Say hello to Dylan Pedersen. He's in one of the anti-ICE Signal chats the FBI is investigating.

Dylan is a gay man who uses "he/they" pronouns. He is also an elementary school teacher with @TeachersOnCall and @bps271.

Would you feel comfortable with him teaching your kids?

THREAD: DHS published a report a few days ago highlighting its first year successes.

Unfortunately, this report has been overshadowed by the recent Border Patrol shooting.

Let's take a look at what Trump's DHS has accomplished so far.

🧵🧵🧵 DHS sealed the border shut, resulting in 95% fewer encounters per day than during the Biden administration.

People forget that Trump 45 struggled with the border. But not Trump 47, which got it secured pretty early on.

The anti-Trump, Jew-obsessed “right” is circulating a clip from 2023 (as the poster on the left shows) claiming that it’s Charlie Kirk’s last broadcast.

These people openly hated and attacked Charlie until yesterday. Now they’re using his murder to farm engagement—contemptible.
In the clip, Charlie criticizes left-wing Jews for their support of left-wing policies (as he should). In all other contexts, these types wouldn’t accept this as sufficiently anti-Semitic because such criticism is supported by rw American Jews and probably most Israelis.

Those confused as to why a leftist would choose to assassinate Charlie Kirk (vs someone more radical) reveal their own political ignorance. The left knows MAGA—not the delusional anti-MAGA rw fringe—is the primary/only threat to its hegemony. Material impact trumps edgelording. People on here tend to focus on ideas, statements, positions, etc. The left, having a better understanding of both power and political reality, possesses a much deeper understanding of the material dimension of politics.

In the 30s, American communists & sympathizers who visited the Soviet Union were so deluded that they were unaffected by the visible dysfunction.

Eugene Lyons, who lived in Russia at the time, wrote that Soviet tour guides quickly began wondering if all Americans were so stupid.
Lyons on why communism appealed to disaffected liberals: “It was a more respectable outlet for their cynicism, their economic frustrations, their nihilistic angers.”

NEW: ICE to reverse order exempting farms, hotels, and restaurants from immigration raids after learning that the White House didn’t support it.

So much for Trump doing amnesty! Stephen Miller vs Brooke Rollins—Miller won, thank God.

There’s a lot of confusion about the Big Beautiful Bill.

What matters most is that it constitutes the biggest single increase in immigration enforcement funding in US history.

Let’s take a look at what the bill will fund.

🧵🧵🧵 $75 billion for ICE, which includes $45 billion for detention – an 800% increase vs FY2024.

Incredible stuff at the National Gallery of Art today

Repeat after me: I am the black woman

Launching missile strikes against hostile Shiites who are targeting American ships and disrupting global trade is hardly "war" – it is an entirely necessary and justified use of military power, but war entails a lot more than that.

"Muslims have the right to attack US ships without any retaliation because they're anti-Zionist" is not a serious foreign policy.

WATCH: Angry liberal flips out and starts trying to shove me at the DC anti-@elonmusk rally after I reminded everyone that Americans voted for DOGE.

These people are totally deranged! Deranged liberal women ATTACKED me for reminding them that Elon does in fact have the authority to audit government agencies—and that this is exactly what Americans voted for!

Gross, unhinged behavior!

Elon's right. Federal bureaucrats are undoubtedly working hard to sabotage this administration.

Fortunately, Trump's team learned many of their strategies during the first term.

Let's take a look at the deep state's playbook.

Withholding information

Bureaucrats will regularly provide Trump officials with as little information as possible, causing them to waste valuable time looking elsewhere for the answers to their questions.

Keep in mind, the civil service is supposed to be politically neutral.

Vittoria Elliott is the journalist responsible for doxing the young men involved with DOGE.

In 2023, there were 503 air traffic control lapses categorized as “significant” – up 65% (!) from last year.

Something has clearly gone wrong. But what?

Allow me to explain.

Previously, the FAA’s CTI program worked with 36 colleges to educate future air traffic controllers. These colleges offered 2 & 4 year degrees requiring courses in air traffic control and aviation administration. It also employed a rigorous skills test.

Incredible – Curtis Yarvin admits he was wrong about Trump, says he owes @realchrisrufo an apology (and a bottle of scotch).
@realchrisrufo Why was Yarvin wrong? According to him, he mistakenly expected Trump 47 to be a lot like Trump 45.

Trump issued a temporary freeze on federal grant payments today.

This is a necessary move, as many of these of these grants are used to fund ridiculous left-wing projects – many not even in America!

Let's take a look at some of them.

🧵🧵🧵 In 2021, the Biden administration gave $540,000 to "Transgender Equity Consulting, Inc."

This firm is comprised of "six black and Latinx transgender and nonbinary individuals" – one whom is apparently the "first BBW trans porn star."

Alright then.

After Trump's decisive victory, Democrats are trying to figure out what the hell went wrong.

This likely won't come as a surprise, but their explanations and suggestions are hilariously ridiculous.

Let's take a look at some of the best ones.

🧵🧵🧵 Kamala lost not because of her politics, but because she wasn't a white man

Pew Research Center's review of validated voters reveals that Trump won 55% of whites in 2020.

According to the two largest accredited exit polls (AP/NORC and Edison), Trump won 56% and 57% of whites respectively this election.

These figures are of course within the margin of error, but there's no reason (yet) to believe he's losing white voters.

With regard to the college whites, it's true that Trump won fewer of them in 2016 than Romney in 2012. But Trump has been making slow progress in that regard – he's gained a few points each election cycle among this cohort (2016 38%, 2020 42%, 2024 45-46%).
More info on these exit polls. I'm no expert, but I think the Edison one only interviewed voters in 10 states (NBC uses Edison, and NBC claims it only did 10 states), whereas the one Fox News used (AP/NORC) included all 50 states -- and it had nearly a 5x larger sample size.

How is Trump polling in battleground states now compared to when he won in 2016?

Let's take a look!

🧵🧵🧵 ARIZONA

On this day in 2016, Trump was up by 0.7 points.

Today he is up by 1.4 points.

Here's a thought experiment. Trump comes out against Israel, begins parroting all of the weepy pro-Palestine talking points you see on here – who votes for him? Who donates to him? Virtually no one, because there's no electorate for this right of center in America.

I'm sure Trump also has a generally positive impression of conservative Jews and Israel, so it isn't some cynical move on his part. But the idea that he's "owned" by a foreign government is ridiculous. It's just Russiagate for 95 IQ internet anti-Semites.

Incredible stuff from the New York Times Yeah real shame the Constitution is an obstacle to the whole “import trillions of third worlders to vote for more left-wing tyranny” thing. Better scrap it.

Will the Democrats replace Joe Biden? After last night, it’s obvious that many would certainly like to.

But here’s why that is unlikely to happen.

🧵🧵🧵 First off, Biden won 99% of the pledged delegates to the convention, where they are obligated to support him – unless he willingly steps down.

The DNC also still appears to be moving forward with its plan to nominate Biden early (sometime before Aug. 7) via a virtual roll call.
