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.[1]
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.[2] 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.[3]
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.[4] 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. Donate now to fight the MAGA budget, defend our courts, and protect our 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.
Rush a donation now to power the fight against the MAGA agenda and defend what matters most. >>
Thank you for fighting alongside us,
– People For the American Way
