John —
Donald Trump just launched a sham investigation into ActBlue, the top campaign contribution processor for Democratic campaigns, including my own.
And we know why — they want to shut down ActBlue.
This is a classic authoritarian move from the Trump administration. Politicizing and weaponizing the Justice Department to go after voters’ power to make an impact on our democracy.
It’s an attempt to rig the political system — a system that was already fundamentally broken after the disastrous Citizens United Supreme Court decision.
Coming after grassroots donors’ ability to give through ActBlue and other donation processors is silencing voters. It’s a power grab by the right wing. It’s an affront to our democracy. It won’t surprise you to learn that Trump is taking no action to investigate the Republican equivalent of ActBlue — underscoring what a blatantly partisan attack this is.
Right now, our already rigged political system is giving even more power to Elon Musk and the billionaires who seek to sway elections by making massive contributions. The GOP is consolidating power and trying to kneecap our democracy through sham investigations, executive orders, and policies.
That’s not ok.
We need to empower voters. People should be able to make small dollar contributions. Post their thoughts on social media. Attend rallies and protests. Call and write to their representatives.
The GOP is trying to silence voters. We need to fight back.

Thank you — and more soon as we learn more about the impacts of Trump’s investigation.
