Just doing my thing. I encourage you to do the same

Yes, I think blanket racism is a mental illness and is indicative of a low IQ.

However…

I feel like “racism” in 2026 gets mischaracterized. It’s really fatigue, exhaustion, and pattern recognition.

If a white person looks at crime statistics, videos that *black folks* are putting out talking about how much they hate white folks and want segregation back, and videos of white folks getting attacked for no reason other than just to do so, they’re going to start feeling a certain way.

Is this real life? No. I just finished hanging out with some of my new neighbors and we were all cool with each other. However, in the bubble that is social media, it’s hard to ignore.

Not all white folks are “racist.” Not all black folks are savages. Discernment takes a good amount of intelligence and those are my people.

Armenians should not serve in Congress.

Neither should Somalis.

Or Guatemalans.

Or — wait for it— Israelis.

If you are a citizen of a foreign country, you shouldn’t serve in ours.

We need to pass my bill to stop the invasion of dual citizens in Congress.

NOW.

[Kevin Bass @kevinnbass]

The Republicans are in on it. The uniparty is stealing from the American people. They got rid of Elon because he threatened to fix the country.

[BowTiedRanger @BowTiedRanger]

Our country is $36 trillion in debt, we have 50M+ illegal aliens that have invaded our country, our economy sucks, homeownership is out of reach for anyone under 30, and we’re talking about selling citizenship and public land to pay for bullshit.

But at least we bombed Iran 🙄

After we win, we will face temptation - to replace the liberal regulatory state with a “conservative” one, to replace the left-wing nanny state with a right-wing nanny state. Don’t fall for it. The right answer is to SHUT IT DOWN.

Just want to reiterate that this platform really is meant to support all viewpoints within the bounds of the laws of countries, even those of people with whom I vehemently disagree and personally dislike.

If that doesn’t seem to be happening, please yell at me (ideally on 𝕏).

I’m honored by the influx of endorsement requests. But let’s be honest, most endorsements are meaningless, so here’s what we’re doing: any candidate whom I endorse in this cycle will make a *hard commitment* to the following principles.

1.    The people we elect to run government should actually run the government.
a.    Favor 75% headcount reduction of federal & state bureaucrats. 
b.    If it’s state action in disguise, the Constitution still applies: The U.S. government cannot use private companies to do through the back door what government could not get done through the front door under the law.
c.    Shut down irreparable government agencies.

2.    The first & only moral duty of U.S. leaders is to U.S. citizens. 
a.    Homeland defense should be the top priority of all national defense spending.
b.    End foreign aid to any country whose national debt per citizen is less than ours & defund international institutions hostile to U.S. sovereignty.
c.    Require disclosure of dual citizenship for all public officials to expose any conflicts of interest.

3.    Public service is about serving the public, not oneself. 
a.    End trading of individual stocks by members of Congress and bureaucrats.
b.    10-year ban on lobbying for politicians and bureaucrats. Ban corporate board memberships for entities they regulated. 
c.    8-year term limits for elected officials and bureaucrats. 

4.    The absence of national pride is an existential threat to our nation’s future — we must fill that void.
a.    Every high school senior should be able to pass the same civics test that every immigrant must pass to become a voting citizen in this country.
b.    Veterans’ benefits and military compensation should be tax-free.
c.    Shut down the Department of Education & put that money back into parents’ pockets to empower educational choice.

Yes, I saw President Trump’s Truth Social post. It’s an unfortunate move by his campaign advisors, I don’t think friendly fire is helpful. Donald Trump was the greatest President of the 21st century, and I’m not going to criticize him in response to this late attack.

I’ve met tens of thousands of Iowans across 390+ events here, and they are deeply worried - and so am I - that this “system” won’t allow Donald J. Trump anywhere near the White House again. It seems they will stop at *nothing* to keep him away from power.

