The “Consumer Financial Protection Bureau” (the brainchild of Elizabeth Warren) has long functioned as another woke, weaponized arm of the bureaucracy that leverages its power against certain industries and individuals disfavored by so-called “elites.”

🧵 FOR EXAMPLE:
CFPB used its slush fund (collected from targeting financial institutions) to support radical advocacy groups.

One such group is the Soros-backed Mississippi Center for Justice, which targets religious liberty and assists illegals seeking to skirt our laws. Image
Image
Another is The Legal Aid Society of the District of Columbia, whose board features senior left-wing officials and has lobbied hundreds of times for more welfare spending. Image
CFBP threatened banks for refusing to lend to illegal immigrants. Image
CFPB targeted a Chicago small business after it complained about the city’s rampant crime. Image
CFPB was accused of mining American citizens’ personal financial information — with a 2017 inspector general’s report raising significant concerns about its data security. Image
CFPB granted itself broad new powers in the waning hours of the lame duck Biden admin.

It gave itself the authority to regulate Americans’ checking accounts by dictating government price controls and unilaterally buried $50 billion in medical debt. Image

Studies have repeatedly shown that contrary to public rhetoric, tariffs can be an effective tool for achieving economic and strategic objectives.

🧵 THREAD:
A study on the effects of President Trump’s tariffs from his first term found they strengthened the U.S. economy and led to significant reshoring in industries like manufacturing and steel production. Image
A 2023 report by the U.S. International Trade Commission, which analyzed the effects of Section 232 and 301 tariffs on $300+ billion of U.S. imports, found the tariffs reduced imports from China and effectively stimulated more U.S. production with very minor effects on prices. Image

THE WINS KEEP COMING: President Trump promised to usher in a new Golden Age of America — and he continues to deliver win after win at historic speed.
 
🧵 Here are just a few from the past week:
The Trump administration is securing America — transferring “the worst of the worst” criminal illegal aliens to Guantanamo Bay ahead of their repatriation back to their own countries.
Following President Trump’s imposition of tariffs, Mexico announced a deployment of 10,000 troops to the border to combat illegal immigration and fentanyl trafficking and Canada announced a flurry of measures to combat fentanyl manufacturing and trafficking. Image

USAID has been unaccountable to taxpayers for decades — funneling money to ridiculous (and in many cases, malicious) pet projects of entrenched bureaucrats with zero oversight.
 
🧵 Here are only a few examples of the WASTE and ABUSE:
— $1.5 million to “advance diversity equity and inclusion in Serbia's workplaces and business communities”
 
— $70,000 for production of a "DEI musical" in Ireland
 
— $2.5 million for electric vehicles for Vietnam

— $47,000 for a “transgender opera” in Colombia
 
— $32,000 for a “transgender comic book” in Peru

Last week, President Trump took executive action to protect kids from irreversible chemical and surgical mutilation.

It’s already working — preventing kids from being maimed and sterilized by adults perpetuating a false claim they can somehow change their sex.

🧵
NEW YORK: NYU Langone Health has started canceling appointments for so-called “gender-affirming care” involving minors.

They canceled appointments for “two 12-year-olds who had been scheduled to receive implants that dispense puberty-blocking medication.” Image
COLORADO: Denver Health announced it would stop performing sex change surgeries on minor children, while UCHealth said it is ending so-called “gender-affirming care” for all minors. Image

The WSJ’s tirade against President Trump’s decisive action to stop fentanyl from killing innocent Americans is a reminder the WSJ is always wrong when it comes to tariffs and trade. For years, the WSJ has supported America Last policies such as open borders and outsourcing. 1/6
In a 1991 commentary article, the WSJ attacked opponents of NAFTA as "protectionists" and "anti-growth zealots."

Between NAFTA’s implementation in 1994 and 2014, the U.S. auto sector lost 348,000 jobs. 2/6 Image
In a 2000 column, WSJ editorial board editor Robert Bartley wrote that NAFTA was one of Bill Clinton's "true accomplishments."

One study found that just through 2002, the NAFTA deal "caused the displacement of production that supported 879,280 U.S. jobs." 3/6 Image

ANOTHER DAY, MORE LIES — the hoaxes perpetuated against President Trump and his administration never stop, and today was no exception.

🧵 THREAD:
HOAX: A score of Fake News outlets, including Axios, CNN, The Washington Post, The New York Times, and many others, claimed President Trump’s directive to temporarily pause certain federal spending was “rescinded.” Image
Image
FACT: No such thing took place.

Instead, a *memo* from OMB was rescinded to alleviate confusion — and @PressSec confirmed President Trump’s order remains “in full force and effect, and will be rigorously implemented” as the admin works to root out waste, fraud, and abuse.
