Welcome to the May 24 edition of our partner newsletter!
“While we were sleeping, Republicans f*cked us all over—just to hand huge tax breaks to a small group of the ultra-rich. It’s cruel. It’s crazy. But it’s simple: no health care or food for you so they can buy another yacht, plane, or whatever the hell else.” — Vice Chair of the DNC Malcolm Kenyatta

Find more ways to fight the big billionaire bailout here.
“We all have to be very clear the MAGA murder budget does plenty of ‘f*cking around’ with this crucial health program, and 7.6 million middle-income and working Americans are set to ‘find out’ and become uninsured to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. The worst price will be paid by children and seniors in nursing homes who rely on this program. And that’s just the beginning — in total 14 million people will lose health insurance coverage under the MAGA murder budget.”

We’ve been talking a lot about cuts to Medicaid, but the contents of the Republican Tax Scam bill and their implications go way beyond those devastating cuts to health care. Billionaires don’t need ANY MORE HELP in America.

“Trump has waged war on the Constitution and the rule of law. Now, we're fighting back!
“In the time since his second inauguration, Trump has carried out an assault on the rule of law, on the checks and balances of power between our co-equal branches of government, and on the United States Constitution. He has committed multiple abuses of power in violation of clear constitutional commands and at the expense of our democratic institutions, constitutional precedent, and the health and safety of all of our people, especially the most vulnerable. Congress must take action.”
RSVP here. Tuesday, June 3, 7:30 PM EST.
Protectors of Equality in Government in Michigan suggests using gratitude to encourage Republicans who do the right thing.
“Former Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger said it would only take a couple of Republicans to defect to begin the end of this administration.
“With Senator Murkowski voicing her fear of going against the administration it is a great opportunity to tell her that she is not the only one who is afraid. Send her and Senator Collins a handwritten postcard telling them that if they make a stand as other fearful Americans are doing, she will be overwhelmingly supported and admired for her courage.”
Here are the addresses for both senators:
Senator Collins, 68 Sewall St., Room 507, Augusta, ME, 04330Senator Murkowski, 510 L Street, Suite 600, Anchorage, AK 99501
Keep your message positive—here are some samples:
You are not alone in your fear. There are millions of Americans who are afraid too who will support you if you make a stand for the rule of law, the constitution and for what is morally right. We need a heroine right now! Please be our heroine, put country before party!
It would only take you and a couple of your Republican colleagues to stop this madness. Millions of Americans would cheer you on. We are with you! Have courage, change the course of history, and put country before party!
Please make a stand, put country before party and begin to end the madness. Millions of Americans will support you. Have faith and courage!
Use your state and zip code for the return address.
The Tipping Point, part of the Civic Shout activist network, is urging us to call our reps and tell them to oppose cuts to historic clean energy initiatives.
“Republican leaders in Congress are once again trying to gut the Inflation Reduction Act’s (IRA) clean energy investments as a part of Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill.’ If they succeed, much of the progress we have made in transitioning to clean energy could be wiped out.”
Call your reps and tell them to oppose cuts to vital programs.
Sample call script:
"Hi. My name is Jeffrey and I'm calling to ask that Representative _____ oppose any cuts to the Inflation Reduction Act's programs that are supporting clean energy jobs and addressing climate change. These programs have created hundreds of thousands of jobs and are helping to lower energy costs for ratepayers like me. Please oppose any attempts to weaken the programs made possible by the Inflation Reduction Act. Thank you.”
Deepak at Democracy Labs shared a post—48 Fatal Plane Crashes in 2025: Mapping the Deadly Skies Under Sean Duffy.
In 2025, the United States experienced a sharp rise in fatal aviation accidents, with 48 crashes and at least 159 deaths—marking the deadliest year in recent history. President Trump fired FAA Administrator Michael Whitaker, dismantled key safety committees, and implemented federal hiring freezes, leaving air traffic control understaffed.
Call your Republican rep. and tell them your life is worth more than Elon Musk's greed and political donations to the GOP.
Rockland County Democrats in Georgia sent a note of congratulations to the graduating class of 2025!
Editor’s note: Remember, our academic institutions are under attack and at serious risk of losing funding:
Use 5 Calls and say: “I’m calling to demand that [REP/SEN NAME] strongly oppose Trump's executive order to dismantle the Department of Education.”
Left Click reminds us that despite everything that’s happening, we still need to fight gun violence.
“As of May 2025, the United States has experienced 117 mass shootings, resulting in 155 deaths and 434 injuries. …
”Measures such as universal background checks, red flag laws, and restrictions on assault weapons are widely supported and have the potential to save lives. So what are we waiting for?”
Send a letter to your representatives today demanding immediate action on gun safety legislation.
Together, we can work toward a safer future.
DemCast is proud to partner with groups around the country for the NO KINGS National Day of Mobilization.
On June 14—Flag Day—Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday, a spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington; it rises up everywhere else.
NO KINGS is a national day of action and mass mobilization in response to the increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption of the Trump administration.
Register here.
Use this toolkit to share the event on your social media accounts!
Editor’s note: DemCast rarely posts fundraising efforts, but we are making an exception for the Missouri communities that were devastated by the St. Louis tornado on May 16.
“This week, we send our deepest condolences to the families of those we lost during the recent tornado in the St Louis area. These folks were friends, neighbors, and community members — and their loss is deeply felt. Our thoughts are also with those injured or displaced by this devastating event”.
Donate to Action St. Louis to help those affected by the tornadoes here in Missouri.
Wishing President Biden a speedy recovery.
