Friend,

Some of Donald Trump’s new cabinet nominees have been announced – and
they’re as extreme as we feared. Each choice represents a step backward, a
calculated attempt to dismantle the rights and protections we hold dear.
These are extremists dedicated to pushing the most dangerous corners of
Trump’s agenda.

With your support, we can mount strong challenges to each of these
nominees, but it will take our collective action to make sure they don’t
succeed in unraveling our progress.

[ [link removed] ]People For is preparing to fight the confirmation of these dangerously
unqualified nominees and the disastrous Trump agenda over the next four
years but we need your help. Please rush a donation today to support our
efforts in resisting Trump! >>

Here’s a closer look at who Trump wants in power and the threats they
pose:

* Matt Gaetz, Attorney General: Ethically challenged, virulently
anti-immigrant and anti-LGBTQ, known for his attempts to undermine
justice, and shield political allies, Gaetz’s appointment would put
the integrity of the Department of Justice at risk, where he would no
doubt weaponize it into a tool for suppressing dissent and promoting
partisan attacks.
* Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Secretary of Health & Human Services: Notorious
anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist and Trump supporter RFK Jr. has been
nominated to lead the federal agency tasked with overseeing the
nation's food safety and health. It’s a move that has alarmed public
health and safety experts and could jeopardize our ability to quickly
respond to future public health threats.
* Pete Hegseth, Secretary of Defense: A Wall Street banker turned combat
veteran turned FOX News commentator, Hegseth would bring extreme
ideologies to the Pentagon – including his out-of-touch views claiming
that women and transgender troops shouldn’t be allowed to serve,
compromising military integrity and readiness. Hegseth also
successfully lobbied Trump during his first term to pardon
servicemembers accused of war crimes.
* Kristi Noem, Secretary of Homeland Security: Lacking any real
qualifications (aside from her blind loyalty to Trump), Noem is known
for her strong anti-immigrant views and would be tasked with carrying
out Trump’s extreme immigration plans which have included threats of
immigrant detention camps and mass deportations.
* John Ratcliffe, Director of the CIA: Ater facing bipartisan rejection
for the role of Director of National Intelligence during Trump’s first
term, Ratcliffe’s history of downplaying foreign interference and
promoting conspiracy theories could endanger U.S. intelligence. With
him at the CIA, we face the prospect of compromised national security
and politicized intelligence gathering.
* Lee Zeldin, EPA Chief: Zeldin’s opposition to environmental
protections would devastate the Environmental Protection Agency. His
leadership would likely roll back critical protections, accelerating
pollution and endangering public health.

Each of these choices could bring serious consequences, not only weakening
the agencies they lead but also advancing Trump’s regressive and dangerous
vision for America. We must come together to block these nominations and
protect the rights and freedoms at stake.

Your donation today will help us:

* Build public opposition and lobby the Senate to reject these nominees
* Strengthen our advocacy efforts to defend the agencies protecting our
rights
* Stand resilient against the dangerous vision of Trump’s administration
