Replying to @DataRepublican and @DataInterpretr
Welcome to the Pentagon Press Corps! 🇺🇸
Deputy Press Sec Joel Valdez @JoelValdezDOW - Welcome to the Pentagon Press Corps!

DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican - You certainly do look happy and relaxed after a week of ignoring DHS funding!

DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican - He is risen!

DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican - And that article seems to be gone & rewritten lol
https://x.com/DataRepublican/status/2040894565310243284
DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican - The fundamental problem is that think tanks can only exist when (1) the government is sufficiently so large that it relies on people who work on the outside full-time to generate policy, (2) there is a sufficiently credentialed and hierarchical ecosystem to elevate one policy paper above another
This isn’t to put down all think tanks. They are a symptom, not a cause.
But they do create a deep structural incentive to maintain the status quo, and true libertarian politics are inherently incompatible with a think tank lifestyle.
So of course a “libertarian” think tank ends up writing articles about why Soros should not be targeted and why illegal immigration is good, because those end up being the only safe lanes for them to exist in

DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican - No wonder the institutional thinktank libertarians have been counter-signaling anything remotely MAGA related without any concern about left-wing politics. Open Society got their hands on them.
Steven Greenhut, who wrote this article, is a "region director" for R Street Institute, a thinktank that is an explicit Open Society Foundations grantee. They have personnel overlap with Reason Foundation (which runs @reason).
So of course Reason spends more time worrying about the "authoritarianism" of targeting George Soros than about noncitizens voting in our elections.

DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican - And he appears to have deleted that post lol

DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican - This is the reporter who wrote this article, by the way.
https://x.com/DataRepublican/status/2040796294738817495
DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican - About half of it taxpayer funded, last time I checked.
https://x.com/DataRepublican/status/2040544624599777613
DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican - You didn't have to state this so bluntly, Grok
https://x.com/DataRepublican/status/2040531040037654780
DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican - "Because I learned about civic engagement during high school, I know how to go about dismantling processes that are inconsistent with my beliefs on justice."
And we wonder why DC juries won't convict Democrats?
Foundation / taxpayer money → Mikva Challenge → mandatory DCPS curriculum → 7 years of "power analysis" and "privilege & oppression" (grades 6-12) → adult → DC juror
Mikva launched in DC in 2015. The first full cohort is now 21 and entering the jury pool.
Thread end.

DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican - Mikva also receives $951,000 in government grants, 15.4% of their $6.2M annual revenue.
Tax dollars funding a mandatory curriculum that teaches "privilege and oppression" to kids in a school system where 79% aren't college-ready.
