How it’s billed: A non-partisan GOTV operation calling for “all of government” effort to register voters.
What it is: An ‘election interference scheme’ that uses your tax dollars to register Democrat voters in swing states.

This thread will borrow heavily from the incredible work done on this by Heritage’s @oversightPR.
They have been sounding the alarm on “Biden Bucks” for a long time. This thread is an effort to help amplify their work — adding contextual video in order to provide a concise, nuts-and-bolts understanding of how this is manifesting in the 2024 election.
One of Oversight Project’s main threads laying this out can be found here.
Joe Biden announced the EO on March 7, 2021. He invokes January 6, Bloody Sunday, John Lewis and Republican-led voter security measures (voter suppression!) to make the case that there should be an all of government approach to registering voters.

The Biden-issued EO 14019.
Per Heritage, the EO was “crafted by Democrat "voting" groups, which tasks every government agency to focus on registering and mobilizing key Democratic constituencies.”

The countless federal agencies were asked to produce documentation as to how they would comply with the EO.
Here is one such letter from The Peace Corps, outlining their efforts.
The Heritage-acquired archive of these compliance letters will be linked at end of thread.

June 7. In this exchange at a recent Small Business Committee hearing, @RepEliCrane and @stew_whitson expose how the Biden Admin is using US govt agencies as Democrat GOTV organizations, targeting swing states.
WATCH THIS.
WHITSON: “They don't try to get out the vote of every kind of voter. They try to get out the vote of the voters that will put them in office. And so that's the problem, is now the federal executive branch is engaging this, a federal executive branch led by a member of one political party, is using that apparatus to engage in a get out the vote scheme."
Whitson is the senior Director of Federal Affairs for the Foundation for Government Accountability.

Here is an SBA announcement for GOTV efforts in Michigan — a hotly contested swing state with a radical leftwing Secretary of State in Jocelyn Benson.

June 28. Rep. @RepTenney on the floor of the House offering an amendment to strip funding from the DoD for the EO.
“This executive order is nothing but a blatant attempt to transform the federal government into a partisan get out the vote machine for Democrats.’
9/18
Rep. Tenney mentioned NGO’s. Who are these organizations that the Biden administration is paying — with your tax dollars — to help implement this effort alongside US govt agencies?
You might’ve guessed, they aren’t conservative groups.
Per Heritage, Demos is a far-left “dark money group.” Their Wikipedia entry states they have “close ties to the wing of the Democratic Party associated with Elizabeth Warren.”
A litany of leftwing groups offer their guidance to the Dept. of Education.

Can illegals be registered to vote as a result of this EO?
Attempts at congressional oversight to ask this question go unanswered by the US Office of Management and Budget.

How important is this EO and its successful implementation to Biden?
As @MHowellTweets, Exec Director of Oversight Project told @theblaze — "The last election was decided by less than 40K votes in the determinative swings.”
It doesn’t take a lot of targeted voter registrations in swing states to move the electoral needle.
14/18
@AmericaFirstLegal has sued 14 federal agencies for concealing their plans for implementation of the EO.
In summation: Your tax dollars are being used to mobilize the entirety of the US Govt to register blue voters in swing states.

