Friend,
Families are paying more for groceries, housing, healthcare, and gas.
Workers are stretching every paycheck further. Millions of people are
wondering whether they will ever be able to buy a home, retire with
dignity, or give their children a more secure future.
So what did Republican leaders offer at their midterm convention in
Dallas?
A fantasy $5,000 check tied to keeping them in power. A loyalty pledge to
Donald Trump. Lies about the election and the economy. Attacks on
immigrants, Muslims, transgender people, and anyone else MAGA believes it
can turn into a political target.
This was the Republican Party’s answer to the very real problems families
are facing.

While millions of people are struggling to make ends meet:
* Trump promised every adult a $5,000 check if Republicans retain
control of Congress. The proposal would cost roughly $1.2 trillion
before interest, and even some Republicans called it an attempt to buy
votes.
* Trump led the crowd in a pledge to “the greatest president in the
history of the United States,” meaning himself. He told supporters to
vote even if they had to “cheat like hell” and warned that people who
failed to vote would “go to hell.”
* JD Vance called Democrats “lunatics,” accused Democratic candidates of
wanting the “total eradication of Western civilization,” and told a
protester waving a Mexican flag to “get your ass over there.”
* Ted Cruz claimed the Democratic Party had been overtaken by
“communists and Islamists” who “hate Christians,” “hate Jews,” “hate
the Constitution,” and “hate America.”
* Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick declared that the election was
not about politics, but a biblical struggle between “darkness” and
“light,” while labeling Democrats communists and socialists.
These statements are atrocious, and we are making sure voters across the
country see exactly what MAGA leaders are saying. Through our Headquarters
accounts on Instagram, TikTok, X, and other platforms, we put these
moments in front of millions of followers, generating millions of views as
we continue exposing the MAGA agenda and the extremist politicians driving
it.
None of what they discussed will make rent more affordable. None of it
will lower the cost of groceries or healthcare. None of it will protect
Social Security, strengthen our democracy, or help working families get
ahead.
But that was never the point.
The MAGA movement does not have answers for the people being hurt by its
policies. It has distractions, scapegoats, impossible promises, and
increasingly extreme demands for loyalty to Donald Trump.
And if Republicans retain control of Congress, they will treat it as
permission to go even further. They will continue shielding Trump from
accountability, attacking our rights and freedoms, and forcing an agenda
that serves their wealthy allies while working people pay the price.
People For is fighting to end MAGA control of Congress, mobilize voters in
the races that will determine the future of our country, and elect leaders
who will defend our rights and put working families first.
But we have less than two months to reach the voters who can decide these
elections, and the MAGA machine is pouring enormous sums into protecting
its power.

voter mobilization work and help defeat the MAGA Congress >>
The spectacle in Dallas may have appeared ridiculous, but the prospect of
giving these extremists another two years of unchecked power is anything
but.
In solidarity,
People For the American Way
