Reckless

Hi, it’s Sherrod. I need you to know what’s happening to our farmers.

Diesel prices? Up.

Fertilizer prices? Up.

Ohio farmers are getting squeezed like never before.

That’s what happens when out-of-touch politicians like Jon Husted vote for a reckless and costly war in Iran. In fact, Husted has voted EIGHT times to back this war… and to make life harder and more expensive for our farmers.

Ohio farmers and families are paying the price.

I’m running because I believe working families deserve someone who will actually fight for them in the Senate – not make life worse.

But I can't flip this seat without your help. This is a grassroots movement and I need you with me. Will you chip in $5 today to help me fight for working folks and win in Ohio?

If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Thank you,

Sherrod

Hey there! It's Sherrod Brown.

There's nobody fighting for Ohioans in the U.S. Senate right now, and I won't sit on the sidelines while working people get screwed over by large corporations and wealthy political donors.

If you work hard, you should be able to afford a decent life. But the reality is, life is too expensive. Costs are going up. Wages are staying stagnant. Working people are working harder than ever before, and they're not getting their share of the profit.

This campaign is all about changing that – and election analysts say we have a strong shot at winning in November.

But I'll need your help to pull it off: My opponent is a Washington insider being propped up by the Republican establishment, and he's got virtually unlimited resources.

That's not how our campaign works. We're a grassroots movement, and that means we rely on ordinary people chipping in a couple bucks. If you're able, please make a donation of any amount today. It could be what helps us flip Ohio and the Senate.

If you'd like to receive exclusive updates from my team, you can text "OHIO" to 64054.

Thank you.

They might have paused the slush fund. This is still the most corrupt thing that any president has ever done.

Pamela,

Donald Trump is backing away from the $1.8 billion slush fund he briefly awarded himself.

That’s good.

But even without the slush fund, his corrupt deal is still the most corrupt thing any President has ever done.

Trump sued his own government for things that happened on his watch, while he was president, then settled his own lawsuit to give himself and his family members permanent immunity from IRS audits. The New York Times concluded that Trump himself stood to lose more than $100 million from the audit that was dropped. Who knows what kinds of bills Don Jr. and Eric can rack up in the rest of their lifetimes without paying taxes?

There’s a Constitutional solution to Trump’s corruption: Impeachment. Tell Congress to do their jobs and IMPEACH today!

IMPEACH

Thank you,

As of 10:48 p.m.

I'll keep this brief. As the Executive Director of the DCCC, I can tell you that Democrats are recruiting candidates and targeting 44 GOP-held House seats nationwide.

I’ve worked in politics for a long time, and I know what it takes to win.

It takes polling, strategy, and research support from proven experts.

It takes staff to organize volunteers and plan meetings with community leaders.

It takes massive, diverse advertising investments to expose GOP lies and mobilize voters.

And to do all this for our candidates takes an overwhelming base of support from grassroots Democrats just like you.

I had the team check ActBlue, and as of 10:48 p.m., we still need 21,789 Democrats to step up and help close our budget gap to avoid setbacks. My team tells me you haven't yet donated to flip the House and stop Trump. Will you chip in $5 or more to the DCCC today to hand the GOP an absolute defeat and dismantle the Trump Trifecta once and for all?

If you’ve saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Chip in $3 immediately >>

There have been some major developments out of Texas recently, so today we wanted to get you up to speed on the latest.

Here’s what you need to know:

FIRST – As soon as James Talarico became the official Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Texas, the GOP started pummeling him with attacks. They know his message is already resonating with voters across the state, so they’re doing everything they can to tear him down.

THEN – A brutal primary runoff between GOP candidates John Cornyn and Ken Paxton broke out. They spent nearly $100 MILLION to attack each other… And just recently, Ken Paxton, by far the most extreme of the two candidates, officially won the GOP nomination.

NOW – With the official nominees decided and the seat open for the taking, Democrats have never had a better chance to flip Texas. In fact, polls have shown James Talarico leading Ken Paxton for MONTHS.

BUT – The GOP has held this Senate seat for decades… and they’ll spend WHATEVER it takes to keep it that way. That’s why we’re coming to you today, before it’s too late.

If you’re ready to elect a Democrat in Texas, will you please rush a donation of $5 right away? We’ve never had a better chance to flip this U.S. Senate seat, but we’re gonna need all hands on deck to fight back against the inevitable onslaught of GOP spending.

Concerning update

Hi, this is concerning:

The GOP’s top super PAC is spending $79 MILLION to defeat me, and my opponent, Jon Husted, and his PAC are pouring in millions more. We’re being outspent in the race that could decide Senate control.

