Below, you can read my letter to @UnderSecPD laying out the case for sanctioning the foreign bureaucrats and NGOs who are trying to impose left-wing Euro-style speech codes on Americans. This is an urgent fight—for our country and for Western civilization.
At some point, European elites decided they would rather censor, persecute, and even jail their own citizens than confront the existential threats of mass migration, multiculturalism, and anti-Western leftism.
Now, they're trying to export their suicidal policies to America.
We can't allow that to happen. As @UnderSecPD put it in her thread announcing these sanctions today, this must be a "red line."
"Our message is clear: if you spend your career fomenting censorship of American speech, you're unwelcome on American soil."
The Optional Practical Training program is a cheap foreign-labor program for big companies and universities.
But it's undermining young Americans.
It’s time to overhaul or possibly end this terribly broken program all together. 🧵
OPT boxes young Americans out of the workforce, discriminates against American workers in favor of foreign labor, and suppresses wages and job opportunities for U.S. graduates. It distorts our higher education system, feeds “visa mill” fraud, and threatens our national security.
Under OPT, foreign nationals can work in the U.S. on student visas for up to 12 months after graduation, and up to three years for STEM fields.
In practice, it’s become a shadow guest-worker program, with no caps, labor-market tests, or any meaningful limits or standards at all.
Last month, I wrote to Secretary Rubio urging him to designate the international Antifa networks as Foreign Terrorist Organizations.
Antifa is a global terror network—and it's time we treated it like one.
An international system is driving left-wing violence on U.S. soil. 🧵
On July 4, 2025, 11 members of an Antifa terror cell carried out an armed ambush on an ICE facility in Texas.
They had spent months preparing—scouting out the site, taking surveillance notes, coordinating attack positions, and writing an operations plan to maximize casualties.
The militants—who had staged at a safe house the night before—arrived in body armor, carrying rifles. They detonated fireworks to lure officers out into the open, and then opened fire, and kept shooting until their guns jammed. One cop was hit in the neck and critically wounded.
Today, I’m leading a Senate Judiciary hearing on one of the most dangerous forces in American life today: Violent left-wing extremism.
Over the past few years, this threat has spiraled into an all-out crisis. 🧵
For the past 15 months, political violence has been a constant fact of American life.
We've seen arsons and bombings, armed ambushes and assaults, sniper attacks and mass shootings, riots and violent mobs. We have seen assassinations. We have seen murder. We have seen death.
Leftists tried to assassinate President Trump.
Leftists murdered Charlie Kirk.
Leftists have assaulted ICE agents, firebombed facilities, assassinated CEOs, and carried out armed ambushes against cops.
That isn’t random, spontaneous violence. It’s organized political terror.
In one 18-month period in the early 1970s, there were 2,500 bombings on American soil—nearly 5 a day.
Did you know that? Many Americans don't.
These leftist terrorists who declared war on America went on to work at top law firms, nonprofits, and Ivy League universities. 🧵
The left-wing violence of the 1970s was horrific.
The most infamous extremist group was the Weather Underground—which issued a "Declaration of War" against the U.S. government in 1970.
They bombed the Pentagon. They bombed the State Department. They bombed the U.S. Capitol.
And then? Many of them simply...waltzed right back into mainstream liberal society. Worse, actually: They were given positions of power and prestige in the defining mainstream institutions.
White-shoe law firms. Cushy book deals. Ivy League professorships. The whole nine yards.
. @DNIGabbard has released new, declassified documents revealing that in its final days the Obama Administration plotted to hamper the incoming Trump Administration with a phony Russia collusion narrative.
Here are three verifiable takeaways from the new documents. 🧵
1. The Steele Dossier played a role in the January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) of Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Multiple senior CIA officers argued against its inclusion because
"it failed to meet basic tradecraft standards."
When confronted with these flaws, CIA Director John Brennan
responded, "Yes, but doesn't it ring true," and ordered its inclusion in the ICA anyway.
