Now even the Fed admits: that standard was abused—and it’s over.
3/ Fed Chair Powell was blunt: he was “struck” by the growing number of debanking cases linked to religion and politics.
This wasn’t a conspiracy theory. It was real.
And Trump’s administration just buried it. With a LOT of help from my friends at @ADFLegal and @SFOF_States
@ADFLegal @SFOF_States 4/ This aligns with the GOP’s Fair Access to Banking Act, backed by @SenatorTimScott, @RepAndyBarr & even Democrat @RitchieTorres.
Their goal: stop financial discrimination.
No more “secret scoring.” No more woke blacklists.
@ADFLegal @SFOF_States @SenatorTimScott @RepAndyBarr @RitchieTorres 5/ Other regulators are now falling in line:
✅ OCC scrapped reputation risk in March
✅ FDIC called it “abused” and “worthless”
✅ The Fed is now removing it from every exam manual
The Democrats' weaponization of government against you is collapsing—and Trump led the charge.
@ADFLegal @SFOF_States @SenatorTimScott @RepAndyBarr @RitchieTorres 6/ This wasn’t about safety. It was about silencing dissent.
Banks used woke “risk tolerance” to shut down people who dared disagree with Democrats.
That's part of how they were establishing one-party rule.
Now the tools they used are being ripped out by the roots.
@ADFLegal @SFOF_States @SenatorTimScott @RepAndyBarr @RitchieTorres 7/ Censorship is bad enough. But debanking was one of the most dangerous trends in modern America. It's basically "the mark of the beast": you can't buy or sell unless you bow.
And now it’s being stopped cold.
Thank Donald Trump, @ADFLegal and @SFOF_States for your freedom.

🧵The EU is finally waking up: Donald Trump was right about China.
Europe’s industrial base could be obliterated in less than a decade by China’s predatory export machine.
Brussels ignored the warnings. Now they’re facing the consequences. 🧵
2/ China is doubling down on massive over-investment and dumping excess capacity on the world while pursuing autarky at home.
Effect: it's exporting deflation and unemployment as a means to stay in power by destroying your job.
The Rhodium Group warns this “China Shock 2.0” is bigger and more sophisticated than the first one that hollowed out America’s Rust Belt.
3/ Europe is the soft target this time.
China runs a €1 billion DAILY trade surplus with the EU. Without action, the deficit could hit €500 billion by 2027.
As Trump’s tariffs blocked China from flooding the U.S. market, the tsunami of cheap goods shifted to Europe — hitting Germany, France, and beyond with devastating force.
🧵Leftist, progressive lawyers are fleeing the Trump administration in large numbers.
According to the NYT, more than 10,000 have left federal agencies since the beginning of 2025, according to a New York Times analysis.
The federal government has lost an incredible 17% of its civilian lawyers in just 15 months. Bwuhahahahahaha!
This isn’t random attrition. It’s a self-revelation. 🧵
2/ The numbers are stark.
The Department of Education lost more than half its lawyers. The Departments of Housing and Urban Development, Labor, Energy, and Agriculture all saw steep declines. DOJ is down 24%.
The Deep State saboteurs are leaving. Trump is getting to replace them. But he's hiring fewer.
Despite agencies hiring about 3,200 lawyers during this period, departures still vastly outpaced recruitment.
3/ There's one major exception.
The Department of Homeland Security increased its legal staff by 21% as the administration ramped up immigration enforcement.
The agencies most focused on Trump’s core priorities — border security and reducing regulatory overreach — are either holding steady or growing.
The ones most aligned with the old administrative state are emptying out.
He helped break the Bank of England in 1992. Now Trump’s Treasury Secretary is using that experience against China — and Beijing should be terrified.
THREAD🧵
2/ In 1992, Scott Bessent was part of the Soros team that broke the pound.
Britain was defending an exchange rate reality no longer supported. The speculators attacked. The Bank of England lost.
Trump watched. He learned the lesson.
Governments don’t lose currencies because traders are clever. They lose them because they defend lies too long.
3/ Bessent recently described China’s economy as the most imbalanced in modern history.
Trapped in deflation. Desperately trying to export its way out. Its own people don’t trust the yuan — they want their money out, but the CCP won’t let them.
Bessent's words aren't normal economic commentary. They're a lesson in the anatomy of a currency regime under terminal pressure.
🧵New Orleans just proved failing schools can be fixed at scale.
It became America’s first all-charter school district.
The results are staggering:
• 99th percentile nationally in reading growth
• 98th percentile in math growth
• The only state in America beating pre-pandemic levels in both subjects
This is what real reform looks like. THREAD 🧵
2/ Before Hurricane Katrina, the system was a disaster.
Over 60% of New Orleans public schools were rated failing. Kids attended chaotic, dangerous schools where constant disruptions made real learning almost impossible.
A generation was being failed by design.
Then the storm hit — and everything changed.
3/ New Orleans didn’t tinker. It transformed.
The state took over the worst schools, converted the entire district to charters, eliminated neighborhood attendance zones, and gave families real school choice.
Thousands of underperforming teachers and staff were fired. Corruption and low standards were confronted directly.
🚨 A generational Republican majority just became possible.
The Supreme Court ended racial gerrymandering, throwing dozens of artificial Democrat House seats into play.
But the 2030 Census is the real hammer — and it could lock in Republican control of the map for decades.
The structural advantage Democrats built for years is collapsing. 🧵
2/ Democrats built their power on three structural frauds:
• A rigged 2020 Census that stole House seats and electoral votes from red states.
• Counting illegal aliens for congressional apportionment and electoral votes.
• Racial gerrymandering that guaranteed them extra safe seats.
The Court just eliminated #3. The other two are on borrowed time. And the American people are already finishing the job by voting with their feet.
3/ The 2020 Census was a Deep State operation.
The Bureau's own post-enumeration survey showed it undercounted Texas, Florida, Arkansas and other red states — while overcounting New York, Massachusetts, Minnesota and other blue ones.
Net result: at least 15 House seats and 16 electoral votes shifted to Democrats.
They admitted the count was materially false… then said “too late to fix it.”
