John,

Two days ago, Becca walked into a congressional hearing and confronted Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem directly.

She asked the questions many people in power were avoiding. She demanded accountability for DHS ignoring court orders. She told Noem plainly that the American people would not forget the lawlessness happening on her watch.

And yesterday? Donald Trump fired her as Secretary.

Now, let’s be clear: Kristi Noem wasn’t removed because the administration suddenly discovered a conscience. Reports say her removal came after weeks of mounting controversy and intense scrutiny from lawmakers following contentious congressional hearings.

But here’s what matters: the pressure worked.

When leaders speak up. When people pay attention. When elected officials refuse to let abuses of power happen quietly behind closed doors. Things change.

If you want more moments like this — moments where people in power are forced to answer for what they’ve done — please chip in today to help Becca keep fighting for accountability in Congress. [[link removed]]

Too often, the people responsible for harming families, breaking laws, or abusing their power expect Congress to move on. They expect the outrage to fade. They expect nobody to KEEP asking questions.

But we all know that’s not how Becca works.

When DHS officials ignored court orders, she said so. When testimony didn’t match what judges had already ruled, she called it out. When Noem tried to dodge responsibility, she told her directly: the American people deserve accountability. And she meant it.

HELP KEEP THE PRESSURE ON! [[link removed]]

This moment is a reminder of something powerful: when people organize, pay attention, and demand answers, the political ground shifts .

But none of this happens automatically. Holding powerful officials accountable takes time, resources, and the willingness to keep pushing — even when it’s uncomfortable.

That’s exactly why grassroots support matters so much.

So, if you believe Congress needs more people willing to ask the hard questions and refuse to back down, please chip in today to support Becca’s work. [[link removed]]

Because accountability doesn’t happen on its own. It happens when people stand up. It happens when leaders refuse to stay quiet. And it happens when supporters like you make sure the people demanding answers have the backing they need to keep going.

Thank you for being part of this fight.
