Are We Great Yet?

Donald Trump and the Republicans were elected to “make America great again” by strengthening the economy, lowering energy costs, and making government more efficient. How’s that going?

Instead of making America great for the people who voted for them, Donald Trump and the Republicans continue to sow chaos and create a culture of fear, anger, cruelty, and uncertainty where the rule of law does not seem to matter, and the needs of average Americans are ignored.

It’s been a year now, and it doesn’t seem like our country is greater. In fact, many would argue that it is worse. Here’s the latest:

Another government shutdown: Instead of lowering prices or fixing healthcare, Republicans are fighting among themselves and have shut down the Department of Homeland Security—the very agency they claim is essential for border security.
Late night TV under threat: Rather than tackling the issues Americans care about, the Trump administration is waging war on comedians who make fun of the President.
Trump’s immigration approval hits new low: Even as Trump doubles down on immigration crackdowns, a Reuters/Ipsos poll shows the public isn’t buying it—support for his immigration policies has hit rock bottom.
EPA climate research eliminated: While 2024 was confirmed as the hottest year on record, Trump’s response was to eliminate the EPA programs tracking it. Ignoring the problem doesn’t make it go away.
Young voters turning away from Trump: The young men who helped elect Trump in 2024 are abandoning him. They voted for economic opportunity—not chaos, cruelty, and culture wars.

Meanwhile,

Groceries and gas are still expensive
Inflation is still high
The national debt continues to skyrocket
Climate change continues to have an impact
The Trump administration continues to go after his political enemies and sow chaos across the world.

We are keeping track of the things that really matter to American voters and their ability to provide for families, plan for their futures, and live their lives. We will be posting where things stand each month so you can decide for yourself how great things really are for you and your family.
