This is the garden Carolyn and I are growing this year. She wanted to plant flowers and herbs in my vegetables. Rather than argue about how many vegetables that would displace, I expanded the garden by building another terrace with stones I found on the farm.
Sending American tax dollars to other countries is like watering the neighbor’s yard while your house is on fire. 🔥
Only 16% of Americans support arming Israel without restrictions. So what is Congress doing? Burying a provision in the defense bill that would give Israel more military integration than any NATO ally. We must strip Section 224 from the Pentagon budget.
84% of Americans, Bernie Sanders, and Thomas Massie agree. Don’t arm Israel unconditionally. Also, don’t merge our military technology and supply chains with Israel’s… or any other country’s. I’ve submitted an amendment to strip section 224 (retitled section 219) from the NDAA.
There are 2 ways this can get a vote! 1) 4 Democrats and 3 Republicans on Rules Committee take a stand. or 2) Any 6 Republicans in the whole House withhold their votes for “the Rule” next week unless this amdt is allowed a vote in that Rule. (Dems always vote no on the Rule)
Section 219 (was 224) of the NDAA contains a dangerous provision to integrate our military tech with Israel’s. @RepRoKhanna & I submitted an amendment to strike 219. I included the Rules Committee roster here; 7 of 13 members must agree in order for our amendment to get a vote.
$500 per vote. That’s what the Israeli lobby spent to beat me, and they still couldn’t do it with factual ads, or even fake ads based on policy. They ran with personal lies and AI videos to convince elderly voters I was sleeping with Ilhan Omar and AOC at the same time.
Republicans are in charge because we promised: to Make America Healthy Again. to start No New Wars, to put people above corporations, to put America above foreign countries, to release the Epstein files, to not spy on citizens, to eliminate fraud, what the hell happened?!
H.R. 9238 Failed - 198 Yes, 218 Nays
Thank goodness. Clean reauthorization of the unconstitutional FISA 702 program failed in the House. I’ll post the roll call when it’s available.
🚨Speaker Mike Johnson defended shredding the 4th Amendment and passing FISA warrantless surveillance after a top-secret briefing with the NSA, CIA, FBI, DNI and DOJ. Well, @RepThomasMassie was in the same SCIF as Speaker Johnson, and he's fed up with the lying. Massie says there was NOT ONE EXAMPLE spying on Americans without a warrant was able to prevent terrorism. It's all a scam. Shame on Republicans who fall for it. #SCIFGATE
Hopefully, @TPUSA is still opposed to warrantless spying. A vote to extend the unconstitutional FISA 702 program *without warrants* will likely happen today in the House. I’ll vote No.
Few things in Washington are more predictable than Congress renewing surveillance powers and promising to reform them later. I spoke on the House floor against the “temporary” clean reauthorization of the unconstitutional FISA 702 program.
Here we go again; the House is going to debate a clean reauthorization of the unconstitutional FISA 702 program tonight. This program is used to surveil Americans without a warrant. I’ll be joining the @cspan debate on the floor in the next hour… in opposition to this madness.
I'll be on @55krc's "Brian Thomas Morning Show" today at 8:05 AM ET. Tune in!
I didn’t realize this would be posted, but I’m glad it was. Two hours before I gave my speech honoring the brave sailors on the USS Liberty, I met with about a dozen of them in my office and asked how I could best represent them and those who had perished.
Thank you to the survivors of the USS Liberty for traveling to Washington DC on the 59th anniversary of the attack. Your courage to express the facts is the reason the tragedy of the USS Liberty will not be forgotten. It was an honor to host you and to speak on your behalf.
59 years ago today, Israel attacked the USS Liberty in international waters. 34 crew members were killed and 174 were wounded by the IDF. Today, I spoke on the House floor to honor the fallen and to recognize the survivors who were present in the gallery.
If that link doesn’t work, try this one:
At approximately 12PM ET today, I’ll be speaking on the House floor to honor and memorialize the brave crew of the USS Liberty. Many survivors of the attack will be here watching my speech live from the House gallery. You can watch live as well: https://t.co/ja2Mm9Qqs1
FISA 702 is the authority for surveillance on foreign soil—the core of all US security. A libertarian demand to make SecWar get approval from liberal DC judges (the ones who targeted Trump) is madness. No conservative aim is ever served through subservience to leftist DC judges.

About 4 pounds of fresh home-grown organic broccoli, packaged as ten dinners for two people. Better than money in the bank.
Putting up a few pounds of broccoli from the garden today. Cut, soak, steam blanch, ice bath, shake off the water, flash freeze, bag, and put in the freezer with the last batch of meat chickens, last year’s peaches, and strategic raw milk reserves).
HR4332 was the 1986 bill that banned the manufacture of machine guns for civilians. It’s also the name of a series of Uzi submachine guns hastily registered by Group Industries of Louisville, KY just before the ban went into effect. Here’s one in the KY Military Museum.
Pentagon Sees Growing Espionage Threat From Israel: The Defense Department has increased the counterintelligence threat assessment to its highest level, and Israel is believed to have eavesdropped on American negotiations with Iran.
