I need to be blunt about this war

Danielle,

Forever wars don’t just happen. They’re enabled.

By a president who starts a war, profits off of it, and refuses to end it.

By lawmakers who could hold him accountable but choose to look away.

And by a system where those who decide to go to war don’t ultimately pay the price.

Trump’s war in Iran has dragged on for more than six months.

Thousands of people have been killed. Families have spent months fearing for their loved ones. And the consequences of this unnecessary war will be felt for years, even generations.

The bleak truth is that wars cost money — and those funds come from American pockets.

Last month, the Pentagon told lawmakers the war has cost $45.1 billion. That's billions of taxpayer dollars spent on a war that keeps driving up costs for families already struggling to get by.

CNN reports that the war has cost about $2,000 per American household so far, with another $50 added every week it continues. Gas is averaging $4.34 a gallon. Diesel, which powers the trucks, tractors, and trains that keep our economy moving, is near record highs. Homes using heating oil are expected to pay 21% more for the fuel than last winter.

And while working families are stretching every paycheck, Trump’s largest oil and gas holdings gained an estimated $1.5 million to $4.4 million in the war’s first six months.

Families are paying more. Trump’s oil and gas interests are making more. And the war just keeps going.

This cannot continue.

Congress has both the power and the responsibility to stop this war. Under the War Powers Act, lawmakers can force a vote on ending unauthorized U.S. military involvement in Iran.

But Republicans have allowed Trump to prolong this conflict instead of using their power to bring it to an end.

I know many of you are angry about what this administration is doing. I am, too. I grieve for everyone killed in this conflict, and I think about the families at home trying to understand why their loved ones are being sent into a war with no clear end in sight.

They deserve answers. They deserve accountability. And they deserve a Congress willing to use every tool it has to end this war.

We can end this war. And I’ll keep fighting to make sure we do.

Thanks for being a part of this,

Elizabeth

We can win this. But we need to act now

Danielle,

In just a few weeks, voters will decide whether or not Trump gets two more years of a Congress that bends the knee, rubber-stamps his agenda, and lets him do whatever he wants.

We know what’s at stake. Now it’s time to do everything we can to win.

Since March of this year, our campaign has contributed more than $1 million to state parties and Democratic committees on the front lines of the upcoming midterms. With Election Day fast approaching, I’m making sure Democrats have the resources to compete in the races that will decide control of Congress.

We have a real chance to change the direction of this country. I believe we can win this fight, and I’m determined to do everything I can to make it happen.

If Democrats win back our majorities in November, we can block Trump’s extreme judicial nominees, hold his administration accountable, and fight for the things working families desperately need.

I’m talking about making child care affordable for every family. Making the ultrawealthy pay their fair share through a wealth tax. Banning members of Congress from trading stocks while they’re supposed to be serving the public. And putting real guardrails on AI so giant tech companies can’t put profits ahead of working people.

These aren’t pipe dreams. We can make this happen if we win Congress back this year.

I’ve done my homework: This will be close. We need to gain four seats to take back the Senate. That means defending competitive seats in Michigan and Georgia while going on offense in Maine, North Carolina, Ohio, and Alaska.

These races will be tough, but Democrats have a real shot. Our investments are already helping state parties, and campaigns hire organizers, train canvassers, air ads, and reach voters. But with Election Day just weeks away, and when every single resource counts, we need to keep fighting.

Now I’m asking you to join me. Will you please pitch in $100 or anything you can right now to help our campaign support Democrats in these critical final weeks and win back the Senate?

Trump’s secret AI “regulation” plan: Written by Zuck and Musk

Danielle,

Imagine if the tobacco companies got to decide which cigarettes the FDA was allowed to inspect.

Or if Wall Street firms could tell the SEC which trades it could investigate.

You’d call that a pretty obvious conflict of interest. Right?

So why are we letting the biggest AI companies in the world help decide how they should be regulated?

AI is moving too fast for the government to simply hope Big Tech will do the right thing. So the Trump administration, at first, was developing a process to test powerful AI systems for serious security risks.

