The attack on Charlie Kirk is disgusting, vile, and reprehensible.

In the United States of America, we must reject political violence in EVERY form.

Trump's use of red state National Guards in DC is really about viciously turning Americans against each other, about stoking hate and violence *among Americans.* JB Pritzker's response is so good because it lays *this* bare.

We can win back control of Congress and stop Republicans from rubberstamping Trump’s extreme authoritarian agenda. It requires winning elections in 2025 and 2026 and laying the groundwork for winning in 2028.

Today, we’re announcing six key endorsements that are essential Democratic wins.
