This will be the first and last time I ask to boost counts. But my mother is visiting and will be thrilled beyond belief if she wakes up in the morning and finds her follower count has gone over 100,000. @data_republican is at 99.4K followers. Can you please push her over to the 6 digits territory?

So you’re telling me you’ve arrested more American soldiers involved in capturing Maduro than people on the Epstein list, or politicians who somehow magically became better investors than Warren Buffett the second they took office? Wild priorities.

NEW: Kid gives a blunt answer after a CNN reporter asked him why he was excited about the Artemis II launch. Reporter: "Why do you want to be here? Why do you love space? Why do you love being a part of history?" Kid: "We're going back to the freakin' moon, that's why!"

Thune screwed America and left town, so I’m in my office having dinner til we vote later tonight and clean up his mess. The House will fund TSA, Homeland, Cybersecurity, Human Trafficking Investigations…. Secure America 🇺🇸🫡

Your Senate Majority leader defunded ICE in a shady backroom deal at 3 AM. We aren't interested in your comms.

RE: Data Republican I am a huge Data Republican (small r) (“DR”) fan. I know many of you are as well. But I’m not sure everyone fully understands the sheer bravery, brilliance and audacity of this deaf every-woman. You see, the government you elect is not what actually governs you. For every area of government (no matter how specialized or arcane), there are powerful lobbying groups, think-tanks, non-governmental organizations ("NGOs"), specialized media outlets, university-sponsored centers and other ostensibly "independent" organizations that act and behave as an unaccountable form of government outside the reaches of the electoral process. While these organizations claim to act in the public interest, each and everyone of them is a self-serving oligarchy that is designed solely to promote the interests of those on the inside--genuine public interest be damned. This is America of course, and freedom of speech and freedom of association are fundamental to our freedoms. However, over many decades, these organizations have found “legal” ways to obtain trillions of your taxpayer dollars in the form of “grants” for “studies,” “policy symposiums” and all manner of other taxpayer-funded activities designed specifically to circumvent the policies the American people VOTED FOR and to perpetuate policies and activities that the average American has explicitly rejected. These activities occur on both the Left and the Right, of course, but over time they have become the near exclusive domain of the Left. These organizations serve as taxpayer/Soros-funded, income-generating activities for Leftists whenever they are out of power, and if/when Leftists seize control of the Presidency or Congress, these organizations are the proverbial bullpens from which powerful Leftists full of the ideas you thought you once eliminated can storm right back into the actual process of governance, implementing all of those dark and mysterious policies that your tax dollars were secretly funding while the Leftists were otherwise off howling in the wilderness. Call it the Deep State. Call it unconstitutional. Call it theft of your hard-earned taxpayer dollars. Call it the evil of the Soros family. Call it what ever you will, but know this—it is a monstrous Leviathan sitting right outside the scope of your votes, dedicated to negating your votes at your own expense, in the most diabolical manner possible. It is the state outside the state. It is self-serving. It does not care about you. It only cares about itself. And its power is VAST. You see it right here on X—you see the swarms of fire ants that come spilling out with destruction in mind whenever anyone uncovers the anthill they are lurking under. And right at the heart of that is our hero, DR. I have been actively following politics virtually my entire life, and never before has there been anyone quite like DR. Through dispassionate data analysis, the smart use of AI and a relentless drive for fairness and justice, DR has done more to shine a light on the nature of this extra-governmental Leviathan than any other person I can ever recall. For her efforts, she has been doxxed by a mendacious Rolling Stone article. She has endured a concerted effort to destroy her husband’s totally unrelated business. She and her husband have received LITERALLY THOUSANDS of death threats. She and her family had to go into hiding. An ordinary woman would have backed down in fear. But not DR. They just made her mad. And an angry genius is an enemy no one wants to face. She still stares them down, day in and day out. Her book will be out soon. Buy it. Buy copies for your friends. Buy copies and leave them on street corners and airport tables. AMERICANS NEED TO KNOW THE TRUTH. DR’s book may well end up being the most important and influential American book on politics since “Common Sense." If America is going to survive, we must ALL shine a bright light on this extra-governmental Leviathan, grab a hold of its fangs, and drain the venom out of them. This is not playtime people. This is life and death. We glorify the warrior who does great deeds on the battlefield, as we should. But know that bravery comes in many forms, and as DR has stood in the fire and endured real threats to her life and existence, her audacious bravery is every bit as real as those heroes we see being decorated by the President. Right now, in the USA, no unelected person is doing more to ensure freedom than Data Republican. You can support her by subscribing to her account, but you can also support her by being as brave as she is. I aspire to maybe show such bravery myself some day. We all should aspire to that. One day she will earn the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Together we can defeat The Beast.

My team, myself & @camhigby were just violently assaulted on Skid Row, my camera crew were punched in the neck and face, we were pepper sprayed, but thankfully just escaped. Some members of our team had to run 10 blocks to get out. We were in the heart of Skid Row confronting the petitioners who @Savsays and my team caught on tape illegally offering drugs for ballot signatures. Please share this video to understand what we’re up against.

