a pit in your stomach.

  John, Remember how you felt in the days after the 2020 election as you saw images of MAGA Republicans storming ballot counting centers, demanding election officials “STOP THE COUNT” and “STOP THE STEAL?” Now, I don’t want to alarm you, but what if I told you that the Republican Nati…

If Trump wins…

  John, we don’t want to alarm you, but there’s a very real chance that Donald Trump could be elected this November. In fact, the latest analysis from FiveThirtyEight has this race as a total toss-up:    DONATE & DEFEND DEMOCRACY We all know what Trump’s first te…

Trump’s day one plans

  Hi John – Travis Brimm here. With Donald Trump at the top of the GOP ticket, we’re bracing for a barrage of MAGA-led attempts to undermine our democracy in November – just like we’ve seen since 2020. But with the polls neck and neck, we’re also bracing for the reality that Trump w…
