What has the GOP been doing to address our country’s crises? Restricting voting, charging an 8% USPS fee, putting Trump’s face on a 24K gold coin, and building a ballroom.

Danielle,

There are plenty of real issues where we need our government to take action right now. Like preventing a massive global conflict. Or bringing down the cost of housing and groceries. Or fixing our health care system.

But instead of getting to work for the American people, Trump and his MAGA buddies have been advancing their out-of-touch agenda. Here are just a few of their recent big ideas:

Prevent American citizens from voting by passing the "SAVE" Act to rig the midterms.
Ask Congress for $200 billion — and even charge Americans a new 8% fee for sending mail with the USPS — pay for his illegal war in Iran.
Put Trump's face on a 24K gold coin and add his signature to paper currencies — while families struggle every day to afford groceries and gas.
Refuse to fund TSA and unleash chaos in our airports so that ICE can continue terrorizing our communities.
Build a $400 million, gold-encrusted White House ballroom into a corruption magnet — where billionaires and corporations can buy anonymous access.

I've got four words for them: Not on my watch.

I'm fighting back against MAGA Republicans to put a stop to this unprecedented corruption, protect our basic freedoms, and put our government on the side of working people, not the rich and powerful.

And before tonight's FEC fundraising deadline, I want to ask if you can pitch in to support our campaign. Why? Because the special interests we're fighting against will dig into our public fundraising report to evaluate the strength of our campaign. This is our chance to prove that their agenda is extremely unpopular — and there's a strong grassroots movement fighting to stop them.

If it makes sense for you right now, can you chip in $100 or any amount before midnight tonight to power this movement, fight back against the GOP's extremist agenda, and make our government work for working people?
