Republicans promised to lower the high cost of living, end the war in Ukraine and release the Epstein files.

Why has none of this happened?

The extremists have been too busy protecting the lifestyles of the rich and shameless.

Peter Thiel is known for saying he “no longer believes freedom and democracy are compatible”, sharing the same fascist ideology as neoreactionary Curtis Yarvin.

And his company, Palantir, is the one that’s building a massive data surveillance apparatus for the Trump regime to track all Americans.
Palantir’s founder, Peter Thiel, does not believe in democracy, and he is funding its demise globally in hopes of replacing the democratic world order with authoritarian “network states” run by CEO-dictators.

We document his connections to ICE, Project 2025, JD Vance, and fellow techno-fascists.

While Trump appoints 13 billionaires to his cabinet and Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg see their wealth increase by $217 billion since the election, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, 25% of seniors live on $15g or less and millions cannot afford rent.

Confidence in Congress is at an all time low.

It’s time to fix that.

Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights.

He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.
