🚨 Trump just ended free college tuition for illegal immigrants.

Clinton opened the door.
Obama widened it.
Trump just slammed it shut.

Here’s what just happened — and why it matters. 🧵 Image
2/ For decades, illegal aliens accessed taxpayer-funded education programs — including tuition-free career, technical, and adult education.

Did YOU go to college for free? Did your kids? No?

Clinton made it possible.
Bureaucrats kept it going.
Taxpayers got the bill. Image
3/ Trump’s Dept. of Education just issued new guidance:

❌ No more federal funds for illegals in postsecondary programs
✅ Providers must verify eligibility
🇺🇸 Funds are now reserved for American citizens and legal immigrants Image
4/ The move enforces PRWORA — a 1996 law meant to stop illegals from accessing federal benefits.

But Clinton-era bureaucrats deliberately carved out exceptions to sneak illegals back in.

Trump is ending the end-run. Image
5/ The White House estimates this change — combined with new restrictions at HHS and the Labor Dept — will:

💰 Save taxpayers $40 billion
🏛️ Reverse decades of bureaucratic defiance
🇺🇸 Put Americans first in federal funding Image
6/ Education Secretary Linda McMahon put it simply:

“Hardworking American taxpayers will no longer foot the bill for illegal aliens.”

That includes ESL programs, workforce grants, and more. Image

🚨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 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

🌍 THREAD: The Problem of Global Order (And What Comes Next)

The “rules-based international order” is falling apart.

Why? Because there is no shared order anymore. Not really.

It was always our order. Russia, China, and the Muslim world never bought in. 🧵👇 Image
2/ America didn’t just win WWII. We rebuilt our enemies. We forgave. We led.

As Truman put it: “We totally defeated our enemies and then brought them back to the community of nations.”

Only America could have done that.

And for decades, the world followed our lead. Image
3/ But the so-called “international community” was never universal.

It was a Western invention—rooted in 1648's Peace of Westphalia.

The idea? Independent nation-states. National sovereignty. Balance of power.

Each nation decides its own course.

🚨 $52 BILLION.

That’s how much the NIH gets every year — from you.

But instead of funding breakthrough cures, it’s bloated with bureaucracy, silos, and paper-pushing.

It’s time to ask: Isn't it time we fund real science… instead of just sustaining the swamp? 🧵 Image
2/ The NIH should be a rocket ship for discovery.

Instead, $9 billion went just to admin overhead last year — not labs, not cures, not patients.

Petri dishes? No.
Paperwork? Yes.

Plus all that bioweapons research, of course.... Image
3/ The NIH is 27 different fiefdoms, barely talking to each other.

Overlap, duplication, and dysfunction are rampant.

This isn’t how you run a modern research institution.

It’s how you avoid real breakthroughs and lose the race to China. Image

🚨 Leftists are now bringing children to protest illegal immigrant raids… at a pot farm.

The media: “Kids fleeing tear gas! Trump is scum!”

But here’s what they’re not telling you — and why this entire spectacle was manufactured for outrage. 🧵 Image
2/ ICE just raided a massive marijuana farm in California.

✅ Dozens arrested
✅ Child slaves found
✅ Illegal aliens employed
✅ Protester fired a gun at a federal agent

This wasn’t a peaceful protest. This was a criminal operation with violent resistance. Image
3/ But what video went viral?

Not the gunman.
Not the flagpole-wielding protesters attacking ICE.
Not the underage labor.

Instead: Children running from tear gas.

Why were children even there?
