I’m throwing down for working people.
John,
I gotta be real with you — Trump’s new budget proposal is a slap in the face to working people all across this country.
At a time when families are struggling just to get by — with sky-high costs for housing, child care, health care, and groceries — Trump wants to gut the very programs that help folks survive… all while handing billions more to weapons contractors and billionaires.
If that makes you as furious as it makes me, click here to chip in whatever you can right now to help me fight back!
Over three-quarters of Trump’s discretionary budget is going to the Pentagon, Homeland Security, and federal policing. Meanwhile, he’s slashing funding for:
- Affordable housing
- Public schools
- Food assistance
- Environmental protections
- Medical research
- And so much more…
Y’all, this isn’t about “fiscal responsibility” — it’s robbery. It’s a transfer of wealth from the people who work the hardest and get the least… to the people who already have everything.
And the wildest part? These same folks love to lecture us about cutting waste and saving taxpayer money — but then they give a blank check to the Pentagon, which has failed seven straight audits and can’t even tell us where billions of our tax dollars went. Seriously.
If Trump was actually serious about helping taxpayers, he’d start by cleaning up that mess — not taking housing, food, and health care away from working families.
Here’s what this could mean for communities across the country:
- Fewer housing vouchers
- Less funding for public schools
- Devastating cuts to health care, environmental protections, and infrastructure
- Reduced investment in small businesses, job training, and public transit
- Fewer medical research jobs — and slower progress on cures for diseases like cancer and Alzheimer’s
That’s the cost of Trump’s budget. And I refuse to sit back and let it happen.
I’ve always said I’m here to throw down for our communities — not for billionaires, not for war profiteers, but for you. The teachers, nurses, bus drivers, parents, kids, and folks who’ve been holding this country together without ever getting the credit or the resources they deserve.
If you’re with me, I need you today. Help me keep fighting like hell in Congress — and help us build the kind of grassroots campaign that can take on the billionaires and win! Click here to pitch in $5, $10, or whatever you can today!

Thanks for being in this with me. The stakes are high, but so is our people power. Let’s go!
Always in this fight with you,
Summer Lee