It was kind of a no-brainer if you ask me: before these systems are widely deployed, experts should have a chance to find out whether they could be used to attack our banks, power grid, hospitals, or other critical infrastructure.

Then the CEOs got involved.

Executives from Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic reportedly objected to parts of the process. And Trump’s buddies Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk also raised concerns.

And the rules changed.

What had been considered a “requirement” is now more of a suggestion. The review process was shortened, and the details still being worked out are being handled behind closed doors. The American people have no oversight or say.

The companies that are supposed to be regulated are getting a say in the rules meant to regulate them.

And I, for one, am not going to sit back and watch it happen.

I’m demanding that the top officials in Trump’s White House release every communication between these companies and the administration about the AI policy. We need to know about their secret AI framework and how it impacts the public.

The American people deserve strong guardrails set by democratically elected officials, not a toothless framework shaped in secret by a handful of billionaires.

I’m going to keep pushing until we know what happened and the American people can see how these decisions are being made.

Thanks for being a part of this,

Elizabeth Warren

Elizabeth Warren has called for an immediate pause on advanced AI development so that Congress can put proper guardrails and regulations in place to prevent serious harm. She has also introduced policies to tax AI companies to prevent an economic collapse, and to make AI companies pay for their own data center usage that is jacking up utility prices.

If you’re able, pitch in to power this work.

Here’s what $9.6 million gets you

Danielle,

Trump’s allies are pouring millions into New Hampshire to try to buy this Senate seat.

Last month, No Going Back PAC, a super PAC with ties to Trump, made a $9.6 million advertising buy in New Hampshire. A huge chunk of that spending is aimed at Chris Pappas.

And here’s what they’re trying to drown out with that mountain of cash: Chris has spent his time in Congress fighting to lower costs for New Hampshire families. He’s taken on corporate special interests. And he’s committed to not taking corporate PAC money.

Now, Trump’s allies are spending millions to distract and influence voters.

This is one of the most important Senate races in the country. Holding New Hampshire matters for the fight for a Senate majority, and this race is already seeing tens of millions of dollars in outside spending.

With less than a month until the midterm elections, will you split a contribution between Chris Pappas’ campaign and our movement right now? Every dollar will help Chris fight back against the attacks in New Hampshire and help build the grassroots power we need to make our government work for working people.

Follow the money

Danielle,

Want a government job? Need the regulators off your back? Hoping an investigation into your company quietly goes away?

In Donald Trump's Washington, there's a way. Write a big check to MAGA Inc., the super PAC he calls:

"My money that I control."

Researchers at the Center for American Progress Action Fund just followed the money, and MAGA Inc. has raised $404.6 million from donors writing checks of $100,000 or more.

Of that $404.6 million, 79% came from just 108 donors who got a documented potential benefit from Trump or his administration

Simply put: The people bankrolling Trump's super PAC are the same people profiting from his presidency.

Here's what that looks like in reality:

Twenty donors tied to government appointments, for themselves or their relatives and business partners, gave $87.75 million.
Fifty-seven donors who benefited from regulatory rollbacks gave nearly $82 million.
Seven donors who saw enforcement actions against them dropped or reversed gave $78.6 million.
Six donors who've pulled in more than $11 billion in federal contracts, including private prison giant GEO Group, gave $41.7 million.
Two donors connected to presidential pardons gave $4.5 million.

The single biggest industry writing checks? Crypto, at $88.2 million.

Add it all up, and you get pay-to-play on a scale we've never seen.

Trump promised to drain the swamp. Instead, he handed it a menu. And while his donors cash in, working families are paying more just to get by.

With midterms less than a month away, MAGA Inc. and its spinoff super PACs have reserved $160 million in ads to elect Trump's handpicked candidates, paid for by the same people cashing in on his administration.

Trump's big-dollar donors want to believe elections belong to whoever writes the biggest check.

They're wrong. They have money. We have people.

When we take back control of Congress, we can put real checks on Trump, pass laws to crack down on this kind of self-dealing, and build an America that works for everyone, not just the people who can buy a seat at Trump's gold-plated table.

I won't stop fighting until we root out this corruption.

Thanks for being a part of this,

Elizabeth
