Friend,

It’s a pattern that’s impossible to ignore.

Trump and Congressional Republicans have proposed another brutal budget –
gutting Medicaid, slashing nutrition assistance, and attacking essential
programs working people rely on every day – all while protecting Trump-era
tax cuts for billionaires and corporations.^[ [link removed] ]

And they’re not stopping at budget cuts. They’re using this moment to try
to quietly rewrite the rules of our democracy.

Tucked into the budget bill is a provision designed to prevent federal
courts from issuing nationwide injunctions – a move that would make it
harder to challenge unlawful or unconstitutional actions by the Trump
administration and its allies.^[ [link removed] ] That means as the Trump administration
continues targeting vulnerable communities or breaks the law, it could be
far harder for courts to stop it.

This isn’t just budget manipulation – it’s a dangerous power grab.

And while working families are being told to do more with less, Trump and
his inner circle are reaping the benefits of public office.

Trump just accepted a luxury private jet from the Qatari government –
allegedly for use as Air Force One, but with plans to transfer it to his
presidential library after his term ends. In other words, he could keep
using this jet for his own personal benefit even after leaving office.^[ [link removed] ]

Meanwhile, the Trump family’s cryptocurrency – a months-old scheme already
enriching them – may soon be partially owned by a Chinese investment firm
seeking to buy up a significant share.^[ [link removed] ] While MAGA Republicans rant
about China, they’re welcoming foreign investors into the Trump family
grift.

This is what it looks like when public service becomes personal profit.

They’re gutting essential programs for working people while trying to
rewrite the rules to shield themselves from legal accountability.

democracy. >>

Let’s be clear about what’s happening:

* Medicaid, housing, and nutrition programs are on the chopping block
* Tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy remain untouched
* Foreign gifts and shady crypto profits are lining Trump’s pockets
* And MAGA Republicans are trying to rewrite judicial authority to
shield themselves from legal accountability

This isn’t governing. It’s looting – and we cannot let it stand.

We’re mobilizing a nationwide response to expose these power plays, fight
against these cruel cuts, and protect our courts, our democracy, and the
people most at risk. But we can’t do it without your help.
