Trump loves to play the victim, but every American is the victim here.

Tell Congress:

Stop Trump’s $1.7 billion MAGA slush fund. Block any taxpayer-funded settlement that rewards political allies, hides recipients, or waives accountability for Trump, his family, or his businesses.

ADD YOUR NAME

Donald Trump sued America, and then came to a settlement with people he hired to award himself a $1.8 billion slush fund that he alone will control to hand out money to rioters who attacked the Capitol on his behalf.

Not only that, his hand-picked, un-confirmed “CEO” of the IRS, Frank Bisignano, agreed to shield Trump, his family, and his businesses from IRS action forever―ending the audit that could have cost Trump $100 million.

This might just be the most corrupt act any president has ever done. Congress should block any taxpayer-funded settlement that shields Trump from accountability and creates a MAGA slush fund!

ADD YOUR NAME

Trump loves to play the victim, but every American is the victim here. The Jan 6 attackers killed police officers, smeared feces on public buildings, and (most importantly) attempted to install Trump as a king after he lost an election.

They have been prosecuted and convicted by juries of their peers over and over and over again.

And Trump attempted to defraud Americans by concealing his personal finances, which prove that he might be the biggest tax cheat of all time.

But because Trump rode a wave of Elon Musk’s money back to the White House, he is paying himself off, and setting up a slush fund to back future election interference.

Congress must step up before it’s too late! Stop the MAGA slush fund!

Thank you,

Last night a dam broke on Trump’s illegal, disastrous war on Iran. Here’s what comes next

Pamela, this is huge: Last night a dam broke on Trump’s illegal, disastrous war on Iran, and if we have anything to say about it, there’ll be nothing he or Speaker Mike Johnson can do to put it back together.

Late yesterday, Speaker Johnson pulled Rep. Gregory Meeks’ war powers resolution (WPR), which would terminate hostilities against Iran’s government, from the floor — flexing a cowardly procedural move because he didn’t have the votes to stop it.[1]

Rep. Meeks’ resolution would have passed if it had been voted on. And it’s not just the House where momentum is building: Just days ago, a bipartisan coalition in the Senate also advanced Senator Tim Kaine’s WPR, 50-47.

Margins in Congress are narrow — the last WPR vote in the House failed on a 212-212 tie. We can’t afford to give up any ground when we’re so close. That’s why we need you to help keep the pressure on.

These are votes we can WIN, Pamela. Tell Congress: End the violence and listen to the majority of Americans who say “NO WAR” by passing a war powers resolution.

ACT NOW

With political and policy failures mounting, we know the President is about to go all in on a pressure campaign to hold Republicans in line.

After more than 80 days of unnecessary, unjustifiable war, Trump's losing favor in Congress and among the public. Since it started, joint U.S.-Israeli strikes have reportedly killed 1,700 Iranian civilians; led to the deaths of 13 U.S. servicemembers, and injured hundreds more. People across the globe are struggling under the impacts of this war, including a 3.8% inflationary spike and $4.50-a-gallon gas here at home. More economic pain is on the way.

But by continuing to overwhelm congressional offices with demands to end the war on Iran, we can secure the majority of lawmakers we need to stop the violence for good and save lives. That’s where you come in.

While Congress steps back for the Memorial Day recess, our work is only deepening — and our demands are only getting louder.

Tell Congress: Pass a war powers resolution to stop Trump’s disastrous, illegal war on Iran!

Thank you for working for peace,
The Win Without War team

we're meeting in 90 minutes

Hey, I only have a sec –

I’m about to hop into another strategy meeting with my campaign team.

My opponent has launched his first attack ads against me, and it’s critical that we respond before they can reach too many undecided voters. But we’re still behind our fundraising goal, and I’m running out of options.

I’m asking if you can spare anything to support my campaign right now. We just need one last push to get there, and I’m hoping I can count on you. I’ll be tracking donations at this link for the next 90 minutes: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/sherrod-email-q2-2026

More soon,
Sherrod

Block U.S. support for Israel's genocidal violence in Lebanon

Petition to Congress:

We urge you to co-sponsor and vote to support a war powers resolution to end U.S. support for Israel’s war on Lebanon.

SIGN THE PETITION!

Israel is unleashing its genocidal "Gaza playbook" in Lebanon.

The Israeli military is demolishing homes and razing entire villages, and is currently occupying large areas of southern Lebanon. Israel has dropped bombs on Beirut, and killed nearly 3,000 people and displaced 1.2 million since early March. Despite a so-called "ceasefire" agreement, Israeli strikes continue daily. "The fate of southern Lebanon will be the same as that of Gaza," said the Israeli defense minister.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib will force a vote in the House to block U.S. support for Israel's relentless attacks on Lebanon. Our lawmakers must stop providing Israel funding and weapons support for this killing and destruction.

