Apparently the Treasury Department social media team needs a crash course in Economics 101.
U.S. Treasuries are having their best year since 2020, and the investors who had confidence and faith in President Trump’s economic policies have been richly rewarded. Never bet against @POTUS or America! 🇺🇸

Greer says there’s a “strategy” behind the tariffs. Maybe — but it’s a bad one: constant pivots, unclear objectives, no unified end goal and a tariff burden that’s landing on consumers. If the White House won’t level with voters about the affordability crisis, next November is

Dismissing the affordability crisis as a "hoax" is not going to work.

On the eve of First Choice arguments, @MarcWheat’s September piece is essential. Legally requiring nonprofits to disclose their donors WILL lead to political targeting. Protecting free association means protecting free association and stopping this political power grab.
Freedom of association is central to the American tradition. In cases like First Choice Women's Resource Centers v. Platkin, the courts must ensure that governments are not storing up information that can be used to harass Americans.

Affordability is a huge problem. Squeezing Americans on tariffs, governing by EO and sidelining Congress when they actually could help fix the problems won’t cut it. The midterms are coming quick.

👀 Scoop from @PunchbowlNews: GAIN AI Act is still alive. @RepBrianMast has a new version that will treat AI chip export controls like arms sales and give Congress a review period for sales to China and other countries of concern. Makes sense. AI is the future of warfare.

Nvidia's H200 chip sale to CCP (under review by POTUS) will be used to create AI targeting systems & drone swarms for our adversaries. Congress should pass @RepBrianMast's GAIN AI Act, an essential national security check that treats these chips like the military assets they

Great to be with the @FREOPP team - they hosted a great conference!
Freedom Conservatism is invigorating a revival of values-based, limited government conservatism in the face of socialism and so-called "national conservatism." @Avik, @TimChapman, @danrothschild, @sladesr will discuss how FreeCons can win 2025 & beyond. https://t.co/jZzTtE6Rrf

This is an important insight. Congress needs to be a White House partner in achieving legislative wins. To the extent that they are perceived as an annoyance or irrelevant you further break down the separation of powers and disincentive talented Americans from running for
Fascinating grievance from an unnamed House Republican to @JakeSherman: "This entire White House team has treated ALL members like garbage. ALL. ... They don’t even allow little wins like announcing small grants or even responding from agencies."

Tucker is an arsonist. His objective is to burn down the entire conservative movement. And he’s very good at it. He has never had any interest in what is best for Heritage.
Missed this: After all that, Tucker Carlson harshly criticized Kevin Roberts in a Nov 19 appearance on the 1819 podcast. Here’s a snippet of his exchange with 1819 News CEO Bryan Dawson, where Carlson savages Roberts, a man he says he “knew and really liked” (past tense) but

"We stand with Israel because we believe in right over wrong, in good over evil, and in liberty over tyranny." AAF Founder @Mike_Pence reminds us of the moral and strategic reality. A secure Middle East begins with eliminating terror, not retreating from it.

President Trump’s playbook on affordability heading in to the holidays looks way too much like President Biden’s. Blaming the previous administration while ignoring rising costs won’t cut it. Gotta do better.

An outstanding thread. Give it a read.
The attacks on @McCormickProf are directly related to the distance a person stands from any real power to impact secular institutions, lack of earned scholarly credibility, & degree of cozy insulation within & career dependence on culturally impotent RW & evangelical bubbles.
