving military veterans will have to live with the constant threat that they could be deprived of their rank and pension years, even decades, after they leave the military if they say something he doesn't like. I'm not going to sit by and let that happen. So, I sued Hegseth. And now, we wait and see what the court decides. I've been truly humbled by the support people have sent my way over the past couple of months. It means the world to me that so many of you care about what Trump and Hegseth are trying to do. That's how we've made it this far, and it's how we'll get to the other side of this chapter in our nation's history. Together. If you've been waiting for the right time to make a stand and join the fight, this is it. Please, if you can, will you split a donation between the DNC and me?

  | Emily, We just beat Donald Trump in court. In response to the Democratic Party's lawsuit, a federal judge permanently blocked parts of Trump's illegal executive order in which he tried to make it harder for members of the military and married women who have changed their name to vote. In the words of the judge, "our Constitution does not allow the President to impose unilateral changes to federal election procedures." We couldn't agree more. Emily, this decision is a win for democracy and for the American people. But we also know that the fight doesn't end here. Donald Trump could appeal this decision, and he'll certainly continue working with Republicans in Congress to try to restrict Americans' voting rights in 2026 and beyond. We need to be ready to stop them when they try. That's why we're asking you to chip in $7 today, to help make sure that the DNC is ready to defend the voting rights of every American citizen when they come under attack. And make no mistake, Emily, they will come under attack by Trump and his Republican allies at some point. If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly.

Our movement has always been bigger than one candidate. Emily - I know this past year has certainly not been easy for any of us. In that time, I've taken stock of the state of our nation, and here's what I've concluded: The right has a 24/7 outrage machine online. They are casting Donald Trump as an agent of change, yet he has delivered nothing but empty promises for the American people. Democrats must improve our ability to convey our message and reach every American — including Gen Z. They are the heart of my vision for the future, and we must do a better job of connecting with them. That is why I have decided to revive my team's social media operation, KamalaHQ. It will now be known as Headquarters. I am so proud of what we built in 2024 — and how KamalaHQ innovated online and brought new, young voters into the conversation. Our movement has always been bigger than one candidate. So let me be clear: We must be where the people are, and these platforms help ensure our voices stay loud and our fight continues. The goal of these accounts is to keep delivering the latest information. It will not just be bad news — it will be good news too — about the everyday Americans who are standing up to fight for the right of the people to participate in their democracy. This is a moment to organize, and this is how we will do it. So I am asking you to give Headquarters a follow here: https://www.headquarters.news/ Join us as we fight for the future and the people: because we love our country.

For the cost of a monthly streaming service, your donation will directly fuel our work to elect Democrats nationwide this year. | Emily, If you've been watching everything Trump, his billionaire friends, and his Republican allies in Congress have done in just the first year of his term, then you understand the stakes of November's midterm elections. That's why we're reaching out to ask you to make a donation to the Democratic National Committee today. Here's the topline: For the same cost as a streaming service subscription, your donation could help the DNC reach voters in every corner of the country – as early as possible – to help us win in November. There is no organization better positioned than the DNC to distribute resources to the Democratic candidates and state parties that need them most, when they need them most. And we're working overtime to expand our national organizing program to register and mobilize as many Democratic voters as possible to help flip the House and the Senate. Emily, we know that none of this work is possible without our team of grassroots supporters like you. Our average contribution right now is about $24. Some give more, some give less, but every donation fuels our fight to elect Democrats up and down the ballot and stop Trump in his tracks. Donald Trump just went on a podcast and said that "Republicans should take over the voting." If stopping him from doing that is important to you, then we need to flip the House and the Senate and put a massive check on Trump's power this November. That's why we're asking you to donate today. If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly. Thank you, The Democrats P.S. A monthly donation goes even further in ensuring we have the long-term resources to organize around the country. You can use this link to start a monthly gift today.

I am going to fight this with everything I have. But don't make the mistake of thinking this is just about me. It's about every person who has the courage to speak out against Trump. | Emily. I'm writing to ask you for $20. That's right: just $20. $20 because I've had enough of Trump and Hegseth's attacks on our Constitution. $20 because Donald Trump wants to stamp out any and all opposition, and he's willing to undermine your First Amendment rights to do it. $20 because he's sent Pete Hegseth after me, and he's moving ahead with a sham investigation to drag my name through the mud and destroy what I fought for during my 25 years in uniform. I am not going to break. I am going to fight this with everything I have. But don't make the mistake of thinking this is just about me. It's about every person who has the courage to speak out against Trump. Trump wants us living in fear. I don't intend to let him win, but I need your help. Can you split a contribution of $20, or whatever you can afford, between my campaign and the DNC to help power our work against Trump, Hegseth, and anyone else who would take away our liberties?

Will you join me on Wednesday, February 11? | Emily, Senator Chris Murphy here. I'm excited to share that I will be hosting an exclusive briefing with the DNC on Wednesday, February 11, at 5 PM ET. I won't mince words — our democracy is under threat. Donald Trump spent his first year in office making corrupt deals in Washington and overwhelming the American people with chaos, lies, and lawless grifting. Now, ICE has unleashed a dystopian campaign of violence and chaos in Minnesota, killing two American citizens and detaining hundreds of people, including children. But what should frighten every American is how enthusiastically the Trump administration is lying about what's happening in Minneapolis. After CBP agents murdered Alex Pretti, they labeled him a "domestic terrorist" who was "brandishing" a weapon. Those are lies. Alex wasn't attending a "riot."He was an ICU nurse exercising his constitutional rights. We do not need to accept this. We are not powerless. Each of us has the power to speak out, organize in our communities, and support the Democratic Party to help build an opposition movement strong enough to slam the brakes on Trump's agenda and take back Congress. That's why I'm having this conversation with you. What we're facing right now is not business as usual. We need to be prepared to fight as hard as we can in the 2026 midterms, and we need you in this fight with us. I'll be answering your questions about what's to come in 2026 and how we're fighting to win in the midterms. Can I count on you to chip in any amount to join me on Wednesday, February 11, at 5 PM for this exclusive briefing? CHIP IN ANY AMOUNT TO RSVP It is up to us to take back our country. I'm looking forward to speaking with you. Chris |  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.
