I wanted to make sure you saw J.D.'s message inviting you to join thousands of other military supporters in honoring our troops ahead of September 11th.
As we look back on this unforgettable moment in our nation's history, it is so important to show our support and gratitude for the brave heroes sacrificing so much every day to keep us safe and free.
Please, will you take a moment to sign the thank-you card honoring our troops ahead of the upcoming anniversary of 9/11? Here's the best link: action.uso.org/2209_911
Thank you for standing with our troops — today and always.

Subject: As we remember 9/11, will you join the USO in thanking our military heroes?
Mary, the upcoming anniversary of September 11 holds great significance for so many Americans. Most of us can tell you exactly where we were that fateful morning — the shock we experienced as we watched what at first seemed to be a terrible accident, and the horror that set in as we realized it was a premeditated attack.
In the fear and uncertainty that followed that devastating day, our heroes in uniform courageously answered the call to protect our country. There's no way we could ever fully thank them for their bravery, but it's our duty to do the best we can.
That's why the USO is aiming to collect at least 181,510 signatures on a thank-you card for our troops before Sunday — one signature for every service member who enlisted in the year following 9/11.
Please, will you take a moment to add your name today to let our troops know how grateful we are for their continued service and sacrifice?
I know something as simple as signing a card might seem small, but here at the USO, we see firsthand every day how meaningful it is for our troops to feel appreciated by folks back home as they risk their lives for us. This anniversary is a powerful reminder of why our troops serve and what they're protecting — that's why it couldn't be more important to show your support.
Please, if you have a moment, sign the USO's card to thank our military heroes in honor of the anniversary of September 11. As they serve, putting themselves in harm's way far from their homes and loved ones, this is one small way we can show them how much we appreciate their service.
Thank you so much for helping me show support for our country's service members ahead of this important day.

BAD NEWS on the fight for Senate control, friend: | Donald Trump came out to Nevada to campaign for Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto's (D) extremist opponent – and The Hill is now reporting Nevada could cost Democrats their Senate majority! | This comes after $15 million worth of attack ads from Mitch McConnell's super PAC went LIVE on TVs across Nevada. | If we don't turn this around RIGHT NOW, we lose the Senate majority – and we're falling short of our critical emergency goal. Thankfully, a group of generous donors extended their offer to TRIPLE MATCH every donation up to our $50,000 goal, so we're counting on every member of this grassroots team – including you – to help us hit this goal, fight back and protect Nevada's Senate seat! | If we lose Nevada, Democrats lose control of the Senate. If we lose, we hand Mitch McConnell Senate control: Please, rush $5 (becomes $15) or more right now to help defend Nevada's critical seat and our Senate majority. | If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: |

| | | Friend,
Want to know how I first got into politics? I was recruited to run for Congress while serving as the president of my synagogue.
Looking back, although it seems a bit unconventional, it's incredibly fitting that leading Nevada’s largest synagogue was my entry point to public service. My Jewish faith and values are at the very core of so much of my work in the Senate today. In fact, my decision to run for public office in the first place was guided by the Jewish principle of Tikkun Olam – which means to leave the world a better place than how we found it. | Now, as both the third Jewish woman senator in U.S. history and the only former synagogue president in the Senate, I'm proud that my faith tradition helps guide my service to Nevada and our country.
I firmly believe that if everybody stands firm and does their part to help better this world, we can move mountains to make positive change happen. As we face everything from growing antisemitism to attacks on abortion rights and threats to tear down our very democracy, there's never been a more crucial time for us to come together, roll up our sleeves, and make a difference. | So if the principle of Tikkun Olam resonates with you – if you're with me in the fight to make real progress for our country – I hope you'll chip in $5 or more today to help me continue this critical work in the Senate. | Whenever we have the opportunity to stand up and make progress for the people we love and for our communities, we should. Thank you so much for helping me do that today.

