BREAKING: New York passed a bill to stop us from telling teachers they can OPT OUT of their government unions.
They're trampling on the First Amendment.
We must stop these control freaks in the courts.
I'm too spent to offer much of an update, but she's home. She's where she needs to be. There was one final twist, which I will tell you about later. It might be meaningful down the road and it is mingling my relief with a sense of disquiet. But she's home. Thank God.
At last month’s White House Small Business Summit, Sherrill Manufacturing shared a serious problem: foreign-made goods were being sold to federal agencies under false “Made in America” claims.
Honest small businesses like Sherrill - the only U.S. manufacturer of stainless steel flatware - were being undercut, while agencies unwittingly shelled out millions for foreign products.
At the direction of @POTUS, SBA worked alongside @USGSA to investigate. In less than a month, we successfully removed nearly two dozen foreign products that were cheating federal agencies and taxpayers alike. We have turned the marketplace back over to American businesses and the incredible workers who power them.
This Administration firmly believes that every taxpayer dollar spent by the federal government should support American businesses, workers, and goods. And we will not tolerate fraudsters, whether they are stealing from federal programs or hijacking Made in America labels.

Hey @AlexanderSoros: Maybe give @elonmusk a lesson on how to create generational political influence on the taxpayer’s dime.
Teach him how to convert tax-deductible charitable donations into political expenditures, while the donors take the deduction.
You’ve already mastered it. The federal returns are public.
Today we filed a motion asking the First Circuit to expedite our appeal of the district court's order in the AAP lawsuit that left ACIP—the nation's vaccine advisory committee—without a quorum. AAP opposes our motion.
I've been consistent from day one: I do not want to take vaccines away from anyone. Our policy changes preserved access and coverage.
But the court's order has left ACIP unable to carry out its core responsibilities. As a result, the committee cannot issue new recommendations, review newly approved vaccines, or complete important work ahead of the fall flu season.
A functioning ACIP is essential to ensuring that vaccine recommendations remain grounded in evidence and available to the families and providers who rely on them.
Families, physicians, insurers, and public health programs deserve certainty—not paralysis.
That's why we're asking for expedited review. Our appeal seeks to restore a functioning ACIP so the vaccine recommendation process can continue, and families, physicians, and public health programs have the guidance they need.
Je vais partir du principe que tu es de bonne foi, parce que ton raisonnement est intuitif et que 90% des gens le partagent. Mais il repose sur trois erreurs factuelles, et ça vaut le coup de les regarder calmement.
Erreur 1 : la fortune d'Elon n'est pas un tas d'argent. C'est de la propriété d'usines, de fusées et de satellites. "Prendre la moitié de sa tune", concrètement, ça veut dire forcer la vente de la moitié de SpaceX et Tesla. L'argent ne sort pas d'un coffre, il sort des entreprises elles-mêmes, qui passent sous contrôle de fonds étrangers ou d'États. Tu ne redistribues pas du cash, tu démantèles un outil de production. C'est la différence entre récolter des pommes et découper le pommier.
Erreur 2 : "ça résout énormément de problèmes dans le monde". Cette expérience a déjà été tentée, en vrai. En 2021, le directeur du Programme Alimentaire Mondial de l'ONU a affirmé que 6 milliards de Musk pouvaient "résoudre la faim dans le monde". Réponse d'Elon : décrivez-moi exactement comment, comptabilité publique à l'appui, et je vends mes actions Tesla immédiatement. Le PAM a publié son plan. Verdict : ce n'était pas "résoudre la faim", c'était nourrir 42 millions de personnes pendant un an. Un an. Puis il faut re-payer, pour toujours. Le PAM avait d'ailleurs levé 8,4 milliards l'année précédente, et la faim était toujours là. Les ONG traitent les symptômes en boucle, jamais les causes, parce que leur financement dépend de l'existence du problème.
Erreur 3, la plus importante : tu cherches ce qui sort vraiment les gens de la pauvreté. Bonne nouvelle, on a la réponse, et elle est massive. En 1990, 36% de l'humanité vivait dans l'extrême pauvreté. Aujourd'hui, moins de 9%. Plus d'un milliard de personnes sorties de la misère en 30 ans. Par quoi ? Pas par la charité ni par l'aide internationale (plus de 1 000 milliards versés à l'Afrique en 60 ans pour un résultat à peu près nul). Par l'ouverture des marchés, l'industrialisation, le commerce. La Chine seule a sorti 800 millions de personnes de la pauvreté en abandonnant le collectivisme, pas en taxant ses entrepreneurs.
Donc fais le calcul complet. Option A : tu confisques 500 milliards, tu finances quelques années de programmes, l'argent est consommé, et tu as détruit la machine qui produisait les fusées, les voitures électriques et l'internet des zones rurales. Option B : tu laisses le meilleur allocateur de capital de sa génération réinvestir 100% de sa fortune dans des industries qui baissent les coûts pour tout le monde et emploient des centaines de milliers de personnes. L'option A soulage ta morale pendant 18 mois. L'option B sort des populations entières de la pauvreté pour toujours.
La pauvreté ne se redistribue pas. Elle se résout par la création. C'est contre-intuitif, c'est frustrant, mais c'est ce que disent 200 ans de données.
It is criminal that our government enabled a bat virus to infect and spread between humans. Indeed, it is hard to imagine a bigger betrayal of our species.
It is equally troubling that the mad scientists who did this then gaslit all the people of the world about it, including those who CORRECTLY interpreted the evidence.
Then, of course, the very same monsters amped up fear of the Covid frankenvirus and steered the panicked public away from safe medicines, and toward an obviously dangerous gene-therapy which they falsely called a vaccine in order to lure us into acceptance.
These are among the greatest crimes EVER committed against humanity. We now have persuasive evidence of everything I have said above.
If we don't correct the record and hold the perpetrators to account, this pattern will happen again, and again, and again--shortening our life expectancy, and degrading our quality of life each time that it does.
This is our Nuremberg moment. We can not simply move on from this ghastly chapter of history. We must finish it.

