Democrat ENIGMA.

He’s not backing down one inch—and they’re LOSING IT.

Governor Greg Abbott went on Fox News to defend Texas’s RIGHT to redraw its Congressional map.

But he ended up EXPOSING the REAL reason the left is panicking.

It’s NOT just about the lines.

It’s about who’s switching sides.

🧵 THREAD This was a line in the sand.

With Democrats in full-blown meltdown mode, Governor Greg Abbott appeared on Fox News to break it down and defend the state’s right to redraw its congressional map.

Calm, clear, and utterly unshaken, Abbott laid out exactly what’s happening and why he’s not backing off.

“Sean, first of all, Texas is doing what we’re allowed to by the law,” Abbott told Hannity.

He reminded viewers that Democrats themselves sued after the last round of redistricting and lost.

“That lawsuit recognized that coalition districts are not required,” he explained.

“So Texas has a right to redraw these lines to FULLY represent the desires of every voter in the state.”

Then Abbott called out Texas Democrats for what he said was the real betrayal—not just abandoning the redistricting fight, but walking away from Texans in crisis.

“They ran away not just from this redistricting fight—they ran away from dealing with the flooding issues that are still echoing across the Kerrville area,” Abbott said.

“Families desperately need results from the state legislature in this 30-day special session that are not going to be delivered because Democrats are hanging out in Chicago and New York and other places.”

Texas law is on his side.

NEW - Stephen Miller Says Democrats Are Lying About Voter ID Concerns—Their Real Plan is to Flood The Zone With Illegals to STEAL Elections

This was never about protecting women.

Stephen Miller just unleashed on the Democrat Party—exposing them for spreading lies to hide a far more sinister agenda.

Democrats claim the SAVE Act would “disenfranchise women.”

@StephenM says that’s total nonsense—and he didn’t hold back:

“The only reason, Sean, you would be against any of that is if you wanted illegal aliens to vote and to vote in incredibly large numbers.”

“So let’s just deal with all of this BS right now.”

He mocked the idea that married women can’t get ID—calling it one of the dumbest talking points he’s ever heard:

“Every other country in the world of any note requires an I.D. to vote. The notion the Democrats are pushing that married women, who by the way, are a Republican voting demographic, cannot get I.D., could be one of the dumbest talking points I have heard in my entire life.”

Then he exposed the real endgame:

“Democrats want illegal aliens to vote. It’s why Joe Biden and his administration gave millions, we verified this now, millions with an ‘m’, of illegal aliens social security numbers.”

“And once you have a social security number, it is incredibly easy to vote, to collect welfare, to get free government benefits, to participate in every aspect of American life.”

“This isn’t a mystery. They want illegals to steal elections, Sean.” Biden and Mayorkas Engineered a Border Invasion—Designed to Deliver Millions of Illegal Votes

The Voter ID fight? That’s just one piece of the puzzle.

Stephen Miller says the real scandal is the system itself—deliberately constructed to rig elections from the inside out.

“The Biden administration, Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, devised a scheme to fly illegal aliens into the country and then to escort them en masse across the border by the millions and to give them something known as parole.”

And once they’re here?

“Which gives them a work permit, which gives them a social security number, which gives them access to the voting booth.”

“This was the plan all along. To get them here illegally so they can get free government benefits, get hooked to welfare and be able to participate in American elections.”

He says this isn’t just mismanagement—it’s a direct assault on democracy.

And it gets worse.

Miller called out California for refusing to cooperate with ICE—even when it comes to child predators and violent criminals:

“These are illegal aliens in California who have been arrested by California police, by California law enforcement for serious crimes, for crimes against children, for felonies, for crimes that threaten public safety and they are refusing to hand these criminal illegal aliens over to ICE.”

“Instead they are freeing them back into the cities to offend and offend again. By any definition, what California is doing is criminal. It is a violation of our laws, it is one of the most heinous things I have seen in my entire life in Washington.”

This wasn’t a border failure. It was the strategy.

NEW - Chamath Says Trump Didn’t Just Shake Up the System—He Broke the Elites’ Entire Economic Playbook

They’re not just upset—they’re terrified.

Chamath Palihapitiya, once one of the Democratic Party’s top donors, is now exposing the global elites’ unified strategy—and why it’s crumbling fast.

@chamath declared:

“They’ve deeply benefited from a 20-year regime of taking jobs and moving them anywhere in the world that allowed you to optimize for profit.”

That system made Wall Street and multinational corporations wildly wealthy. They shipped out American jobs, gutted the middle class, and got rewarded with decades of near-zero interest rates.

“It benefited from an economic regime of low volatility, where you could keep interest rates effectively at zero for quasi forever.”

But then Trump happened—and their grip on economic policy began to slip.