| | | | | Friend – after consecutive polls showed Catherine Cortez Masto trailing her right-wing opponent, Mitch McConnell's super PAC went LIVE with a $15 million ad blitz attacking Catherine.
Senate control hinges on Nevada – but, right now, this must-win race is closer than ever. That's why Catherine urgently needs you to take advantage of this TRIPLE-MATCH opportunity before it expires to pull ahead. >> | With The Washington Post reporting that Mitch McConnell sees Nevada as the GOP’s best opportunity to flip a seat from red to blue, Republicans are going ALL IN attacking Catherine. Everybody from Ted Cruz to Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump have held right-wing rallies with her extremist opponent. | The ONLY way we can turn this around is for grassroots Democrats like YOU to chip in NOW to have your gift TRIPLED toward Catherine's emergency $50,000 match goal. But we just checked our records, and we're still MISSING your gift: | | Please, friend, if you care about defending the Senate from GOP extremists like Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump, rush $5 or more NOW to have your gift go THREE TIMES AS FAR up to our $50,000 goal to protect this must-win seat. | Donald Trump is personally holding MAGA rallies in Nevada to attack Catherine. And far-right megadonors are lining up to buy this seat and flip the Senate. If we let the GOP continue to outspend us in Nevada, it's going to cost us this race and our Senate majority. | As the first Latina ever elected to the U.S. Senate, Catherine is no stranger to tough fights. But now The New York Times, CNN, FiveThirtyEight, the Cook Political Report and other experts ALL say that she is one of the most vulnerable senators in the entire country, and she cannot defend this seat without your support. | Catherine is counting on you to triple-match a gift before midnight, so please, with Senate control on the line, will you rush $5 or more now to have it TRIPLED to help her fight back against the GOP's attacks and defend our Democratic Senate majority? | If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: | Thanks for your support, Team Cortez Masto |

Today, Michelle and I returned to the White House together for the first time since leaving office, to join President and Dr. Biden in unveiling our official portraits. These portraits have a special significance, because they will hang in the White House alongside portraits of other presidents and first ladies dating back to George and Martha Washington. So it was important to find the right people to paint them. I’m so pleased with the work that Sharon Sprung did to capture everything I love about Michelle, while Robert McCurdy took on a more difficult subject and did a fantastic job with mine. Learn more about their work. Presidents often get airbrushed, even take on a mythical status—especially after you’re gone and people forget all the stuff they didn’t like about you. But what you realize sitting behind that desk, and what I want people to remember about Michelle and me, is that presidents and first ladies are human beings, just like everyone else. I’ve always described the presidency as a relay race. You take the baton from someone, run your leg as hard as you can, then hand it off to someone else. The portraits hanging in the White House chronicle the runners in that race—each of us tasked with trying to bring the country we love closer to its highest aspirations. When future generations walk through the White House and look at these portraits, I hope they get a better, honest sense of who Michelle and I were. And I hope they leave with a deeper understanding that if we could make it here, they can do remarkable things too. –Barack |

Me again, friend. I had to reach out one more time because our triple-match deadline is just hours away, and I'm still $5,475 short of what we need to raise to fight the $15 million in attack ads Mitch McConnell's super PAC just launched against me. | With Senate control hinging on this race and polling showing us down by 1 point, we cannot afford to waste this incredible opportunity to have every dollar up to my $50,000 goal TRIPLED as Mitch McConnell bombards the Nevada airwaves with his ads attacking me. | This is truly last call, friend, and I've got nowhere else to turn: Will you rush $5 (becomes $15) immediately to help me protect Nevada's must-win seat and our Democratic Senate majority? | ¡La lucha sigue! The fight continues!
Catherine |

| | You're not gonna believe this, friend: I partnered with a group of top Democrats to TRIPLE-MATCH all gifts up to Catherine’s $50,000 emergency goal! | If you’re wondering why I’m doing something this nuts, it's because Mitch McConnell's super PAC just went LIVE with $15 million worth of TV attack ads to defeat Catherine! He's bombarding the Nevada airwaves with lies and smears against Catherine to flip this seat because he knows Senate control depends on it! | What we do RIGHT NOW will decide the future of our country. With the Supreme Court trampling over our rights and pushing an ultra-conservative agenda, the Senate is our LAST line of defense. And I'm telling ya, there ain't no chance in hell we can defend the Senate if Catherine loses in Nevada! | CNN is calling Catherine the most vulnerable Democrat in the country, and if Catherine misses this emergency goal to fight these attack ads that are LIVE AS I WRITE TO YOU, our chances of holding the Senate are dead. | That’s why I’m counting on you to rush a TRIPLE-MATCHED donation to help Catherine fight back and SAVE our Senate majority. I need YOU to join me in the fight at this critical moment! | If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: | This is THE most important Senate race in the entire country. Your triple-matched gift in this very moment could tip the scales in this race. Please, don’t let our democracy or your country down.
Thanks for stepping up.
