WASHINGTON — The House Thursday passed four appropriations bills to fund the government and avert a partial shutdown, but Democrats largely objected to spending on the Department of Homeland Security amid aggressive immigration enforcement in communities across the country.
...
Democrats who joined Republicans in voting for the Homeland Security bill included Reps. Jared Gold of Maine, Henry Cuellar of Texas, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington state, Tom Suozzi of New York, Don Davis of North Carolina, Laura Gillen of New York and Vicente Gonzalez of Texas.
Republican Thomas Massie of Kentucky voted against the DHS funding bill.

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.
For those here who ask “What does zpresident Trump have against conservative Massie?”

‘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.
Assie is, well, that.

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.

Because he votes like a Democrat?
Paul and Massie.
Both Bums.
Libertarians are generally pro open borders and White replacement so it’s not too surprising.
To Massie, millions of people have their green card or long term visa and guess what? They are left alone by ICE.
And they think this pos will be reelected?
His worst vote was what is highlighted in post #2 above. His explanation wasn’t even that there was a provision in the bill he took issue with and therefore why he was voting against it - he literally said it was because organ harvesting was none of our business / we were being nosy by not wanting to have these people entering our territory or doing business with them.
If that isn’t messed up, I don’t know what is.
Libertarians don’t believe in borders.
The GOP need to pick up some seats and send this loon back to irrelevance.
The President messed up by making personal remarks about his wife, marriage, etc. The local media has been fawning over him doing puff pieces as a result. Prior to that it appeared he was toast given his approval rating among Republican primary voters was 28%. But that revived him with loads of positive press coverage.
Honestly the ads running against him should focus on is vote in post #2 above. That is messed up and indefensible.
Massie is a MAVERICK
“Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., was the lone Republican to oppose the Stop Forced Organ Harvesting Act, which passed 406-1.””
I like the way you think.
Because opposing something that barbaric is us just being “nosy”
