Today, the largest Democratic opposition research organization in the country is launching Reports From The American Front Line (RFTAFL), a new video series that captures what politicians and pundits in Washington refuse to see: the real stories of Americans bearing the brunt of Trump’s and Republicans’ failed leadership.
The Trump administration has no interest in transparency or honesty about the impact of its policies on the American people. It has gutted communications teams across key departments, restricted access to the press, and blocked the release of vital public data.
American Bridge 21st Century isn’t letting them get away with it.
While cable news panels argue and Beltway insiders trade talking points, the true reports from the American front lines are coming from the people living this reality every day — farmers watching generations of work collapse under Trump’s trade wars, small business owners struggling to stay open, and single parents wondering how to keep food on the table.
Drawing from real local news reports, the project reveals how the harmful policies of the Republican Party are wrecking lives and weakening the very communities they claim to defend.
The video series will continue releasing updates each month on the American Bridge 21st Century YouTube page, ensuring that the truth from America’s heartland is impossible to ignore.
Subscribe to get updates as soon as they are available and share widely to make sure the voices of Americans on the front line are heard and not silenced by Trump and his allies in Washington.
“No amount of spin can cover up the damage MAGA policies have caused,” said American Bridge 21st Century president Pat Dennis. “They can lie to the press in Washington, but they cannot lie their way out of the pain they have created across the country. American Bridge is breaking through the Beltway bubble to make sure the real stories from farmers, workers, seniors, and families on the front lines are heard because the truth is that everyday Americans are the ones paying the price for Trump’s failures.”
RFTAFL is just the latest project to underscore the detrimental local effects of Republican policies. The Republican Impact Project, launched earlier this year, uses our vast and effective opposition research apparatus to ensure that none of the Trump administration’s dangerous policies, and the congressional Republicans who support them, escape scrutiny.
