America is the greatest country in the world.

This a nation of settlers, explorers and pioneers. Our ancestors settled a frontier, built skyscrapers and split atoms, and planted our flag on the moon.

Missouri has been at the heart of it all — every step of the way. 🧵 Image In 1799, an old man packed up his things and left Kentucky for the wild frontier.

His name was Daniel Boone. He was 65 years old.

Kentucky had gotten "too crowded," he said. "I want more elbow room."

So he headed west: to the Spanish-controlled territory of Missouri. Image

🚨 The Supreme Court just delivered a HUGE win on birthright citizenship.

But it's even bigger than that. They also reaffirmed that rogue district judges can't issue nationwide injunctions to stop President Trump from carrying out his agenda.

This is a big, big deal. 🧵 Image This case wasn’t just about just about birthright citizenship—it was about the proper role of the courts in our political system.

I called this after oral arguments took place for the case last month: "Trump could be on the cusp of a big win."

The entire Democratic Party is lining up behind an anti-American open borders socialist who wants to tear down the country that welcomed him and his family.

Don't look away.

This is who they are. 🧵 Image Zohran Mamdani just won the Democratic primary for mayor of New York City. He wants to:

• End cooperation with ICE
• End deportations of criminals
• Abolish prisons
• Defund the police
• Decriminalize all drugs
• Have taxpayer-funded sex changes for kids

...and much more.

King George Soros is bankrolling "No Kings Day"—a national day of riots—on June 14th through one of his leftist NGOs.

Soros financed the mass migration crisis. Now he's mobilizing his army of illegal aliens and far-left activists to try to stop President Trump from ending it. 🧵 Image
Image
The Left wants to nationalize the riots in Los Angeles. On June 14th—the 250th birthday of the U.S. Army—they're planning to organize 1,500 "No Kings Day" protests across the country.

They call it a "nationwide day of defiance." Image

This is how it always works.

The Right wins elections, and the Left pretends to magically rediscover the Constitution, the rule of law and free speech.

Don't fall for it. 🧵 Image Last week, 60 Minutes' Scott Pelley gave a dramatic commencement speech warning that "our sacred rule of law is under attack. Journalism is under attack. Universities are under attack. Freedom of speech is under attack."

We've heard these lines a million times before. Image

The Hur audio makes unavoidable what free thinking Americans had known—for most (all) of his four years, Joe Biden was mentally incapable of serving as President.

It's why I was the first Senator to call for the 25th Amend.

The deeper question—who was running our country? 🧵 Axios finally published the long-sought-after audio from Special Counsel Robert Hur's 2023 interview of President Biden regarding Biden's classified documents found near his Corvette.

Its content was exactly what we all expected.

🚨 SCOTUS just heard arguments on President Trump's birthright citizenship order.

This case is big. It isn't just about birthright citizenship—it's about the limits of how rogue judges can use nationwide injunctions.

My prediction: Trump could be on the cusp of a big win. 🧵 Image Solicitor General John Sauer (who was my Solicitor General back in my AG days) argued for President Trump. Right out of the gate, multiple liberal justices were swinging for his head, but they could never land the critical blow on Teflon John.

Illegals who broke our laws to enter the US aren’t due the same process as citizens.

SCOTUS and the Constitution agree: illegals' rights are limited, especially in deportation.

President Trump will deport millions of illegals without a hearing. Here's how. 🧵 Image In 1996, back Congress passed the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act, which created "expedited removal" for certain classes of illegal aliens who had been in the country less than two years. Image

And there it is: Proof that the FBI covered up the political motive behind the 2017 congressional baseball shooting.

The shooter was a left-wing extremist who explicitly set out to kill GOP congressmen. The FBI knew this. But they told the public it was just “suicide by cop.” 🧵 Image This stuff isn't "incompetence." It's specific, intentional ideological corruption. The FBI—like so many other institutions in American life—has become a vehicle for manipulating and shaping public narratives to serve left-wing interests.

And the media is eager to help: Image

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.
