Thread on corporate America. Too may conservatives are caught up in a 1990’s business school view of laissez-fair economics assuming those corporations are acting to maximize shareholder value as opposed to advancing an agenda & are acting removed from corporate cronyism… (1/8)
…Instead, corporate America is - across multiple industries - using massive market power combined with government-corporate cronyism to impact negatively - in real time - the lives, liberty, & ability to pursue happiness of the American people… (2/8)
…It is hardly deniable that #BigTech & #BigMedia are using their power along with govt regulatory protection to impact what we read, see, & hear in a way designed to affect policy. It’s true re: #COVID, race/CRT/BLM, gender/trans (e.g. Disney), CO2/Energy & more… (3/8)

…It is hardly deniable that #BigEnergy & #BigGreen (w/ help of #BigTech & #BigEducation) are making large profits off of subsidies at the expense of small/mid-size energy companies and the well-being / flourishing of Americans (& empowerment of Russia & China)… (6/8)
…the GOP should promote policies that are radically pro-small business, pro-competition, anti-ESG, pro-#EducationChoice, pro-#HealthcareFreedom & end preferences/subsidies in energy… while ending deficit spending. Laissez-fair in economics, but not blind to the abuse… (7/8)

THREAD: @PressSec - having refused to apologize for accusing @CBP agents of whipping Haitians… extends lies to oil: “What additional permits do they need? …The leases are there, the permits are there. I don’t think they need an embroidered invitation..” (1/x) #EnergyFreedom
This is stupid, a lie, or both: Oil is around $120 a barrel; do you really think companies don’t want to drill right now? They can’t because of the administration’s assault on reliable American oil & gas. #EnergyFreedom (2/x)
Companies have applied for a bunch of permits because they know they’re under attack… Biden in a 2020 debate: “No more drilling on federal lands. No more drilling including offshore. No ability for the oil industry to continue to drill. Period.” #EnergyFreedom (3/x)
#SWAMPSPENDING THREAD: 1) We were sent vote times & “Omnibus” spending bill at 230AM. 2) It is 2700 pages & we vote at 1000AM. 4) Top-line spending appears to be $1.512 Trillion. 3) We are told it is a 6% increase year-over-year, NOT counting Ukraine or COVID Supp… (1/6)

…7) We are aware of zero meaningful policy changes for our open border - only more money for CBP/ICE - which means more money to process illegal immigrants, and more money for MPP/Return to MX, which DHS is ignoring anyway!… (3/6) #SecureBorderNow
Thread: Visited @BPUnion@CBP, @TxDPS, & ranchers in Del Rio, Tx w/ 4 @freedomcaucus colleagues, 5 #TxLege Freedom Caucus & @russvought, coordinating to protect Tx from cartels, crime, fentanyl, & devastation of open borders. We will not wait 3 years. #SecureOurBorderNow (1/6)
Met with @TxDPS getting an update on Operation Lone Star. State shouldn’t have to step into the breach of refusal of Biden & Mayorkas to enforce the law… but DPS is - every day - and and if we have, we should not allow ourselves to be held back… It’s an invasion. (3/6)
