Trump’s gag order
Huge disadvantage

On Juneteenth…

On this Juneteenth
|
|||
Pamela, Juneteenth commemorates the day when Black Americans in Galveston, Texas, finally gained freedom — more than two years after President Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation.
This is both a day of celebration of those who fought courageously and relentlessly for equality — and a stirring reminder of the injustice that we must never forget or let happen again.
This year, Juneteenth comes at a time when anti-democracy forces are attempting to turn back some of the very freedoms that this holiday commemorates.
We’ve just witnessed the Supreme Court’s evisceration of the landmark Voting Rights Act, which is already having an especially consequential impact on Black voters. Just days after the ruling, states across the South rushed to amass power by silencing the voices of Black Americans and other communities of color through a frenzy of racial gerrymandering.
Today, while we celebrate overcoming a stain of the past, we must renew our commitment to the freedoms we hold dear — whether it’s defending the right to vote for all Americans or simply ensuring that the true will of the people is heard.
Thank you, today and every day, for your commitment to democracy,

The GOP is outspending us
|
standing up, speaking out, fighting back
While Donald Trump and the entire MAGA movement continue running wild, Democrats are standing up, speaking out, and fighting back – in DC, on the campaign trail, and in communities like yours across the country.
In the House, Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries is waging an all-out war against Republican attempts to rig the 2026 elections through gerrymandering and voter suppression. And Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is calling out Trump's unauthorized war against Iran for what it is – an unconstitutional power grab with no congressional approval and no clear plan.
In Georgia, Senator Jon Ossoff – the only Senate Democrat running for re-election in a state Trump won – is going straight at the president, calling him “spiritually broken” and morally unfit for the office he holds.

On the campaign trail, the energy is just as fierce.
In Ohio, Sherrod Brown came back from a 2024 loss and immediately went on offense against Trump's tariffs, demanding Ohioans get their money back. And in North Carolina, Roy Cooper is running straight at Trump's handpicked candidate – the man Trump personally selected to be RNC chair – and drawing a sharp contrast on the issues voters actually care about.
In Alaska, Mary Peltola launched her Senate campaign calling out "the rigged system in D.C. that's shutting down Alaska while politicians feather their own nest.” In Maine, Marine veteran and oyster farmer Graham Platner is running an insurgent campaign that has the entire country – Democrats, Republicans, and Independents – taking notice.
Finally, in Texas, James Talarico is telling the truth in a way that resonates — not positioning left versus right, but pointing out that the problems our country is facing are more about top versus bottom.

This is what a movement looks like. Democrats are fighting in every state, at every level, against every part of Trump's agenda.
