Age verification is backdoor mass surveillance.

[Omnicris @Omnicris]

@SpeakerJohnson Guthrie, you, and anyone who supported, co-sponsored, or voted yes for this legislation to pass in the House tonight are major threats to the freedoms of the United States. You should all be considered traitors and need to be voted out & removed from office as soon as possible.

[John Birch Society @The_JBS]

@SpeakerJohnson Speaker Johnson, these are Trojan Horse bills for Digital ID and Mass Surveillance.

The American People don't want this.

[John Birch Society @The_JBS]

The KIDS Act is going to create a Digital ID infrastructure used to end Anonymous Free Speech Online.

[Justin Amash @justinamash]

Here’s the roll call of members of Congress who betrayed the Constitution and the American people by voting yes on the KIDS Act.

The sickest part is that these people used “protecting kids” as an excuse to further insert government between parents and their children—all while establishing a surveillance infrastructure to monitor and control Americans of all ages.

[Justin Amash @justinamash]

Any member of Congress who votes yes today on the KIDS Act—empowering the government at parents’ expense and turning every American into a surveillance target—should be removed from office.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

This is a dangerous anti-privacy bill (identity verification) that the House of Representatives might try to pass by voice vote this afternoon before many of us are even in town. Senators Mike Lee, Rand Paul, and Ron Wyden voted against a similar bill in the Senate two years ago.

[MW4Liberty @MW4Liberty]

Anyone else notice how the Iran situation is turning into background noise?

That’s the trap. It becomes a hum everyone got used to,all while trillions of dollars are quietly funneled into the military industrial complex.

This is exactly how "forever wars" become the norm.

[America First Insight @AF_Insight]

SCOTUS being a bit schizophrenic

6-3 Trump can fire the FTC Commissioner.

5-4 Trump cannot fire Lisa Cook*.

Either the FED are part of the government under the executive branch, in which then Trump can fire whoever, or they are a secret fourth branch.

[Justin Amash @justinamash]

Justice Gorsuch is right. The Katz test and third-party doctrine have no basis in the Constitution.

The Fourth Amendment doesn’t rely on an “expectation of privacy”; it protects against warrantless—and thus unreasonable—searches and seizures.

Restore the Fourth. Get a warrant.

[Justin Amash @justinamash]

Warning! This is moving fast.

Congress is rushing the KIDS Act to expand the surveillance state under the guise of “protecting kids.”

Identity checks to use the internet.

Government monitoring and control of all Americans.

It’s coming if you don’t act now.

Tell Congress: No!

[Mike @GrayMatterMike]

KIDS Act mandates age verification for social media. Can't verify age without verifying identity. DOJ just subpoenaed WaPo + WSJ reporters. Once that database exists, they skip the journalist and go straight to the source.

Call it what it is: surveillance infrastructure wrapped in "think of the children."

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

Listen to Rick Scott talk tough about the Big Beautiful Bill a year ago and how he was a No vote because it didn’t balance the budget or even get close. He demanded spending cuts. What did he do? He caved like they always do, and now we have high inflation and interest rates.

[Mises Caucus @LPMisesCaucus]

Jury Nullification for this anti-surveillance patriot!

[The Redheaded libertarian @TRHLofficial]

Freezing rent is not about making renting affordable, it’s about making being a landlord so unviable that the government can seize the means of production.

[Mike Lee @BasedMikeLee]

Raise your hand if you’re grateful for the electoral college

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

@HouseGOP Simultaneously, nearly every Republican voted to increase spending by hundreds of billions with no plan to pay for it, which is why Americans are suffering rampant inflation today.

[Being Libertarian @beinlibertarian]

Rand Paul is setting up Trump and the GOP for an easy win with independent voters by pushing Fauci into the hot seat.

Covid accountability was a major issue for a lot of people.

The DOJ needs to prosecute him and take the pardon to the Supreme Court.

[Justin T. Haskins @JustinTHaskins]

America's government-run schools are one of the worst investments in history. No matter how much money we spend, the results don't improve.

We need a completely new approach to education.

[Glenn Beck @glennbeck]

Was it just me, or did Barack Obama seem very passive-aggressive while lecturing us on how the Founders "fell short?" And I love how he threw in that the Founders only let "white men who owned property" vote. Because it proves that he has NO IDEA what he's talking about.

The Founders didn't care about your gender. They cared if you had a stake in the game. If you owned property, you could vote, no matter your gender. Honestly, we should bring that logic back—if you aren't paying taxes, why should you get a vote on how everyone else's money is spent?
