TV shows the polished speeches, but here’s what happens behind the scenes:
With our college son away at school, we brought our 4 daughters to sit behind the President. Minutes before the speech, our baby threw up on the venue bathroom floor.
I asked the nearest person for help—it was @MomsForAmerica President Kimberly Fletcher.
Without hesitation, she & State Director Teresa Thomas got on their knees to help scrub the floor.
Security moved our family from behind the podium, but we saw the truth: real movements aren't built on staged moments, they're built on humble leaders who roll up their sleeves when duty calls. 🇺🇸
Breaking: Gov. Greg Abbott has ordered all state agencies to pause funding for Flock cameras as scrutiny over the AI-powered surveillance devices has mounted. https://t.co/QBvQJHNRPV
🚨 JUST IN: Gov. Ron DeSantis just WENT OFF on Flock cameras and announced Florida needs to pass legislation reining it in
“What the HELL is going on with this?!”
“I don't want to have this become a surveillance state.”
“I see a police officer using this to track his ex-girlfriend?”
“I'm all about having law enforcement have tools to be able to hold criminals accountable.”
“I think that's important that we do that. And no one's been stronger on law enforcement than me.”
“I think this has happened very quickly. I think people are right to be concerned.”
“I wanted an AI bill of rights that could have addressed this and others, other issues.“
“It needs to be overhauled for SURE.”
“These cameras, the license plate readers, I think it's out of control.”
In 1788, Patrick Henry warned that government power always expands quietly under the guise of maintaining order.
Today, camera dragnets tracking millions of innocent drivers on Texas roads are proving him right.
The Founders saw this coming centuries ago.
Untracked movement isn't a loophole. It's freedom.
@realmitchlittle Usa v. JONES 2012, concurring opinion joined by three other justices, Justice Samuel Alito highlighted how technological advances fundamentally changed the scope of law enforcement

Look who’s joining the DeFlock team! 👀
President Trump just confirmed at the White House that his administration is actively studying the national backlash against Flock Safety cameras. Seeing this issue reach the highest level is proof that the noise we’ve been making is working.
Federal review is a huge step, but executive opinions can't replace solid Texas law. We need binding statutory protections for the Fourth Amendment on Texas roads.
To everyone who has shown up at city council meetings across our great state—thank you. The momentum is officially on our side.
Our local and state leaders have an incredible opportunity right now to lead the nation in protecting constitutional rights. We look forward to working alongside public officials across Texas to safeguard driver privacy and ensure our civil liberties remain strong!

Patrick Henry warned us about trading liberty for the illusion of safety. The pressure is working, but we need to make noise. Leave a public comment for this week's DOGE hearing here: https://t.co/V3SSAri10h. Don't just scroll, make them hear you. (4/4)
Flock Safety just announced a "sweeping privacy overhaul." It's a Trojan horse. Here are 3 red flags hidden in the fine print of CEO Garrett Langley's new policy. 🧵👇 (1/4)
🚩 3: Accuracy. Flock claims <9 errors per million. But real-world audits (Roseville, CA) found a 71% false positive rate. They conveniently ignore every innocent driver pulled over and released without a formal complaint. (3/4)
Public safety and individual liberty must coexist. With momentum building from local communities all the way to Washington, self policing by tech companies is simply not enough. Read the full story

Flock cameras don’t want you to know this, but open-ended dragnet searches are back.
In 1761, James Otis fought blank-check British searches, inspiring the Founders to write the 4th Amendment to ban them forever.
Why are police allowed to run those exact same warrant-free searches on drivers today?
Waller County set the blueprint to end warrantless surveillance in Texas. Now all 254 counties need to join.
2 core priorities:
End govt subsidies funding mass tracking tech.
Why are ALPRs exempt from the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act?
