Welcome to MAGA Files, American Bridge 21st Century's hub of opposition research against Donald Trump and the MAGA GOP. Originally launched before the 2020 election, this website exists to help allies find the research needed to defeat Trump’s extremist Republican Party.
MAGA Files is organized into dozens of reports designed to help you tell the full story about how Trump, his cabinet of billionaires, and the rest of the Republican Party are wrecking the economy and doing everything they can to squeeze lower- and middle-class Americans to benefit the wealthiest.
Since the start of his second term, Trump has launched dangerous and reckless attacks on the economy, health care, public safety, and public health research. Trump ran on improving the lives of American families, but his policies have only made Americans poorer, sicker, and more unsafe. Our reports are organized in different areas:
Republican Impacts Project
The Republican Impacts Project is an open-source database documenting the state-by-state impacts to the economy, public health, and public safety posed by Trump’s dangerous cuts. In all 50 states, the Trump administration is eliminating billions of dollars in federal spending that saves lives, makes the country safer, and protects U.S. interests around the world and firing thousands of Americans–including many veterans–who provide vital services to veterans, seniors and the disabled dependent on Social Security, students, and farmers in every pocket of the country.
Local News Archive
As part of the Republican Impacts Project, we are collecting news reports from across the country about Americans—from veterans laid off by the Trump administration to seniors worried about service cuts at the Social Security Administration—who are feeling the pain of the Republican agenda.
Trump Personal Narrative Reports
Americans should have no illusions about who Trump is–he is an insecure, predatory man. From his legendary lying to his history of sexual assault and harassment, we have compiled information on Trump’s many personal and governing failing. Trump’s refusal to fully separate himself from his business has meant foreign governments have spent untold amounts corruptly buying their way into Trump’s good graces. Trump has also put the interests of his personal businesses ahead of the American people influencing his foreign and domestic policy decisions for his own benefit.
Policy Issue Reports
We have compiled reports on domestic, economic, environmental, foreign, and health care policies–from opposing abortion to attacking Social Security and Medicare–showing how much of a disaster Trump’s first term was and how much worse his second is shaping up to be.
Trump’s Cabinet And Administration
We have gathered reports on the right-wing extremists, billionaires, and conspiracy theorists advising Trump in his second term. Trump's team comes from Wall Street, Congress, and D.C. think tanks, and they don’t represent everyday Americans. They have histories of hurting workers, trying to steal elections, and are dangerously unqualified for the roles Trump has given them.
