President Donald Trump and the Republicans have full control of our federal government, from Congress to the Supreme Court. The past seven months have not been pretty, but they have been illuminating.
So let’s take a look at how the Republicans have used their power so far, and who’s benefiting:
Healthcare cuts for nearly ten million Americans → Nearly 7.5 million Americans are set to lose Medicaid coverage, and another 2.1 million people will lose ACA coverage.
Want better healthcare for Americans?
Chip in today →
Rising prices → Americans are experiencing rising prices on everything from fuel to health care to food products due to President Trump’s chaotic tariffs.
Want candidates who care about rising costs? So do we.
Let’s fix Congress →
Unlawful and violent immigration raids → U.S. citizens have been wrongfully detained by ICE agents, and law-abiding undocumented immigrants and asylum seekers have been deported to foreign prisons.
Don’t we all deserve due process?
Elect leaders who agree →
Mass layoffs for federal employees and contractors → More than 100,000 members of the federal workforce have been arbitrarily targeted for layoffs, including scientists, public health regulators, and educators.
Want an educated, qualified federal employee base?
Donate to help AWP candidates →
Tax cuts for the rich, at the expense of the poor. Thanks to Trump and the Republicans’ “Big, Beautiful Bill,” individuals making over a million dollars a year will see their taxes decrease. The poorest households will see their taxes raised.
Want billionaires to pay their fair share?

There’s a lot more I could highlight: from Trump and the Republicans’ attacks on the rule of law, to the gutting of our public health agencies, to overt corruption — it truly goes on and on. But here’s the question I really want to ask:
Want Better?
Chip in today.
I sure do. I think we deserve better.
I know a better future is possible — because I’ve seen it! This year, AWP is supporting strong leaders who are dedicated to serving the people, not the billionaires. And because we aren’t big money special interest donors but a collection of regular folks from across the country, it’s on us to fight back by investing in the future we believe in.If you’re able, please chip in a donation of $15 today to help us support and champion the leaders we deserve in DC.
Remember: our future is defined by the actions we take today.
Thank you for standing with us.
