The Left spent the past decade building a vast censorship enterprise.
A shadowy network of NGOs, tech groups and governments working to censor the Left's enemies—not just in America, but across the West.
Over the next four years, the GOP must expose + dismantle this system. 🧵
The censorship-industrial complex wasn't built overnight. It's been festering for years.
But the Biden administration mobilized an unholy alliance of government power, taxpayer dollars, NGOs and Big Tech companies to build it into a global censorship powerhouse.
Seemingly every agency was a partner in building this system: FBI, CIA, NSA, DHS, State Department, Department of Education, the National Science Foundation, USAID—even FEMA.
Through grants and partnerships, these agencies funneled countless tax dollars to censorship groups.
What you have to understand is that these groups operate as one cohesive class. There's a revolving door between the "public" and "private" spheres.
Former government officials populate the advisory boards of these "disinformation" groups—and vice versa.
Biden's transition team was STACKED with tech insiders. They staffed the entire executive branch—State, Treasury, EPA, OMB, etc.
Many of them were Obama alumni. When Obama left office, they went to work in tech. When Biden's presidency began, they transitioned right back in.
So it should come as no surprise that these worlds are in constant communication with one another. Remember Jen Psaki boasting that they were "flagging problematic posts" for Facebook?
These weren't independent actors. Under the Biden administration, it was one system.
And Biden officials didn't just "flag" content. They pushed platforms to transform their algorithms to suppress ideas they disliked.
In an email, Biden's Digital Director told YouTube that "this is a concern that is shared at the highest (and I mean highest) levels of the WH."
Those are just a few minor examples of a trend that accelerated over the past decade: Western governments creating, funding or coordinating with powerful outside groups to clamp down on (mostly right-wing) dissent.
Just look at the State Department's "Global Engagement Center."
Between 2020 and 2021, two State Department-backed entities—the Global Engagement Center (GEC) and the National Endowment for Democracy—funneled $665,000 to the Global Disinformation Index (GDI), a British nonprofit which creates secretive blacklists of conservative media.
GDI's blacklists were stealthily fed to advertising companies to financially cripple targeted news outlets.
The top 10 outlets on its "disinformation" list are all conservative.
GDI's CEO openly boasted that this had "a significant impact on" the outlets' "advertising revenue."
The GEC was created to combat FOREIGN propaganda aimed at undermining US security.
But instead, it was turned inwards on our own citizens.
We've seen this stuff happen across our intelligence and security agencies.
During the 2020 election—under President Trump's first term—the Department of Homeland Security's CISA formed a "counter-disinformation" coalition with powerful outside censorship groups.
Here's what that network did during that election cycle alone, per @FFO_Freedom's analysis:
This system operates across the borders of the West—giving it yet another way around our Constitution.
When their censorship machine faced legal challenges in the US, Biden officials and their nonprofit allies began using foreign censorship laws to crack down on American speech.
At least 23 US-funded NGOs, nonprofits and "disinformation" groups have received nearly $15.5 million of your tax dollars to help enforce the EU's draconian new Digital Services Act—which levies hefty fines on tech platforms (including US platforms) for allowing "disinformation."
In other words: Using these groups, our government was helping European bureaucrats bully US tech companies into censoring American speech.
That includes groups like NewsGuard—whose advisory board has boasted the former heads of the CIA and NSA, DHS, and the GEC, respectively.
To sum things up: American and European bureaucrats, along with their friends in the NGOs and the tech companies, have been working together to wage a war of censorship and suppression against their own citizens across the West.
I fought this censorship-industrial complex as Attorney General of Missouri, where I sued the Biden admin for pressuring tech platforms into censoring conservatives—and took them to the Supreme Court.
Now it's time to work with President Trump to end this once and for all.
Thankfully, President Trump is dismantling the government arm of this regime. The State Department's Global Engagement Center has been shut down. Funding streams for "disinformation" groups have been cut.
But many of the "private" censorship NGOs are still operating as we speak.
The stories I've shared in this thread are just the tip of the iceberg.
Stay tuned.
This fight is just getting started.
We’re going to continue this NGO investigation. I discussed today with @dbongino:

This a nation of settlers, explorers and pioneers. Our ancestors settled a frontier, built skyscrapers and split atoms, and planted our flag on the moon.
Missouri has been at the heart of it all — every step of the way. 🧵
In 1799, an old man packed up his things and left Kentucky for the wild frontier.
His name was Daniel Boone. He was 65 years old.
Kentucky had gotten "too crowded," he said. "I want more elbow room."
So he headed west: to the Spanish-controlled territory of Missouri.
Boone was an early American archetype: the restless explorer who pushed west because the existing frontier wasn’t wild enough for him.
Even before Missouri was officially America, it had begun to attract men like this—driven by a pioneering spirit that would shape our nation.
🚨 The Supreme Court just delivered a HUGE win on birthright citizenship.
But it's even bigger than that. They also reaffirmed that rogue district judges can't issue nationwide injunctions to stop President Trump from carrying out his agenda.
This is a big, big deal. 🧵
This case wasn’t just about just about birthright citizenship—it was about the proper role of the courts in our political system.
I called this after oral arguments took place for the case last month: "Trump could be on the cusp of a big win."
The entire Democratic Party is lining up behind an anti-American open borders socialist who wants to tear down the country that welcomed him and his family.
Don't look away.
This is who they are. 🧵
Zohran Mamdani just won the Democratic primary for mayor of New York City. He wants to:
• End cooperation with ICE
• End deportations of criminals
• Abolish prisons
• Defund the police
• Decriminalize all drugs
• Have taxpayer-funded sex changes for kids
...and much more.
Mamdani is an open left-wing revolutionary. Those are his words—not mine.
He's not just "liberal." He is a card-carrying member of the Democratic Socialists of America—and holds every insane leftist, socialist, Third Worldist position in the book.
King George Soros is bankrolling "No Kings Day"—a national day of riots—on June 14th through one of his leftist NGOs.
Soros financed the mass migration crisis. Now he's mobilizing his army of illegal aliens and far-left activists to try to stop President Trump from ending it. 🧵
The Left wants to nationalize the riots in Los Angeles. On June 14th—the 250th birthday of the U.S. Army—they're planning to organize 1,500 "No Kings Day" protests across the country.
They call it a "nationwide day of defiance."
The organizing group, Indivisible, was founded in 2016 to fund, organize and mobilize anti-America and anti-Trump protests.
It has received more than $7.5 million from George Soros since 2017.
The Right wins elections, and the Left pretends to magically rediscover the Constitution, the rule of law and free speech.
Don't fall for it. 🧵
Last week, 60 Minutes' Scott Pelley gave a dramatic commencement speech warning that "our sacred rule of law is under attack. Journalism is under attack. Universities are under attack. Freedom of speech is under attack."
We've heard these lines a million times before.
Today's corporate press has an extraordinary hero complex—they imagine themselves as fearless, courageous defenders of democracy and freedom, as brave as the boys on the beaches at D-Day, risking it all to fight tyranny.
They want us to believe they're "speaking truth to power."
The Hur audio makes unavoidable what free thinking Americans had known—for most (all) of his four years, Joe Biden was mentally incapable of serving as President.
It's why I was the first Senator to call for the 25th Amend.
The deeper question—who was running our country? 🧵
Axios finally published the long-sought-after audio from Special Counsel Robert Hur's 2023 interview of President Biden regarding Biden's classified documents found near his Corvette.
