🧵 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
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
🧵 1/ No other success a country enjoys—economically, intellectually, technologically, or otherwise—can compensate for a collapse in that country’s birth rate, which culminates in unmitigated societal demise
2/ Low birth rate and population collapse leads to extinction
3/ Human extinction cancels all other human advances—in knowledge, wealth, prosperity, and every other achievement
🚨🧵 1/Repost if you think this is yet another good reason to end universal mail-in voting
2/ USPS unions like the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) & American Postal Workers Union (APWU) routinely endorse presidential candidates
Both NALC and APWU endorsed Kamala Harris in 2024 & all postal-worker unions overwhelmingly favor Democrats when they endorse
3/ This creates at least a potential conflict of interest, given that USPS handles tens of millions of mail-in ballots with each election—99.22 million in 2024 alone
If a union backs one candidate, could that influence ballot handling?
1/ Utah is a Republican state—one that has been served by exclusively Republican governors for decades. And we’ve had decades of Republican majorities in both chambers of the legislature. Why, then, does Utah have a number of avowed leftists serving in its judicial system?
2/ Utah’s judicial nomination system is broken. Republican governors often end up naming left-wing judicial nominees who don’t share their views on the proper role of the courts—including basic concepts like textualism, originalism, and judicial modesty. It’s time for reform—to empower the governor to pick judges who align with the governor’s vision.

3/ Here’s how it works today: For each judicial vacancy, a nominating commission (one per judicial district, plus an appellate commission for both the Supreme Court and Court of Appeals) solicits and reviews applications each time a judicial vacancy arises. Each commission consists of seven members appointed by the governor. Members of each commission must be U.S. citizens and Utah residents, and may not be legislators.
🧵 1/ The Left’s latest push to “save democracy” is just a rebrand of their war on the Constitution. This @nytimes piece calls for abolishing the Senate, ending the Electoral College, and packing the Supreme Court. Let’s break this down.
2/ The Constitution gives each state equal representation in the Senate, balancing raw majority rule. The Electoral College ensures smaller states aren’t drowned out by big states. These are just two of the many deliberate, counter-majoritarian design features in our Constitution. The Left calls them “undemocratic.” In a sense, they’re right, but that’s the whole point of the Constitution—to restrain government, even (especially) when the majority doesn’t want the government to be restrained. nytimes.com/2025/08/14/opi…
3/ Why? Because these constitutional protections sometimes undermine their agenda. The Constitution isn’t a tool for unchecked majority rule—it’s a shield against it. That’s why I wrote Saving Nine—to show how our Constitution and independent judiciary protect us from mob rule.
