The government shuts down on March 14 unless Congress passes a new spending bill.
Republicans need Democratic votes to pass anything, but instead of negotiating in good faith, they’re pushing a MAGA budget disaster - one that slashes essential programs, attacks basic rights, and hands unchecked power over federal spending to Trump, Elon Musk, and their billionaire allies.
Democrats must not fold. They must hold the line and publicly demand a government funding deal that:
- Rejects extreme funding cuts and MAGA poison pills attacking abortion rights, LGBTQ+ protections, and immigrant communities
- Includes real, ironclad protections to stop Trump and Musk from hijacking federal spending
Until Republicans agree to these terms, Democrats must not support anything beyond a clean, two-week continuing resolution - keeping the government open without giving Trump and Musk a blank check.
And as long as this Trump-Musk coup continues - with DOGE illegally raiding payment systems, trying to shut down federal agencies, and firing federal workers - House Democrats must use every procedural tool available to fight back and delay and defy the Trump agenda. They should hold accountability hearings at every opportunity and subpoena Musk to force Republicans to defend him on the record. This is not business as usual.
Fill out the form (considering adding a personal message!) to send an email to your Democratic representative now demanding they step up and fight.
The email to your Democratic representative:
Dear Representative,
Republicans are pushing a MAGA budget disaster - one that slashes essential programs and hands Trump and Elon Musk the power to override Congress and seize control of government spending. Democrats must not enable this coup.
Please hold the line and publicly demand a government funding deal that:
- Rejects extreme funding cuts and MAGA poison pills attacking abortion rights, LGBTQ+ protections, and immigrant communities
- Includes real, ironclad protections to stop Trump and Musk from hijacking federal spending
Until Republicans agree to those terms, you must not support anything beyond a clean, two-week continuing resolution to keep the government running without letting Trump and Musk take control.
And while Trump and Musk continue their illegal takeover - raiding federal payments, shutting down agencies, and purging civil servants - House Democrats must fight back with every tool they have. That means holding accountability hearings, issuing subpoenas, and using every procedural tool possible to slow, expose, and block this power grab.
Can I count on you to hold the line?
Sincerely,
[Your name]
