Right-wing media has become a powerful megaphone for Trump’s war on truth, spreading false claims that undermine democracy and put our well-being at risk. From misleading attacks on Social Security to outright lies about scientific research, this dangerous alliance between Trump and conservative media is fostering a “post-truth” environment that erodes trust in essential programs. In a new op-ed, People For President Svante Myrick breaks down how platforms like X (formerly Twitter) are fueling this crisis and why it’s more important than ever to push back against the lies.

Trump and Musk are dismantling essential services hurting millions of Americans – and they’re getting away with it because too many people are afraid to speak out. While they continue to push their dangerous agenda and line the pockets of billionaires, our communities are left to deal with the fallout. It’s a familiar pattern: reckless decisions with real, harmful consequences – and little accountability.
But we’re not letting it slide. We’re working around the clock to expose the truth, share stories from those impacted, and disrupt their harmful plans. To keep up the fight, we need your help. Tonight is our deadline to raise the funds we need to continue this critical work, and we can’t afford to fall short. If we don’t hit our goal by midnight, our ability to push back will be at risk. Will you help us make it? Donate now >>

This Month
President Trump’s second term has shown how crucial the courts are in upholding the rule of law, as Trump and Elon Musk target vital public services – endangering health, savings, and lives to benefit billionaires – often illegally, bypassing Congress’s authority to eliminate agencies or cut funding, while Trump’s enablers in Congress fail to protect us, leaving the courts as our strongest line of defense.
Elon Musk's recent overreach into federal agencies is sparking a powerful backlash. In a recent op-ed, People For President Svante Myrick exposes Musk's dubious business practices, potential conflicts of interest, and erratic behavior, questioning the wisdom of granting him such authority. Democratic leaders and advocacy groups (like People For) are joining the growing resistance, mobilizing to defend democratic institutions against this unprecedented power grab. Discover how this "tidal wave of resistance" is forming and what it means for the future of our democracy.

House Speaker Mike Johnson claims there's “euphoria” among voters, but GOP lawmakers seem to be telling a different story by dodging town halls and avoiding their own constituents. As public outrage grows over Trump’s harsh budget cuts and far-right policies, Republicans are ducking the tough questions and keeping their distance. This gap between what GOP leaders are saying and how they’re actually engaging with voters speaks volumes – and it’s only fueling more frustration.
Tell Us Your Story: How Have Trump and Musk’s Reckless Decisions Impacted You?
President Trump and unelected billionaire Elon Musk are making reckless decisions that are upending lives across the country, slashing funding, and gutting essential services that millions of Americans rely on. Congressional Republicans are standing by and letting it happen, putting loyalty to Trump and Musk above their duty to the people they were elected to serve. These cuts aren’t just headlines – they’re personal. Maybe you lost your job, your child’s school lost funding, or your local hospital saw critical resources cut. Perhaps you’re a veteran who can no longer access medical care, a researcher whose project was defunded, or a worker watching job protections disappear while billionaires get richer.
If Trump and Musk’s decisions have impacted your life, we need to hear from you. We’ve launched a story collection effort to amplify the voices of those directly affected by their dangerous agenda. Sharing your story can help hold Trump, Musk, and their enablers in Congress accountable and ensure they can’t hide the harm they’ve caused. Every voice matters, so if you know someone who has also been affected, please share this opportunity with them. Together, we’ll make sure these stories are heard.
We encourage you to share as many details as you feel comfortable, and we truly appreciate your willingness to do so.

As we face a growing wave of authoritarianism and anti-democratic forces, it has never been more critical to secure the future of our democracy and the progressive values that are under attack by right-wing extremists. One way to join this cause is through estate planning to protect the people and things you love, safeguard your assets, and secure a brighter future for our country.
Despite the value of planning, the process is often inaccessible, overwhelming, and expensive — especially to historically disenfranchised communities. That's why we are excited to announce our new partnership with FreeWill so that our supporters can create their wills, and plan their estates at NO cost to you.