Hello Senator....
This November it will be 50 years since you were first elected to Congress, so we want to be the first to say .
"Happy 50th Anniversary of drawing a taxpayer funded salary."
That is quite an achievement.
In fact - you are 2nd longest-still serving member in Congress.
It has been a long time since you held a private sector job.
AND yes 50 years ago - in 1976 (it was America's Bicentennial that year) - people still punched clocks back then. The world has changed a lot.
During your 50 years in Congress - you watched as the creators and inventors and producers changed the world, creating trillions in new wealth, millions of new jobs and dramatically raising living standards for everyone rich and poor alike.
And for 50 years you have voted to raise taxes and regulate and oversee every move of the private sector.
You have never created or invented or produced. Just taxed and regulated and outraged.
But thank you for using the platform the "TRILLIONAIRE class" has provided to the entire world for free to tell us all how disgusted you are.
We would never know otherwise.
NEW: @RepBrandonGill just SCORCHED the lowlife scum threatening the Metcalf family.
"Instead of getting sympathy from many people in your community, you have a bunch of hooligans, thugs and race-baiters calling you up and telling you that you should be next."
"This is so far beyond the pale, but this is the type of, of tribalism that unravels civilization, that makes it very difficult, um, to live peacefully."
This is what happens when the legacy media and Democrat politicians create a permission structure to retaliate against victims by labeling them with vile rhetoric. May God protect the Metcalf family and bring them comfort.
While Fauci was receiving classified intelligence briefings on COVID-19's origins, he was simultaneously circulating the Proximal Origins paper to White House officials as evidence of a natural origin.
Newly released emails confirm he helped shape that paper behind the scenes while keeping his name off it. When asked in 2024 Congressional testimony whether he had briefed any intelligence agency on viral research, his answer was: "Not to my knowledge."

I see the Left-wing/Ukrainian bots got their talking points.
They went from “the labs don’t exist”, to “okay the labs exist but they were doing defensive research”.
“Defensive research” is a lie. In the process of defensive research, you create a bioweapon. I’ll explain.
Defensive zoonotic research, is when scientists intentionally make animal viruses transmissible in humans, so they can study the virus and proactively develop vaccines, just in case these animal viruses naturally mutate and jump to humans. This way, we have the vaccines already on hand if something were to happen.
In theory, it sounds like a good idea, but in the process of creating these vaccines, you must first modify a deadly zoonotic disease, and give it the ability to jump to humans. That’s a biological weapon. If it gets out of the lab, it can now infect the world, and in the case of C19, a man-made bat coronavirus, it did infect the world, and killed millions of people.
Why was it so contagious? Because scientists artificially gave it the ability to be transmissible in humans, thus the term “gain of function”. What is the function these zoonotic diseases are gaining? The ability to jump to, and kill, humans.
So when anyone says “it’s just defensive research”, they have no idea what they are talking about, and are either running cover or repeating talking points. Defensive research/gain of function, is just a way to circumvent the Geneva Convention and develop biological weapons under the guise of “defense”.
Russian MIL alleged that elements within the US, specifically the Democrat Party, in coordination with nefarious NGO’s and Big Pharma, have been using “defensive research” in an offensive capacity, to manufacture global biological crises, to impose global control.
She says what’s happening to her, as it happened. Not even knowing her opponent was actually a man. Imagine being sexually assaulted, reporting it immediately, then finding out it was a boy. Then imagine the school, prosecutors, and the state telling you it was consensual.
Revelations from the intel about Ukrainian biolabs declassified by Tulsi Gabbard. 🧵
Russian propaganda accused the U.S. of generating bioweapons in the basement of a lab on its border in Kharkiv. U.S. spy agencies internally acknowledged the virology lab had a basement.
People will pass this off as him being a sore loser. It’s much more evil. He is a pretender. A globalist dressed up as a GOP to ensure the globalist agenda is pursued on both sides. He isn’t allowed to support Paxton. This isn’t a personal choice; he can’t.
Quick question, 3 ballots in my home. All at the same address. 2 registered Republicans and 1 Unaffiliated voter. Guess which one is the Unaffiliated voter. @ArapahoeCounty why is the Unaffiliated ballot a different color? Are Republican ballots being flagged? Is it Unaffiliated ballots being flagged? What does a Democrats ballot look like? Honest questions here. @ArapahoeClerk
