Just a few things maga has done that dems should be reminding the people for midterms. I asked AI to make a list
Reproductive Rights & Personal Liberty
The VA Abortion Ban (Finalized Aug 2025): Rescinded the rule allowing VA facilities to provide abortion counseling and services. It forbids coverage even for veterans who are victims of rape, incest, or whose health is at risk.
The Comstock Act Weaponization: The DOJ issued a memorandum stating that mailing "instruments or drugs" intended for abortion is a federal crime, creating a "de facto" national ban in states that rely on mail-order medication.
Defunding Planned Parenthood (OBBB Act): Included a one-year provision that strips Medicaid eligibility from Planned Parenthood. This has forced the closure of rural clinics that provided non-abortion services like cervical cancer screenings.
Rescinding HIPAA Protections: A June 2025 court ruling (backed by the administration) vacated rules that protected the privacy of patients traveling out-of-state for abortions, allowing local law enforcement to subpoena their medical records.
IVF & "Personhood" Legal Threats: The administration’s support for federal "personhood" language has chilled IVF treatments in several states, as clinics fear prosecution for the disposal of non-viable embryos.
Foreign Policy & "Arctic Tensions"
The Venezuela Operation (Jan 2026): U.S. forces captured Nicolás Maduro in a military operation. President Trump announced the U.S. would "run" Venezuela and its oil industry, with $2 billion in crude sales currently being "controlled by the President" rather than the Treasury.
The Greenland Annexation Demands: The administration issued a formal ultimatum to Denmark to negotiate the sale of Greenland, stating that "military options are always on the table" for national security interests.
Ukraine "Forensic Audit" Freeze: Halted all lethal aid to Ukraine, leading to the 28-point "Peace Plan" that critics say amounts to a forced surrender of Ukrainian territory to Russia.
Mexico "Drone Strike" Authorization: Designated Mexican cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs), authorizing the use of the military to strike "drug assets" inside Mexican territory without a formal declaration of war.
Economy & The "MAGA Sales Tax"
Reciprocal Tariff Act (The 25% Baseline): Imposed an across-the-board 25% tariff on most imports. Democrats are campaigning on the "Trump Inflation" of 2026, noting that the price of daily goods (coffee, electronics, cars) has risen by 15-20% since the tariffs took effect.
ACA Subsidy Expiration (Jan 2026): Refused to renew the enhanced premium subsidies, causing monthly healthcare costs for 20 million Americans to spike by an average of $800 per year.
The Social Security Funding Gap: While eliminating the tax on Social Security benefits, the administration did not provide a replacement revenue stream, moving the "insolvency date" up to 2030.
DOGE Budget "Rescissions": The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) used the Rescissions Act of 2025 to permanently cut $2.1 trillion in authorized spending, including school lunches and rural hospital subsidies.
Justice & Transparency (The Epstein Files)
Epstein Transparency Act Non-Compliance: Despite a bipartisan law requiring the release of all Jeffrey Epstein records by Dec 19, 2025, the DOJ has withheld over 99% of the files, citing "common-law privileges."
Pardoning FACE Act Convicts: In his first 100 days, Trump pardoned 23 activists convicted of using violence or blockades to shut down reproductive health clinics.
Schedule G (The Civil Service "Purge"): Reclassified 50,000 career experts (from the EPA, FDA, and DOJ) as "at-will," replacing them with political appointees.
Education & Public Health (The MAHA Agenda)
Federal Ban on Gender-Affirming Care: An executive order withdrew all federal funding (Medicaid/ACA) for gender-affirming care and banned transgender people from serving in the military.
Title IX "Biological Truth": Redefined Title IX to strictly define sex as male or female at birth, effectively ending protections for LGBTQ+ students in public schools.
School Choice Tax Credits: Diverted $51 billion from public school funding into a federal "tax credit" for private school tuition.
The Fluoride & Vaccine "Pause": Ordered a federal "review" of fluoride in drinking water and redirected NIH funding away from mRNA research toward "alternative health" studies.
