MTG is convinced that the desire for a new party is even stronger than it was during Ross Perot’s campaign. “Both parties are broken.” “Social Security’s going bankrupt.” “Health insurance is unaffordable.” “The value of the dollar continues to crumble.” “Life here continues to get worse and worse.” “And Republicans are not going to fix it.” “Democrats, same thing.” “So I do see a future where very serious-minded people from the left and the right can come together … on a core group of issues.” “Social issues that we really fight on, put them to the side and … let’s come together on the very serious issues, like the cost of living.” “Inflation.” “Housing.” “Jobs.” “Healthcare.” “Ross Perot got nearly 20% of the vote.” “There was a thirst that strong back then that hated the Republican Party, and also there were Democrat voters that voted for him.” “I think the thirst is much bigger now.” “And I think it’s getting to a point where it’s doable.” @FmrRepMTG @mtgreenee @BrandonStraka

We just cracked the secret to dismantling the two-party system. “Death by a thousand cuts.” No new party has ever tried it. Until now. Jay Scott just broke down our plan to declare independence from the corrupt uniparty: “There are a ton of local and county elections that a lot of people don’t pay attention to.” “These seats … hold a significant amount of power.” “They control a large amount of the budget.” “A lot of that is being used to feed the corruption that’s happening all over the country.” And over 70% of them are uncontested. Neither the Democrats or Republicans spend money on them, or even think about them. “We’re going to nominate people to challenge those positions that are right now uncontested.” “There is actually an unspoken agreement between Democrats and Republicans not to challenge each other too much outside of these big-name elections.” “We have corruption that’s been locked in for generations and decades.” “One family may donate to a party, then they control all these uncontested elections.” “And they use it to give contracts to them and their friends.” “That’s how this corruption keeps going.” “It’s bad for the country.” “It’s bad for efficiency.” We’re about to shatter that system once and for all. Even if we don’t win every election, our candidates will force the two parties to spend money to beat us, which will spread their campaign budgets thin. This is the movement Americans have wanted for decades. But we need all hands on deck to make it happen. Join us below:🧵 @thejayscott @UnsolicitedHQ

📣🤝MTG. Tucker Carlson. Thomas Massie. Ro Khanna. The Squad. Left, Right. Uniting under We The People Party? We love it the idea.💡 "We are as American as American can be. We want the best for this country." Kim's vision? Sit down with your so-called enemies. Agree that the whole system is bought and sold. Build something that actually works for people instead of "big interests." She calls herself a "leftist libertarian." Says she's 100% in if this happens. That's the real story here. It's not about left vs right anymore. It's about whether these unlikely names can actually share a room long enough to admit the uniparty is broken beyond repair. "The two-party system that we currently have, the uniparty system, is not working." No fluff. No campaign slogans. Just a coalition that shouldn't work on paper—but might be exactly what we need. July 4th feels like the right time to start watching this space. Who's actually ready to build something new? @RepThomasMassie @mtgreenee @RoKhanna @KimIversenShow @TuckerCarlson

Local change is the path forward. We the People cannot keep waiting for Washington to save us. There's real power at the local level, and it's time to take it back.

🔥"Your mission is to fight for humans. Make sure we're not completely replaced."👾 Bill Maher has been wrong about a lot lately. But this? This he got exactly right. 👊Fight. For. Humans. Read that again. Not fight for the climate. Not fight for "the system." Not fight for some abstract utopia where humanity has been optimized out of the equation. Maher just described the circle jerk that is modern academia: Students use AI to write papers. Professors use AI to grade them. And somewhere in that automation, the human being—the actual thinking, struggling, growing person—has been deleted from the equation. This is the defining issue of our time. Not because AI is "dangerous" in some sci-fi movie sense. But because we've become hopelessly dependent on the very thing replacing us. 90% of college students using AI academically. 73% of faculty dealing with "AI integrity issues"—which is a polite way of saying mass-scale cheating enabled by machines. We've built a world where outsourcing your cognition isn't just accepted, it's encouraged. Where the path of least resistance leads directly to your own obsolescence. And here's what the AI safety crowd won't tell you: They don't actually care if humans get replaced. They care if the *AI* is "aligned." They care about the machines. The rest of us are just biomass waiting to be optimized. Maher's right. This generation's mission isn't to save the planet from humanity. It's to save humanity from becoming irrelevant. The highest calling isn't stewardship of some abstract future—it's stewardship of the species itself. All 8 billion of us. Plus the billions yet to come. Fight for the humans. Because if we don't, we won't be around to fight for anything else. Independent thought means having the courage to say: I am pro-human. Unapologetically. Without qualification. Not because I hate technology, but because I love *us*. Our art. Our struggle. Our messy, imperfect, irreplaceable minds. The mission is humanity itself. Everything else is just code. @billmaher
