John,

Donald Trump and unelected billionaire Elon Musk have spent months slashing federal funding to the bone, laying off countless workers, and gutting social safety net programs that working class people depend on.

Meanwhile, Trump and his Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth just announced their plans for a $1 trillion Pentagon budget — while still terminating tens of thousands of civilian jobs within the Defense Department.

This is DOGE in a nutshell: taking the largest federal agency budget — which has NEVER passed an audit — and making it even bigger while still somehow cutting thousands of jobs. There’s somehow always money for endless war, but never for things that would improve everyday people’s lives, like Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, or free college education.

On top of that, SpaceX just secured yet another giant government contract through the Pentagon. Cuts for thee, not for me, huh Elon?

This is a continuation of Trump and Musk’s corporate coup, and we need bold Democrats in Congress who will stand up to corporate interests and defend working-class people.

Help us recruit and elect working-class candidates who will stand up against the powerful corporate and pro-war interests while defending Social Security, Medicaid, and our other benefits: pitch in $5 or more to fuel our work.

In solidarity,

Justice Democrats
