Uniting the movement around the world to build a positive case for conservatism.

This does not need to be happening. Keep taxes low and regulations sensible, and people buy legal products.

Instead, the EU insists on puratanical anti-nicotine policies. This is the result...

Brussels is cursing Europe with a bigger tobacco black market than ever. Unforced error!

Today we celebrated the expansion of Wiwynn's advanced manufacturing facility in Socorro, Texas — helping bring nearly 1,000 new jobs to the community by the end of 2027. By investing in U.S.-produced server racks, we're helping to strengthen the domestic supply chain and boost U.S. manufacturing capacity.

Illinois is the final state to receive BEAD approval—and the before-and-after shows how @NTIAgov’s rigorous oversight delivered better results for taxpayers. 1/3

Putting the AI debate aside, there's an attempt here to force through the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA).

KOSA is a terrible piece of legislation. It mirrors the aggressive EU laws which the US rightly criticizes.

Don't let the AI preemption become a Trojan's horse for it.

Check out the small print at the bottom of this graphic. They acknowledge that Sweden is smokefree, and that it got there by helping smokers quit using other products like snus (snuff), e-cigs & nicotine pouches. Hopefully this signals a change in direction for EU tobacco policy!

1 in 2 smokers die prematurely, losing 14 years of life on average. 24% of people in the EU smoke.

This World No Tobacco Day, EU tobacco rules are helping to reduce smoking and prevent deaths. Read more: https://t.co/RHCQxRT90l

"Without those twenty-six words, the modern internet, and the unprecedented connectivity it provides, simply could not exist."

Not many people know the online world rests on Section 230, which is just twenty-six words long. It's now 30 years old! Long may it survive and thrive.

📢 TODAY in Congress: NetChoice Encourages Senate to Recognize 30 Years of Section 230 Protecting Americans from Frivolous Lawsuits & Censorship Online

WASHINGTON—Today, @SenateCommerce will hold a hearing on the role Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996 has played for the growth of the internet in America.

NetChoice encourages the committee to recognize how these 26 words that created the internet have helped U.S. companies of all sizes dominate in the digital space and helped user speech and information access boom.

“On its 30th anniversary, we hope the committee recognizes Section 230 as a critical legal firewall that prevents the weaponization of liability from crushing American innovation and silencing speech online. By ensuring that companies are not held liable for the speech of their users, this foundational law provides the certainty necessary for businesses of all sizes to host diverse viewpoints without the constant threat of predatory litigation,” said @abos255, NetChoice Vice President of Government Affairs.

“Without these protections, the internet would devolve into a heavily censored environment where only the largest corporations could afford the legal risks of hosting public discourse. We must preserve Section 230 to help protect the free enterprise and free expression that have made the American tech economy the global leader."

Hard to know where to start with this... Being anti data centers means being anti progress. New data centers will NOT have the impact on electric bills Sanders claims, but that's besides the point. His fake concern about bills going up is just an excuse to resist tech investment!

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

In the next two years, AI data centers will not only cause electric bills to soar, but are expected to generate the same emissions as driving over 300 billion miles — or 1,600 round trips to the sun from Earth.

We need a moratorium on the construction of new AI data centers.

Good to see the @nytimes being techno-optimist for once! AI is having real-world positive effects on workflows and revenue across entire industries.

Good decision. If America doesn't sell AI chips, Huawei will (and it'll rake in billions in profits in the process).

Trump can stop that happening – and make Chinese tech reliant on US imports – at the flick of a switch.

BREAKING: $NVDA - US to allow $NVDA H200 chip exports to China

The U.S. Department of Commerce will soon permit exports of NVIDIA’s H200 GPUs to China. These chips are about 18 months behind the company’s most advanced models per sources cited by Semafor

The Cash ISA squeeze is a demographic cliff for building societies.

Treasury's plan starves mutuals of deposits (needed for 35% of first-time buyer mortgages) while failing to understand young savers need cash access, not equity risk.

Lose the Cash ISA fight, and mutuals lose the next 40 years to neo-banks.
