Keynesian economists perform elaborate mathematical gymnastics to "prove" that $1 of government spending magically becomes $1.50 of economic growth. This fiscal multiplier fairy tale ignores what Bastiat called the "unseen" - the productive investments that never happen because resources were seized by bureaucrats first. Every bridge to nowhere represents a thousand private innovations strangled in their cribs. The seen stimulus creates jobs for government contractors and ribbon-cutting ceremonies for politicians. The unseen is the cancer research, the small businesses, the breakthrough technologies that die stillborn because capital was diverted to political pet projects. Modern economies don't multiply wealth through redistribution any more than you create water by moving it between buckets.

Scott Pressler’s solid reasons opposing Elon’s third party idea.
I understand the frustration, but the answer is to focus on improving the Republican candidates and election integrity.
‼️I’m Vehemently Opposed to the Creation of a Third Party‼️
Let me preface this by saying I support both President Trump & Elon Musk. I think I speak for many — hopefully — that we wish both “dads” can come to an agreement & work together for successful 2026 midterm elections.
It is also important to note that, while having a Republican White House, House, & Senate, we must be cognizant that — even w/ a majority — it still proves a challenge to get *every* single thing Republicans want in budget bills.
Arguments Against a Third Party
▪️Ross Perot Spoiler Effect
In 1992, billionaire Ross Perot ran as an independent for president. Perot earned 18.9% of the vote; George H. W. Bush received 37.5% of the vote; & Bill Clinton won the presidency w/ 43%.
In Pennsylvania, for example, Clinton won 2.2 million votes in the Commonwealth. Bush and Perot earned 1.7 million and 900,000 votes, respectively. One could argue that Bush could have won Pennsylvania if Perot were not in the race.
▪️Not the Majority in Many States
In Pennsylvania, voters w/ no party affiliation or registered w/ a minor party do NOT make up the majority of the Commonwealth.
There are 3.8 million registered democrats, 3.6 million registered Republicans; & independents/minor parties only have 1.4 million voters.
The argument that independents are the majority is not the case for Pennsylvania.
▪️ “America Party” Pulls From Republicans
I’m going to say it: What it means to be a democrat in modern American society means that America should come last. This is a party that has fought harder for Ukraine and funding for other countries — as well as illegal aliens — than homeless Americans. Even liberal judges, appointed by President Obama, have worked tirelessly to try to stop President Trump from deporting illegal aliens.
Using the name “America Party” is an automatic disqualifier for many democrat voters, as this is the party that burns the American flag and waves the Mexican and Palestinian Authority flags, instead.
With the left vandalizing Tesla vehicles and largely despising the beautiful Elon Musk — the architect of the America Party — the creation of a third party would mostly hurt the Republican Party of Pennsylvania.
▪️Ballot Access Remains Difficult
As recent as the 2024 presidential elections, the Libertarian Party LOST automatic ballot access in Georgia due to a lack of votes.
In 2020, the current democrat Pennsylvania Supreme Court removed Green Party presidential candidates from the ballot.
▪️Candidates (or Lack Thereof)
In addition to funding the ballot access for candidates to even make the ballot, you have to have candidates for your third party.
Respectfully — & I say this as nicely as possible — we cannot even get enough people to run for vacant seats as it currently stands. Similarly, we cannot even get enough Election Day Workers to fill every Republican slot in critical counties in swing states. I would argue that Election Day Workers are one of the most important positions in the country, as they oversee our elections — thousands remain open.
👉For these reasons above, I vehemently oppose the creation of a third party, while deeply respecting both President Trump & Elon Musk.👈
I’ve dedicated much of the last decade to Pennsylvania. We are 74,606 *active* voters away from flipping Pennsylvania 🟦🔜🟥. While the reasons above reflect historical and scientific data against the creation of a third party, I also selfishly oppose it simply b/c I’ve worked too hard in Pennsylvania to see years of sweat equity go to waste.
I want to shift the Overton window to the right. The only way I know how to do that is by registering as many new Republican voters as humanly possible & to elect new Republicans at the local, state, & federal levels.
I hope to have earned your support AGAINST the creation of a third party & to have secured your support to create the most robust Republican Party that Pennsylvania has ever seen.
Game on.

With much sadness, we can now confirm that DFL House Leader Melissa Hortman and her husband have passed away after being targeted at their home.
Pray for Minnesota.
Pray for America.
Pray for peace.
Political violence is NEVER acceptable.
It is a great court ruling!
However, protect the interpreters for the deaf. Move their funding into the disability area so they continue funding. Currently public schools, colleges, feds and local gov wrongly include interpreters in their DEI category. No DEI. No interpreters.

When my baby sister was born with two holes in her heart and needed a very risky surgery, my father, @SecDuffy, knew he needed be at home with his newborn daughter, my mother, and my eight siblings. So my dad resigned. What he did not do was demand an unconstitutional exception that would allow him to vote remotely. He viewed his job in Congress as a responsibility and a privilege, not an entitlement.
If you are unable to fulfill the duties required of a member of Congress because you are a parent of a small child, feel free to resign. Many have before.

‼️Pennsylvania, I Really Need Your Help‼️
What if I told you that you can 👉defeat THREE democrat Supreme Court Justices👈 in just one election?
There are 5️⃣ democrats on the PA Supreme Court.
3️⃣ of the 5️⃣ are up for retention this November.
What does that mean?
It means that voters will be asked if each of the Justices should be retained.
I’m asking you to vote ❌NO to Justices Wecht, Donohue, & Dougherty.
Why should we vote ❌NO?
These Justices are guilty of allowing former democrat Governor Wolf to shut down Pennsylvania during COVID
&/or allowing mail-in ballots to be accepted 3️⃣ days after Election Day in 2020.
They also ruled in favor of 🗳️drop boxes.
So, if you want to hold these democrat Justices accountable for shutting down the Commonwealth & for allowing the 2020 election to be stolen, it’s a very easy ❌NO.
All we need is a simple majority ❌NO vote & you’ll kick all 3️⃣ of the bench.
Don’t worry — Governor Shapiro won’t be able to replace them with democrats b/c Republicans control the State Senate.
You’ll be able to vote for replacements for the Justices in 2027.
Democrats are banking on Republicans staying home. They think you’re done voting.
👉I’m making some very powerful enemies by waging this ❌NO to retention campaign👈
So, I’m asking for your votes on 🗓️Tuesday, November 4th, 2025.
Who’s with me?
On Nov 13, Senate Republicans elect the Majority leader. We NEED Senator Rick Scott in this position—an America First champion we can trust to support Agenda 47. @SenRubioPress @SenRickScott alignact.com/go/Scott4Leader
