  • From the Desk of Al Franken

YEESH!

It’s been the worst 100 days since William Henry Harrison.

Frankly, I fear what news will come out of the White House each day. While Donald Trump can be erratic, he’s been following the Project 2025 playbook pretty closely — which is impressive considering he said he never even read it!

The markets cratered following Trump’s ridiculous tariffs plan. Immigrants’ rights are being violated (with court decisions being blatantly ignored). DOGE continues to steadily cripple key government agencies, including the USAID and Social Security. Ukraine’s future is in peril. And most recently, they’ve dismissed the hundreds of scientists working on the National Climate Assessment.

Yeesh. And that’s just the beginning.

But Americans aren’t too happy about it. At this point in his presidency, Trump has the lowest polls of any President in the modern era.

So, what’s the positive here, Al? 

Well, we have more than a fighting chance to take back the House in 2026 and stand up to Trump’s dangerous agenda. But that also means that Midwest Values PAC needs your help.

It’s hard to believe that the next 100 days could be anywhere near as destructive, but I wouldn’t count that out.

P.S. There are now 1,361 days left under Trump. With all of his disasters, I have enough material to write you an email a day. But don’t worry, you won’t receive 1,361 more emails from me. So, please make this one count and…

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.
