Friend,
In a chilling address today to America’s generals, Donald Trump openly described U.S. cities as “training grounds” for the military and called it “a war from within.”
Speaking directly to hundreds of the nation’s top military officers, Trump singled out Democratic-led cities like Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York – painting them as enemy territory to be “straightened out one by one.” For decades, presidents respected the constitutional boundary between politics and the military. Trump shattered it today, pushing his authoritarian vision into new and dangerous territory.
At the very same time, Republicans in Congress are showing exactly how far they will go to enable him. At midnight tonight, the government will shut down – because Republicans refuse to fund health care and essential services while protecting billions in tax breaks for billionaires.
Trump’s threats and the GOP’s chaos are not isolated. They are two sides of the same agenda: to dismantle democracy, to undermine trust in our institutions, and to keep power concentrated in the hands of the few while families across the country pay the price. And while Trump threatens to use the military as a political weapon, he continues filling the courts with judges who will rubber-stamp his abuses of power for generations.
That’s why tonight’s fiscal year-end deadline matters so much. People For is exposing Trump’s abuses of power in real time. We are mobilizing to hold Republicans accountable for their dysfunction. And we are preparing for the midterm elections, when millions of voters will have the chance to change the balance of power in Congress and block Trump’s authoritarian agenda.
Your contribution tonight doesn’t just close a budget gap. It powers voter outreach in key districts, supports campaigns to mobilize voters, and strengthens the coalition we need to flip seats in Congress next year. With your help, we can take this fight from the headlines into the ballot box – where it matters most.
But we can only do it if we close our gap by midnight tonight. Falling short would weaken our ability to meet this moment. Meeting our goal means entering the new year strong, organized, and ready to act.
Make your contribution before midnight tonight. Every dollar helps us shine a spotlight on Trump’s threats, confront Republican extremism, defend the courts, and mobilize voters in the elections that will shape our future.

Trump is casting our cities as battlefields. Republicans are shutting down the government to protect billionaires. But we know the truth: our democracy is strongest when millions of people stand together for freedom, equality, and justice.
We have until midnight to prove it. Let’s meet this test together.
Thank you,
People For the American Way
