Amazon spent decades profiting off of America Last trade policies.

First, they tried to attack President Trump's trade policies with this silly stunt. Then, they got hit for it. Now they're trying to back-pedal.

But it's too late. 🧵 Image Amazon refuses to tell its users where most of their products are made—or if (and when) they’re made in foreign sweatshops. I bet you can guess why.

But NOW, you see, they're all about "transparency"!

That's really what they want us to believe?

It's impossible to overstate how absurd this is.

You can't serve in the military if you have asthma.

But because of two federal judges, we have to bend over backwards to accommodate a "condition" that requires lifelong hormones and multiple surgeries?

We need to fight this. 🧵 Image At the outset of his administration, President Trump signed a common-sense executive order barring transgender military service. In February, the Pentagon issued a memo affirming that people with a history of gender dysphoria are "incompatible" with U.S. military service. Image

The Supreme Court just heard arguments in Mahmoud v. Taylor—a case about whether public schools can force kids to learn radical transgender ideology, even over parents' religious objections.

The Justices are likely to deal a blow to this woke ideology.

Here's what happened. 🧵 In 2022, the Montgomery County public school system introduced a series of "LGBTQ-inclusive" storybooks to be taught in pre-K to 5th grade.

When hundreds of parents raised religious objections, school bureaucrats eliminated parental notice and the ability to opt-out.

The Supreme Court bypassed normal appellate procedure to halt President Trump's deportation of more illegal aliens.

There a lot of misinformation floating around about judicial rulings, the Alien Enemies Act, and immigration law.

Let's clear a few things up.🧵 On Apr. 7, SCOTUS held: 1. Judge Boasberg had no jurisdiction over the Tren de Aragua deportations under the Alien Enemies Act; 2. Those TdA thugs must seek relief under "habeas" where they are confined (Texas).

This takes the AEA cases from DC to TX.

Until yesterday, the Biden Administration's "Plan for Countering Domestic Terrorism" was classified.

Now, thanks to @DNIGabbard, it's public.

It's a roadmap for left-wing ideological warfare. 🧵 Image In June 2021, the Biden admin released its public strategy for "countering domestic terrorism."

In a lawsuit, @America1stLegal discovered that there was a separate, classified version of that plan.

But the private version wasn't public—until now.

It's hard to overstate how big this is.

For years, the State Department ran a global censorship operation—not just in America, but across the West.

Now, it's pushing free speech instead.

Here's why this matters. 🧵 Image The "disinformation" and "hate speech" industry is one of the top threats to Western freedom today.

"From its very beginnings," @SecRubio writes, this industry "has existed to protect the American establishment from the voices of forgotten Americans."

This is one I'm especially excited about. Sarah Rogers is a free speech champion—and we've worked together on some of the big anti-censorship fights of the past few years.

Another sign that this State Department is serious about dismantling the censorship-industrial complex. Image Today, Sarah had her confirmation hearing for Undersecretary of Public Diplomacy at the State Department.

Under Biden, that position effectively served as a U.S. "censorship czar."

Sarah is going to help this administration transform it into a "free speech czar" role instead. Image

Klaus Schwab, kingpin of the World Economic Forum and face of the woke globalist movement is RESIGNING.

We didn't eat the bugs. We don't live in the pod. We won. He lost.

Here's the story of Schwab's reign of terror. 🧵 Image Founded in 1971, the WEF was originally a small club of faceless suits. By 2025, it had become an international powerhouse, representing the global special interests eroding American sovereignty and liberty.

How powerful? President Zelenskyy wore a suit. Image

🚨 President Trump has fired a lot of Administrative State bureaucrats. Praise the Lord.

The liberal media cries foul, but what if I told you President Trump was playing by the rules Joe Biden created.

In his quest for power, Joe Biden unwittingly helped MAGA. Here’s how. 🧵 Image In 2020, President Trump nominated Roger Severino to serve on and reform the Administrative Conference of the United States, a technocratic, deep state agency that manages many of the inner workings of the administrative state.

America is not an economic zone.

It's not a strip mall with an airport attached.

It's a nation. It's a people. It's our home.

For too long, our leaders have been selling our country off for parts.

Today, President Trump put America First. Here's why. 🧵 Since the end of the Cold War, U.S. trade policy has been an unmitigated disaster.

We've shipped millions of good jobs overseas, hollowed out our industrial capacity, and sacrificed our sovereignty on the altar of the "global economy"—while other nations reap the benefits. Image

Here's a terrifying fact.

According to some estimates, America would run out of key munitions in “less than one week” in a major conflict with China.

Less than one week.

We can't keep fighting other people's wars. It's time for America to come home. 🧵 Image A few quick data points.