🚨NEW: Victor Davis Hanson presents a powerful breakdown of the Civil War raging in the Democrat Party.
As the Old Guard continues to endure withering pressure from the New Radicals, and a stream of incumbents bow out —
Where does it go from here?
THREAD 🧵
1⃣ THE OLD GUARD: ON ITS LAST LEGS
Hanson begins by drawing a sharp picture of the decrepit Old Guard — The “Biden generation” — falling apart before our eyes:
“There was some news lately that Senator Dick Durbin from Illinois, he was the author, remember, of the Dream act. He was a hardcore liberal. You could even say he was left of center. He's stepping down. He's in the 70s and there's a changing of the guard.”
“Chuck Schumer in some polls is running, I cannot believe it, behind AOC for his upcoming senatorial bid by 20 points and more in a primary. And then as sort of a force multiplier of this, I just saw Nancy Pelosi. She was at a public event. I think she's 85, turning 86. She was as incoherent as Joe Biden.”
So what's Victor trying to say? He lays it out: The Old Guard is TERRIFIED:
“We're watching a changing of the guard, both due to aging. And we see that with Joe Biden and the Biden generation is over with and Nancy Pelosi and then the next cohort in their 70s, the Septa generations, they're terrified. Dick Durbin is terrified of being primaried. And so is Chuck Schumer. He took the dignified way out.”
“Chuck Schumer will probably fight to the very end and be humiliated by AOC.”
2⃣ THE NEW RADICALS RISE
Next up, Hanson starts to dig into the radical faction that is mounting hostile takeover of the party power structure:
“Who are these people? Well, the squad remember traditionally was Ilhan Omar, the Somalian who allegedly had married her brother to gain citizenship, access to the United States. There was Ayanna Pressley. She was the radical African American congresswoman. We had, of course, AOC was a prominent member.”
“And, we have also, in addition to Rashid Talib, she was a member of the squad. She was the Michigan kind of pro Hamas congresswoman. Then we had the DNC and we had Ken Martin won the DNC chairmanship. He's very much to the left and really to the left is his subordinate, David Hogg, the vice chairman.”
“He was a survivor of the parkland shooting, remember, in 2018. And he transmogrified into a gun anti second amendment. But then he got even more and more and more radical. I don't think he's ever really done anything except raise money. But here's my point…”
Here, Hanson nails the bottom line. We are watching a real time transformation of the party:
“We're watching a metamorphosis of the Democratic Party that is out of power.”
🔥Stephen Miller put on a blistering performance outside the White House today —
— blasting Sanctuary State Governors, the Biden administration and of course, a very hostile media.
Miller showed why he’s Trump’s most savvy communicator — AGAIN.
🧵5 KEY MOMENTS: THREAD 🧵
1 🔥“We are not going to ask taxpayers to subsidize the presence of a single illegal alien in this country.”
A “reporter” parroted a leftwing talking point about why the admin should “deport mother with young kids.”
He regretted it.
This exchange shows why legacy media NPC’s are no match for Miller. Ever.
Miller: Do you yourself have an opinion on the subject?
Miller: Let's say he released 10 million aliens into the country over the last four years. What percentage do you think we should let stay here of those 10 million?
Reporter: “I'm not trying to do a game show, but I'm saying if you think that's the best use of the dollars.”
Miller: Is it your view that if a Democrat president releases 10, 15, 20 million into the country, they all then should get to stay forever and for all of life?
Reporter: Stephen, I don't have a view about what Democratic presidents do. I'm asking what the Republican president.
Miller: So how come you don't want to answer the question? Because you know the answer is obvious. Everyone that Biden live in has to go home. Of course, it's a crazy thing to even ask.
ICE is going to continue to focus on raids against high threat criminal aliens.
We're going to use the entire force and power of the federal government to get them all. How many will choose also to leave voluntarily and take advantage of the CBP? Homan. But we are not going to ask taxpayers to subsidize the presence of a single illegal alien in this country.
2🔥"They all have blood on their hands.”
Miller did NOT hold back on the Biden administration and its congressional enablers like Hakeem Jeffries and Chris Murphy for the havoc and destruction unleashed on America by open borders:
“Of course, the Biden administration does, but also all of their enablers do. Right? All of the radical left immigration groups and attorneys and NGOs who aided and abetted and supported the invasion.”
“All the Democrat politicians in Congress, like Hakeem Jeffries, who better than supported the invasion, and Chris Murphy and everyone in the media who knowingly lied and covered up about that invasion for four years.”
“They all share in the atrocity, in the calamity. They all have blood on their hands.”
“They won’t be getting forgiveness from me, I can promise you.”
Gavin Newsom's new podcast is a shiny propaganda project designed to rebrand him as a "Common Sense Democrat” for 2028 — but there’s one small problem:
His own radical record.
Dismantling Newsom’s “Moderate” Rebrand:
🧵THREAD🧵
2⃣REBRAND LAUNCH
The propaganda project designed to position Newsom for a presidential run in 2028 kicked off with him dipping his toe in the water of common sense — by attempting to get on the 80 side of an 80/20 issue: Men playing in women’s sports.
Legacy media predictably heralded this move as a “Remarkable Shift” — not an opportunistic flip-flop, which is exactly what it is.
A 2014 tweet from Newsom celebrated a law that required schools to allow boys to compete in girls’ sports in California.
Newsom hasn’t suddenly seen the light — he’s simply seen the polling.
3⃣NEWSOM’S CORE BELIEFS: ENTIRELY FLEXIBLE
Newsom’s far-left roots don’t stop him from bending to any political stance or ideological twist needed to grab—and hold—power. As he puts it:
