I hate cleaning.

Please don’t tell Franni I’m writing this. I’m supposed to be straightening up my office while she goes through the living room.

JUSTICE AILEEN CANNON?

If Trump wins in November, I have the feeling that there will be plenty of cash available to finance two retirements of unimaginable luxury.

NOT WEIRD

When I met Tim Walz in 2005, he was campaigning for his first time in the 1st Congressional District of Minnesota. That’s a strip of primarily rural counties — very hard for a Democrat to win.

Elon Musk went from promising Trump $45 million a month, to promising something “at a much lower level,” to denying that he ever promised the money in the first place.

Open before tomorrow!

We are 101 days out from the election! So, you’ll be getting a lot of emails tomorrow. 

Kamala to the Rescue!

Over the last two days, Americans have donated $120 million (and counting) to Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign.

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.

DONATE HERE

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.
