@TWiT As a school tech support person and someone who cares about learning, I love when the panel talk about tech use in schools and with children. We went all in and now they are backing off with the lower grades. Too niche?
The Israeli lobby spent $30 million to beat me, but America won because an entire generation is now aware of their corrosive influence on our government. Every elected Republican in Congress is bought, captured, or intimidated by them to some degree. I am the last who is not.
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.
@RandPaul As a long time Paul supporter, you and your father, I'm very disappointed in you. Trump knows his goose is cooked and that's why he's been pushing the false narrative of voter fraud and the SAVE act. He's trying to make it more difficult for people to vote. Massie knows.
THOMAS MASSIE: “It’s ironic that we control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, & the White House -- and we're yelling 'election fraud'? We won all the damn elections.
What are we doing with that? We’re bankrupting the country. We’re starting new wars. We’re violating the Constitution. We’re not cracking down on the fraud. The problem is not the elections. We won the damn elections. The problem is that we’re wasting the opportunity voters gave us."
@RandPaul You did the right thing the first time, and the Senate actually got a little power back and then you let him bully you into giving him more power. That's not what we need when he's comparing himself to Napoleon and Genghis Khan.
@TaborTimeYT@FortniteStatus anyone ever seen a bug where you can't see other players? It happened during several matches. Solo, zero build. I'm guessing a bug, but I was blaming my old eyes.
This New York Times piece is worth your time. Here’s what is happening, as simply as I can put it.
Back in January, Trump sued the IRS, an agency he controls, demanding $10 billion over the leak of his tax returns a number of years ago.
IRS lawyers did their jobs. They wrote a memo laying out the defenses that could beat the suit, including the fact that Trump filed too late. His own lawyer was in court when the leaker pleaded guilty in October 2023, more than two years before Trump sued.
The Justice Department never showed up to court. Never argued back. Never used the defenses sitting on their desk.
The judge got suspicious and ordered both sides to explain whether they were actually opposing each other or just colluding. The day before that brief was due, Trump dropped the suit.
Same day, his Justice Department announced a $1.776 billion taxpayer-funded “anti-weaponization fund.”
Trump gets a formal apology. The IRS agrees to drop any audits of him and his family, even though a 2024 Times report found a loss in an ongoing audit could cost him over $100 million.
The acting Attorney General, Trump’s former criminal defense attorney, picks the five commissioners who decide who gets paid. Trump can fire any of them. Proud Boys and Oath Keepers are not ruled out.
This is the most corrupt thing I’ve ever seen from an American president.
Where in the hell are my Republican colleagues?

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: “If the legislative branch always votes with the President, then we do have a king.
If the legislative branch always votes whichever way the wind is blowing, then we have mob rule.
But if the legislative branch, and the representatives and the senators that serve with it, always follow the constitution,
WE HAVE A REPUBLIC!”
They loved Marjorie Taylor Greene, now they hate her.
They loved Thomas Massie, now they hate him.
They loved Lauren Boebert, now they hate her.
They made fun of Biden for nodding off ("Sleepy Joe), now they ignore Trump outright falling asleep.
They put "I Did That" Biden stickers on high gas prices, now they ignore gas prices being even higher.
They bragged about Trump being the no wars President, now they support war.
They bashed Biden for sending money to Ukraine, now they ignore Trump sending money to both Ukraine and Israel.
They demanded the Epstein files, now they bash anyone asking for the Epstein files.
To be a MAGA is to be a slave.
Not physically, but mentally.
They stand for nothing.
We're up against people who stand for nothing.
And with the most misplaced confidence you've ever seen, they try to tell us whats-what.
We shouldn't even acknowledge these people.
The Trump supporters that remain are mentally too far gone.
I don't even want to argue with them anymore.
@bennyjohnson That's the problem today with politics and people like @bennyjohnson it's all about their "team" no matter how their actions compare to their promises. Don't pick a team, vote for yourself, for your independence. Vote for your principles. You'll always win.
