John, just over 40 days into his presidency, Donald Trump gave a joint address to Congress last night to make his vision clear: theft, plain and simple.

Alongside Elon Musk and a Cabinet occupied by more billionaires than ever before, they're hell-bent on stealing everything from working-class Americans to line their own pockets. His vision for the U.S. is to sell the last pieces of our democracy to his richest friends. It's called kleptocracy.

Killing thousands of federal workers' jobs and defunding Medicaid, Social Security, and food assistance to fund trillions in tax cuts for billionaires and corporations. At home and abroad, his only vision is selling out ordinary people to the highest bidder. That’s the only expertise Elon Musk brings.

Their commitment to enriching themselves and their ultra-wealthy cronies by any means necessary will cost millions of people their homes, health, jobs, and food.

We’re already seeing children dying of starvation while aid rots in warehouses, seniors rationing life-saving medication, and Palestinians being expelled from the tiny areas of their homeland not already annexed by Israel — just so Trump can build a Trump Hotel in Gaza and make himself millions.

Their greed knows no bounds. As Republicans bow down to his Congressional power grabs, corporate Democrats are asleep at the wheel. What we don't need is a Party that believes the right response to Trump is to look back fondly on the Reagan administration and Republican leadership during the Cold War as inspiration.

We need better, bolder leaders to fight back against Trump and the billionaires running BOTH parties, and stand up for all of us. As we speak, Justice Democrats is actively recruiting those progressive, working-class leaders to run for Congress in districts across the country: will you directly fuel our work with a grassroots donation of any amount today?
