How We're Fighting Trump

All in one place

One of the questions I get a lot is how folks can help with our fight against Trump. So I wanted to lay it all out in one post for everyone.

The Dworkin Report founded The Watchdog Coalition on election night in 2024. Initially, our intention was to take on corporate media for their constant pro-Trump propaganda, but when the election went the way it did—we expanded to take on his unhinged regime.

Now, with tens of thousands of members, The Watchdog Coalition serves as our activism arm—which mobilizes our massive Contact Congress campaigns, and our unmatched social media efforts.

But we need all hands on deck to keep this momentum going. With no outside investors or advertisers, all of our funding comes from our paid subscribers on Substack. So if you haven’t yet, please become one today:

Our Contact Congress efforts are booming—having sent more than 395,000 letters and made tens of thousands of calls to the House and Senate.

Sign up to volunteer for The Watchdog Coalition here, where among other things you can help out with our social media campaigns, which generate billions of impressions per month.

Here’s what we’re pushing now—with a link to send letters for each one:

NEW: Tell Your Members of Congress: Demand DHS Secretary Kristi Noem resign—send your letters here (Link).

Push Trump to order the National Guard to leave LA (Link).

Protect Funding for NPR and PBS (Link).

One of our most important campaigns is calling for no cuts—ever—to Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security (Link).

Here is a new page to contact Senators about Trump’s garbage budget bill (Link).

Trump has committed impeachable acts—a lot of them. So we are pushing Congress to impeach him (Link).

The Stop the Steal Act would prevent anyone, including DOGE, from meddling with our payment systems and data. We are urging Congress to pass it (Link).

The SAVE Act is nothing but a bill that would disenfranchise tens of millions of voters. We are demanding members of Congress vote no (Link).

We are calling on Congress to publicly urge Trump to drop the bogus charges against Judge Hannah Dugan (Link), and to demand Pete Hegseth’s immediate resignation (Link).

We are also pressuring Congress to stop Trump’s dismantling of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (Link), the Department of Veterans Affairs (Link), and the Department of Education (Link).

Trump’s Ukraine stance is anti-American, while lots of Republicans have been parroting Putin’s talking points. We are demanding they publicly stand with Ukraine over Russia (Link).

There is a bipartisan bill to cap credit card interest rates at 10%, and we want Congress to pass it (Link).

And we are pushing back against the threat of Trump working with the Senate to perform recess appointments (Link).
