Republicans might be riding a power high these days, but that doesn't mean the Democrats are only suffering.

Democratic online fundraising organization ActBlue reported this week what it raked in during the first quarter of 2017: $111,329,027.*

That's...a lot. Like, an astonishing amount. For the sake of comparison, over the same period in 2013, they collected just $16,904,456.

Again: $16M in 2013. $111M in 2017. In three months.
