Had an amazing two days meeting with representatives from all over the world.
I discussed foreign NGO situations with representatives from:
🔹Estonia
🔹Romania
🔹France
🔹Germany
🔹Moldova
🔹Croatia
🔹Georgia
... and many more countries.
The takeaway: the NGO situation is identical all over the world. Everyone felt their people aren't truly in control of the country, and NGOs are imposing policies on them which nobody voted for.
@DataInterpretr and I are following up with every single representative to make sure we get names of specific NGOs so we can make sure that zero federal dollars are going to them.
Thanks @RepLuna for the invite!
Today I’m introducing the National Constitutional Carry Act in the U.S. Senate.
Americans have the right to keep and bear arms without asking for permission from hostile politicians or getting jailed for crossing the wrong state line.
Stay strapped.

BOOM 💥
Ilhan Omar has been referred to the ethics committee chaired by Michael Guest
Omar's husband Tim Mynett listed (2) Co's that went from a few thousand dollars to ($30M) in one year
She has to face denaturalization as part of her punishment after she's been convicted
🚨 BREAKING: The US House has just OVERWHELMING voted to officially declare Iran as the largest state sponsor of terrorism, 372-53
Of COURSE 53 Democrats voted NO
What the hell was the argument AGAINST it?
The Democrat Party is the party of terrorism.
After the full House voted to keep covering up Ethics Committee records of Members of Congress who engaged in sexual harassment records, the Oversight Committee passed our motion to subpoena the taxpayer-funded settlement SLUSH FUND used to silence victims.
Every Member of Congress who used your money to silence victims they harassed will be exposed, and we look forward to reviewing the records from the Office of Congressional Workplace Rights. We will make sure YOU, the people, know their names.
If the establishment fought as hard for the SAVE America Act as they do for a weak incumbent who spent $100 million only to be rejected by nearly 60% of GOP voters, it would already be law.
It's sad incumbent protection is more important than advancing President Trump's agenda.
Perhaps we need to file a class action lawsuit. Our taxpayer dollars being spent to cover up illegal activities without our knowledge! @HarmeetKDhillon
🔥THE BANKS ARE THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE🔥
The banks are holding the CLARITY Act hostage because Americans might, and I need you to sit down for this...
...earn more than 0.03% on their cash.
Let me walk you through the business model that has these people in absolute meltdown mode:
Step 1: You deposit $10,000 at your bank.
Step 2: They pay you $3 per year in interest. (Three. Dollars.)
Step 3: They lend your $10,000 to someone else at 8.9% and collect $890.
Step 4: They keep $887 of that spread as "the cost of financial intermediation."
Step 5: When stablecoins show up offering 4-5% yields, the banks sprint to Washington screaming about "FINANCIAL STABILITY" and "CONSUMER PROTECTION."
Because apparently the real threat to consumers is...
...earning market rates on their own fucking money.
The entire lobbying campaign is built on one exquisite lie: that paying savers anything close to actual yield will somehow collapse the banking system.
Which is technically true! Just not in the way they mean it.
What they mean is: "Our profit margins require your financial ignorance."
The banks have spent 15 years paying grandma 0.03% on her savings while inflation ran 20-40%.
They've extracted every basis point of spread they could skim.
And now that crypto rails are offering actual yield, they've decided that competition itself is the crisis.
The "financial stability" argument is particularly deranged.
What they're saying is: "If people can move money to better products, they will, and our funding model - which depends on inertia, ignorance, and switching costs - will break."
YES. THAT'S CALLED A MARKET. THAT'S THE THING YOU CLAIM TO BELIEVE IN.
They're not even pretending anymore. The lobbying isn't subtle in the slighest. It's not dressed up in technocratic language about "systemic risk channels" or "liquidity transformation mismatches."
It's just: "Please ban the thing that competes with us."
And it's working! The bill is stalled. The Senate is negotiating.
Because when you have enough lawyers and enough time, you can turn an innovation that threatens your profit margins into a "stability concern" that requires regulatory capture.
The funniest part? They'll win this round, extract their concessions, water down the yield provisions, and then spend the next decade complaining about "overregulation" and "government interference in markets."
While literally having written the regulations themselves.
To block markets. From functioning.
So here we are, the same institutions that needed $700 billion in bailouts, that caused the 2008 crisis, that got caught in Libor rigging, that were fined for money laundering and fraud and rate manipulation, these paragons of stability and consumer protection, are now explaining to Congress why Americans earning 5% on stablecoins is the real systemic threat.
And Congress is listening.
Because the one thing more powerful than innovation is incumbents who really, really like their rent.
.@POTUS, this is Mayorkas 2.0.
I was the Dem lead on the Laken Riley bill.
I want a secure border.
You’re accomplishing that.
Double down on deporting criminal migrants.
It’s what any reasonable citizen wants and voted for.
Is the Senate going to approve another dog parade for St. Patrick’s Day, or are they going to actually do their jobs and bring the SAVE America Act to the floor for real debate?
