USPS is on the verge of shutting down

SIGN NOW: Our Postal Service is on the verge of shutting down – demand Congress step in and save it now >> SIGN THE PETITION Pamela, the USPS is sounding the alarm: without action, it could run out of money and stop deliveries as soon as this October. [1] And I don’t need to tell you: that would be the WORST possible timing for the millions of Americans who vote by mail. This was no accident. Trump and his allies have spent years trying to gut the USPS – pushing cuts, downsizing, and privatization schemes to dismantle a public service that millions of Americans rely on every day. [2] And now, if Congress doesn’t step in immediately, they may finally succeed. Trump has never hidden his goal: he's hell-bent on taking away our right to vote by mail, and seems to believe that any government function that isn't about making him or his fellow billionaires richer just isn't worth it. But Pamela, you know the truth: the USPS is a vital, dependable, and all-American public service that’s crucial to our democracy. If Trump thinks he can take it away from us without a fight, he's got another thing coming. Sign The Petition: Tell Congress to act now and fully fund the USPS before it’s too late >> SIGN THE PETITION The Postal Service is written into our Constitution for a reason: it’s meant to connect the country and support a functioning democracy. For generations, it’s helped ensure the free flow of information – and today, that includes delivering our ballots. Take that away, and millions of Americans – especially rural voters and seniors – are at risk of losing their voices entirely. That’s why we’re looking at this new threat to USPS as just one part of Trump’s strategy to control the 2026 midterms – by undercutting our ability to vote by mail or even just creating uncertainty about our ballots being delivered on time.   But if we sound the alarm RIGHT NOW, and make sure Congress knows we're expecting them to fully fund our Postal Service, we can nip that plot in the bud before it can silence a single voter. SIGN NOW: Demand Congress fully fund the Postal Service and protect it from collapse >> Thanks for all you do, The team at Common Cause [1] https://www.npr.org/2026/03/17/nx-s1-5750419/usps-running-out-of-money-postal-service-david-steiner [2] https://www.epi.org/publication/president-trump-attacks-the-postal-service-your-questions-answered/ Common Cause is a leader in fights that matter at the local, state, and national level.

★ ★ ★

HOW WILL YOU HONOR THE HEROES WHO SERVE?

SIGN THE CARD

USO Supporter,

This Memorial Day weekend, many of our service members are far from home, in dangerous environments and facing long deployments.

Memorial Day is about remembering the ultimate sacrifices made by our heroic service members who have courageously given everything while serving our nation.

Let us also recognize the enduring commitment and resilience of our entire military community, who continue to defend our freedom and put themselves in harm's way. In the face of uncertainty, our troops stand strong, confronting the challenges of active duty with bravery and determination.

As you spend time with family and friends this long weekend, we invite you to join us in expressing gratitude directly to our service members. We need 250,000 grateful Americans to sign the card honoring them, and we're missing your signature: Will you join other top military supporters and thank our heroes in uniform before Memorial Day?

THANK A HERO

This weekend is a critical time to thank our military for their selfless service and sacrifice. It might not seem like much, but your words of support can provide encouragement and strength to those who are on active duty, reminding them they're deeply appreciated and always in our thoughts.

In moments when they're missing home most, your gratitude means the world. So please, will you sign our Memorial Day card and honor a hero today?

THANK A HERO

Thank you for supporting the military,

The USO

We’re done, team...

 

House Democrats are counting on support from our grassroots members to prevent FOUR FULL YEARS of unchecked GOP control.

It's time to be brutally honest:

We told you Mike Johnson is a dangerous extremist wielding the Speaker's gavel.

We told you Republicans have raised an ASTONISHING $174 MILLION from MAGA megadonors in hopes of keeping their fragile majority intact.

And we told you House Democrats are counting on support from our members to prevent FOUR FULL YEARS of unchecked GOP control.

But it looks like Democrats are nowhere to be found. Donations are at a standstill!

There is no easy way to say this: If we don't pick up the pace NOW, Republicans could build a MASSIVE cash advantage over us. Our fight to reclaim the House could be over before it even starts -- and there might be no coming back from it. We hate to beg, but we're at a breaking point. So please, we’re calling on 8,784 Democrats to step up before midnight to help turn things around. Is there any way you could rush $15? >>

Activist: kmyers209.shamrock5@blogger.com

Suggested Support: $15

Look: We put every ounce of energy we had into rebuilding from our devastating losses in 2024.

And we’ll never forgive ourselves if we head into the 2026 Midterms in such an awful position.

We KNOW we can turn things around -- but NOT if grassroots Democrats like you sit on the sidelines. Can we count on you for $15?

Y'all, it's Carville with some good news: REPUBLICANS ARE FREAKING OUT ABOUT LOSING OHIO.

