Joe Biden promised that there would be fewer fires, floods, and hurricanes if he wins in November. He claimed that climate change caused fires in the West, floods in the Midwest, and hurricanes on the East Coast. That's not right.

I grew up doing wildland fire mitigation in dry Colorado, and my Eagle project focused on clearing brush and duff to mitigate wildfires. Mitigation and controlled burning are essential for preventing forest fires, and California has been preventing them via red tape.
Also, thanks to @JunkScience for pointing out that floods in the Midwest are nothing new. The Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 was far worse than the flooding last year. Finally, as @RyanMaue pointed out, hurricanes are not a result of climate change.
Trump's reelection would not usher in more "hellish" climate disasters and Biden's victory would not prevent them. Natural disasters are a tragic part of life and we have to mitigate them and restrain them, not blame them on climate change.

🚨EXCLUSIVE

A major tech platform has agreed to stop blacklisting conservatives, in another blow to the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Reminder: SPLC faces fraud charges for funding members of the Klan while fundraising on combatting it.

After pressure from @IWPCapital & @ADFLegal, DoorDash has taken steps to allow employees to contribute to conservatives unfairly smeared as "hate groups."

ADF's Noah Nash told me that it "sets an excellent example for other companies to follow."

🧵2/10
How does it work? DoorDash uses a platform called Deed to help connect DoorDash employees to nonprofits. Deed, like the company Benevity, facilitates employee giving and volunteering—an important service. Unfortunately, Deed uses the SPLC to "screen" nonprofits.

🚨DOJ SLAPS DOWN SPLC MOTION

The SPLC moved to dismiss the DOJ indictment for "vindictive prosecution," claiming that the Trump admin was targeting the leftist group for its free speech.

Here's why that doesn't work, according to the DOJ.

🧵1/12

storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…Image
First, a motion to dismiss for vindictive prosecution often occurs when the government files a new indictment in an existing legal case. That's not the case here. "At bottom, this is a standard white collar fraud prosecution."

🧵2/12 Image
Image
Image
The cases the SPLC cites in its own defense actually cut against its argument.

"The defendant does not even allege facts that would fit a recognized claim of vindictive prosecution."

SNEAKY

How does corporate America blacklist conservatives? Companies don't do it outright. Instead, they outsource it: to the very same leftist "hate watchdog" that allegedly paid for KKK hoods and cross burnings😲

Meet Benevity. This software companies connects nearly 1K companies to 513K nonprofits, managing $16B in grants and 99M employee volunteer hours. It's the middleman between companies and the charities they voluntarily support.

🧵2/16 Image
But Benevity also systematically excludes mainstream conservative and Christian nonprofits. Its former CO bragged about using the Southern Poverty Law Center's "hate list" to "vet" nonprofits.

'CONSERVATIVE' GROUP DEFENDING SPLC?🤔

Today, Society for the Rule of Law moved to file an amicus brief in U.S. v. SPLC, suggesting the DOJ engaged in vindictive prosecution. I can't help but wonder, what sort of conservative group takes the SPLC's side?

🧵1/15 Image
The society claims it wants to protect prosecution from "political influence." The group says it "has not always concurred with" the SPLC's rhetoric, action, or tactics, but "opposes vindictive prosecution of any target."

🧵2/15 Image
Image
The society notes: @FBIDirectorKash condemned the SPLC as a "partisan smear machine" (it is), @Jim_Jordan asked the AG to examine the SPLC's influence under Biden, Pam Bondi was fired reportedly in part for not being aggressive enough, and Trump attacked SPLC.

🚨READ IT

The Justice Department just secured a superseding indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center, and it reveals some new bombshells

🧵1/20

dailysignal.com/2026/04/26/spl…Image
Reminder: the SPLC raises money by claiming it exists to "dismantle white supremacy," but DOJ says the SPLC was actually propping up the hate it told donors it aimed to destroy. SPLC paid "field sources," whom SPLC says were merely informants.

🧵2/20 Image
Image
Yet the field sources used the SPLC's $ to:

1⃣Attend extremist rallies
2⃣Host rallies
3⃣Grow existing chapters
4⃣Create new chapters
5⃣Recruit individuals
6⃣Donate to extremist leaders
7⃣Purchase cross-burning material
8⃣Create racist paraphernalia
9⃣Pay living expenses

🚨DEEP STATE ALERT

What if I told you an EPA lawyer who is also a union leader signed a document explicitly stating that she is "opposing this administration’s policies," but still seems to have kept her job?

Meet Nicole Cantello

🧵1/5

dailysignal.com/2026/05/15/dee…Image
On June 30, 2025, Cantello signed a "Declaration of Dissent," condemning the Trump "administration’s focus on harmful deregulation, mischaracterization of previous EPA actions, and disregard for scientific expertise."

🧵2/5 Image
As a citizen, she has every right to take this stand. But as an executive branch employee, she needs to follow lawful orders from the president on down.

This mentality captures the essence of the deep state—opposition to the president's agenda from within the gov't.
