A year into the Trump presidency, we can now see clearly the broken promises of this president and his MAGA enablers in Congress.
Cases in point: Trump and MAGA promised to make our communities safer, but the Nazi-like tactics of ICE ended with the death of Renee Good, the mother of three children.
Instead of de-escalating, Trump has expanded ICE presence and threatens to weaponize the military against our fellow citizens.
Trump promised to disclose all the Epstein files, but he defies the Epstein Files Transparency Act and has released only 1% of all the files, covering up for child rape. Trump promised to cut inflation; instead everyday Americans have lost critical healthcare subsidies while the cost of groceries keeps increasing.
Trump and MAGA promised to stop the endless wars, but now we’ve invaded Venezuela and are threatening military action against Greenland and Iran, to name just a few.
Trump and MAGA promised to cut fraud, but instead the billionaires got their taxes slashed while Trump is building a gilded ballroom and enriching himself, his family and his cronies.
But for generations, Americans of all races, places, and origins have marched, rallied, and fought to make ours a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Now the brave of us must join together to protect our freedoms, our families, and our futures.
As citizens, we can and must speak up. Call our representative and Senators at the Capital Switchboard and demand that they do their job and assert their Constitutional power to stop the cruel and illegal actions of this regime.
