🚨 War Powers & the Constitution 🚨 “Until war is Constitutionally declared, the nation and all its members must observe and preserve peace” -John Jay, first Chief Justice Learn how Pres. Washington, Adams, Jefferson & Madison put this into practice.

🎂🎉 Happy Birthday to the legendary Thomas Paine (b. 1737)! With words that fueled the American Revolution, Paine reminded us: “Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.” Let’s honor his legacy by standing strong for liberty! 💪

8/ The solution isn’t to beg politicians or courts for mercy. Power concedes nothing without demand. It’s time to stop pleading and start acting. 🔥 As the founders told us - it's up to the people to protect and defend their own constitution, their own liberty - whether the government likes it, or not. 🔥

4/ The very idea that we must petition the government to follow its own limits means those limits are meaningless in practice. The people aren’t keeping the federal government in check—it’s just being asked to keep itself in check.

2/ In short, the American revolutionaries lived under a system where the government did whatever it wanted until the people could maybe convince the government to stop doing what it shouldn't have been doing in the first place.

🚨 Thread: The British won in the long run? 1/ The Patriots fought a long, bloody war to free themselves from unlimited, centralized power over them "in all cases whatsoever"—the Declaratory Act, which was the basis of everything the British government did to them.

"One nation, indivisible" is one of the most anti-American pieces of propaganda in history.

@elonmusk Thomas Jefferson warned us.

Jefferson and Madison’s principles are clear: No branch is superior to the others—each must adhere to the Constitution to the best of their ability in the areas where they are assigned to act. They won’t always agree, and that’s what real checks and balances are all about. And ultimately—it’s the people of the states who have the final say on whether the Constitution is violated. 10/
