Annie Comes Home: Who’s going to stand up to this?

Who’s going to stand up to this?

Just about every day, courts are determining that Trump's domestic troop deployments are as illegal as they are unpopular, Pamela.

Trump has been forced to scale back his attempted takeover time and time again, after a Tennessee judge blocked state National Guard deployments in Memphis, a federal judge ruled Trump's DC deployment unlawful, a federal court ruled Trump's use of soldiers in Los Angeles illegal, and the courts stalled deployments in Chicago and Portland.[1]

But with his back against the wall, Trump is forging ahead. The latest? Plans to deploy troops to New Orleans before the end of the year. Now, we need to escalate our tactics to stop him.

With reports that nearly half a BILLION dollars has already been spent on domestic deployments, it's time to uncover the truth about how many taxpayer dollars Trump has burned through to pay for this intimidation campaign.

Will you join members of Congress in pressuring the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) to reveal the truth?

Send CBO an urgent message to demand an immediate, independent investigation into the actual cost of Trump's troop deployments.

ACT NOW

Trump's orders are unnecessary, unjustified, and increasingly being ruled illegal by various courts. They're also not making our communities safer.

Servicemembers themselves are urgently asking, "who's going to stand up to this?" Meanwhile, experts estimate that Trump's occupations have already cost the public $473 million.[2] We deserve a full investigation into how much money is being spent to deploy the National Guard into our cities — the findings of which can help derail these already-unpopular domestic deployments for good.

While taxpayers foot this staggering bill, Trump and Republicans wasted no time slashing more than $1 trillion from Medicaid and SNAP, critical programs that actually protect families.

That's why 12 Democratic senators, including Elizabeth Warren and Tammy Duckworth, have demanded that the Congressional Budget Office conduct a full, independent assessment of the actual cost of deploying U.S. troops in our communities.

Uncovering the mounting costs creates a political environment so toxic that even Trump can't afford to extend these deployments further. Will you join the fight for transparency by sending a message today?

Join tens of thousands of activists in calling for a full investigation into the costs of Trump's deployments so we can uncover the truth and halt his "war from within."

As Sen. Duckworth put it plainly: "If Donald Trump is burning through hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars on his authoritarian campaign of intimidation, the American people deserve to know about it."[2]

Let's get the answers we deserve.

P.S. The Trump administration's reckless and unauthorized strikes off the Latin American coast and recent Executive Order declaring fentanyl a "weapon of mass destruction" have set us on a dangerous path. We know what happens when presidents make unsubstantiated claims about WMDs. Join us to call on Congress to pass a War Powers Resolution that stops Trump's warmongering in its tracks.
