...Putin's ambitions against nations committed to human rights, individual liberty, the rule of law, and pluralism grows.

In the face of Russia's criminal war and atrocities in occupied territories, Trump's halt of military support to Ukraine was a knife in the heart to every American with a conscience.

As if that horrific act were not enough, he enriches and aligns the U.S. with the perpetrators of intolerable crimes against humanity again and again.

The felon and his enablers in Congress must be held accountable for their betrayal of the values generations of Americans have fought for.

Sweep them into the dust bin of history.

And take care with pronouncements that 2026 will be a blow out for Dems. Over-confidence suppresses contributions and suppresses turnout. To win against the billions and conspiracies to corrupt the election, both large and small, we must do whatever we are able to make the turnout for Democratic nominees the absolute largest possible.

If you can, give to state parties NOW. Earlier money to state parties helps build the infrastructure needed for voter outreach and election protection efforts that benefit ALL Democratic candidates. A dollar given early is worth much more than late money!

One way to simultaneously give to AK, FL, IA, ME, and TX is the Hopium Audacious Expansion Fund.

Note: This project reached it's March 31 goal of raising 500,000 in the first quarter. Help them exceed all expectations for the current quarter! (The description on the donation page hasn't kept up with events.)

And give directly to state parties in so-called "hopeless" places like Mississippi. They need our help to break more state legislative super majorities so they can block the corrupt voter suppression agenda being perpetrated across the nation.