Sign the petition: Block U.S. support for Israel's atrocities in Lebanon. Vote YES on Rep. Tlaib's war powers resolution!

"We are witnessing the same genocidal playbook used against Palestinians in Gaza, now in Lebanon," said Rep. Tlaib when she introduced the war powers resolution.

Senators including Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren recently wrote to the Trump administration demanding answers about the potential involvement of U.S. forces in Israeli "evacuation zones" in Lebanon, Gaza, and Iran. The Senators made it clear that these so-called evacuation orders are likely illegal under international law.

Meanwhile, Trump is trying to ram through another $1 billion shipment of precision kill rockets to Israel.

Congress must finally take a stand and end U.S. support for Israel's onslaught.

Sign the petition: Vote to block U.S. support for Israel's genocidal violence in Lebanon.

Will you please join me in supporting Sherrod Brown?

Hi, it’s Carole King 🎶 and I personally wrote this email.

I’ve known Sherrod Brown long enough to have already said a lot of good things about him. But some things bear repeating.

Sherrod’s North Star is the dignity of work. He has always shown up to help working families, and he has receipts. Here are four:

Affordable Care Act (affordable healthcare)

Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (good-paying jobs)

Inflation Reduction Act (a curb on inflation that lowered the price of insulin and other prescription drugs)

Butch Lewis Act (saved Teamsters’ pensions)

If that’s all you need to read, please donate $5 or whatever you can afford right now and enjoy the rest of your day!

In 2026, when Sherrod asks his fellow Ohioans “How are you doing?” the answer is often something like this:

“Not well. I had to take a lower-paying job closer to home because I can’t afford the gas, groceries are through the roof, we lost our health insurance, and my wife and I are alternating shifts so one of us can be home with the kids.”

This is a familiar scenario across America because Republican senators and House members are using their vote to grant the president’s every wish and allow the diversion of billions of dollars of taxpayers’ money away from the people they represent.

We need Sherrod’s vote in the Senate to bring those dollars back to help you and your family.

Will you give a dollar — or more if you can spare it — to help him do that?

You may have heard the president say this:
“I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation.”

🤯

Sherrod Brown has ALWAYS thought about Americans’ financial situation and voted to improve their lives. That’s why we need him back in the U.S. Senate!

Sherrod’s 2026 opponent, Jon Husted, was appointed to his Senate seat — he never had to earn it from Ohio voters. Meanwhile, he voted alongside his fellow Ohio Republican Bernie Moreno to slash billionaires’ taxes while doing nothing for working families. Disheartened Ohio Republicans may be ready to cross the aisle and vote for Sherrod this year.

With your help, Sherrod can persuade more of those voters and WIN decisively!

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

Maybe you think nothing you do will matter, so, why bother. But small acts add up. Our movement is getting stronger, and you can take this small action today.

Donate whatever you can afford right now. No donation is too small, and every donation will help Sherrod get his message out to more voters.

If you can’t spare a dollar, volunteer here to make calls or help in other ways.

Thank you so much for participating.

We can do this!

My very best wishes to you and your family,

-Carole

Carville again.

I got three things to tell ya, so listen up:

THE GOOD: The brainiacs at Cook Political shifted Ohio's Senate race to TOSS UP, and now all-star Sherrod Brown's chances of winning are even stronger!! All I can say to that is hell yes!

THE BAD: Trump lackey Jon Husted still has an itty-bitty edge in the polls.

THE UGLY: The GOP moneybags are propping Husted up with $79 MILLION BUCKS – and we still got a long way to go, y'all.

We got a once in a blue moon shot to boot Jon the Con outta power, and I'm first in line to help do it! But there's no Y'ALL without ALL – so that means you gotta join me.

Republicans thought they had the Senate in the bag.

Six months ago, Republicans thought they had the Senate in the bag.

Now they’re scrambling, friends.

Trump’s poll numbers are sinking, gas prices have exploded, and voters are furious at the chaos and corruption pouring out of Washington.

That’s why polls show Democrats can win in states Republicans thought were untouchable — places like Alaska, Iowa, and even Texas.

But with MAGA super PACs prepared to spend whatever it takes to stop us from taking back the Senate, we need your help to keep building momentum. If you’re ready to help us take back the majority, chip in before our end-of-month deadline →

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

Trump’s billionaire donors are sitting on mountains of cash, ready to flood battleground states with attack ads designed to scare voters and drown us out.

Here’s the bottom line: We have a real chance to take back the Senate. But if we get buried financially now, we could lose that opening before voters ever cast a ballot.

That’s why this end-of-month deadline matters so much.

Please chip in to help Democrats beat the odds and take back the Senate this November.

Sincerely,

Chuck Schumer
