Congress is not serious.
We are voting on a stock trading ban for members of Congress…
BUT Republicans added voter-ID in the legislation.
Not to get Dems to vote for voter-ID,
but to get them to vote against the stock trading ban, so they can use it in the Nov. election.
Thomas Massie is going NUCLEAR on Trump’s regime change war in Venezuela.
“How did it work out in Cuba, Libya, Iraq, or Syria?”
“Do we want another Afghanistan in the Western Hemisphere?”
“This is about oil and regime change.”
“Previous presidents told us to go to war over WMDs, weapons of mass destruction, that did not exist.”
“Now it’s the same playbook, except we’re told that drugs are the WMDs.”
“James Madison warned us that in no part of the Constitution is more wisdom to be found than in the clause which confides the question of war and peace to the legislature—not the executive.”
“The framers understood a simple truth: to the extent that war-making power devolves to one person, liberty dissolves.”
“By escalating toward war, we would predictably create countless refugees.”
“Are we prepared to receive swarms of the 25 million Venezuelans who will likely become refugees?”

ICYMI: While the world was focused on #AlexMurdaghtrial last week, we broke a major development in a hemp farmer's civil suit against SLED Chief Mark Keel.
A judge hit the state's top law enforcer with an $11,307.26 fine for discovery abuses.
Original report:
Decentralize money.
No digital dollar.
A digital U.S. currency would be one of the most dangerous developments in history. When government can simply flip a switch to block all your transactions, it controls your entire life. We need a wall of separation between money and state.
Punishment for murdering a family in a drone strike: nothing.
Punishment for letting us know that the government is murdering families in drone strikes: 45 months in prison.
Happy #ConstitutionDay. We should never forget the Constitution wasn’t written to restrain citizen’s behavior it was written to restrain the government’s behavior. Protecting the Constitution protects our liberties.
You need F-15s and nuclear weapons to overthrow the government but a few dozen unarmed "trespassers" almost overthrew the government? Come on, man! Watch today's Liberty Report:
