While the January 6th Committee is exposing the truth about Trump's involvement, we have work to do. New polling shows we're beating ultra-MAGA candidates in several key states -- we have to keep it that way.

"Donald Trump and his allies and supporters are a clear and present danger to American democracy."

You would be forgiven if you thought that statement came from one of us. It has before. But this quote did not. That quote is from the January 6th Committee hearing testimony of Judge J. Michael Luttig, who is a former federal judge and revered in conservative circles.

What Thursday's testimony showed us is that the legal case against Donald Trump is being built. When American voters see the truth, they support taking action.

I also want to point you in a direction of hope. In a new Politico/Morning Consult poll -- which was fielded BEFORE yesterday's powerful hearing, a full two-thirds of Americans approve of bringing charges "against elected officials who have attempted to overturn the results of an election". 67% agreed, 21% did not. That is a massive margin. More importantly, it cut across party lines. 86% of Democrats, 64% of Independents, and half of Republicans. This is not some partisan game.

It's clear we are breaking through. We have to get the message from the hearings out to every American. If we do that I am confident we can win this fall. Are you with us?

Let me ask this: What do you think those poll numbers will be after Thursday, when Mike Pence's inner circle and distinguished conservative scholars showed just how close we came to a coup -- and Mike Pence was 40 feet from the mob?

Over 100 GOP primary winners so far wholeheartedly endorse the Big Lie. When they are challenged on it, general election voters turn away from them. Not everyone. But enough to defeat them in places like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Nevada, and others. When voters see how ultra-MAGA these candidates are they will turn away from them.

After three hearings we know for certain the nation is at one of the most dangerous moments in its history. You heard Judge Luttig say "clear and present danger." That sums it up.

Our task is clear. Help us build the largest pro-democracy coalition in history and beat these loons in November.

Thanks for keeping us in the fight.
