I won’t let Trump skate by without opposition

Yesterday, Trump used his joint address to Congress as a bully pulpit to spew division, spread malice, and stoke fear and resentment among Americans. I know our grassroots team will stand strong in the face of everything that Trump and his cronies are throwing at us. Will you join us in the fight by pitching in today to grow our movement?

Here's the truth about Trump's agenda:

  • Candidate Trump promised to lower prices, but President Trump's reckless blanket tariffs will RAISE prices even higher for working families in Oregon and across the country.
     
  • Trump and Musk's illegal firings of federal workers aren't about "efficiency." They're about seizing control, pulling the rug out from under folks, and sowing chaos. Our dedicated federal workers who deliver essential services are heroes. We need to stand with them.
     
  • Trump is eagerly siding with Putin and abandoning Ukrainian democracy. It's just plain wrong, and every patriot who values the rule of law should reject this.
     
  • Trump bragged last night he's going to balance the budget, when in fact his budget resolution vastly increases the deficit, all while Trump and his lackeys try to gut critical programs to use YOUR money to fund tax giveaways for billionaires.

That's the Trump plan: Families lose, billionaires win.

Trump and unelected co-president Elon Musk are waging a full-on administrative authoritarian takeover of our country. Trump's cronies work overtime to stack every room he enters with sycophants to ensure he has no opposition to his lies and dangerous agenda, but I believe every time Trump enters a room, someone should be there to hold him accountable, and that is why I'm present at events like this.

I won't normalize Trump's behavior, and I won't let Trump try to bulldoze us without opposition. I'm standing strong in the fight against Trump, Musk, and their dangerous Project 2025 agenda, and I'm asking you to be a part of our movement.

Will you join me in the fight by pitching in whatever you can to help grow our grassroots movement that will take on Trump and win?
