| Jason, Donald Trump is on the brink of dragging us into a war with Iran. Of course, only Congress can declare war. The Constitution is pretty clear about that. But people like Mike Johnson and Ted Cruz are happy bending the knee and forfeiting their power so Trump can do whatever he pleases. These enablers and Trump's cronies talk about mysterious, new information that Iran is on the verge of having a nuclear weapon. Many in the intelligence community say it's not true. I'll let you decide who you trust. Let me be clear about one thing: This crisis is a creation of Trump's own doing. Seven years ago, he ripped up the deal the Obama administration negotiated with Iran, which would have ensured it never got anywhere close to having nuclear weapons. Now, there's a war over it — what a genius. Worse, many on the right hope America will join in, that we send our own men and women to help fight it. I truly hope this doesn't come to pass. Speaking of our military, after Trump and Hegseth held a Soviet-style military parade for the president's birthday, they've now deployed troops to several American cities without the consent of the local leaders — a truly unthinkable position to put our servicemembers in. And for American citizens, it's just another slice of authoritarian dystopia. So who wants to take our country back? Last weekend, 5 million people turned out at rallies across the country to demand it. I saw one report that it was the single largest day of protest in our nation's history. That's one hell of a start. But it's what we do with that energy next that matters more. Taking back our government from Trumpism starts in the streets, but it comes to fruition at the ballot box. Democratic Majority Action's plans are underway, running the data to identify the races in which we can have the biggest impact and help take back the majority. That's my mission, and I need to know who's with me. Before our big FEC deadline, I'm setting a goal of 218 new donations to support this grassroots mission, one for every seat we need to win in Congress — can I count on yours? Amy
