Foreign governments are building a global censorship-industrial complex to crush freedom of speech online.

Now, they're trying to force social media companies to censor American speech on U.S. soil.

I wrote to @elonmusk to sound the alarm. 🧵 Image In Europe and elsewhere, foreign governments have imposed draconian censorship on their own people.

But they're also trying to impose it here—wielding their power to force U.S. companies to manipulate algorithms and take down content posted on U.S. soil.

European governments have imposed tyrannical censorship on their own citizens.

Now, they're trying to impose it on America.

Today, I'm asking the Trump Administration to sanction foreign actors—in the European Union and elsewhere—who aid and abet this censorship regime. 🧵 Image Over the past decade, we've seen alarming attacks on basic liberties across the West. In Europe, many governments have thrown their citizens in jail—sometimes for years at a time—for criticizing mass immigration, gender ideology, and various other parts of the left-wing program. Image

Rogue Judge Boasberg has been rubber-stamping gag orders in violation of the law. The federal courts response: "these requests are normally granted."

This practice aids and abets prosecutorial abuses.

Here's what happened—and how it connects to Judge Boasberg and Jack Smith.🧵 Recently, the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts sent a letter to Congress admitting that judges have been improperly rubberstamping non-disclosure orders—gag orders that prevent phone companies from alerting customers that law enforcement has subpoenaed their records.

I was just targeted and sued by Communist China in a $50 Billion Lawfare campaign—retaliation against me for winning a $24 Billion judgment against China for hoarding PPE during COVID.

This baseless, meritless lawfare is unprecedented. I'm fighting it with everything I've got.🧵 Image April 2020: I filed Schmitt v. the People's Republic of China, fighting back against the PRC's hoarding of PPE and lying to the international community.

Today: The Wuhan Virology Lab (yes, that one) and the Chinese Government are suing me for exposing the truth. Image

20 Democrat states are suing the Trump Administration to block its H-1B visa crackdown.

These states claim they need H-1Bs to import "skilled foreign workers."

But let's take a look at how they're actually using these visas. 🧵 We'll start with California, whose AG accused the Trump Administration of trying to "shut out the skilled workers America depends on."

He claimed H-1Bs are needed to import "highly skilled foreign national workers" to fix "nationwide labor shortages."

Is the headless fourth branch of government constitutional? I say no.

Today, SCOTUS hears arguments in Trump v. Slaughter. The Court will decide the fate of "Humphrey's Executor," a 90-year-old unconstitutional precedent that created that fourth branch.

My Amicus Brief. 🧵 Image In March, President Trump fired two unaccountable Democrat Federal Trade Commissioners.

One of those commissioners, Rebecca Slaughter, sued—arguing the President did not have the power to fire her without cause.

No more delays. Judge Boasberg must be suspended immediately.

Impeachment is underway. He should not get to hear another case—this afternoon I led the effort to make that suspension happen.

On November 4, articles of impeachment were filed against U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg, Chief Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia—following my call for his impeachment.

Today, the State Department announced its plan to designate four violent Antifa cells as Foreign Terrorist Organizations.

It's a major step in our fight against Antifa's terror network.

I was proud to work with the administration to make it happen.

This is a huge deal. 🧵 Image Antifa is not an "idea." It is a sophisticated, violent terrorist movement—and its network extends far beyond our borders.

As I have outlined at length in the past, the Antifa violence we see on U.S. soil is driven by a global web of extremist groups.

Last night—while I presided—the Senate delivered both a funding bill and a private right of action to combat Jack Smith's lawlessness.

We are going to drag Arctic Frost from the court of public opinion to the highest courts in our land.

Here is why this is such a big deal.🧵 The Senate passed a continuing resolution to fund the government through January, along with a "minibus" containing three appropriations bills: MilCon/VA, Ag, and Legislative Branch.

The key provision here is in the Legislative Branch appropriations bill.

I just called for the impeachment of Judge Boasberg.

Boasberg is the poster child for rogue judges:

• Forcing his way onto Trump cases
• Fomenting a judicial "resist" campaign
• Issuing illegal gag orders on GOP Senators.

This rogue judge must go. Let's recap. 🧵 Judge Boasberg has a habit of forcing himself onto high-profile Trump cases that land in his court.

None was more notorious than the "Turn the Planes Around" case, where he tried to recall the deportation of MS-13 gang members under the Alien Enemies Act.

Tomorrow, I am holding a Senate Judiciary hearing on left wing political violence.

From assassinations to street violence and Antifa, the rise in leftist political violence must be vigorously opposed.

