Liability for damage from the prescribed use of a product is an essential market feedback mechanism that improves safety. Shielding producers from such liability cripples safety incentives.

End all vaccine manufacturer liability shields.

We’re debating the Iran War Powers Resolution I co-authored with @RepRoKhanna.

Under our Constitution, the power to initiate war rests solely with Congress.

Congress owes our service members a clearly defined mission, so that when they accomplish it, they can come home.

The administration admits 🇮🇱 dragged us into the 🇮🇷 war that’s already cost too many American lives and billions of dollars. Before it’s over, the price of gas, groceries, and virtually everything else is going to go up. The only winners in 🇺🇸 are defense company shareholders.

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?”

The Epstein case is the perfect encapsulation of the State's nature: a child sex trafficking op used by spies to control political elites gets covered up to preserve the system.

"If one can only appeal to the State for justice, justice will be perverted in the favor of the State; constitutions and supreme courts notwithstanding."
Hans-Hermann Hoppe

It's hard to think of a better way to convince We the American People that we're ruled by pedophiles, as well as keep us interested in (and increasingly angry about) the Epstein case, than this.

🇺🇸 REP. MASSIE ON EPSTEIN: "IF ONE OF THE BILLIONAIRE DONORS WENT TO RAPE ISLAND - THEY NEED TO GO TO PRISON"

"Don't let the Senate muck this bill up.

And if you are, if you're a party to that in the Senate, you are part of this cover-up that we are trying to expose.

I am sorry if one of your billionaire donors is going to get embarrassed because he went to rape island.

Some of them will be embarrassed.

But some of them need to go to prison.

And the survivors know that."

I submitted 2 amendments to the CR/minibus to fix onerous provisions in it. The rules committee allowed neither to get a vote.

One amdt mirrored @SenRandPaul’s effort to remove the hemp ban that will devastate the industry. The other would reinstate Congressional budget rules.

[Mila Joy @Milajoy]

Maybe Rand Paul was right.

THE Senate just passed a CR that bans most hemp products & overrides 23 state laws.

Sen. Rand Paul fought it: “Every hemp plant in America will be destroyed.” His amendment failed 76-24.

If the House passes this (vote possibly tomorrow), the $28B industry dies in 2026.

Farmers, small businesses, 300K jobs—gone.

Call your Rep.

Stop the hemp ban.

[Savannah Maddox @SavannahLMaddox]

As a member of the Kentucky General Assembly who worked directly on the legislation that established our commonwealth’s hemp regulatory framework, I am deeply disappointed to see Congress attempting to undo years of careful, bipartisan work to build a responsible hemp market in Kentucky.

For the past several years, our commonwealth has led the nation in crafting sensible policies that protect consumers and support Kentucky farmers. We put in place strict testing, labeling, and packaging requirements. We established age limits and product safety standards. We listened to parents, law enforcement, and small business owners and we struck a balance between market access and public safety.

Now, the U.S. House of Representatives is considering legislation that would disregard all that progress to take us back to prohibition—a policy that is proven not to work.

By working to criminalize Kentucky-grown and regulated hemp products, Congress is not protecting children. They are punishing farmers, entrepreneurs, and consumers who have played by the rules. This move represents the worst kind of Washington overreach, a top-down, one-size-fits-all mandate that erases the work of state leaders who have already addressed their own issues.

Kentucky’s hemp farmers trusted our federal delegation when they championed the 2018 Farm Bill. They invested their livelihoods in this industry. Our state legislature took that foundation and built a successful regulatory model that has been implemented by other states.

I am grateful for the courageous effort that Senator Rand Paul put forth to try to remove these problematic provisions in the Senate. Likewise, Congressman Thomas Massie has always been a strong advocate for the Hemp Industry, having filed the Industrial Hemp Farming Act dating back to 2013.

We’ve come so far and it would be an egregious mistake to destroy the progress. I urge Congress to withdraw this misguided language, meet with the farmers and small business owners they’re putting at risk, and work with the states— not against them— to build the clear, consistent federal standards this industry deserves.

Kentucky got hemp right. Washington shouldn’t be trying to ruin it.

[Senator Rand Paul @SenRandPaul]

The hemp provision in this appropriations package wipes out nearly 100% of legal hemp products overnight: killing jobs, crushing farmers, and overriding 23 state laws that already regulate hemp responsibly.

Our farmers have turned to hemp as a lifeline when fertilizer, fuel, and equipment costs skyrocketed and crop prices fell. Instead of working with us to crack down on bad actors and synthetic cannabinoids, some in Congress chose prohibition.

Kentucky jobs are not collateral. Our farmers are not bargaining chips.

America is waking up today to learn that Capitol Police turned CIA orchestrated the pipe bombs on January 6th, and the FBI has covered it up for over fours years. I questioned FBI Dir. Wray, ATF Dir. Dettlebach, and FBI asst Dir. (over DC) D’Antuono under oath. All played dumb.

[Thomas Massie for Congress @MassieforKY]

I tell it like it is. Here’s a group of lobbyists in DC who sell out farmers while pretending to support them. @BeefUSA supports electronic tags on livestock, opposes country of origin labeling, is against checkoff reform, & won’t lift a finger to help farmers sell beef locally.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

Four corporations control 85% of meat sold in the U.S. Two are owned by China & Brazil.

Farmers are being squeezed and consumers are being gouged.

The answer is NOT to flood the market with foreign meat.

We can solve this by passing my PRIME Act. Watch:https://t.co/OGTJ22GvWF