But don't get hopped up on sugar yet:

We gotta keep up the pressure on these bozos and send Sherrod Brown to the Senate, so I'm asking you – heck, I'm begging you – to chip in a couple bucks to his campaign and Heartland Patriots right now:

DONATE

We got these guys in retreat. But the fat-cat donors are swamping Ohio with a HUGE surge of cash. This is one of those all-hands-on-deck scenarios they always talk about – and y'all gotta get in the game.

Sherrod Brown's leading Trump's lackey in a handful of polls, and I'm not gonna sit back and do my knitting when we have the chance of a LIFETIME to send him to the Senate… and you better not either!!

Help the good folks on Sherrod's team hit their URGENT $30,000 fundraising goal by splitting $10 between Sherrod and Heartland Patriots so we can boot these fools outta the Senate majority >>

If you have stored your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation to Sherrod Brown and Heartland Patriots will process instantly:

Contribute $10 Contribute $25 Contribute $30 Contribute $50 Contribute $100 Contribute $250 Give another amount

Keep it up, y'all.

The People’s Watchdog Newsletter - May 23

This week’s Common Cause newsletter is just a 7.5 minute read at 850 words.

Saturday, May 23, 2026 👋 Hi Pamela! Happy Saturday. In the Watchdog Newsletter, we share what you need to know to hold power accountable from the nonpartisan source you can trust. This watchdog doesn’t give in to pressure from presidents. This week’s Common Cause newsletter is just a 7.5 minute read at 850 words. 📍 After Callais, All Roads Lead to the South In the last newsletter, we told you Florida became the first major battleground after the Supreme Court’s decision in Louisiana v. Callais. This week, the fight is spreading — and all roads on voting rights are leading to the South. Now in Georgia, Governor Brian Kemp is calling lawmakers back for a special session to redraw the state’s political maps ahead of the 2028 election, even though the Callais decision does not require Georgia to redraw its congressional maps. Common Cause has already made our position clear: if lawmakers pass maps that dilute Black voting power, we’ll exhaust every legal option to stop them. And we’re already mobilizing our members to speak up. This is exactly the threat we warned about: politicians using a weakened Voting Rights Act as an excuse to grab power, silence voters, and redraw communities out of fair representation. But voters aren’t standing down. Last weekend, Common Cause joined partners and community members for All Roads Lead to the South, a national day of action centered on voting rights, fair representation, and the ongoing fight against attacks on our democracy. Our message was heard loudly from Alabama to communities across the country: our fight for voting rights isn’t over. Florida was the first test after Callais, and now, its Georgia. Wherever anti-voter politicians try to rig the rules, Common Cause will be there to fight back. 💰 Trump to Convicted J6ers: “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” This week, thanks to public pressure and legal action taken by Common Cause, President Trump dropped his baseless $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS. But that doesn't mean the story is over. President Trump has gone to plan B: creating a $1.8 billion taxpayer-funded slush fund. He wants to take your hard-earned tax dollars and hand it over to the criminals, cronies, and insurrectionists who assaulted police officers in his name and tried to overturn our democracy on January 6. That’s why we just filed a lawsuit against this move. This slush fund is completely unconscionable, and more importantly, it’s illegal. We’re suing to protect hardworking Americans and ensure public money goes towards making our lives more affordable, not paying out the president’s political allies. Join us in rejecting Trump’s unprecedented $1.8 billion slush fund and demanding full accountability. 📖✍🏽 Sick of the Spin? We’re Breaking Down the Truth on Substack We’re making it easier than ever to understand what’s happening in our democracy — no law degree, political science background, or a full afternoon to decode the news required. This week, we’re spotlighting two new Common Cause Substack series: Pop Congress from Preston Mitchum, our senior director of legislative affairs, breaks down what’s happening on Capitol Hill through the lens of pop culture. Preston has worked at the intersection of law, policy, and advocacy at organizations like The Trevor Project, Center for American Progress, and URGE: Unite for Reproductive & Gender Equity. He brings years of policy and advocacy experience — plus firsthand reality TV experience — to make Congress feel more familiar, accessible, and real. Reading Between the Lines, written by Dan Vicuña, our senior policy director for voting and fair representation, unpacks voting rights and fair representation fights beyond the “horse-race” headlines and legal jargon. Dan has spent years working on fair maps, including Rucho v. Common Cause, and brings that expertise to help readers understand what these fights mean for real people. Staying informed shouldn’t feel impossible. These new series are here to make the news easier to follow, the stakes clearer, and the work ahead more connected to your everyday life. Check out the first posts and subscribe to Common Cause on Substack. 📱 Our Favorite Post 👀 ICYMI We're working so hard to protect our democracy, we could write you a novel instead of a newsletter.
