Bernie Sanders continues his ignorant Zero-sum fallacy. Musk's value creation isn't theft from thebottom 53%. Fed inflation & regs cause 60% paycheck struggles.
Bernie Sanders: “60% of our people living paycheck-to-paycheck, and one guy, Elon Musk, owns more wealth than the bottom 53% of American households... Think maybe that might be an issue that we should be talking about?"

Massie has been a consistent "no" vote on massive omnibus spending bills, emergency "relief" packages that balloon deficits, and big-ticket items that increase borrowing — even when they come from Republican leadership or Trump-backed proposals. He famously wore a mini "debt clock" lapel pin and has criticized unchecked spending as bankrupting America and fueling inflation.

Massie consistently votes against unconditional foreign aid packages (Ukraine, Israel, etc.), military interventions without congressional approval, and entanglements that drain U.S. resources. He criticized Trump's Iran strikes as unconstitutional and "not America First," pushed War Powers resolutions to restrain unauthorized military action, and called for ending all foreign aid to stop funding other countries' wars.

Massie led the successful push to force a vote requiring the Justice Department to release Jeffrey Epstein-related files, spotlighting the protection of powerful figures. He frames this as holding the swamp accountable, regardless of party.

Massie repeatedly emphasizes that Congress (not the president) controls war powers, spending, and policy — famously saying, "A congressman, unlike a soldier, does not work for the commander in chief." He votes against bills that expand federal power or bypass constitutional checks.

Peter Navarro has been a fool for decades, and it's been sad to see Trump & Co. heed his words.
Peter Navarro promised $700 billion in tariff revenue. The actual amount was about $240 billion. Read more: reason.pub/4sSw5ui

The Nutritious SNAP Act is a common-sense step to improve public health, protect taxpayer dollars, and empower states to make their own decisions in the fight against chronic disease. paul.senate.gov/dr-rand-paul…
I’ve introduced the Nutritious SNAP Act. It prohibits SNAP funds from being used to buy junk food because subsidized groceries should support health & wellness, not chronic disease. So far, not a single Democrat has co-sponsored the bill. reviewjournal.com/opinion/ed…

Trump's tough talk on Iran: 48-hour ultimatum to reopen Hormuz or "obliterate" power plants... then extends it by 5 days after more strikes & casualties. Big threats, zero follow-through. Classic Trump: all bluster, no backbone. Weak leadership costs lives & spikes oil to $110+. #IranWar

Massie voted for Trump's 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, supports border security, opposes certain regulations, and aligns with many domestic conservative issues. He votes with Trump ~91% of the time overall.

💢 Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps: “We are determined to respond to any threat to the same extent, such that it creates deterrence.” 📌 Statement: 🔹 “The lying, terrorist, and child-killing president of the United States has claimed that the IRGC intends to target desalination plants in the region and cause hardship for the people of regional countries. 🔹 First, it is the aggressive and anti-human U.S. army that began this war by killing children, including the deaths of 180 elementary school children, and has so far targeted five water infrastructure sites, including the desalination facility on Qeshm Island. The IRGC has not carried out such actions. 🔹 Second, it is this terrorist and child-killing U.S. president who has threatened to attack Iran’s power plants. It is obvious that attacking electricity infrastructure would disrupt essential services such as hospitals, emergency centers, water networks, and desalination plants, which is inhumane. What we have done is announce our decision: if Iran’s power plants are attacked, Iran will retaliate by targeting the power plants of the occupying entity (Israel), as well as those of regional countries that supply electricity to U.S. bases, along with economic, industrial, and energy infrastructure in which Americans have stakes. Do not doubt that we will do this. 🔹 You struck our hospitals, we did not do the same. You struck our emergency centers, we did not do the same. You struck our schools, we did not do the same. But if you strike electricity, we will strike electricity. 🔹 We are determined to respond to any threat at the same level necessary to establish deterrence, and we will do so. The United States does not know our capabilities and will see them on the battlefield.” “And victory is only from God, the Almighty, the Wise.”

💯: FCC can't threaten licenses for Iran war criticism. 1A has no wartime exception!
'Completely intolerable and indefensible.' Me on @BrendanCarrFCC's attack on critical media coverage of Iran war. For @reason
