The American Bar Association sat on the sidelines as our legal system was weaponized against normal Americans.

Now, they launch a pressure campaign against President Trump on day one.

We’ve had enough. It’s time to liberate our legal system from this failed institution. 🧵 Image

On Feb. 10 and Mar. 3, the ABA sent two highly partisan statements parroting leftist talking points and saying "Americans expect better."
Americans certainly expected better than the Biden Administration's unprecedented attempt to throw their political opponents in jail (Banana republic stuff) and made that known on November 5th.
The ABA's partisanship is of concern because it traditionally plays a large role in judicial selection in the United States, credentialing judge candidates in an increasingly partisan way.
How many statements did the ABA put out against Biden's lawfare? Biden's refusal to accept the Supreme Court's student loan ruling? The Democrats' assault on the Supreme Court? Zero.
Beyond that, the ABA went woke, mandating DEI courses in law schools and pushing cultural Marxism on the legal profession.
And to cap it all off, who is funding the ABA you might ask? That's right, USAID. You really can't make this stuff up.
That is why I, along with @BasedMikeLee, @TedCruz. @HawleyMO, @MarshaBlackburn, and @BernieMoreno, are taking the radical step to break our judicial selection process free from ABA control. We are excited to work with the Trump Administration & @PamBondi to put great Trump judges on our nation's courts. END

This is such a tired argument.

America First means a foreign policy based on tangible American interests—not empty abstractions.

Foreign adventurism isn't "conservative" at all. It's Wilsonian liberalism, in new clothes.

The future of conservative foreign policy is REALISM. 🧵 Image
The conservative worldview is "realist."

We oppose utopian ideology in all its forms, because we recognize that we live in a fallen world. Humans are flawed and imperfect creatures. We can't build Heaven on Earth—and it's highly dangerous to try.

(Remember the Tower of Babel?) Image
That means we approach the world as it is—not as we wish it could be.

We live in a world of scarcity and limits. A foreign policy that protects and advances American interests must understand that.

We have to make tough choices about when and where we use our resources.

🚨Don’t look now Jack Smith and the Biden Harris DOJ are cranking back up their Lawfare machine against @realDonaldTrump.

It’s Election Interference.

Jack Smith is like a rabid dog after his bone. It’s time he’s leashed.🧵

After the United States Supreme Court threw out Jack Smith’s first indictment and a federal court found his appointment to be unconstitutional, Jack Smith filed a new indictment against President Trump for alleged efforts to interfere in the 2020 presidential election—the great irony of these actions is that Smith is now decidedly interfering in the 2024 presidential election.

Jack Smith has weaponized the DOJ and has used it to make purely political attacks against President Trump.

I am demanding AG Garland and the DOJ hand over all internal communications with Jack Smith regarding his latest indictment of Trump.

I request answers to the following questions by October 11.
1. Please describe any communications DOJ officials had with Special Counsel Jack Smith after the Supreme Court of the United States vacated the appellate decision and remanded the presidential immunity case, Trump v. United States.

As Joe Biden heads to the border today for nothing more than a glorified photo op - it’s worth laying out the case of exactly how Biden created the crisis at the border.

A thread 🧵
On Biden’s first day in office, January 20, 2021, Biden terminated the national emergency at the southwestern border. He halted construction of the border wall.

Same day: Biden reversed a Trump Era executive order. The executive order put restrictions on immigration from countries associated with terrorism.

Same day: Biden pauses deportations for 100 days.

Same day: Biden reverses yet another Trump policy. This policy told law enforcement to enforce the immigration laws of the United States.
February 2021:
Biden stops applying Title 42 expulsions to children at the border.

CDC exempts unaccompanied alien children from Title 42 expulsion requirements.

🚨THREAD: The Biden campaign is hiring Rob Flaherty to combat “misinformation.” Flaherty was a key player in the Biden WH's "censorship enterprise." Here’s what we found out in MO v. Biden, and why this should concern everyone. politico.com/news/2023/09/2…
Flaherty is a defendant in Missouri v. Biden, the lawsuit that I filed that uncovered evidence that the Biden White House colluded with social media companies to censor speech. Flaherty served as the White House director of digital strategy.
In April 2021, Flaherty and other HHS officials had a “Twitter Vaccine Misinfo Briefing” with Twitter to talk about deplatforming those who spread misinformation.

🚨 Today, a federal court denied the Biden Administration's motions to stay the injunction in Missouri v. Biden. This is a big victory, and continues to ensure that the Biden Administration can't censor speech online.

Here are a few notable quotes from the order ->
The Court states, "the First Amendment free speech rights of Plaintiffs by far outweighs the Defendants' interests."
Here's another gem: "...the only effect of staying the Preliminary Injunction would be to free Defendants to urge, encourage, pressure, or induce the removal, deletion, suppression, or reduction of content containing protected free speech on social media platforms."

79 years ago these brave young men liberated a continent and saved the world. Thank you. Image
“Soldiers, Sailors, and Airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Force!
You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you.
In company with our brave Allies and brothers-in-arms on other Fronts, you will bring about the destruction of the German war machine, the elimination of Nazi tyranny over the oppressed peoples of Europe, and security for ourselves in a free world.
