🚨 Trump is abolishing the Department of Education.

Not trimming it. Not reforming it. Shutting it down.

And this week, the Supreme Court gave him the green light.

Let’s break down what just happened — and why killing DOE will IMPROVE education.🧵👇 Image 2/ Trump campaigned on killing the DoE.

Why? Because it:

❌ Doesn’t teach a single student
❌ Pushes radical ideology
❌ Burns $100B/year for no results
❌ Skims huge amts off the top for Deep Staters, not students

Now he’s delivering — just like he promised. Image

🚨 Trump is Cleaning Up America’s Food Supply — And Big Food Is Scrambling to Keep Up.

Forget the FDA of the past. Trump’s MAHA campaign is real—and it’s working.

14 major food giants just surrendered to the pressure.

THREAD 🧵👇 Image 2/ In February, Trump and RFK launched the Make America Healthy Again Commission.

Most ignored it. But then in April, the Trump administration dropped a bomb:

🔻 All synthetic food dyes will be phased out nationwide.

Yes—ALL petroleum-based dyes are being banned. Image

🔥 BOOM: Trump just dropped a 100% tariff hammer on every country buying Russian oil — and NATO’s new Secretary General says it’s “smartly, wisely designed.”

🇨🇳 China
🇮🇳 India
🇧🇷 Brazil

🚨 Trump just killed California’s $135 BILLION “train to nowhere.”

Now he’s pulling the plug—and showing how markets work and socialism fails.

The contrast with private Brightline is brutal. 🧵👇 Image 2/ The Biden Admin threw BILLIONS at California’s fantasy train project.

16 years later:

❌ No high-speed rail
❌ $7B funding gap
❌ Zero electrification

Trump said NO MORE.

Sec. Sean Duffy officially killed the grant this week. The grown-ups are back. Image

🚨 Biden didn’t sign his pardons. His staff did—with an autopen. That's called FORGERY.

Over 4,000 commutations and pardons.

Mass death row commutations. Family. Fauci.

All without the president fully conscious.

This isn’t just scandalous. And it's not just pardons.
🧵👇 Image 2/ Let’s be blunt: Joe Biden wasn’t running the White House.

His unelected staff and family were wielding powers the Constitution gives ONLY and NONTRANSFERABLY to him.

They used a machine to fake his signature without his knowledge. Image

🚨BREAKING: State Department officials admit they didn’t know how many employees worked there.

It took 3 months just to get a headcount.

Now 3,000 bureaucrats are gone.

Here’s how Marco Rubio is gutting the Deep State—and why it's important. 🧵Image
Image
2/ One official confessed: “It’s sort of scary as a taxpayer... Who are these people?”

Dozens of HR departments.
Over 700 offices.
One form required 50+ clearances to sign.

This is the foreign policy machine that told you it was "managing" China. And Iran. Image

🚨 BREAKING: Adam Schiff has been criminally referred to the DOJ for mortgage fraud.

Let's break it down 🧵 Image 2/ The Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) says Schiff falsified mortgage documents from 2003 to 2019 to secure favorable rates.

The fraud involved multiple homes in Maryland and California—at the same time.

Here’s what it says—and why it matters 🧵 Image 2/ Japan’s official 2025 defense white paper:

“China is the greatest strategic challenge Japan has faced since WWII.”

This is the most direct language Tokyo has used in decades.

🚨 Trump just announced pharma tariffs to END our deadly dependence on Chinese prescription drugs.

80% of U.S. drug precursors come from China. How did past administrations allow that?

Trump's goal? Bring our medicine supply home—or pay a 200% price.

Here’s what’s coming. 🧵 Image
Image
2/ This is the biggest reshoring push since Trump saved U.S. Steel.

Starting later this month, tariffs will hit foreign-made pharmaceuticals.

A low tariff at first.
A 200% tariff later.

Message to Big Pharma: manufacture in America—or pay up. Image

🚨BREAKING: Trump Just Flipped the Holdouts

After 12 GOP rebels tanked the House crypto vote—Trump pulled them into the Oval Office.

Now they’re back on board.

Tomorrow, the Anti-CBDC vote goes forward.

This is why we call him the dealmaker. 🧵 Image 2/ The rule vote failed 196–223.

Why?

Freedom Caucus members were worried the Senate would gut the CBDC ban from the crypto bills.

It's a reasonable concern. But Trump's on it.

So Trump got to work. Image

After millions were coerced.

Thread 🧵 Image 2/ Dr. Marty Makary, new FDA Commissioner, just told EpochTV:

“I personally know people who’ve been injured by the vaccine… I personally know friends who lost a loved one from the mRNA COVID vaccine.”

🚨 BREAKING: The U.S. Army just unveiled a weapon that melts drones mid-air.

Not a laser.
Not a missile.

A MICROWAVE CANNON called Leonidas — one pulse disables 50+ drones.

No ammo. No reload. Just pure energy.

This changes EVERYTHING 🧵 2/ Leonidas is America’s new directed-energy weapon.
It fires high-powered microwave bursts that fry enemy electronics instantly.

Not jamming. Total destruction of drone swarms in a single flash.

Think: Iron Dome meets Star Trek.

The same people who gave us:

💥 Forever wars

🔥 The Most Important Alliance You’re Not Watching 🔥

Trump is building a trade and military partnership with India so powerful, it’s ripping China’s future in half.

This could be the greatest geopolitical shift of the century.

And Beijing is panicking.

🧵 A thread: Image 2/ Trump’s plan is simple:

✅ End China’s monopoly on U.S. manufacturing
✅ Shift trade to a reliable ally
✅ Box in China militarily

That ally? 🇮🇳 India.
