The 6 most important issues in this country are crime, economy, immigration, energy, social equality, and abortion.
A 🧵 on how I would legislate them if I were a Republican in the next Congress:
[1/7]
1) Crime: Draft a new crime bill and include
• hate crime status for crimes against political opponents.
• minimum jail times for (i) political intimidation, and (ii) violent crimes committed in the course of protest.

There are two primary functions of the executive: (1) campaigning & (2) governing. Trump is excellent at the former (one of the best), but very undisciplined with the latter.
Since 2020, this country has fallen into total disarray. In 2024, we will need a strong governor. (1/6)
Trump started his term w/ advisers like Steve Bannon & ended it w/ Fauci & Birx.
He let Paul Ryan run the entire legislative agenda from 2016 to 2018.
In 2018, Trump signed the First Step Act which was a jailbreak bill built on CRT after he was lobbied by Kim Kardashian. (2/6)

Republicans have a very solid opportunity to establish a filibuster-proof Senate majority (60+ seats) by 2024. Given a favorable 2022 turnout, 2024 looks ripe for a big Republican gain. [1/4]
In 2022, the best case scenario is Republicans hold all incumbent seats, and then pick up, in order of likelihood: (1) NV, (2) GA, (3) AZ, and (4) NH. [2/4]

🚨 Elon secured financing of $46.5B.
This is huge.
Now that Elon has the financing, he can execute what’s called a “tender offer.” The tender offer bypasses the board and goes direct to shareholders. (1)

Elon appears to be pushing the tender route to avoid the board’s blocking maneuvers.
Now, Elon needs a coalition of shareholders to (2)

A lot of people are wondering what’s going to happen next in the Elon/Twitter saga.
Here is a 🧵 on what the process looks like & why I’m bullish on Elon owning Twitter.
Twitter can’t just say “sold” or “not sold.” Public companies must go through a rigid process whenever (1)
they receive a tender offer.
Twitter must now form an independent committee with its own advisors to evaluate the offer & determine the “entire fairness” of the offer, which will prob require them to run a sale process. Essentially, they will have to shop around the offer. (2)

In 2020, every governor & the POTUS had an opportunity to take political risk & showcase their judgment & leadership when the Covid fiasco kicked off.
Big Ron clearly & decisively rose above the competition. In fact, he did so well over the [1/9]
next 2 yrs that newly elected R governors like Youngkin (who won w/o Trump) are stealing from Heavy D’s playbook (which they should bc it’s a winning playbook).
Big Ron won FL in ‘18 by .4% against Andrew Gillum. He might win his re-election in ‘22 by 10 points. Floridians [2/9]

Vets, here is how you max out benefits:
1. Disability: getting 100% is not hard. The rate for a 100% single guy is $3,332.06 / mo (UNTAXED). This is equivalent to $4,165.08 / mo if you were taxed. There is your first $50k / yr in passive income. If you are struggling w/ [1/5]
claims, hire a VA lawyer (will pay for itself). DM me if u need refs.
2. Voc Rehab & Employment:
covers 100% of school & certs (eg bar exam). Alternatively, can provide grants (free $) to start a business (up to $100k / yr for 3 yrs if you have *solid* plan). Provides BAH [2/5]
