This past week, the DNC launched a nationwide billboard campaign highlighting Trump’s attacks on rural Americans’ health care and hospitals. House Republicans’ disastrous billionaire-first budget is a massive betrayal of their constituents, leaving hospitals at risk of shutting down and ripping away access to critical medical care from millions of rural families. Ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, the DNC will make sure Americans know exactly who is to blame when their hospital closes down.

This week, the DNC turned up the pressure on the spineless Republicans who are aiding and abetting the Trump administration’s cover-up of the Epstein files — turning their backs on the millions of Americans who demand transparency from their government. The DNC’s latest digital campaign aims to expose Trump and his MAGA loyalists in Congress as the cowardly liars they are. Across several social media platforms — including conservative spaces — users in Wisconsin will be greeted with ads urging them to call their Republican representative’s office and demand the release of the Epstein files.

This Thursday, hundreds of Texas Democrats, including Beto O’Rouke and Texas Representative James Talarico, assembled at the Texas Capitol to rally against the GOP’s corrupt power grab and gerrymandering plot. Instead of standing up for the victims of the Kerr County floods, Governor Greg Abbott is offering Texas up as a testing ground for Republicans to rig congressional maps because they can’t win the midterms in a fair match. Texas Democrats have — and will continue to – organize across the state to demand fair maps and push back against Trump and Republicans’ blatant attack on Texas voters.

While natural disasters ravage the country, Trump’s budget is slashing over $1 billion for those in dire need of relief and aid, while Secretary Noem is taking a wrecking ball to FEMA. Together, they have abandoned millions of Americans in desperate need of lifesaving resources and crippled our disaster recovery abilities with no plan to rebuild them. Make no mistake: Americans are less safe because of Trump’s reckless slash and burn agenda.
