Our real problem today is that we’ve forgotten or rejected the reason the Declaration of Independence was written: Americans fought a revolution to claim their God-given, natural rights.

🚨🧵 BREAKING: Former DHS Chief Miles Taylor's prank site collected death threats against the President and 4,000+ people's personal data. Then exposed them through all an open API. 🚨 Two days ago, I showed you how Miles Taylor's GTFO ICE site exposed 17,000+ people's data on an open API. That site halted sign-ups and is still "under construction." But Taylor's organization DEFIANCE[.]org didn't just build one leaky site. They built two. On the same server. UndoTrump[.]org — launched April 1, 2026 as an "April Fools' joke" — collects names, emails, and political messages from people signing up for fictional "Removal Parties" at government buildings. The White House Ballroom. The Kennedy Center. The DOJ. Battleships. 4,000+ signup records. 3,300+ unique people. Same vulnerability. Same API. Same zero authentication. And this one has death threats against a sitting President in the database. The man who was deputy chief of staff for the department that houses the Secret Service couldn't secure a sign-up form. Again. As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇

First federal indictment of a sitting Mexican governor in U.S. history. Mexico called the case "insufficient." ABC, NBC, CBS nightly news: silent. @SDNYnews — go public with the evidence, or let Mexico's claim stand?

@Maynardgcrabbs And the 1619 project is…?

@PoliticalShort How are they exploited? And what about the Kirk Team America shit actually in schools!

Democrats exploiting kids as political leverage against a president they don't like. Par for the course.

If cats weren’t brutally honest they wouldn’t be cats.

Speaking of which, here's Phillip Smyth in today's Scroll explaining how HAYI, the IRGC-backed front group claiming credit for the Golders Green attack, works:

Things are really heating up

Comparing Nielsen audited cable viewers to aggregated cross-platform “views” isn’t a category error by accident. It’s the entire trick. Fox’s 3.2M is measured live audience. TCN’s 56.8M counts every autoplay and scroll-past across every platform, deduplication unknown.

@MaxNordau @politicalelle If this is accurate, the likely paid number is in the 2,500–5,000 range depending on how you read the status field, and probably toward the lower end of that since “active” is the field that typically maps to a current subscription state in Supabase auth setups.

WOW: Tucker Carlson has 7,300 paid subscribers. But he also has a lot of casual viewers in Pakistan and Turkey.

Blue states increasingly act as transactional governments that distinguish between the people they serve and the people they bill. How does that usually end?

Nothing infuriates an uninformed Congressional Dem more than when they realize they voluntarily triggered a debate with someone who actually knows what they are talking about, reads federal statute and adheres to Supreme Court precedent. Today’s self-implosion by @rosadelauro was quite remarkable to witness. Without apology or regret, I will always adhere to the best available reading of federal statute pursuant to the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Loper Bright.

BREAKING: A top adviser to Anthony Fauci has been indicted for his role in covering up the origins of the COVID-19 epidemic by hiding and destroying key records, the New York Post reports.

43% of Americans who think the Republican Party is "so dangerous" that violence is necessary "to get the country back on track," also believe "Donald Trump wants children to learn that slavery was a good thing." The spread of misinformation about the Trump cabinet's "white supremacy" is associated with violent attitudes towards Republicans. These data come from the following survey: research.skeptic.com/2024-president…
