President Obama is CALLING OUT Trump for his hypocrisy and his attacks on our government. And he’s absolutely right!

If President Obama had done ANY of the things that Trump is getting away with, such as…

🔴 Attacking the free press

🔴 🔴 Cutting critical programs like Medicare and Social Security

🔴 🔴 🔴 Deploying the military against U.S. citizens…

Trump’s MAGA followers would be outraged!!

We’re grateful President Obama is calling Trump and MAGA exactly what they are — hypocrites.

Sign your name to thank President Obama for standing up to Trump and his awful agenda >>

The Collective PAC

The Collective PAC is strategically focused on creating a truly equitable democracy where our nation’s local, state, and federal governments have diverse and talented elected leadership, and Black people are fully represented in positions of power to create the policies necessary to progress our communities forward. Since our inception in 2016, we have helped 110 candidates win general elections at the local, state, and federal levels. We strive to support the next wave of progressive and unapologetic Black candidates who will usher in a sea of change in our political system while helping America fulfill its promise of democracy by creating a government that will truly be for the people and of the people.

Folks,

Republican Rep. Clay Higgins tried to censure me—to shame me on the House floor and strip me of my committee—all for doing my job.

And, you know what, he FAILED.

I stood my ground. And we showed Republicans that when we stand together, we stand strong.

This is a victory, but the fight isn’t over. Not by a long shot.

STAND WITH US >>

They will keep trying to silence me and attack me—they have literally charged me with crimes for doing my job. And I will keep standing up and fighting back. Because I know what’s right.

It’s not lost on me that Republicans tried to throw me off of the committee charged with doing oversight of DHS—all for doing oversight of DHS. But this is about more than me. It is about how far the Republican Party will put themselves out on a limb to serve Donald Trump and his cruel agenda.

They tried to shame me. They failed, and they will keep failing because I won’t fold. Not now, not ever.

But I need you with me RIGHT NOW. This is just the beginning of the work we have ahead.

We were able to fight back this time, but we know that the Trump administration won’t stop trying to punish me for doing my job to hold them accountable. That’s why they’re continuing on with their baseless legal battle and charges against me.

They are taking me to court, and we need to amass the resources to mount a legal defense against this administration. Can I count on you to pitch in to The Collective PAC and me to help us keep fighting back? We need to raise $13,194 to reach our goal, so we can counter Republicans' latest attacks. Every gift is a huge help.

I'll never apologize for doing the people's work. Thank you for standing with me as the Trump administration and its allies try everything they can to silence my voice.

You can help me fight back by chipping in to The Collective PAC and me to help us close our $13,194 budget gap.

We're in this together,

LaMonica

SUPPORT OUR TROOPS

HONOR OUR HEROES

USO Supporter,

On this day 24 years ago, 2,977 people lost their lives in an attack on American soil. On this National Day of Service and Remembrance, we honor their memory and thank all those who courageously answered the call to serve — on that dark day and in the years that followed.

In the years following 9/11, thousands of brave Americans enlisted in the Armed Forces. They made life-changing sacrifices: leaving behind loved ones, setting aside personal ambitions, and risking their lives to protect the freedoms we hold dear.

We are grateful for friends like you who value and appreciate those who serve in the United States Armed Forces. We can never repay them, but together, we can make sure they receive the gratitude and respect they deserve.

To those who served, or who have loved ones who bravely stepped forward when our nation needed them, we thank you. We honor their service and sacrifice today, tomorrow and always.

Never Forget,

J.D. Crouch II

CEO & President, USO

P.S. As you reflect on this anniversary of 9/11, please consider sending your support to the men and women who are deployed around the world right now, defending our freedoms.
