Reform in a culture riddled with corruption is never easy.

Trump is constantly reporting imaginary conversations happening in his head as though they are real.

[Justin Amash @justinamash]

There are so many things to criticize Democrats over, but here you are slamming them for blocking unconstitutional spying on Americans. You absolutely suck at this.

[Justin Amash @justinamash]

This is like how Trump called NAFTA “the worst Trade Deal ever made,” rebranded it as USMCA, and then called it “the best and most important trade deal ever made.”

This isn’t about protecting children; it’s about controlling adults.

I served in Congress with these Republicans. They do put the Second Amendment up for negotiation and routinely do not defend it.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

I like the Freedom Caucus, but attaching the SAVE Act to warrantless spying is dumb. Why would we let the government spy on us in exchange for anything?

After we trade the Fourth Amendment for parliamentary advantage, what shall we trade the First and Second Amendments for?

Bernie Sanders and Thomas Massie got people politically awake to the fact that the Democrats and Republicans are beholden to their Banker Mafia Handlers #UnipartyExit

[The Economist Commentary @Economist_Brief]

The Economist -"Those on the right like to dub the Conservatives and Labour 'the uniparty' suggesting there is little between them in Policy." American Independents also dub the Left and Right 'the uniparty' suggesting both are corruptAF and beholden to their Corporate handlers

[The Economist Commentary @Economist_Brief]

Absolutely! Bernie Sanders got people politically awake to the fact that the Democrats are just Republicans, and Thomas Massie just got people politically awake to the fact that the Republicans are just Democrats #UnipartyExit

I’m incredibly privileged and honored to serve under who I believe to be the greatest man in American politics since the days of our Founders, @RepThomasMassie @MassieforKY.

In less than a year, and in spite of the whole of the Washington establishment opposing us, we’ve achieved what any political consultant would have deemed impossible.

We threw a sucker punch to the globalist elites and caused a real upset in international affairs through the Epstein Files Transparency Act. We bypassed corrupt leadership in the House of Representatives and the White House. We exposed decades of deep seated corruption in our Department of Justice, spanning 5 presidential administrations. We caused the arrests and resignations of billionaires, CEOs, and even royalty. And through our law, we left an anvil over the necks of all DOJ/FBI participants in the Epstein coverup - who one day may face due punishment when we finally get an attorney general who serves the people, not the cronies.

We embarrassed the establishment, got blackballed, yet still managed to pass more legislation through the House floor - some of which will soon become law. Not to mention, we killed several damning legislative items that would otherwise be law today - such as liability immunities to pesticides and data center manufacturers.

Most importantly, as a consequence of the special interests and foreign lobbyists who attacked us with vitriol and slander due to our rejection of their dollars and schemes in favor of the American PEOPLE, we awakened millions of Americans.

By wasting 35 million dollars in what has become the most expensive Congressional election in the history of the United States, they turned Thomas Massie into a national symbol.

Those who saw through the propaganda learned of a man who votes by conscience, not intimidation. A true defender of the Constitution, and he became their last hope in government.

Of course, last night we lost. But I have a sneaking suspicion what they really did was turn Massie into a movement. This election caused waves that I believe will one day turn the tides.

We will have a return of America First in government. In the meantime, we carry on the fight.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

This post is from my Legislative Director, Raphael. He is the original author of the Epstein Files Transparency Act. He was offered twice his salary to leave my office and declined.

The staff of @RepRoKhanna and @RepMcGovern also made tremendous contributions to the legislation.

This poor boy was running away from someone who stabbed him & stole his phone, but the police in the UK attacked him instead of his murderer!

[Giorgia Meloni @GiorgiaMeloni]

Le immagini del ministro israeliano Ben Gvir sono inaccettabili. È inammissibile che questi manifestanti, fra cui molti cittadini italiani, vengano sottoposti a questo trattamento lesivo della dignità della persona.
Il Governo italiano sta immediatamente compiendo, ai più alti livelli istituzionali, tutti i passi necessari per ottenere la liberazione immediata dei cittadini italiani coinvolti.
L’Italia pretende inoltre le scuse per il trattamento riservato a questi manifestanti e per il totale disprezzo dimostrato nei confronti delle esplicite richieste del Governo italiano.
Per questi motivi, il Ministero degli Affari Esteri e della Cooperazione Internazionale convocherà immediatamente l’ambasciatore israeliano per chiedere chiarimenti formali su quanto accaduto.

The FBI spent almost a year investigating a dumb Instagram post. If this constitutes a prosecutable “true threat,” then the thing that’s been eighty-sixed is the First Amendment.

[Justin Amash @justinamash]

The House will vote today on a three-year FISA 702 extension.

Any Republican telling you they’re voting yes on FISA in exchange for a CBDC ban is a liar or a fool.

The Senate will strip the CBDC ban. They know this or should know it.

And no one should support FISA regardless!

[Justin Amash @justinamash]

FISA 702 just passed the House.

This bill lets the government search Americans’ private communications without a warrant—in direct violation of the Fourth Amendment.

But don’t blame the GOP alone.

Forty-two Democrats betrayed the American people to help Mike Johnson pass it.

[Justin Amash @justinamash]

Abolish the FCC.

The government shouldn’t be pressuring companies with respect to late night hosts, comedians, or anyone else for monologues, commentary, or jokes—whether their words are insightful, ignorant, funny, boring, politically neutral, or politically biased.
