Dear John,

Will you support our work in 2026?

We’re gearing up for another year of unprecedented challenges: from new attacks on healthcare and education to unprovoked attacks in Venezuela and who knows what else, your tax dollars will once again be weaponized by this regime. 

We'll show you what they're doing with your tax dollars.

But we need your support to continue this work.

In 2025, we unveiled how your tax dollars were being used to enact the authoritarian agenda of this regime: 

• We showed millions of people how your tax dollars were being used – like the average taxpayer contributing just $446 to food stamps, but $1,430 to Pentagon contractors. 

• We published research showing that Trump’s new deportation force is the equivalent of the 13th largest military force in the world. 
• 
  And we published the most comprehensive cost estimate of the regime’s National Guard deployment to U.S. cities, at a cost of almost half a billion dollars $473 million and counting.

In 2026, we’re poised to confront the country’s first-ever $1 trillion war budget in peacetime; massive cuts to food stamps and healthcare for poor and low-income Americans; and an administration that is willing to risk war for their own purposes. 

We need you with us to keep exposing their abuses of our tax dollars. Will you donate today to support our work?

In peace and solidarity, 

Lindsay & the NPP team