Even worse? Their flood of cash is working. And expert polling shows me statistically tied with my opponent.

We just approved a massive ad buy to fight back. Now, I’m kindly asking for your grassroots support to help keep our ads on the air.

Please, will you chip in $5 or more today to help me compete in this battleground race, win in Ohio, and flip the Senate?

The People’s Watchdog Newsletter - June 6

Saturday, June 6, 2026

👋 Hi Pamela! Happy Saturday. And happy first weekend of Pride! 🏳️‍🌈

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 minute read at 800 words.

💸 No Blank Check for Trump’s Cronies

Weeks ago, President Donald Trump made a massive gamble. He dropped his sham lawsuit against the IRS (which he fully controls) and created a $1.8 billion slush fund instead. It’s one of the biggest taxpayer frauds in American history.

As our President & CEO Virginia Kase Solomón put it, “President Trump wants to take your hard-earned tax dollars and hand them over to criminals, cronies, and insurrectionists.” Now, according to media reports, but with no official confirmation from the Department of Justice (DOJ), they are dropping the slush fund. We'll continue litigating to ensure that we stop this illegal slush fund once and for all.

And Common Cause is still demanding Congress act.

This week, we joined Senators Dick Durbin and Sheldon Whitehouse, Democracy Forward, and others for a press conference on Capitol Hill to demand Congress permanently block President Trump’s slush fund once and for all.

We also delivered nearly 200,000 of your petition signatures in person to key Senators so they can see just how many constituents are outraged by this taxpayer heist. As we told reporters and lawmakers, it’s not enough for President Trump to simply “drop the fund” for two weeks or for a momentary pause.

Congress must step up and stop Trump, or any future president, from ever trying this again.

📬 We’re Still Fighting for Vote by Mail

When President Trump tried to limit who can vote by mail — for a second time this term — we sued, along with our civil rights partners at the NAACP, Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under the Law, Black Voters Matter Fund, and BVM Capacity Building Institute, to block the executive order.

Unfortunately, a federal judge declined to stop the executive order immediately. The judge found that the issues were not ripe for a ruling. But for the same reason you wouldn’t wait for the house to be on fire to decide it’s time to install a smoke detector, we can’t wait for our rights to be lost to stop the President’s dangerous power grab.

Common Cause will keep fighting this attack on our rights and Trump’s efforts to take over our elections. We’ll keep you updated as we work to make sure every eligible voter can cast a ballot freely and fairly in 2026 and beyond.

⚖️ Common Cause Sets the Standard for the Next Attorney General

The next Attorney General should work for the people, not the president. Yet, during President Trump’s second term, we’re seeing him weaponize the Department of Justice as his own personal law firm.

No more.

Trump now says he will nominate Todd Blanche, his former personal lawyer and current acting Attorney General, to lead the DOJ permanently. Blanche helped turn the DOJ into Trump’s vendetta machine instead of a department that upholds the Constitution and the rule of law for all of us.

That's exactly why Common Cause launched a public interest test for the next Attorney General nominee. Blanche fails that test. These are our key criteria for nominees:

Independence from the White House;
Refusal to weaponize law enforcement;
Honesty with the courts and respect for court orders;
A proven record of defending civil rights and constitutional limits on executive power;
Respect for Congress and the separation of powers;
And a clear ethics record and strong professional credibility.

Common Cause is committed to making sure the DOJ works for the people. This test is the first step of that process.

We're working so hard to protect our democracy, we could write you a novel instead of a newsletter. Instead, here are the top headlines you don't want to miss:

California 🐻: California voters cast their ballots, and Common Cause was there to help the public understand what came next. We reminded voters that election night is not results night, and helped explain why counting every eligible ballot accurately takes time. Read more.
Massachusetts ☘️: Massachusetts voters approved a new law to bring more sunlight to the state legislature, but lawmakers are now trying to limit how much the public can actually see. We're fighting for transparency and accountability, so people know what their elected officials are doing with their power. Learn more here.
North Carolina 🛩️: New proposals in North Carolina would cut early voting and make it easier to reject ballots over technicalities. Common Cause is leading the charge to protect voters, push back against barriers to the ballot, and make sure every eligible voter can make their voice heard. Listen to the interview here.
Ohio 🎢: A new investigation is raising serious concerns about the power of big money in our politics. Common Cause is shining a light on corruption, advocating for stronger transparency laws, and ensuring our leaders answer to people, not wealthy interests. Read more here.
