The Promise Tracker

How a promise is tracked

Every tracked promise is recorded in the promiser’s own words, with where and when it was said, the official or officials who own delivering it, and a dated evidence log. Its status is one of five:

• Kept — delivered as stated.
• In Progress — delivery under way, evidence accumulating.
• Stalled — promised action has stopped moving or missed its own timeline.
• Broken — the opposite was done, or the promise was abandoned.
• Superseded — replaced by a different stated policy.

Each promise record also carries an attributed criticism field: the strongest sourced criticism of the promise or its delivery, named to its source. A tracker that only carried the administration’s own account would not be worth reading.

The starter set under watch

1. The deportation operation — scale, pace, and legal footing.
2. Tariffs and trade deals, including most-favored-nation drug pricing and TrumpRx.
3. Foreign deals announced through the White House wire.
4. Energy dominance — production, permitting, and prices.
5. Federal workforce and spending cuts.
6. Tax pledges — no tax on tips, overtime, or Social Security benefits.
7. The wind-down of the Department of Education.
8. VA reform.
9. The fraud crackdown.
10. Make America Healthy Again (tracked jointly with RFK Team Report).