As I mentioned above: In 2023, @CSIS ran a series of war games for a U.S.-China conflict in the Taiwan Strait. In every single scenario they ran, the U.S. ran out of critical munitions—such as long-range, precision-guided munitions—in less than one week. Image

It's official: USAID is dead.

This is a huge win — not just for America, but for all of Western civilization.

Here’s why. 🧵 Image Much of this has already been documented at length: Through USAID, billions of U.S. tax dollars were funneled to radical NGOs, media outlets, "civil society" groups, and foreign bureaucracies that actively worked against both American interests and conservative values worldwide.

Judge James Boasberg has now been assigned his FOURTH major Trump case.

This happens far too often. Big conservative cases magically end up in the hands of far-left judges. They tell us it's "random"—but it's not.

I'm demanding a full investigation, answers, and reforms. 🧵 Administrative court clerks’ offices assign cases to specific judges behind closed doors. Today, I wrote a letter to Judge Van Totenhove—the Chairman of the Rules Committee on the Judicial Conference of the United States—demanding a full investigation and reform of this process. Image

Across the West, our civilization is threatened by a radical network of NGOs.

These groups lie behind almost every crisis of our time—from mass censorship to mass migration.

Tomorrow, we're going to expose their war on freedom of speech. 🧵 Image In the internet age, information is power.

The Left knows the stakes. That's why they've waged a decade-long, multi-billion-dollar campaign to control what you see and say online.

I explained how their censorship operation works earlier this month:

The Tesla attacks are getting worse.

Arson. Molotov cocktails. Bouts of gunfire.

This isn't new. The Left has used violence as a political tool for decades.

Only one thing can stop this. In the words of Pat Buchanan: "Force, rooted in justice, and backed by moral courage." 🧵 Image Since January 6, 2021, we've been fed round-the-clock hysteria about "domestic terrorism" from the Right.

This is what the kids like to call "gaslighting."

The truth is, since the 1960s, political violence has overwhelmingly been a product of the Left.

🚨 President Trump just fired the two unaccountable Democrat Commissioners of the Federal Trade Commission. This bold action challenges the core thesis of the Administrative State (that technocrats should be politically insulated) and challenges the incredibly errant 1935 Supreme Court case Humphrey's Executor, which helped create the Deep State 🧵 x.com/afergusonftc/s… Throwing it back to your high school civics class: our nation was founded upon the idea that We the People get to pick our federal government: locally we elect members of Congress, states elect Senators, and nationally, we elect the President. All of the other people who work in our government are selected directly or indirectly by these elected officials. /2Image

The Left spent the past decade building a vast censorship enterprise.

A shadowy network of NGOs, tech groups and governments working to censor the Left's enemies—not just in America, but across the West.

Over the next four years, the GOP must expose + dismantle this system. 🧵 Image The censorship-industrial complex wasn't built overnight. It's been festering for years.

But the Biden administration mobilized an unholy alliance of government power, taxpayer dollars, NGOs and Big Tech companies to build it into a global censorship powerhouse.

This is such a tired argument.

America First means a foreign policy based on tangible American interests—not empty abstractions.

Foreign adventurism isn't "conservative" at all. It's Wilsonian liberalism, in new clothes.

The future of conservative foreign policy is REALISM. 🧵 Image The conservative worldview is "realist."

We oppose utopian ideology in all its forms, because we recognize that we live in a fallen world. Humans are flawed and imperfect creatures. We can't build Heaven on Earth—and it's highly dangerous to try.

🚨Don’t look now Jack Smith and the Biden Harris DOJ are cranking back up their Lawfare machine against @realDonaldTrump.

It’s Election Interference.

Jack Smith is like a rabid dog after his bone. It’s time he’s leashed.🧵

After the United States Supreme Court threw out Jack Smith’s first indictment and a federal court found his appointment to be unconstitutional, Jack Smith filed a new indictment against President Trump for alleged efforts to interfere in the 2020 presidential election—the great irony of these actions is that Smith is now decidedly interfering in the 2024 presidential election.

Jack Smith has weaponized the DOJ and has used it to make purely political attacks against President Trump.

I am demanding AG Garland and the DOJ hand over all internal communications with Jack Smith regarding his latest indictment of Trump.

I request answers to the following questions by October 11.

As Joe Biden heads to the border today for nothing more than a glorified photo op - it’s worth laying out the case of exactly how Biden created the crisis at the border.

A thread 🧵 On Biden’s first day in office, January 20, 2021, Biden terminated the national emergency at the southwestern border. He halted construction of the border wall.

Same day: Biden reversed a Trump Era executive order. The executive order put restrictions on immigration from countries associated with terrorism.

Same day: Biden pauses deportations for 100 days.

Same day: Biden reverses yet another Trump policy. This policy told law enforcement to enforce the immigration laws of the United States.
