Friend,

The machinery of the Department of Justice has touched down in Minnesota, and they didn't come to talk.

Attorney General Pam Bondi is on the ground. Vice President JD Vance is on the way.

We are seeing the terrifying next step in this occupation of Minneapolis. They aren't just satisfied with soldiers in the streets; now they want the state’s leadership in handcuffs.

They are looking to make an example out of Minneapolis. They want to show every elected official in this country—from the statehouse to the city council—that if you dare to stand between the federal government and your constituents, you will be removed. You will be prosecuted. You will be destroyed.

It is the oldest play in the authoritarian playbook: Criminalize the opposition until no one is left to oppose you.

Operation Liberty is tracking every movement of this federal entourage. We are documenting the intimidation tactics and the abuse of power in real-time. But as the Vice President arrives, the security perimeter tightens, and our work gets harder—and more dangerous.

We need to keep our team in the field to witness this. We cannot let democracy die in the dark. Will you chip in to keep our team up and running.
