MISSION STATEMENT

The nation-state is fundamental to international partnership, prosperity and peace. It provides the essential bedrock of freedom and self-government. The byproduct is economic opportunity and therefore security. Every country has a rightful obligation to defend its sovereignty and put their interests first. The world is more stable when each nation prioritizes its people's interests.

Likewise, the United States will advance our interests first, while encouraging other nations to do the same. We stand for the sovereign rights of nations, against the authoritarian overreach of transnational institutions, and for reforming global organizations so that they respect national identity and help-not hinder-the innate interests of freedom-seekers everywhere.

TPUSA (Action) is hosting a new annual D.C. event over the next few days called Alliance of Sovereign Nations. Featured guests include some truly awful U.S. officials like Randy Fine, Eli Crane, and Mike Johnson and also members of the far-right Freedom Party of Austria and Alternative for Germany.

This trans teacher has no choice but to leave Florida: 'I can't defend myself' Saoirse Stone says state policies have turned her daily life in an Orlando high school classroom into a series of quiet humiliations.

Florida is doing what it set out to do, make life unlivable for trans people.
