Reviving NUSA Twitter
On July 30, 2024, President teasoups initiated the return of NUSA's Twitter community by creating the @SoupCabotWH and @NUSAteasoup pages on X, which prompted many individuals to either create or revive former X accounts that had been used during NUSA's Twitter peak in the years of 2020, 2021, and 2022. It was her second major act as President after the ending of the Ridgeway war.
Judicial branch reform
On August 1, 2024, Teasoups initiated her judicial reform plan by calling on all associate justices to "resign with dignity" before threatening them with impeachment and a civil office bar. Justices stickza, turntable500 and AustinBoBoston1 later stepped down from the bench in the following days. Teasoups has faced criticism for the intimidation, with people arguing that she is attempting to rid the court of former justices to pack it with loyalists.
Foreign affairs
Ending the war with Ridgeway
teasoups' first act as President was to end the war with the State of Ridgeway, a war of which had begun near the end of GeorgeGodsent's term as a "mock" sort of war to boost USM activity. Teasoups had made it clear that she wanted to instead host collaborative and joint military events with Ridgeway, rather than be at war with them[3].
