Summary

Trump signed an executive order asserting presidential control over previously independent federal agencies like the FEC, FCC, SEC, and FTC, requiring them to submit to White House oversight through budget chief Russ Vought and White House liaisons. The order's supporters argue it restores constitutional authority and electoral accountability, while critics view it as a power grab over agencies designed to operate independently.

    🚨 BREAKING: Trump just WON'T STOP! The President just dropped ANOTHER executive order that could reshape the entire federal government. Here's what you need to know... 🧵 1/

    The order gives Presidents DIRECT CONTROL over "independent" agencies that have operated outside White House influence for DECADES. This is HUGE. Constitution Art. 2, Sec. 1 puts that power EXCLUSIVELY in the President. The Deep State has ignored that since the 30s. 2/

    We're talking about agencies with MASSIVE power: • Federal Election Commission • FCC • SEC • Federal Trade Commission They've operated as their own dictatorial Democrat kingdoms for DECADES. No longer! 3/

    BREAKING: The order requires ALL these agencies to submit their regulations to Trump budget chief Russ Vought, who helped write the Project 2025 blueprint đź‘€ Elections have to matter. If these agencies aren't responsible to the elected branches and voters, we aren't free. 4/

    Vought's OMB will now write performance standards for agency heads and report directly to Trump about who's following orders and who isn't.⚠️ No more freelancing! Elections are going to matter again! 5/

    Even BETTER: The order FORCES these agencies to hire White House liaisons - basically the President's eyes and ears inside every agency. 🔍 Remember when USAID told the Senate it didn't have to submit to oversight? Those days are GONE. 6/

    When Democrats created these agencies a century ago, the pretended it was to "keep politics out". TOTAL LIE: they're all staffed by Democrats, who stay and rule no matter who wins the White House. And anyway, what does "keep politics out" really mean? Keeping VOTERS out! 7/

    🚨 NEW: 20 state Attorneys General just backed Trump at SCOTUS, led by Florida AG @JamesUthmeierFL. Yet again, the Free State of Florida stands up for our rights and the Constitution! 8/

    @JamesUthmeierFL The Fed gets a special carve-out for monetary policy, because if you're going to have a central bank (you SHOULDN'T) it has to be independent to work. Of course, last year, the Fed cut rates to help Biden and Harris's election chances. So more reform is needed. 9/

    @JamesUthmeierFL 10/ The establishment will scream that this is about a "power grab." Don't buy it. This is about THEIR power, to keep running the government no matter who's President. Elections have to matter, plain and simple. The Uniparty HATES that, and hates the Constitution. 10/
