🧵 1. McConnell’s attacks on Donald Trump & Rick Scott are indefensible

Those running for Senate GOP leadership posts need to weigh in on this & commit never to sabotage Republican candidates & colleagues—particularly those who are less than two weeks away from a close election Image
2. We must have clarity from the candidates running to replace McConnell on where they stand on these attacks. They must be clear on how they plan to lead the conference, and on the role of its members
3. The Senate Republican leader is supposed to help Republicans, not undermine them

Sadly, we’ve had too much of the latter

That must end now
4. Remember: McConnell’s superpac has withheld campaign support from Ted Cruz and Rick Scott this election season, an incomprehensible move for a Senate GOP “strong leader” who wants to keep Texas and Florida and gain a majority in the Senate
5. Here’s a link to the article: cnn.com/2024/10/23/pol…

🧵1. The God-given right to bear arms is nearly as ancient as efforts to restrict it are predictable. Image
2.Efforts to restrict the right to bear arms inevitably grant government—and those whose interests align with the regime in power—a monopoly on the use of guns. Image

🧵 🚨 1. The Constitution’s Presentment Clause and the Unconstitutionality of Making Federal Law By Bureaucratic Fiat
2. The Presentment Clause, found in Article I, Section 7 of the U.S. Constitution, explains in clear terms how a bill becomes a federal law.
3. Under the Presentment Clause, a bill can become a law only if it’s (a) passed by both houses of Congress, and then (b) presented to the president for approval or veto. It supplements Article I, Section 1, which makes clear that *all legislative power* is vested in Congress. Image

1. The Ancestral Multitude: Imagine that every single one of your ancestors from 33 generations ago stood in front of you as holograms. In theory, you’d see 8,589,934,592 figures—more than the current world population! Image
2. The Numbers Don’t Add Up: Here’s the twist: 33 generations ago—around 1100 AD—the world’s population was just a few hundred million. So how can you have had more ancestors alive in 1100 AD than there were humans on planet earth at the time? Image
3. Enter Pedigree Collapse: This phenomenon explains the paradox. In your family tree, many of those holographic figures would overlap because the same person would appear multiple times. Image

🧵🚨 1. Everyone should know the story of Roscoe Filburn, a farmer from Ohio who found himself in the crosshairs of one of the most absurd federal overreaches in history. It’s a tale of government control over the most basic of American freedoms—growing your own wheat. Image
2. In 1938, Congress passed the Agricultural Adjustment Act so the feds could dictate how much wheat Americans could grow on their land. They set quotas, telling farmers like Roscoe Filburn exactly how many acres of wheat they could plant. Notice was sent on cards like this one. Image
3. Roscoe Filburn was just trying to feed his livestock, feed his family, and keep some for seeds. He planted 23 acres, not because he wanted to flood the market but because he needed it for his farm’s survival. The government said, “No, you can plant wheat on only 11.1 acres.” Image

🧵1. @MeetThePress omits six words about birthright citizenship from the 14th Amendment

The omitted text is set off by asterisks:

“All persons born … in the United States, *and subject to the jurisdiction thereof,* shall be citizens of the United States”

Those words matter
2. Congress has the power to define what it means to be born in the United States “and subject to the jurisdiction thereof.”
3. While current law contains no such restriction, Congress could pass a law defining what it means to be born in the United States “and subject to the jurisdiction thereof,” excluding prospectively from birthright citizenship individuals born in the U.S. to illegal aliens.

🧵1. In a meeting today with @elonmusk, @vivekgramaswamy, & @speakerjohnson, Elon & Vivek referred to the fact that, because unelected bureaucrats now make most federal law & control much of our economy, we’ve been stripped of the benefits of a constitutional republic. Image
2. As @vivekgramaswamy noted, the need for Americans to demand accountability from their own government is precisely why we fought—and mercifully won—the American Revolution. That got me thinking …. Image
3. Throughout Anglo-American history, we’ve seen a major upheaval every 75-90 years. It’s almost like clockwork! Image