Palihapitiya explained that the elites had grown accustomed to scaring presidents into compliance. But not this one.

“What they see is an inability to create and scaremonger the White House into economic policy.”

And that, he said, is shaking them to the core.

“This is very troublesome for them because they have been able to control from Wall Street or from London, or from these other places, how governments behave.”

Now, with Trump back on the scene, their entire system is under threat—and they know it.

“What you see right now is them violently trying to push back and trying to create a narrative.”

This was never just about tariffs or trade.

It was about control.

And the people who built an empire on cheap labor, financial games, and backroom influence are watching it all slip away. Chamath says the media is pushing a lie and it’s all about control.

“There is an entire wing of the media that is now trying to say that the president ‘blinked,’”

But why are they so desperate to sell that narrative?

“I think they want us to think that because they want to believe that they can talk about the stock market and then effect policy every five and 10 minutes.”

In other words: Wall Street wants to steer the ship—and they’re furious that it’s no longer working.

Chamath pushed back on the panic headlines and reminded everyone what the data actually shows:

“The stock market is back to where it was on May 26th of 2024. By no means is there a crash. Absolutely there is volatility, but we are not in a place where it is time to all of the sudden revisit these aspirations that we have had.”

This isn’t the time to retreat—it’s a once-in-a-generation opportunity.

“We are in a unique moment in time where we have the ability to reset the global order and we have to follow through.”

“A billion dollars for a simple online survey; Do you like the national park?”

The event kicked off with President Trump asking Elon Musk to explain the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

What followed was monumental.

Musk addressed the reporters, laying out his vision for DOGE, why it matters, and how it’s crucial for America’s future.

Musk explained how the fourth branch of federal government—the leviathan, the swamp, the bureaucracy—must be dismantled before it destroys the nation.

@elonmusk stated:

"So at a high level, if you say what is the goal of DOGE and I think a significant part of the presidency, is to restore democracy."

"If there is not a good feedback loop from the people to the government and if you have a rule of the bureaucrat, if the bureaucracy is in charge, then what meaning does democracy actually have?"

"If the people cannot vote and have their will it be decided by their elected representatives, in the form of the president, and the Senate, and the House, then we do not live in a democracy, we live in a bureaucracy."

"So it is incredibly important we close that feedback loop, we fix that feedback loop and that the public's elected representatives, the president, the House, and the Senate, decide what happens, as opposed to a large unelected bureaucracy."

"You can't have autonomous federal bureaucracy."

"You have to have one that is responsive to the people."

"That is the whole point of a democracy."

"If you just asked the founders today and said what do you think of the way things have turned out?"

"We have this unelected, fourth, unconstitutional branch of government which is the bureaucracy, which has in a lot of ways currently more power than any elected representative."

"This is not something the people want and it does not match the will of the people."

"We also have to address the deficit."

"So we have a 2 trillion-dollar deficit and if we don't do
something about this deficit, the country is going bankrupt."

"It is really astounding that the interest payments alone on national debt, exceed the Defense Department budget. Which is shocking."

"If that just keeps going, we're essentially going to bankrupt the country."

"It's not optional for us to reduce the federal expenses, it's essential."

"What they're doing is they choosing illegal aliens over the safety and security of their own citizens and the men and women of law enforcement , who are out there trying to protect their citizens."

NEW - The Era of DEI is Over — Trump Administration Pledges to Eliminate All Diversity Initiatives in Transportation After Deadly Plane Crash 🧵|

Following the tragic midair collision that claimed 67 lives last night, President Trump condemned diversity initiatives within the transportation sector, vowing to restore a strictly merit-based system.

During a White House briefing on the disaster, President Trump and his cabinet tore into race-based DEI policies, particularly within the FAA, suggesting that the accident could have been prevented without such programs in place.

President Trump:

"The FAA website shows the agency guidance on diversity hiring were last updated March 23, 2022. They wanted to make it even more so. Then I came in and I assume maybe this is the reason, the FAA, which is overseen by secretary Pete Buttigieg, a real winner, that guy's a real winner."

"You know how badly everything has run since he ran the department of transportation? He's a disaster!"

"He was a disaster as a mayor, he ran his city into the ground and he is a disaster now. He's got a good line of bullshit."

"The Department of Transportation is government agency charged with regulating civil aviation. He runs it, 45,000 people and he has run it right into the ground with his diversity."

"A group within the FAA, another story, determined that the workforce was too white. That they had concerted efforts to get the administration to change that and to change it immediately."

"We want the people that are competent." Vice President JD Vance

"Something the president said that bears reemphasizing, which is that when you don't have the best standards in who you are hiring it means on the one hand you aren't getting the best people in government, but on the other hand it puts stresses on the people who are already there."

