MASSIE: Vote to make DOGE cuts law were CANCELED...

United States Congress ^ | May 8 | Rep. Thomas Massie

@RepThomasMassie

🚨This wasn’t widely covered in the news, so I will tell you:

Congress was scheduled to vote on rescissions THIS WEEK to cut the waste that DOGE found, but the votes were quietly canceled.

USAID and other programs like PBS and NPR were to be targeted.

[RandFan]

I wonder why they wont vote on it? Anyone?

Rand Paul is outraged. He reposted Massie's tweet and demanded a vote NOW...

[Fledermaus]

Because Republicans are useless cowards and greedy and thieves.

Screw them in 2026.

[Beowulf9]

Well good for Rand Paul. It’s like pulling teeth to get stuff done, conservative stuff that is.

[hillarys cankles]

You can’t hate these POS enough. Useless POS………..

I wonder why they wont vote on it? Anyone?

My guess is because members came to Johnson and told him he didn't have the votes to pass it. At least not bundled. Perhaps also because aspects of that vote may be inconsistent with the "big beautiful bill". Or at least, some members wanted to deal with the latter before the former.

[ComputerGuy]

Both Paul and Massie need some positive press right now.

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

And just to be clear, I support it. The more that is cut, the better. Just trying to be realistic in that there apparently are deep divisions over the "big, beautiful bill", and they probably didn't want to have two ugly battles at once.

We'll have a better idea as to the "why" when the reconciliation bill finally passes.

The only way to handle the “Moderate Republicans” aka RINO’s, is to relentlessly primary them.

If they aren’t for us, they are against us.

“I wonder why they wont vote on it? Anyone?”

Because Mike Johnson is Paul Ryan.

[Fledermaus]

I’m trying to. But it hurts my head.

Getting to the point my gamma radiation accident is going to turn me green.

[FreeReign]

Perhaps also because aspects of that vote may be inconsistent with the "big beautiful bill"

Or perhaps the opposite. Aspects of that vote may coincide with the Big Beautiful Bill.

They don't have the votes to pass it.

And they don't have the votes to pass it because many Republicans in Congress represent states and districts that are filled with white people on welfare.

[pepsi_junkie]

The GOP, folks.

They ran for YEARS on the promise to remove and replace Obamacare. Then when they had the chance to do it, they said 'we lied, deal with it' and moved on.

They ran for DECADES on the promise to make government smaller and now they have the chance they are saying 'dont even put it up for a vote, we dont want to go on the record again that it was all lies'.

[JayGalt]

Apparently this is fake news.
Johnson’s team says no vote was scheduled this week.
The claim stems largely from a statement by Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) on X, alleging Johnson quietly canceled a rescissions vote scheduled for early May 2025. However, Johnson’s press secretary, Athina Lawson, denied this, stating, “No votes on rescissions were ‘cancelled’ this week,” and affirmed Johnson’s commitment to cutting taxpayer-funded waste.

I hope it’s because they didn’t yet have the votes. The white people on welfare comment is, unfortunately, just too true.

[RandFan]

WHo do you believe

Massie affirms in comments and says basically ‘I should know I work here’

[RandFan]

Massie is a HONORABLE gentleman

[JayGalt]

I do not believe Massie. He is a player not a doer and this is one way he can virtue signal.

[blackdog]

Rope,tar, and feathers, of which there is plenty of feathers from all the chicken murders from regulatory agencies. They aren’t even imported, so they are free of tariffs. I’m not so sure rope is made in America anymore.

[JayGalt]

I know that belief is important to you no matter the facts of what he has accomplished, how he has voted and the effects of his grandstanding on America.
