Yesterday marked 100 days since Donald Trump marched back into the White House, John.
So what does he have to show for it?
This period has been marked by a particularly heavy degree of incompetence, chaos, and cruelty.
From the mass firing of federal workers, to giving Elon Musk a free hand to gut our government, to outright illegal actions such as attempting to end birthright citizenship and deporting American citizens, these past 100 days have felt more like 100 years.
Fortunately, the resistance to Trump and the far-right is growing and increasingly getting louder and harder to ignore.
From nationwide protests to courts blocking some of Trump’s most dangerous initiatives, people everywhere are starting to stand up against the hostile takeover of our government.
But the groups and organizations who are doing the real and necessary work day in and day out need your support to help them forge on. Can you pitch in $5 right now to these grassroots organizations who are taking the lead on fighting Trump 2.0?
Even though he started his second term with a 50 percent approval rating, this honeymoon period wasn’t to last.
The latest CNN national poll has him down to 41 percent. Two other polls from the Associated Press and The Washington Post/ABC News have him under 40 percent — lower than any other president at their 100 day mark.
And despite campaign promises to “fix the economy”, the economy is now teetering on the edge of a recession, due in part to Trump's reckless tariffs. All the while, working communities across the country continue to bear the brunt of Trump’s reactionary agenda.
With Democrats currently locked out of power in Washington, it’s key that we build the resources needed to regain the momentum and the support and trust of the people. It’s the only way we’re going to build the winning coalition we’ll need to retake power from MAGA extremists.
But we can't do it without your support, John. So if you're able to, please chip in $5 or just a few dollars today to help our movement continue to fight back.
In solidarity,
