John,

Before I ran for the U.S. Senate, I was an investigative journalist
leading a team that exposed corruption and human rights abuses worldwide.

This report in The New York Times reminded me of what I saw in many of
those investigations:

[ [link removed] ]NYT: Fearing Retribution, Trump Critics Muzzle Themselves People say
they are intimidated by online attacks from the president, concerned about
harm to their businesses or worried about the safety of their families.

More and more, the atmosphere under Trump reminds me of countries where
dissent is silenced by intimidation.

From the article:

Fired federal workers who are worried about losing their homes ask not to
be quoted by name. University presidents fearing that millions of dollars
in federal funding could disappear are holding their fire. Chief
executives alarmed by tariffs that could hurt their businesses are on
mute. ...

“When you see important societal actors — be it university presidents,
media outlets, C.E.O.s, mayors, governors — changing their behavior in
order to avoid the wrath of the government, that’s a sign that we’ve
crossed the line into some form of authoritarianism,” said Steven
Levitsky, a professor of government at Harvard and the co-author of the
influential 2018 book “How Democracies Die.”

This is unacceptable in the United States of America.

John — As
Trump dismantles checks on his power and purges the government to fill
every office with loyalists, more and more Americans are too afraid of
retaliation to speak up.

This descent into an un-American America must be stopped. We must regain
Congressional power.

I’m the ONLY Democratic Senator up for re-election in a state Trump won.

That means I’m MAGA’s #1 target for defeat.

Help me beat them again, just like we did in 2021.
