Big Money campaign contributions are destroying American democracy.
Today, Rep. Summer Lee and I are introducing legislation to end billionaire-funded super PACs.
Democracy means one person, one vote.
We must not allow oligarchs to buy elections.
Gotta love when a foreign interest PAC brags about buying a seat in our congress. We need to get big money out of our politics.
The Supreme Court must overturn Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission.
Congressional staff were told by administration officials in private briefings Sunday that Iran was not preparing to launch a preemptive strike against U.S. interests based on U.S. intelligence reports, people familiar with the briefing told @ABC News. https://t.co/qvILrpdA5e
As yet another preemptive war is begun in the Middle East, John Quincy Adam’s words of wisdom still ring true:
“Wherever the standard of freedom and Independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will her heart, her benedictions and her prayers be.”
Like most Americans I have sympathy for the plight of the Iranian people and all subjected people around the globe, from North Korea to Tibet.
But as Adam’s wrote, America: “goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy.
She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all.
She is the champion and vindicator only of her own.”
The Constitution conferred the power to declare or initiate war to Congress for a reason, to make war less likely.
Madison wrote that “the Executive Branch is the branch most prone to war, therefore, the Constitution, with studied care, delegated the war power to the legislature.”
As with all war, my first and purest instinct is wish Americans soldiers safety and success in their mission.
But my oath of office is to the Constitution, so with studied care, I must oppose another Presidential war.
It is still possible to cross the aisle in America. Together with @RepThomasMassie at the State of the Union for justice for Epstein survivors and no war in Iran.
The President of the United States called me a moron at the National Prayer Breakfast this morning because I’m still fighting for what he promised the American people:
Reduce big spending, DOGE, no new wars, end foreign aid, defend 1A 2A 4A, prolife, and expose sex traffickers.
“Massie has been totally disloyal to the President of the United States and the Republican Party. He never votes for us…” yeah uh buddy, those in office should only be loyal to the AMERICAN PEOPLE and the CONSTITUTION. DJT is a joke
So now he’s attacking my wife who voted for him three times. Maybe someone told him she’s actually the one who suggested I ask Pam Bondi in person at a dinner when we would get Phase 2 of the Epstein files. Bondi said there were no more files. As they say, the rest is history.
Today, ICE officers in Minneapolis were conducting targeted operations when rioters began blocking ICE officers and one of these violent rioters weaponized her vehicle, attempting to run over our law enforcement officers in an attempt to kill them—an act of domestic terrorism.
An ICE officer, fearing for his life, the lives of his fellow law enforcement and the safety of the public, fired defensive shots.
He used his training and saved his own life and that of his fellow officers.
The alleged perpetrator was hit and is deceased. The ICE officers who were hurt are expected to make full recoveries.
This is the direct consequence of constant attacks and demonization of our officers by sanctuary politicians who fuel and encourage rampant assaults on our law enforcement who are facing 1,300% increase in assaults against them and an 8,000% increase in death threats.
This is an evolving situation, and we will give the public more information as soon as it becomes available.