They not only threaten our lives, but our Constitutional Order. 🧵 Image Since 2024:

- Two different gunmen tried to kill President Trump.
- Charlie Kirk was murdered.
- Justice Kavanaugh 's would-be assassin was given a slap-on-the-wrist
- Luigi Mangioni murdered Brian Thompson
- Anti-ICE riots have wrecked cities.

And so much more.

The "No Kings Day" protests are an incredible example of how astroturfed the Left is.

Nothing about this was "grassroots" or organic. It's funded by billionaires, promoted by million-dollar ad buys, and organized by some of the most powerful left-wing groups in America. 🧵 Last week, a new group called "Home of the Brave" dropped $1 million on a national media blitz to juice turnout at the protests, runnings ads in more than 185 local papers across 31 states. They took out full-page ads in the New York Times, Washington Post, and USA Today. Image

The radicals of the 1960s failed to overthrow America by force — so they set out to capture it from within.

The Left's long march through the institutions was the defining political project of the last 50 years.

Now, the Right must take those institutions back for America. 🧵 Image

In one 18-month period between 1971-72, there were 2,500 domestic bombings on U.S. soil—a stunning rate of nearly five per day.

For many Americans, that fact is shocking. In today’s popular imagination, the politics of the 60s and 70s were Woodstock, peace signs, and hippies.

For years, media elites told us that "right-wing political violence" is America’s great domestic extremist threat.

Even today, they continue to cite the same handful of studies to "prove" that this is true.

But those "studies" are bunk.

I’m asking DOJ to fix this. 🧵 Image I just sent a letter to the Department of Justice urging them to conduct a serious, empirical study on the crisis of left-wing political violence.

Currently, no study of this sort exists.

The "data" we do have on political violence is laughably flawed, partisan junk science.

Today, I sent a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio urging him to designate the international Antifa networks as Foreign Terrorist Organizations.

Antifa isn’t just a domestic threat.

It’s part of a global system of violent far-left extremists. 🧵 Image President Trump has made it clear that Antifa should be treated as the terrorist threat it is.

Yesterday, he reaffirmed his intent to dismantle the group's international network—and said he wanted to see it designated as an FTO.

"Let’s get it done."

This is outrageous.

Some U.S. companies are using H-1B visas to staff their DEI offices.

I've reviewed numerous examples of hospitals, universities and other employers hiring foreign H-1B workers as DEI bureaucrats.

I'm urging USCIS to work with us to fix this. 🧵 Documents we reviewed show a range of U.S. employers have sought to hire foreign H-1B workers to fill their DEI positions.

For example, Yale New Haven Health filed Labor Condition Applications (LCA) for H-1B visas for the role of “Diversity and Inclusion Specialist” in 2021: Image

This would be an incredible victory — if they follow through.

We'll be watching very closely.

This is a big deal. 🧵 In American politics today, stories, narratives, ideas, etc all take shape on the big social media platforms before making their way into the general public discourse.

Online censorship rigged the entire American political debate in the Left's favor.

It just keeps getting worse.

This week, we learned that Joe Biden's FBI was actively targeting 92 conservative groups and individuals in a massive fishing expedition.

The list includes Charlie Kirk's organization, Turning Point USA. 🧵 The FBI's "Operation Arctic Frost" was launched in 2022, under the pretenses of investigating the Trump campaign and its conservative allies.

It was led by Tim Thibault—an FBI agent who was later forced to resign for his partisan corruption. Image

After President Trump fired her for cause (alleged mortgage fraud), former Fed Governor Cook is expected to sue.

This massive administrative state/separation of powers case will likely go to the Supreme Court.

Let's break down why President Trump is expected to win. 🧵 Image As the Supreme Court clarified a few months ago: the default rule is that Article II of the Constitution grants the President the authority to remove any federal official wielding executive power for any reason the President deems appropriate, including policy disagreements.

The FBI just made a historic, largest-of-its-kind personnel investment to combat crime in St. Louis.

I worked with @FBIDirectorKash all year to secure this investment. It will put criminals in jail, deport illegals, and get drugs off the street.

Let's break it down.🧵 Image This isn't some temporary fix, it's a PERMANENT investment from the Trump Administration.

Staffing levels at the FBI in St. Louis will hit their highest point in years. More agents on the ground means more investigations, more arrests, and safer streets for Missouri families. Image

Led by liberal judges, a federal court just undermined one of Congress's most powerful tools to rein in the Administrative State.

The court's decision allows unelected bureaucrats in DC to impose rules that Congress and the President expressly rejected.

Let me explain. 🧵 Image Under the Congressional Review Act, Congress can vote to repeal a regulation issued by an administrative agency.

If the President signs that resolution, then the regulation is repealed and the agency cannot create a "substantially similar" regulation.
