But that is true of many, if not most, people's opportunities for advocacy that cause them to become well known. John Walsh, Mamie Till, and Candy Lightner all come to mind as people who became famous when, because of a tragedy that happened to them, they became an outspoken advocate for change.

[Secretary Kennedy @SecKennedy]

The Washington Post editorial board accuses me of a conflict of interest that might bias me against Big Pharma, whose interests they apparently seek to protect. The alleged conflict comes from money I supposedly made from a settlement in a lawsuit against Merck for injuries caused by its Gardasil vaccine. The problem is that I never received a penny from the Merck Gardasil settlement, and neither has my son nor anyone else in my family.

Before taking office, I relinquished any interest in potential Gardasil fees back to the Wisner Baum law firm, which publicly confirmed this during my confirmation process. Yet @SenWarren, @Reuters, and @washingtonpost editorial board — in their ardor to protect Big Pharma — continue to push a false narrative that makes Big Pharma the victim and me the mendacious villain. They should correct the record — and spend more time examining the real conflicts that have long disabled the regulatory function of my Department, all of which I am now deconstructing.

I’m firing corrupt regulators and dismissing the panels formerly populated by heavily conflicted “experts.” We are dismantling the mechanisms of corporate capture that made this agency the sock puppet for the industry it was supposed to regulate. Why are Reuters, Warren, and WaPo inventing lies to besmirch the first @HHSgov Secretary in modern history to stand up to industry?

To @CNN, you have a short memory. In 2024 you credibly covered that China hacked Great Britain’s voter files. Those files are public like the US. Why was it news then but now disinformation when Trump reveals it happened to Americans? https://t.co/7DBIjgn6fN

Refusing to air a Presidential speech to the nation about election fraud seems like a horrible way to convince people you weren't in on the election fraud.

[Rick Scott @SenRickScott]

Here’s why people in both parties don’t want to use or lose the filibuster: control.

Hiding behind the 60 vote threshold and the cloture rule makes it easier to control the chamber, control debate, and control the schedule. That way there are no surprises and everyone gets to leave town after lunch on Thursday without fail.

Open debate, open amendments, and majority threshold make things less predictable. And that makes comfortable people uncomfortable.

If we want to secure our elections and pass the rest of the America First agenda, we’re going to need to shake some things up.

@KurtSchlichter 1. Ban pregnant foreign women from entering the United States.

2. If a foreign woman does give birth here, the baby (a U.S. citizen) should remain here, safe and sound. Kick Mom out and put the baby up for adoption.

These two steps will immediately stop birth tourism.

I actually live in Florida and I am an actual woman, so I can unequivocally inform you that all forms of actual "health care" are available, but abortions are not "reproductive healthcare." I confidently conceal carry without fear of legal repercussion, and men who identify as women are still men.

History Lesson: Presidents Have Always Played Hardball with Congress When Necessary.

A large majority of Americans support the SAVE Act.

President Trump is refusing to sign a bipartisan housing bill until the Senate acts on the SAVE Act is far from unprecedented.

Throughout American history, presidents have used every lawful ounce of leverage they had to pressure Congress into acting.

▪️Andrew Jackson used the veto aggressively, turning it into a political weapon instead of a constitutional formality.

▪️Harry S. Truman called Congress into a special session and publicly challenged lawmakers to act, then campaigned against the “Do-Nothing Congress.”

▪️Theodore Roosevelt bypassed Congress by taking his case directly to the American people, creating political pressure lawmakers couldn’t ignore.

▪️Ronald Reagan regularly addressed the nation before key votes and urged Americans to call their representatives, flooding Capitol Hill with constituent pressure.

If a majority of Americans truly support the SAVE Act, this doesn’t have to end with one veto threat.

@POTUS could also:

▪️Call a prime-time address explaining why he believes the legislation is necessary.
▪️Hold rallies in states represented by senators blocking the bill.
▪️Invite key senators to the White House and negotiate publicly.
▪️Call Congress into a special session to force debate.
▪️Make passage of the bill a central issue in the midterm elections.

The Constitution gives Congress the power to pass laws. But history shows that presidents have never been expected to sit quietly while Congress refuses to act.

Leadership often means using every lawful tool available to persuade the legislative branch

[The Rational Animal 🤔 @theobjectivist]

There is no fight here. There is only a reversal of the truth, and a dishonest one.

You speak of "wealth and power" as though they were one thing. They are opposites. The billionaire's wealth is the record of value he created and others freely paid for. It buys him goods. It buys him nothing from you that you do not choose to give. He cannot tax you, jail you, conscript you, or command you. His only weapon is an offer you are free to refuse.

Power, real power, is force. The power to seize what a man earns, to dictate what he may build, to punish him if he declines. And that power does not sit in any fortune. It sits in exactly one place: the government office you, and those like you,occupy.

So look at what you have done. The man who can only persuade you is branded the tyrant. The man who can compel you, who writes the laws and aims the guns, calls himself your protector.

You are not standing up to power. You are power, pointing at the producer to keep all eyes off your own hands.

[The White House @WhiteHouse]

1. ALL VOTERS MUST SHOW PHOTO I.D. (IDENTIFICATION!).

2. ALL VOTERS MUST SHOW PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP.

3. NO MAIL-IN BALLOTS (EXCEPT FOR ILLNESS, DISABILITY, MILITARY, OR TRAVEL!).

4. NO MEN IN WOMEN’S SPORTS.

5. NO TRANSGENDER MUTILIZATION SURGERY ON OUR CHILDREN.

🚨🧵 BREAKING - The "conservative" protest against AI data centers has an anti-ICE NGO organizer, a DSA member, Facebook money.

Other than that, totally grassroots.

Axios ran an "exclusive" Wednesday about a "conservative group" called Humans First planning a nationwide day of protest against AI data centers on July 18. Amy Kremer is chairing it and invoking the Tea Party.

Axios didn't mention that Humans First was incubated by the Center for AI Safety, an organization funded with millions from Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz. Or that its original staff included a Sunrise Movement organizer who sat in at Pelosi's office with AOC and a DSA member who organized for Kamala Harris.

NBC News described CAIS as having founded Humans First "to be a sort of Trojan horse to make AI safety issues more palatable to a conservative political audience."

@ParkerThayer exposed the Action Network backend.

As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇

We don’t have 60 votes for the House-passed SAVE America Act

But we do have a simple majority

Given the bill’s widespread bipartisan popularity, we could pass it with a simple majority—by debating it until it passes

I explain how in this clip

[Mike Lee @BasedMikeLee]

There is literally *nothing* more important for the Senate to debate and ultimately pass right now than the SAVE America Act.

Everything else pales in comparison.

Share if you agree.

THUNE ON DEFUNDING THE TALIBAN: “I HAVE NOT SEEN IT.”

LindellTV’s @Alisonintheknow asked @LeaderJohnThune why the Senate has yet to act on @RepTimBurchett's bill to stop U.S. taxpayer dollars from reaching the Taliban - despite the House passing it nearly a year ago.

Meanwhile, every week of delay means another estimated $40 million flows into Afghanistan.

When asked when the Senate would finally vote on the bill, Thune responded:

“I don’t know when. We don’t have that currently on the schedule here... I have not seen it... that’s something that we'd consider putting on the floor at this point.”

Eleven months later, the bill still hasn’t received a Senate vote.

The House passed it. The Senate hasn’t acted.

How many more months - and how many more millions - will pass before this gets a vote?

Pass the bill. Stop the money flow. Now.
