James,
As families struggle to keep up with soaring housing costs, medical bills,
and grocery prices, Donald Trump has turned the White House into a
billionaires’ slush fund – transforming our government into a personal ATM
for himself and his cronies.
Big tech execs, deportation billionaires, and fossil fuel barons are
seeing staggering returns on their political investments. Trump’s personal
fortune has nearly TRIPLED – from $2.3 billion to over $6 billion. This is
not democracy – it’s a hostile corporate takeover.

House
That’s why Our Revolution, together with Rep. Rashida Tlaib, just
introduced our Defund the Oligarchs, Fund the People resolution in
Congress. It calls on Congress to end all corporate tax breaks, subsidies,
and federal contracts for billionaire-backed companies that buy political
influence – and reinvest every dollar in healthcare, housing, education,
and good jobs for ordinary people.

Billionaires RUSHED to pour in money to help elect Trump and his MAGA
backers, knowing the investment would pay off. And they were right. Fossil
fuel billionaires spent $443 million to elect MAGA – and are now
collecting $153bn in new subsidies, tax breaks and royalty giveaways – a
34,437% return on investment. Tech titans spent at least $72 million to
curry favor with Trump – and over the last year tech CEOs like Zuckerberg
and Jeff Bezos have seen their combined net worth soar by $494 BILLION.
Meanwhile, regulatory agencies that are supposed to protect us have been
gutted or turned into profit machines for the powerful. One thing is
clear: the “Trump economy” means rules for the rich and scraps for the
rest.
Enough.
The Defund the Oligarchs resolution is our action plan to take back power
from the billionaire class. It lays out a straightforward principle:
Congress must stop rewarding billionaire-backed companies who buy
political influence – and instead give that money back to the PEOPLE. The
resolution has just been introduced, but now we need to get even more
members of Congress on board. Each citizen co-sponsor gives us more
leverage to demand real action and expose the politicians choosing
oligarchs over their own constituents.
As Our Revolution Executive Director Joseph Geevarghese wrote with Rep.
Tlaib in their recent op-ed: “It’s time to defund the oligarchy and invest
in the American people.”

our resolution, and call on your representatives to sign on today.

As Rashida said on our Defund Oligarchy live national call last night:
"This resolution is an organizing and education tool to name the truth:
our democracy is being sold to the highest bidder. If we want our freedoms
to survive, we have to act with urgency and break oligarch control."
When we organize, we win,
Our Revolution
