🚨 BREAKING: Trump’s State Department just cut 3,000 MORE employees!

Promises made, promises kept.

And after a major Supreme Court victory, Secretary Rubio is purging the bureaucracy—and dismantling the Deep State piece by piece. 🧵 Image
2/ The State Department confirmed on July 11 it’s firing nearly 3,000 staff in a historic reorganization.

🔻 1,107 civil service jobs
🔻 246 foreign service jobs
🔻 Hundreds more taking voluntary buyouts

This is the biggest shakeup in decades. And that's saying something! Image
3/ Staff received pink slips Thursday.

Some were told their positions were “abolished.”

Civil servants have 60 days.

Foreign service officers? 120 days’ paid leave—then gone.

Access to headquarters: revoked by 5 p.m.

Trump isn’t playing. Image
4/ The cuts follow a near-unanimous Supreme Court ruling upholding Trump’s power to terminate federal employees.

The ruling crushed a lawsuit that tried to block the move. Now it’s open season on bloated agencies.

“The law was on our side,” the Dept said. Image
5/ Rubio’s office says “care has been taken not to compromise core diplomatic functions.”

Translation:

🇺🇸 Passport services – safe
🇺🇸 Security – safe
🇺🇸 Global desks – staffed

But the deadwood is gone, or going. Image
6/ This is part of Trump's DOGE plans.

🔹 USAID? Dismantled.
🔹 Department of Education? Gutted.
🔹 State? Now down 15% of domestic staff.

Elon may be gone, but it’s just getting started. Image
7/ Bottom line?

This isn’t just a reorg.
It’s a message.

Trump’s taking a sledgehammer to the permanent bureaucracy—and winning in court while he does it.

The Deep State is shrinking—and it’s about time. 🔥🇺🇸

🚨 NEW: Trump tells South Korea: Help contain China or no shipbuilding deal.

America’s shipyards have been gutted. China’s are 230x larger.

Trump is rebuilding our Navy and our shipbuilding. He’s not doing it alone, but he's not giving it away for free.

Here’s how. 🧵 Image
2/ On July 11, a top South Korean official revealed that Trump’s team made support for anti-China strategy a condition for U.S.-Korea shipbuilding cooperation.

In short: If Seoul wants tariff relief and defense contracts, it must help confront Beijing.

3/ Trump’s message: Real partners. No free rides, no more “allies” cozying up to China while cashing U.S. checks.

South Korea has the world’s best shipbuilding tech — and Trump wants to leverage that to rebuild U.S. naval power faster and cheaper. Image

🚨 BREAKING: Trump just made a way to cut China out — not just from the U.S., but from Asia’s economy too.

This is next-level economic warfare — and it’s working.

Here’s how Trump is surrounding Xi with tariffs. 🧵Image
2/ Last month, Trump struck a new trade deal with China.

But he’s not stopping there.

Now he’s targeting every Asian country China uses to dodge tariffs.

His message? Do business with us — or get hit harder.

3/ The strategy is brilliant:

Trump’s deal with Vietnam includes a 40% tariff on Chinese goods transshipped through Hanoi.

(That is: “Made in China” relabeled as “Made in Vietnam.”)

China can’t use Vietnam to sneak around U.S. tariffs anymore.

🚨BREAKING: Trump just launched America’s next Moonshot.

You thought it was just new U.S., Ukraine, & Greenland sources.

But now he’s taking on China in a $20 TRILLION race to mine the sea floor!

And if we win, we break the CCP’s grip on the entire green tech supply chain. 🧵 Image
2/ China controls:

🔹 70% of cobalt
🔹 85% of rare earth processing
🔹 90% of EV battery supply chains

Now they’ve secured five contracts to mine the Pacific seafloor through a UN agency THEY bankroll. Image
3/ Trump’s not waiting.

He just signed an executive order unleashing American deep-sea mining and ordering Commerce, Defense, Interior & State to coordinate the effort.

Why? Because the ocean floor may hold the world’s largest untapped supply of critical minerals. Image

🚨 “The Biggest Conservative Victory in 30 Years”

That’s what Club for Growth founder & senior economist @StephenMoore just called Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill. He’s right.

More to the point, no one has been a bigger deficit hawk than Steve. Elon's amazing, but wrong.

🧵 Image
@StephenMoore 2/ Yes, it’s a massive tax cut.

✅ Ends Biden’s $4 TRILLION tax hike
✅ Cuts taxes for families + small businesses
✅ Makes Trump tax cuts permanent

But the bill does way more than that. I just wrote a thread on some of it.

Some “hidden gems”…

@StephenMoore 3/ 🎓 School Choice Revolution

The bill lets low-income parents take their federal dollars and choose the best school — private, charter, Catholic — YOU name it.

The most aggressive federal school choice law in U.S. history.

De-funds failing government schools. Image

🚨 The headlines abt Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill, now law, are all about tax cuts, deficits, and Elon.

But here are 10 MASSIVE wins that have nothing to do with that, and will change life for every American — from the border to babies.

THREAD🧵 Image
2/ 🇺🇸 $150 Billion for the Border

Trump just secured the largest immigration enforcement funding in U.S. history:

— $46.5B for the Wall
— $45B for ICE detention
— $14.4B for deportation ops
— $13.5B for state & local cooperation

ICE is now bigger than the Russian military! Image
3/ 🛫 Fixing America’s Broken Air Traffic Control

— $12.5B for a total ATC overhaul
— Replacing 1970s tech (floppy disks, copper wire, rotary phones!)
— New radar, fiber optics, near-miss prevention tech
— Better training for air traffic controllers

Fewer delays, safer skies. Image

🚨 BREAKING: Trump Orders Chinese Company to Divest from U.S. Defense Supplier.

The company’s products are used in U.S. military and critical infrastructure.

It's about time. But Biden's people didn't care. 🧵 Image
Image
2/ China–based Suirui International secretly bought Jupiter Systems in 2020, during the Pandemic.

Jupiter makes command-and-control systems for:

🔹 Military
🔹 Space
🔹 Law enforcement
🔹 Power grids
🔹 Hospitals
🔹 Banks Image
3/ Trump’s team investigated.

What they found was chilling:

📡 China was gaining access to a company embedded deep in America’s infrastructure.

CFIUS flagged it as a national security threat.

Trump took action. Image
