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.

The American Bar Association sat on the sidelines as our legal system was weaponized against normal Americans.

Now, they launch a pressure campaign against President Trump on day one.

We’ve had enough. It’s time to liberate our legal system from this failed institution. 🧵 Image

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.

🚨 Today, a federal court denied the Biden Administration's motions to stay the injunction in Missouri v. Biden. This is a big victory, and continues to ensure that the Biden Administration can't censor speech online.

Here are a few notable quotes from the order -> The Court states, "the First Amendment free speech rights of Plaintiffs by far outweighs the Defendants' interests."

The First Amendment is the beating heart of our Constitution.

The First Amendment is integral to maintaining our republican form of government and the belief that we are a country of free people, not oppressive government. Until the Missouri v. Biden lawsuit and later the Twitter Files, the Biden Administration’s efforts to coerce social media companies behind the scenes, through meetings and emails, was behind the scenes.

It’s Time To Dismantle The Administrative State dailycaller.com/2023/03/28/opi… The “Administrative State” is completely antithetical to the vision of our founders. It gives unelected bureaucrats the power to enact rules that have the full force and effect of law. It needs to be dismantled.

🚨The reported upcoming arrest of President Trump by hyper partisan Soros prosecutor Alvin Bragg is some Third World Banana Republic lunacy and a very, very dangerous road to go down. 🧵 Leftists in the United States are increasingly weaponizing investigations to persecute and prosecute political opponents.

Thanks to @elonmusk’s Twitter Files, we now know that James Baker had an outsized role in censoring the Hunter Biden laptop story at Twitter. Last week, we sent a letter to Twitter, asking the platform to look into whether any key documents were deleted. ImageImage Further, we asked Twitter to reveal who from the federal government communicated with Twitter to censor speech. Based on our recent depositions, we believe the previous list we received pursuant to a third party subpoena was incomplete.

🚨BREAKING: In our deposition of FBI agent Elvis Chan on Tuesday, we found that the FBI plays a big role in working with social media companies to censor speech - from weekly meetings with social media companies ahead of the 2020 election to asks for account takedowns. Chan, the FBI's FITF, and senior CISA officials had meetings with social media companies in the lead-up to the 2020 election, in which Chan personally told the social media companies that there could potentially be a Russian “hack and leak” operation shortly before the election.