Today has been pretty intense. Thank you all for your support. I'm going to sign off for a bit, but I want to leave everyone with some thoughts. People on the Right tend to use pseudonyms on social media because we have well-founded concerns of death threats, attempts to get us fired from our jobs, attacks on family members, hacking, SWATting and all other manner of evil (and often illegal) mischief from those on the Left, up to and including being murdered for our free speech. People on the Left tend to use their real names on social media because they know that people on the Right tend to respect the rule of law and the basic dignity of other human beings. We are not the same.

Hello Brad Duplessis, You pre-emptively blocked me here on 𝕏, so I am forced to make this "Hello" a standalone post. You are a retired Army infantry officer. You served in Iraq and Afghanistan. You graduated from the National War College in 2018. You are now an Assistant Professor at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College, Fort Belvoir, Virginia. Thank you for your service. But reputations are not defined by resumes. They are defined by choices. Today, you chose to doxx @CynicalPublius. Today, you published your debut article on War on the Rocks. You published his legal name. His profession. His pseudonym. All in one sentence. Indexed, archived, permanently searchable. You have changed the course of his life forever, and revealed him to the leftist ghouls who will demand his blood for forever. It doesn't matter if he was planning to reveal his identity eventually. You still made that choice. And I will make sure you are remembered for this. So, what was CP's sin such that you saw it fit to throw him to the wolves? Last month, he dared to write an article for American Greatness, centered around nine recommendations for War College reform. The recommendations included firing most civilian faculty and ending permanent military faculty positions. You hold a permanent civilian faculty position at a War College. You did not mention this in your article. In short, you named him, exposed his life to danger, because you really are arguing for your job and self-preservation. Know what is the most disgusting, hypocritical part of this is? In the Fall 2017 issue of eARMOR (the U.S. Army Armor Branch professional journal) you published an article. You titled it "Our Readiness Problem: Brigade Combat Team Lethality." You opened with General Milley: "Our fundamental task is like no other — it is to win in the unforgiving crucible of ground combat." Your thesis: "If we are to get after GEN Milley's No. 1 priority, we must first address brigade combat team (BCT) lethality." The word "lethality" appears in your article about fifty times. You meant it as a compliment. Now contrast to today's piece. You wrote this: "In staking out this Huntingtonian position, the cult of lethality does a disservice to service members and the American people." The same word. Nine years apart. You were a field commander then, and lethality was the mission. You are a faculty member now, and lethality is what your critics embarrassingly worship. Frankly - and you will never realize this - but you yourself are the living, walking example of the thesis which @PeteHegseth is proving. Also, you named a section of today's article after Colin Powell. You called him your model of what War College education produces. Colin Powell endorsed Barack Obama in 2008, endorsed Joe Biden in 2020, and publicly called Donald Trump "dangerous for our democracy." Powell, who infamously tipped the scales at the UN to start the Iraq war even after privately doubting the WMD intelligence, is your hero in an article about who gets to reform the military in 2026. In addition to being a doxxer, you look a lot less like someone who's defending institutions, and a lot more like someone who exemplifies institutional capture in the name of self-preservation. And you disclosed none of it. Let me reiterate. @CynicalPublius wrote under a pseudonym and identified himself as a retired Army colonel with Afghanistan and Iraq experience. He argued about curriculum policy. You responded by putting his name on the internet. Your career depends on the institutions you are defending. Your article defending those institutions is the same article that ended his anonymity. You taught your students about the instruments of national power, Professor Duplessis. You are now a living, breathing demonstration one of them. And why reform must happen.

🚨 BREAKING: Republicans in Congress are beginning to call for @RepTonyGonzales to RESIGN after messages were released of him pushing a female staffer for “sexy pics” and her “favorite position” before she allegedly kiIIed herself TWICE she told Gonzales he was going too far, but he kept pushing anyway This dude’s a total creep. The people of Texas’ 23rd district need a send a message and OVERWHELMINGLY vote for Brandon Herrera, @TheAKGuy. Fire Gonzales.

So much winning! Get 'em Brandon!

They're still not listening 😂

What happened today in Minnesota was Demonic. It should be called out for what it is. These people are so lost they don’t even know who or what they are fighting for.

This dude has done far more useful journalism than any of the winners of the 2024 @pulitzercenter prizes.

Prosecute @GovTimWalz

This is insane… This kid is doing more journalism than CNN and 60 Minutes have done in years. Minnesota "daycares" that are empty at Noon and have all of the windows covered.

Agree with Matt Walsh here. 🔊

🚨#BREAKING: Law enforcement officials have identified the suspect in the shooting of two National Guard members in Washington, D.C., as 29-year-old Rahmanullah Lakanwal, an Afghan national.

UPDATE: My campaign has now successfully raised over $1.1 Million so far, only 3 months into the race. This is more than we raised all of the last primary, and a massive problem for Tony Even better, it was without DC Super PACs. Just everyday people who believe in our message.
