Hey @Ford, Congress, and everyone else that needs to read this.
I am NOT buying any vehicle that will be monitoring me with a camera, and whatever other technology you decide to put in cars, while I am driving. I would rather drive a 1970 car with a carburetor.
And while we are at it, I am not giving you my retina scans, nor letting you test my breath, not even give you my fingerprints.
I am sure the vast majority of Americans feel this way.
Congress allowed this Orwellian mandate to become law. A group of us in the House tried to stop it.
Americans want freedom, not remote controls and mass surveillance.
We must move to repeal this mandate before 2027.
No matter where you stand politically, I think we can all come together and agree that putting spyware in our cars that watches what we do and can decide whether we’re even allowed to drive is a direct violation of our 4th amendment right and absolute tyranny.
When I saw this bill, my first thoughts were something like, 1) I'm becoming a mechanic and driving something pre-2027 for the rest of my life, 2) when they outlaw that, I'm taking up biking, and 3) when they start surveilling the bikes, I'm switching to running...
Then it hit me: I'm in zugzwang.
My only moves, if I'm to remain a law-abiding citizen, are to either 1) allow myself to be prison probed by the state 24/7/365, or 2) start living in self-imposed 15-minute city conditions.
I have a sudden urge to throw wooden crates into a harbor.
No American wants to be illegally spied on by their own government.
No American wants a kill switch in their car.
No American wants their Fourth Amendment infringed upon by the government.
Republicans would be wise to lean into this issue.
Aren��t we supposed to be the party of constitutional rights and limited government?
🚨 OMG. FBI Director Kash Patel just caught leftist NGO Southern Poverty Law Center fraudulently paying Ku Klux Klan and white supremacist groups to STAGE HATE CRIMES

I VOTED FOR THIS!
@MSidgwick I loved Andrade vs Bandido, and I'm glad the right person won in the main event, but the main event showed to me that I'm done with Texas Death matches and I hope I don't see another one for a long time.
Ticketmaster directors were caught bragging in internal messages about 'robbing [fans] blind'
The messages were recently unsealed as part of the company’s ongoing antitrust lawsuit.
"Jesus, these people are so stupid ... I have VIP parking up to $250. I almost feel bad taking advantage of them"
