🚨 BREAKING: Trump just WON'T STOP!

The President just dropped ANOTHER executive order that could reshape the entire federal government.

Here's what you need to know... 🧵

1/ Image
The order gives Presidents DIRECT CONTROL over "independent" agencies that have operated outside White House influence for DECADES.

This is HUGE. Constitution Art. 2, Sec. 1 puts that power EXCLUSIVELY in the President. The Deep State has ignored that since the 30s.

2/ Image
We're talking about agencies with MASSIVE power:

• Federal Election Commission
• FCC
• SEC
• Federal Trade Commission

They've operated as their own dictatorial Democrat kingdoms for DECADES. No longer!

3/ Image
Image
BREAKING: The order requires ALL these agencies to submit their regulations to Trump budget chief Russ Vought, who helped write the Project 2025 blueprint 👀

Elections have to matter. If these agencies aren't responsible to the elected branches and voters, we aren't free.

4/ Image
Vought's OMB will now write performance standards for agency heads and report directly to Trump about who's following orders and who isn't.⚠️

No more freelancing! Elections are going to matter again!

5/ Image
Even BETTER: The order FORCES these agencies to hire White House liaisons - basically the President's eyes and ears inside every agency. 🔍

Remember when USAID told the Senate it didn't have to submit to oversight? Those days are GONE.

6/ Image
When Democrats created these agencies a century ago, the pretended it was to "keep politics out". TOTAL LIE: they're all staffed by Democrats, who stay and rule no matter who wins the White House.

And anyway, what does "keep politics out" really mean? Keeping VOTERS out!

7/ Image
🚨 NEW: 20 state Attorneys General just backed Trump at SCOTUS, led by Florida AG @JamesUthmeierFL.

Yet again, the Free State of Florida stands up for our rights and the Constitution!

8/ Image
@JamesUthmeierFL The Fed gets a special carve-out for monetary policy, because if you're going to have a central bank (you SHOULDN'T) it has to be independent to work.

Of course, last year, the Fed cut rates to help Biden and Harris's election chances. So more reform is needed.

9/ Image
@JamesUthmeierFL 10/ The establishment will scream that this is about a "power grab." Don't buy it. This is about THEIR power, to keep running the government no matter who's President.

Elections have to matter, plain and simple. The Uniparty HATES that, and hates the Constitution.

🧵Are you tired of winning yet?

Trump just scored huge victories: the biggest trade deal in history with the EU, a Lebanon-Israel peace deal, and more.

The world is being reordered in America’s favor — and it’s only getting better.

🧵 Image
2/ Just 11 months ago, Trump signed the largest trade deal ever with the EU.

This week, the EU ratified it. For the first time in history Europe charges us ZERO. And we charge them 15%!

Europe buying $600 billion in new U.S. manufacturing investment and $750 billion in American energy over three years.

The establishment on both sides of the Atlantic said it would never happen, that the whole world would isolate and gang up on America.

Kind of like they told you Hillary would win by 12 points.Image
3/ At the same time, Marco Rubio negotiated peace between Israel and Lebanon.

Iran gets booted out. Hezbollah gets removed. Lebanon takes full control of its territory for the first time in 51 years.

Mutual recognition of sovereignty. Which is a bigger deal than it sounds, because Lebanon declared war on Israel in 1948 and has legally been at war against them ever since!

This could mean full diplomatic relations and Lebanon joining the Abraham Accords.

🧵Nationalism is not empire. It’s the opposite.

Nationalism is the right of peoples to rule themselves. Empire is one nation ruling others.

The people who demonize “nationalism” don’t hate bad nations. They want to replace nation-states with a new global empire of unelected elites.

Don't fall for it. 🧵Image
2/ The American Revolution was nationalist — rejecting rule by distant strangers.

So were the Latin American revolutions against Spain. And decolonization around the world.

America has always defended national self-determination through the Monroe Doctrine and beyond. Image
Image
3/ You either believe in the Westphalian nation-state system — self-determination — or you don’t.

Reject it, and you’re left with empire, whether ruled from Brussels, Beijing, or Berlin.

There is no third option. Image

🧵Treasury @SecScottBessent just laid out Trump’s vision for 21st-century American economic statecraft.

It remakes the global order of the last 80 years.

It’s a masterclass in disciplined power: using America’s economic strength to serve our sovereignty — not globalist elites. 🧵
@SecScottBessent 2/ For decades, we assumed openness had no downside.

We tolerated massive imbalances, supply chain dependence on adversaries, and unfair practices — all while believing integration would magically align interests.

Those assumptions failed. Bessent is correcting them. Image
3/ Bessent’s five core principles:

1. Economic security begins with national capacity — building what we need at home in semiconductors, AI, shipbuilding, critical minerals, and more.

2. Openness must be matched by reciprocity — no more one-way access to our markets.

3. America must write the rules of the next economy — standards for digital assets, AI, and emerging tech.Image

🧵The world is significantly greener than it was 40 years ago — thanks to rising CO2.

Satellite data shows almost all ecosystems have grown greener by about 15% in 33 years. Crop yields are up. Reforestation is accelerating. Even marine ecosystems are benefiting.

So why isn’t the “green” movement celebrating? 🧵Image
2/ This greening effect is massive — equivalent to adding an area of green vegetation about twice the size of the mainland U.S.

CO2 is plant food. With more CO2, plants grow faster, use water more efficiently, and thrive even in arid areas.

Commercial greenhouses pump in extra CO2 for this exact reason.Image
3/ Yet official “social cost of carbon” calculations outright ignore this benefit.

When properly included, the net effect of extra CO2 on crop yields flips from negative to significantly positive.

Higher yields mean less hunger, lower food prices, and less land needed for farming.Image

🧵Schedule F is back.

Trump is resurrecting the most important executive reform of his first term — and it’s aimed directly at the Deep State.

If the President can't fire policy makers, why'd we have an election at all?

This is about restoring power to the voters by restoring Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution.

🧵Image
2/ Schedule F creates a new category for policy-making and policy-implementing federal employees.

These positions will no longer have near-ironclad permanent employment.

The President, as head of the executive branch, can once again hire, manage, and remove people who "resist" the agenda voters chose...or who are just bad at their jobs!Image
3/ The Founders vested all executive power in the President. They never intended an unaccountable fourth branch of government.

The modern administrative state — insulated bureaucrats who view elected leaders as temporary — is a 20th-century invention that inverted constitutional order.

Schedule F begins to claw it back.Image

🧵Juneteenth: No, America Wasn’t Built by Slaves—Slavery Held Us Back

Let’s talk about what really made America rich, and why the Left keeps lying about it.

Hint: it wasn’t forced labor. It was freedom. Image
2/ Today, we rightly celebrate Juneteenth: the day in 1865 when Texas slaves learned they were free.

That freedom was secured by Republicans, at gunpoint, from the same Democrats who enslaved them in the first place.

The narrative needs a correction. Image
3/ The Left says America’s wealth was “built on the backs of slaves.”

That’s a lie. Slaves were oppressed. But slavery built nothing lasting.

U.S. wealth was built by free men, free markets, and the unleashing of human potential.

Slavery didn’t build America. It delayed it.Image
