Stormy Daniels received a check from Michael Cohen for $130,000. To shut up. Cohen also paid $50,000 to Trump’s doorman who had (bogus) information on a supposed love child Trump fathered. Trump reimbursed Cohen, not with a check for $180,000, but for $360,000. That’s because Cohen would have to pay income taxes on the $360,000. Because, you see, he wasn’t being reimbursed for extortion payoffs — he was being paid for “legitimate services” as Trump’s lawyer.

That’s a crime.

They already have seven jurors. The friggin’ trial could start next week! This thing could be over in a matter of six to eight weeks.

Trump says he wants to testify. That’s what he says. I’ll bet his lawyers will have something to say about that. C’mon, Trump. Have some balls. It’ll be your word — the word of Donald Trump, a former president of the United States — against an adult film actress and a Playmate of the Year.  

Who would 12 objective jurors believe? A former president or an adult film star and a Playboy model?

Midwest Values PAC will cash the check when he’s convicted.

Unless he’s acquitted. In which case we’ll cash it then.

Either way Midwest Values PAC will use your generous contributions to support operations that are going to move the needle in critical battleground states in 2024. Just yesterday, we were on the phone with a group that focuses on training Native American candidates and turning out the vote in Native communities. This is what we need your dollars for!

P.S. In the case of a hung jury, we will also cash your check.

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.

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.
