This past July 4 wasn’t just America’s birthday.
It was also the day that Elon Musk’s brainchild, the so-called “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE), officially closed up shop.
Not a moment too soon.
DOGE leaves behind a legacy of chaos and devastation, including an estimated 700,000 deaths so far from cuts to USAID.
Musk once claimed that DOGE could save taxpayers $2 trillion. In the end, federal spending actually increased under DOGE.
And DOGE did lasting damage by supporting the MAGA movement’s assault on democracy:
* Plotting to secretly deliver sensitive voter data to extremists trying to overturn election results — while the Trump administration has tried to seize states’ voter rolls.
* Cutting funding for election security.
* Depleting the Census Bureau’s staff by about 1,500 employees — an agency that needs to be fully ready to conduct a fair count in 2030 and help shape fair maps for the next decade.
At the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, we fight back against MAGA’s attacks on free and fair elections, defend the census from partisan manipulation, and work to make sure that the will of the people prevails — with fair maps and fair access to the ballot box. Donate now to power this democracy-saving work. [[link removed]]
Back in the early days of DOGE last spring, Elon Musk’s political machine dumped tens of millions of dollars into a Wisconsin Supreme Court race to try to affect the Badger State’s redistricting process.
But supporters like you fought back, one grassroots donation at a time — defeating Musk’s handpicked candidate and protecting a pro-democracy majority on the Court.
Musk is spending big again on the 2026 elections in order to lock in unearned power from mid-decade redraws and lay the groundwork for many more.
And up against a concerted effort from the Trump administration, we’re fighting to ensure a fair count in the next census — while we’re also in the middle of a nationwide MAGA redistricting crisis.
We have our work cut out for us to keep defending democracy and undoing the damage that Musk and Trump have done. Will you pitch in a donation today to help elect Democracy Defenders, stop gerrymandering, and ensure free and fair elections? [[link removed]]
