@RepThomasMassie
Though my amendment to strike $3.3 billion in aid to Israel from the State Dept Approps bill did not pass, 104 House Members voted in favor of it. The tide is changing.
Americans want their tax dollars to be spent improving things here at home, not waging war and genocide.

…As if he gives a crap about the homeless or homeless vets. He is more interested in his own foreign lobbyist financiers… who definitely have no love for US military vets.
(We are also spending more on financing illegals than we are on homeless vets.)
Most homeless vets got that way through substance abuse, some in trying to deal with PTSD, but others just ordinary addiction as happens in the civilian community. Those drugs are supplied by narcoterrorists, some with ties to Hezbollah.
Killing Hezbollah reduces the number of drug cartel operatives.
Who is good at killing Hezbollah?
send Sanders, Schumer and all the other left wing Jewish Politians to Gaza.
Of cats and goats... We spend more money on the US Navy than we spend on protecting endangered owls!!!
Yes, but not because of Massie
LMAO
That’s a stupid. What’s one got to do with the other? Stinking strawman. You don’t want to give aid to Israel? State it and make your case. Not happy on homeless vet support? Say it and make your case. This unprincipled behavior is typical from the Democrats, don’t drag us down with the same dishonest tactic.
And before anyone gets into high dudgeon: Matthew 5:37.
Yep. Like too many Republicans, unfortunately
The naivety/gullibility/credulousness is off the charts.
Well, an obsession with Israel is certainly showing. But how can this factual data be unknown if you both know …and continually post about it?
It is great that this ass will be gone in January.

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4367527/posts (Massie) admitted in a recent interview that he once offered Republican leaders his vote IN EXCHANGE for a public expression of gratitude for his role in forcing the disclosure of the federal government’s Jeffrey Epstein files.
https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4367330/posts Massie’s vote was contingent on whether or not Speaker Mike Johnson would publicly praise him for releasing the Epstein files. “This is a literal quote from Thomas Massie’s interview with Politico. “Praise me publicly and I’ll vote the way you want.”

Lone Republican becomes only lawmaker to vote against crackdown on human organ trafficking (Massie)
A bill aimed at cracking down on the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its practice of forced organ harvesting passed with overwhelming support on Wednesday – though one House lawmaker voted against it.
Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., was the lone Republican to oppose the Stop Forced Organ Harvesting Act, which passed 406-1.
“It’s just another example of us trying to stick our nose in another country’s business and write their laws,” Massie told Fox News Digital after the vote. “And at the end of the day, they’re gonna do what they’re gonna do, and it’s just sort of a virtue signal over here.”
...
But his pushback is also notable now given his status as an open critic of Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and at times, of President Donald Trump.
The bill was introduced by Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., and would authorize the Secretary of State to deny U.S. passports and visitor visas to people involved in organ trafficking circles.
It would also call for sanctions on entities and individuals found to have participated in the gruesome illicit industry.

‘Mofo...in the White House’: Jasmine Crockett attacks Trump, praises Massie in anti-Iran strike rant
‘There’s only one Republican that I know I can count on for sure doing the right thing,’ Rep Crockett says in a new video
Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, launched another tirade against President Donald Trump over the weekend, while offering rare praise for one of her House GOP colleagues who is currently at odds with the commander in chief.
The Democratic firebrand took to Instagram Live late Saturday to criticize Trump’s strikes on Iran, while giving a “shout out” to Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., over his bipartisan resolution to rein in the president’s ability to conduct such operations.
“So long story short, for those of you that are unaware, the mofo that resides in the White House has unilaterally, in my estimation, declared war,” Crockett said in the video.

Massie bucks GOP leadership again on Adam Schiff censure vote, draws conservative ire
Conservatives are conveying anger with northern Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie over his vote to oppose a resolution censuring California Rep. Adam Schiff, a favorite boogeyman of Republicans. Massie joined 19 other House Republicans in defecting from party leadership from condemning Schiff for championing the investigatory onslaught against former President Donald Trump. Combined with unanimous Democratic opposition, the measure failed, surprising even Schiff. The libertarian-leaning Massie claimed the resolution was unconstitutional for a clause that instructed Schiff should be fined $16 million if the House Ethics Committee found he “lied, made representations and abused sensitive information.” “Allowing a majority of Congress to take $16 million (92 years of pay) from any member of Congress is shortsighted,” Massie tweeted again of the Wednesday evening vote. “Can we not imagine a time when this precedent would be used against conservatives? Fortunately it failed.” Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, a Florida freshman, said Massie was “making misrepresentations about the bill” she authored. A band of pro-Trump political figures went even further, casting doubts about Massie’s reasoning and calling for his defeat. Massie has endorsed Trump rival, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. “Not only is he being duplicitous, partisan and moronic about his choice – he’s straight up lying about the Constitution to achieve his political end goals. Sick,” wrote Raheem Kassam, a British political activist and editor in chief of The National Pulse.

This asshole was just on MS now, poo poing voter fraud, and yucking it uo with leftist scum.
Perhaps Massie could provide a list of all nations that receive foreign aid from the US and how much. Guaranteed we are sending more money to nations and people who hate us than to Israel. Incidentally, the money going to Israel is primarily in the form of loans that are paid back as opposed to direct ‘aid’.
Massie and his democrat colleagues had four years to help homeless veterans. The record speaks for itself.
His claim is meaningless because the comparison is absurd. I know quite a few Veterans and none of them are homeless, not saying there aren’t homeless vets, but exactly how many are there? What has been spent on them to help them? Is lack of funds the issue? Or are those homeless typically so because they have other issues such as addiction or mental illness and refuse the help offered.
Has Massie ever proposed a law that increased funding for helping homeless vets? Or is he really just attacking Israel and homeless vets was a convenient virtue signaling talking point that he in reality doesn’t give a rats ass about.
For same reason that the French funded our revolution against the Brits.
He can say all he wants, but unless he’s got factual proof to present to Congress, and the American people that we’re sending more money to Israel than we’re spending on Veterans, then he’s just bloviating as usual. How much money has he donated to Homeless Veterans? Got any idea of that?
The USA negotiated a peace treaty between Israel and Egypt in 1982.
Israel returned the Sinai Peninsula to Egypt. I think Egypt gave up control of the Gaza Strip - now ruled by the Hamas terrorist organization.
The USA offered to pay each country a certain amount of money - $3.3 billion in 2026 - each year, if they maintained the peace.
44 years later, the peace is still holding.
Not.
France assisted the newborn UnitdStates in strategic coordination with their eternal war with England,
and they would be paid back.
As opposed to recent (many decades) US Government policy of spreading US taxpayer money over the globe like so much Halloween candy ..
