Secretary Rubio is right. The EU not only wants to censor Americans, it’s paying itself for the privilege. Disgraceful. Censorship and the targeting of American companies by foreign governments needs to stop now.
The European Commission’s $140 million fine isn’t just an attack on @X, it’s an attack on all American tech platforms and the American people by foreign governments. The days of censoring Americans online are over.

This appointment is a slap in the face of Virginia’s Christian citizens. Fellow Virginia Catholics, beware. Make sure the person in the pew next to you isn’t wearing a wire.

Unbelievable. This guy was in charge of the Richmond FBI when it targeted Virginia Catholics for treatment like terrorists. They pressured a priest to break the seal of the confessional. They sent spies into local parishes. And now he’s getting rewarded with a promotion.
When the Biden DOJ spied on Catholics, This guy’s team led the charge. Now he’s getting promoted by a Democrat governor.

Rumors swirling that the EU commission will fine X hundreds of millions of dollars for not engaging in censorship. The EU should be supporting free speech not attacking American companies over garbage.

By imposing onerous conditions and ideological litmus tests on law schools seeking accreditation, the ABA can discourage new entrants into the field of legal education and increase the costs of that education, which then limits the supply of practicing lawyers. This can make

Today, @FTC staff sent a letter to the Texas Supreme Court endorsing a proposed rule that would remove the ABA’s power to dictate who can practice law in the state of Texas. This is long overdue. The ABA is a monopolist masquerading as a public servant. https://t.co/L1dH15wCNh

In most states, you can’t practice law unless you attended a law school accredited by the American Bar Association. This gives the ABA tremendous power to coerce existing law schools and aspiring lawyers to pay ideological tribute to the elitist, self-serving ideas espoused by

This report is exactly why the @FTC is investigating these practices. Great work @RobertKennedyJr.
Today, the @HHSGov released its peer-reviewed report discrediting "gender-affirming care" - "HHS invited the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Endocrine Society to contribute their evidence to this report. Both organizations declined to participate."

I know Melissa is going to do an outstanding job in Utah. I will be rooting for her. One last thing: If you’re a criminal in Utah, she’s coming for you.

I am very sad to lose Melissa at the FTC. She is an excellent antitrust and consumer protection lawyer and one of the most productive Commissioners in recent memory. She wrote hundreds of pages of thoughtful concurrences and dissents during our time together. They are worth

I have worked with @MHolyoakFTC for almost four years at the FTC and as state solicitors general. She is one of the finest lawyers I know. She is whip-smart, principled, and thoughtful. She is a true patriot.

Did you get that text saying you’ve missed jury duty and have to pay or will be arrested? It’s a scam. FTC Commissioner @MHolyoakFTC gives advice on what to do if you get texts or calls like these. Watch and share the video:

.🚨 Every American has the right to live in peace at home, free from illegal harassment and intimidation. When this basic aspect of the social contract is violated, law enforcement must intervene. But what is happening to my friends in this matter is shocking. 🧵

The Biden-Harris administration used lawfare to try to destroy President Trump and the Republican Party and imprison innocent conservatives and right-wingers. If President Trump didn’t win, this would have been swept under the rug. We’re lucky @ChuckGrassley exposed this
@ChuckGrassley Let me explain in a different way: @America1stLegal DID NOT EXIST ON JANUARY 6, 2021. The whole J6 investigation was bullshit. But there was ZERO reason for them to get our payroll or bank records. Zero. But here's the subpoena. Jack Smith was on a political witch hunt.

Great day for America. Eddie should have been a judge five years ago, but he was the victim of Doug Jones’s vindictive obstruction. The joke was on the Democrats. Eddie spent four years in court protecting Alabama from the Biden Administration. And he wrote one of the most