"I think that's a core part of what President Trump is going to bring and has already brought to Washington, D.C."

"We want to hire the best people because we want the best people at air traffic control and we want to make sure we have enough people at air traffic control who are competent to do the job."

"If you go to some of the headlines over the past ten years many hundreds of people suing the government because they would like to be air traffic controllers but turned away because of the color of their skin."

"That policy ends under Donald Trump's leadership, because safety is the first priority of our aviation industry."

"Today Americans' overall health is in grievous condition. Over 70% of adults and a third of children are overweight or obese. Diabetes is ten times more prevalent than it was during the 1960s. Cancer among young people is rising by one or 2% a year."

"The United States has worse health than any other developed nation. Yet we spend more on healthcare, at least double and in some cases triple as other countries."

"A healthy person has a thousand dreams, a sick person has only one."

"Today over half of our country men and women are chronically ill."

"This movement led largely by MAHA moms from every state. You can see many of them behind us today and in the hallways and in the lobbies. This is one of the most transcendent and powerful movements I've ever seen."

"i will conclude with a promise. To the members of this committee, to the president and to all the tens of millions of parents across America. Especially the moms who put this issue to center stage."

"Should I be so privileged as to be confirmed, we will make sure our tax dollars support healthy foods. We will scrutinize the chemical additives in our food supply and remove financial conflicts of interest from our agencies."

"As I explained to several stations yesterday, the aperture can continue to grow."

"Right now we're concentrating on public safety and safety threats and national security threats, but as we open up the aperture, looking for fugitives, those who had due process at great taxpayer expense, there's over a million of them, 1.4 million, they're on the table."

"Anybody in the country illegally, they're on the table, but we're going to go after them in a prioritization that makes sense."

One key initiative involves empowering the Secretary of State to deputize state, local, and federal law enforcement to assist in immigration enforcement operations.

"This is an example of how President Trump is unleashing a vast and broad array of federal statutory authority to secure the homeland."

"Authorities that Congress has enacted that exist in statute that have never been used before."

"The Secretary of Homeland Security has the authority to deputize both federal law enforcement as well as state and local law enforcement and the National Guard, to conduct immigration enforcement activities."

"The Secretary of Homeland Security has already used the authority to deputize other federal law enforcement, including all the law enforcement branches at DOJ and that authority will be leveraged shortly to deputize state and local law enforcement to conduct immigration arrests as well."

Over the past four years, many Americans missed President Trump’s legendary press conferences and his spirited exchanges with the media.

This marked the return of those unforgettable moments as President Trump held his first press conference of his second term—setting the tone for what’s to come. Here are some of the highlights: 1. Trump Stuns Reporter Who Tried to Corner Him on January 6th Pardons

This time around, President Trump is making it clear that he's not putting up with attacks from the media without firing back.

During the press conference, a left-wing reporter attempted to entrap President Trump on his pardon of D.J. Rodriguez, a January 6th defendant sentenced to over 12 years for allegedly using a stun gun on a D.C. police officer at the Capitol.

It didn't go the way the reporter wanted it go.

The reporter pressed;

"Among those you pardoned, D.J. Rodriguez, he drove a stun gun into the neck of a D.C. Police officer, who was abducted by the mob that day———Why does he deserve a pardon?"

President Trump's sharp response flipped the script;

"We'll take a look at everything but I can say this. Murderers today are not even charged. You have murderers that aren't charged all over."

"You take a look at what's gone on in Philadelphia, you take a look at what's gone off in LA, where people murder people and they don't get charged."

"These people have already served years in prison and, they've served them viciously."

"It's a disgusting prison, it's been horrible, it's inhumane. It's been a terrible, terrible thing."

"Take a look at Minneapolis because I was there and I watched it, and if I didn't bring in the National Guard that city wouldn't even exist today. People were killed and nobody went to jail."

"So these people have already served a long period of time and I made a decision to give a pardon."

"Joe Biden gave a pardon yesterday to a lot of criminals." "These are criminals that he gave a pardon to."

"You should be asking that question. Why did he give a pardon to all of these people that committed crimes?"

"I spoke to him this morning, Megyn. I mean, he's amazing. He's a fighter. He's been through this himself."

"He told me, the last thing he said to me, or two things, he said to me when I left his office when he chose me was——you're going to need to be tough as sh*t"

"You're going to need to be tough as sh*t."

"But he paused again as I was walking away and said; 'But you're the man for this moment. I chose you because you're the guy that's going to put the war fighters first. We haven't had that, we need a guy that's kicked down doors and understands the consequences of war and why us deterring war, fighting it and winning it is important.'"

"He get's it."

"He reiterated the same thing this morning. 'Hey Pete, I got your back. It's a fight. They're coming after you. Get After it.'"
