Yesterday @RepThomasMassie officially endorsed the #DefendTheGuard Act.
This bill would prohibit the deployment of a state’s National Guard units into active combat without a declaration of war by Congress, as required by Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution.
Rep. Massie is the third sitting member of Congress to endorse this legislation, following @RandPaul and @RepGosar.
Our team of veterans at #BringOurTroopsHome has successfully organized the introduction of Defend the Guard bills in 24 states—in March, our bill passed the Arizona Senate with unanimous Republican support.
Special thanks to @TRHLofficial who hosted the Twitter space where this audio was clipped from, and to @MLiamMcCollum for asking the question.
Read Rep. Massie’s full statement and listen to the audio below:
“I have heard of it, and I love it. I've heard from some states, I actually had a legislator, a state senator, call me. One of the problems he said they have with passing this legislation is they get it to the floor [and] that some general will come in and testify and lobby in his uniform and intimidate the legislators. And then they'll say, 'Oh your Guard won't get as much money in your state if you do that. And we'll shut down this military contractor here,' and they go around, and not everybody falls for it, but a lot of them do. In fact, my Chief of Staff, Matt Gurtler, was a former Georgia state legislator. And he says they did that to them in Georgia. They tried to do it to him; I'm sure he didn't go for the pressure campaign. So, the question this state senator had for me is there any way I can help? And there may be some way, where we can bring this up in a hearing or something, or send a letter to [the] military, kind of brush them back from this pressure campaign where they threaten—maybe not explicitly but implicitly—and then scare all the state legislators against voting for it. But I love the legislation.”
We must not allow generals to bully or intimidate the people’s representatives from following the law! We will end our unconstitutional endless wars.
Thank you for your support Thomas Massie! 🇺🇸
I cannot believe that my opponent @katy4congress is bragging about getting max-out donations from the Gates family.
If I was her, you couldn’t have waterboarded this out of me 😂
Just in case it wasn’t clear who the globalist funded open borders candidate in this race is…
Rep Eli Crane asks the new ATF director, Mr. Cekada, about the case of Patrick Tate Adamiak who was wrongfully convicted of owning items he literally (not figuratively...) didn't own.
Mr. Cekada confirms the ATF & DOJ are looking into the case.
As I said in my last video on the topic, I've known this to be the case for some time but the fact that current administration officials are confirming this on the record now is a very good sign.
It's progress but the fight for actual justice in this case is far from over and as I post this Tate is still sitting in a cement cage for no reason at all outside of the Biden administration wanting to "make an example" out of him.
Let's keep the pressure up and get this young man released 🦅

When the DOJ defends unconstitutional gun regulations and the ATF is weaponized against Americans, the government has betrayed its founding purpose.
That’s why the FY27 CJS appropriations bill defunds and repeals ALL Biden-era gun control.
States which deny the right to bear arms are infringing on a fundamental constitutional right. That is ILLEGAL!
At @TheJusticeDept, @CivilRights will continue to uphold the natural rights of all Americans, including the right to bear arms.
