I will deliver this speech Monday at approximately noon. I’m honored to report that some survivors have already indicated they will attend as my guests in the gallery. If you’re a survivor and would like to attend, please contact my office, or talk with leaders in your group.
I am thinking about putting together an amazing liberty themed group cruise. It's 18+ with a lot of inclusions and opportunities for private events onboard. If this is something that interests you, like this or otherwise let me know.
Not all legislation is the same.
Apparently political influencers and news anchors do not know the basics.
Crash course 🏫
In the House, a Member can introduce the following legislative vehicles:
1.) H.R. = House Bill
An H.R. has legal effect if enacted into law. This is what most policy and appropriations legislation falls under. It is bicameral (must pass the House and Senate) and must be presented to the President to be made into law.
(The Senate version is S.)
2.) H.Res. = House Resolution
This is typically a sense of the House, an opinion of the House of Representatives specifically. It is also used for items affecting only the operations of the House. It is only voted on in the House. It is also the vehicle used for special rules, impeachments, contempt of Congress, censures, and similar items.
(The Senate version is S.Res.)
3.) H.Con.Res. = House Concurrent Resolution
This is also typically a sense of Congress, though this version is bicameral, making it an opinion shared by the House and Senate. It is also used for matters affecting both chambers of Congress. Other applications of this vehicle is include congressional budget resolutions and War Powers Resolutions. The WPR application is unique as its use through this vehicle arguably has the legal effect of remove armed forces from hostilities. That said, its use for this purpose is codified in law - opening a constitutional question should a WPR Concurrent Resolution ever be successful.
(The Senate version is S.Con.Res., meaning the bicameral item originates in the Senate and, if agreed to, is voted on in the House.)
4.) H.J.Res. = House Joint Resolution
An H.J.Res. can be used for items with legal effect because as it is bicameral and is presented to the President. These are typically used for short-term or ad hoc changes to law; continuing appropriations; Congressional Review Act resolutions overturning federal agency rules; terminating national emergencies; and again, War Powers measures.
A constitutional amendment is also proposed through a joint resolution, though in that case, it is not presented to the President and instead must be ratified by the states.
(The Senate version is S.J.Res.)
It took some time but we are finally part of the @Tesla family! We love the Model 3 in Quicksilver.
We named it QuikSilv3r. Probably not unique but I loved the play on Model 3 and the color. 🤓
Shoutout to Landon and the team at the Fort Myers store for making the experience awesome and way too easy.
I still haven’t recovered from you debating @Jim_Jordan on FISA reauthorization where Jim was demanding passing it clean with no warrants! And you were defending his long standing position FOR WARRANTS.
So of course it makes sense Judiciary will now be used as a tool for Israel.

Memorial Day is not about a long weekend. It is about the brave Americans who never came home—the men and women who gave their lives for our freedom and liberty. May we remember them with gratitude, humility, and a commitment to live worthy of their sacrifice. 🇺🇸
When the swamp and Epstein class couldn’t buy my vote, they bought the most expensive congressional seat ever.
I joined @MeetThePress this morning to talk about putting people & principles over parties.
I’m optimistic because the younger generation understands what’s going on.
“The price is my re-election.” — @RepThomasMassie
“It’s so sick and twisted. The reason they [Republicans] are doing it [agree privately] is because they’re terrified of President Trump’s political machine.”
Society has been trapped in a “fear everything” mindset. People stay silent publicly while agreeing privately because they’re afraid to speak out.
Fear keeps people silent.

I wish there were some way to put a good spin on the loss of Thomas Massie, a true Thomas Jefferson of our time. It's tragic. Something doesn't make sense.
