Feel like crap?

Do you feel like crap? I do.

Yesterday, Elon Musk pledged to give Trump $45 million a month.

We keep getting hit with bad polls — including one that says that, despite Trump’s animus toward immigrants, we’re losing Latino voters. And also Black voters. And Trump’s choice for his running mate is a guy who once called him “America’s Hitler” and makes Mike Pence look like Nelson Mandela.

So, yeah, I’m not doing great. But you know what? If we don’t leave it all on the field, then we’re really going to feel like crap.

So, don’t just sit there. Do whatever you can to make yourself feel better and restore some hope.

Call me Pollyanna, but I still believe we can win this thing. Because I believe in our party and what we represent. And so do you. That’s why you opened this email.

Let’s do this thing together.

P.S. I’m going for a bike ride now.

Somehow, it’s been 20 years since I started Midwest Values PAC to help Democrats win elections — from progressive organizations to state legislatures to Congress to the White House — who share the values I grew up with in St. Louis Park, Minnesota.

Since 2006, Midwest Values PAC has invested more than $4 million in 341 candidates and organizations — and counting. 

Of course, none of this happens without you (or supporters like you) who care enough to pitch in.

As we mark our 20th anniversary, the work is more urgent than ever. This year, we have a big job: flip the House, take the Senate, and win up and down the ballot at the state and local level.

To mark our 20th year, we’ve set an ambitious goal: 26,000 contributions by Election Day 2026.

Thanks for being part of this fight, and for sticking with us for 20 years (or for just joining — welcome!).

P.S. Over the years, okay, decades, we’ve helped Democrats win tough races all across the country by investing early, intelligently, and strategically. That’s how you flip seats. That’s how you protect democracy. And that’s how you stop the worst impulses of a president who never should have been president in the first place.
