Donald Trump celebrated his first 100 days of his second term in office on Tuesday and held a huge rally in Michigan. On Wednesday, he held a televised Cabinet meeting which is producing plenty of headlines.
One story we already knew about but is still chilling to hear: former President Joe Biden was spying on American citizens, and he considered many of his own countrymen to be enemies.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio laid out that there was a department at State devoted to combing through the personal lives and thoughts of citizens:
🚨This is NUTS: Secretary Rubio just announced that he found DOZENS of files kept by Joe Biden’s State Department that classified American citizens as “vectors of disinformation” — with the intention of censoring them.
That’s not all.

That’s not all.
Marco Rubio says that there’s someone in President Trump’s cabinet meeting RIGHT NOW that was being monitored.
“There’s at least one person at THIS TABLE TODAY who had a dossier in that building…”
Joe Biden’s administration was corrupt ALL THE WAY THROUGH!
Rubio talked about the “dossiers” compiled against those suspected of being guilty of wrongthink:
Something else we got out of the business of—it wasn’t widely reported, or maybe it was. We had an office in the Department of State whose job it was to censor Americans.
And by the way, I’m not gonna say who it is, I’ll leave it up to them, there’s at least one person at this table today who had a dossier in that building, of social media posts to identify them as purveyors of disinformation. We have these dossiers. We are going to be turning those over to these individuals.
That’s when Vice President JD Vance jumped in with the line of the day: “Was it me or Elon?” The room erupted into loud laughter.

Rubio collected himself and continued:
Well, we are going to turn over these dossiers to the individuals and they’ll decide whether they want to disclose it or not.
But just think about, the Department of State of the United States had set up an office to monitor the social media posts and commentary of American citizens to identify them as “vectors of disinformation.”
When we know that the best way to combat disinformation is freedom of speech and transparency, and so that’s what we’re going to be in the business of doing—we’re not going to have an office that does that.
The media and the Democrats whine on about Trump being a dictator, a Hitler devotee, and a fascist. In reality, it was Joe Biden who showed much more of an authoritarian streak, and his use of the federal government to go after his perceived enemies was deeply sinister. He used the Department of Justice and its henchmen to go after Donald Trump and used the Department of State and other agencies to spy on and censor the people.
