🚨 President Trump has fired a lot of Administrative State bureaucrats. Praise the Lord.

The liberal media cries foul, but what if I told you President Trump was playing by the rules Joe Biden created.

In his quest for power, Joe Biden unwittingly helped MAGA. Here’s how. 🧵

In 2020, President Trump nominated Roger Severino to serve on and reform the Administrative Conference of the United States, a technocratic, deep state agency that manages many of the inner workings of the administrative state.

In 2021, Biden gave Severino an ultimatum, resign or be fired.

Severino sued, using this chance to remove bad precedent limiting the President's ability to fire bureaucrats. Biden took the bait.

(For more on that area of precedent, see my prior thread)

America is not an economic zone.

It's not a strip mall with an airport attached.

It's a nation. It's a people. It's our home.

For too long, our leaders have been selling our country off for parts.

Today, President Trump put America First. Here's why. 🧵

Since the end of the Cold War, U.S. trade policy has been an unmitigated disaster.

We've shipped millions of good jobs overseas, hollowed out our industrial capacity, and sacrificed our sovereignty on the altar of the "global economy"—while other nations reap the benefits.

Independence was the founding principle of our republic. It was the principle that drove our ancestors to revolution.

But a nation that can't make things is not independent.

We were once the manufacturing powerhouse of the world. Now we can't even make the stuff we invented.

Here's a terrifying fact.

According to some estimates, America would run out of key munitions in “less than one week” in a major conflict with China.

Less than one week.

We can't keep fighting other people's wars. It's time for America to come home. 🧵

A few quick data points.

As I mentioned above: In 2023, @CSIS ran a series of war games for a U.S.-China conflict in the Taiwan Strait. In every single scenario they ran, the U.S. ran out of critical munitions—such as long-range, precision-guided munitions—in less than one week.

To make matters worse, China is currently acquiring high-end weapons systems 5-6X faster than we are.

Our stockpiles are depleted. Our industrial capacity is exhausted.

The hard truth that many in DC won't say: Replenishing these systems will take years—not weeks or months.

It's official: USAID is dead.

This is a huge win — not just for America, but for all of Western civilization.

Here’s why. 🧵

Much of this has already been documented at length: Through USAID, billions of U.S. tax dollars were funneled to radical NGOs, media outlets, "civil society" groups, and foreign bureaucracies that actively worked against both American interests and conservative values worldwide.

These left-wing systems operate across borders, through international bureaucracies and NGOs.

So the left-wing activism we fund abroad always comes home.

For example: The State Department dumped billions into refugee NGOs that facilitated mass migration in Europe AND America.

Judge James Boasberg has now been assigned his FOURTH major Trump case.

This happens far too often. Big conservative cases magically end up in the hands of far-left judges. They tell us it's "random"—but it's not.

I'm demanding a full investigation, answers, and reforms. 🧵

Administrative court clerks’ offices assign cases to specific judges behind closed doors. Today, I wrote a letter to Judge Van Totenhove—the Chairman of the Rules Committee on the Judicial Conference of the United States—demanding a full investigation and reform of this process.

Across the West, our civilization is threatened by a radical network of NGOs.

These groups lie behind almost every crisis of our time—from mass censorship to mass migration.

Tomorrow, we're going to expose their war on freedom of speech. 🧵

In the internet age, information is power.

The Left knows the stakes. That's why they've waged a decade-long, multi-billion-dollar campaign to control what you see and say online.

I explained how their censorship operation works earlier this month:

https://x.com/Eric_Schmitt/status/1899826920419664131

This operation is a dangerous marriage of public and private power—a global system of security agencies, tech firms, activist groups, nonprofits, media orgs and government bureaucracies taking what they describe as a "whole-of-society" approach to censoring disfavored speech.