I’m worried for Trump. I’m worried for our country. I’ve stood up against the persecutions against Trump, and I’ve defended him at every step. I showed up at the Miami courthouse in solidarity following his first federal indictment. I filed a FOIA demand to the Biden DOJ. I submitted an amicus brief this week with the U.S. Supreme Court calling on them to overturn Colorado’s ruling. I pledged to remove myself from Maine’s & Colorado’s primary ballots if they remove Trump, calling on DeSantis and Haley to do the same.

But we have to open our eyes. Last time it was a man-made pandemic & Big Tech election interference. Now, the same billionaires funding the lawsuits against Trump are the ones trying to prop up Nikki Haley. The same MSM blasting Trump is lavishing praise on Nikki. They want to narrow this to a two-horse race between Trump & Haley, eliminate Trump (one way or other), & trot their puppet into the White House.

We can’t fall for that trap. 1 year from now, we won’t look back and say we were shocked that it happened. We’ll kick ourselves for not stopping it.

Our movement must live on. America-First didn’t start in 2016. It started in 1776. We owe it to our Founding Fathers to do the right thing for our country. I want to save Trump & to save this country. Let’s do it together. You won’t hear any friendly fire from me.

Shut down the FBI. And yes, this is much more practical than it sounds:

The FBI has a ~35,842 person staff. 56% of the bureau that are professional bureaucrats should be fired immediately. Just 44% of FBI employees are special agents & intelligence analysts—these 15,770 specialists should be reassigned to serve under the narrow focus of other federal law enforcement agencies doing the same specialist work.

Reassignments:

US Marshals Service (821 specialists/analysts transferred)
- Crimes against children

Department of Defense
- Counter-intelligence > Defense Intelligence Agency (4,159 specialists/analysts transferred)

Department of Homeland Security (4,663 specialists/analysts transferred)
- National Security
- Terrorism

US Secret Service (856 specialists/analysts transferred)
- Political corruption

Department of Justice, within a specialized sub-agency rather than a sprawling investigative bureaucracy (2,555 specialists/analysts transferred)
- Civil rights
- Organized crime
- Violent crime
- Science & Technology, including crime laboratory analysis across agencies

Department of the Treasury
- White collar crime > Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (856 specialists/analysts transferred)

Illegal immigration needs to stop, but I’m super in favor of greatly expanding and simplifying legal immigration.

Anyone who proves themself to be hard-working, talented and honest should be allowed to become an American. Period.

As President, I will repeal Lyndon Johnson’s Executive Order 11246 which mandates race-based quotas. Every Republican since Johnson had the opportunity to do it. I’ll do it on Day 1 without apology. We will also reduce federal employees by 75%, shut down redundant agencies, & rescind >50% of federal regulations which fail to meet the West Virginia v. EPA standard. This is the single most powerful lever to unleash the U.S. economy. All that’s required is a U.S. President with sufficient spine & knowledge to act. @SharylAttkisson

Yesterday a man by the name of Owen Shroyer was sentenced to prison for *speech*, not violence, on Jan 6 – for marching around the Capitol, using a bull horn, & shouting things like “1776!” No violence. Didn’t enter the Capitol. That’s it. I don’t know the guy & I have no idea if he’s “a good person” or not, but that's not what our justice system is supposed to determine. There is no greater threat to the First Amendment than the use of police power to silence political dissent. On Day 1, I will pardon all non-violent Jan 6 protesters & political prisoners. The DOJ used “evidence“ provided by the FBI to pursue this man and countless others. Today at 11AM in Washington, D.C., I will lay out a detailed plan for shutting down the FBI & other federal agencies. Will livestream on @X.

[MrBeast @MrBeast]

@iamflux1 Nope. I’ve never once even thought about that. I’d factually have millions of more $ if I didn’t fund Beast Philanthropy… but idc, I do it because I love it ❤️

Congress sold $290 million in stock last year alone and did better than the market average.

Ban Congress from selling stock while in office. It's pretty simple: If you want to trade stock, find another line of work.
