Whether it's lowering prices or releasing the Epstein files, Trump's growing list of broken promises amount to him caring more about protecting the interests of those with power over those with none.
Our political and economic system is rigged — and he wants to keep it that way.

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election.
70% of these donations went to Republicans.
Now, Republicans in Congress are gearing up to slash essential programs to pay for another round of tax cuts for the rich.
This is what oligarchy looks like.

Trump is seizing any and all power that he can, by any means necessary. The chaos he creates is just a smokescreen for the authoritarian power grab playing out behind the scenes. It's important to look beyond the sensational headlines to figure out the dark dealings going on behind them.
🚨 The Alarming Moves You Might Have Missed
Lost in the noise of the past two weeks, Trump has taken unprecedented steps to undermine the one branch of government he doesn’t fully control — the judiciary.

Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) plays a vital role teaching young people about healthy relationships. It facilitates the reporting of sexual abuse and exploitation. At time when Andrew Tate is a major source of information for young men we really need this.

In 2008, the Home Office raided Cecilia's home, kidnapping her and her 8-year-old son. The film Cecilia’s Story – Ghosts of Yarl’s Wood shares her experience.
At the film's first screening last month, we called for an end to immigration detention.

The Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary say there is no genocide in Gaza.
It is now clear this contradicts the government's own "long-standing policy" outlined below. When will they retract their denial of genocide?