Today, we honor the Allied troops whose courage on D-Day helped shape the outcome of World War II. May their service and sacrifice never be forgotten.
On June 8, 2026, I’ll speak on the floor of the House to honor and memorialize the brave crew of the 🇺🇸 USS Liberty who died and were wounded in an unprovoked attack by 🇮🇱 Israel on June 8, 1967. Catch my speech on @cspan.
I will deliver this speech Monday at approximately noon. I’m honored to report that some survivors have already indicated they will attend as my guests in the gallery. If you’re a survivor and would like to attend, please contact my office, or talk with leaders in your group.
From the article: “[sect. 224 of the NDAA is] not an alliance with a talented and responsible ally that will help keep the US safe, but a trap being set by Israel and its lobby to bind our country to a state that, for all its past promise, has gone rogue.”
I just voted against the Ukraine Support Act tonight. It sends over $9 billion of your dollars overseas, and includes $250 million for Radio Free Europe, a Cold War relic that benefits no American. https://t.co/BVmVFajN9I
“We are not at war” Orwellian levels of double speak.
Over three months later, we are still at war.
Republicans are passing a temporary rule change that will force us to vote on legislation the same day it’s introduced. This shell game allows the Senate to jam the House with a spending bill that’s not even settled. I support border security, but not this bastardized process.
I'll be joining @natalimorris on @RedactedNews today at 4:25 PM ET to discuss the War Powers Resolution. Tune in!

.@RepThomasMassie & I achieved the two most consequential victories of Trump's 2nd term. The Epstein Transparency Act exposed the cover up for sexual abuse. Our Iran WPR, introduced months ago, led to passage last night. Bipartisanship for the people, not the establishment.
for the people, not the parties!
Congress has the exclusive authority under the Constitution to declare war and authorize the use of force. The War Powers Act of 1973 delegates some of that authority to the president for a limited period of time. That authority has expired, and my support of this resolution tonight is consistent with my belief that it is time for Congress to decide the scope of the mission and the appropriate limits on the use of force in Iran.
Thank you @RepTomBarrett for respecting the Constitution.
The Iran War Powers Resolution that I cosponsored (opposing the war) just passed the House of Representatives. The People’s House is sending a message: end this war.
Full bill text: https://t.co/GzJTHTBlk4 Cosponsors:
Israel has used American-supplied munitions to kill tens of thousands of innocent civilians. America is morally obligated to end support of Israel’s devastation of Gaza and its people. I’m cosponsoring the Block the Bombs Act to limit the transfer of offensive weapons to Israel.
No one should have to beg the government to exercise a constitutionally protected right anywhere in the country. Thank you @RepShreve for cosponsoring HR 645, the National Constitutional Carry Act.
"Over the past few months, the [Republican Jewish Coalition] spent more than $5M to defeat Thomas Massie." "When someone…refuses to stand with the Jewish state when it matters most, there has to be consequences!" RJC CEO Matt Brooks celebrates the ouster of @RepThomasMassie.
Matt Brooks bragging that the Republican Jewish Coalition spent millions to buy a congressional seat in Kentucky… but if you observe the same thing, you’re antisemitic.
I’m flattered, but imagine the horror if I were to be elected as the tax assessor in Orange County, California!
"You're f****** crazy. You'd be in prison if it weren't for me. I'm saving your a***. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this." That's what a U.S. official tells Axios President Trump unloaded on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a heated phone call over Israel's military actions in Lebanon. Trump was reportedly furious that Israel's moves risked blowing up U.S. diplomatic efforts in the region, at one point also asking Netanyahu: "What the f*** are you doing?"
It’s all talk. Just withhold foreign aid to Israel for a month and they’ll stop bombing their neighbors - instant peace, the Strait of Hormuz can be opened, and gas drops $2 a gallon. Israel has been, and continues to be, the biggest welfare recipient from American tax payers.
The more Netanyahu prevents the war with Iran from ending, the more obvious it becomes that he convinced Trump to start it.
MEGYN KELLY: “What’s core MAGA now?” SHAWN RYAN: “I have no idea. Pedophiles Supporting Israeli Lobby?” Touché.
What’s MAGA now?
There’s a disturbing trend in Congress to grant immunity from state civil lawsuits to various products such as pharmaceuticals, data centers & pesticides. I think this violates the 7th Amdt, but ironically the 7th is the only enumerated right not yet incorporated to the states.
This is the dumbest possible take on this. Another antisemitic grift from the Costa Rica Kid. This security agreement will allow for the US to leverage advanced Israeli technologies. Don’t you have some Epstein names to release Pedo Protector?
My colleague’s thoughts from Wisconsin:
If the provision in the NDAA to integrate/synchronize the U.S. and Israeli militaries (section 224) makes it out of committee, I’ll offer an amendment to strip it from the bill on the floor. We are a sovereign country. https://t.co/HwvSXXxKlW
Although virtually all Republicans eventually admitted by their votes that it was right to release the Epstein files, only three were brave enough to sign my discharge petition to force that vote. Boebert, Greene, and Mace have paid an enormous price for doing the right thing.
What Massie’s loss means for America 1st & why I’m optimistic about the future of our movement. We can save our Republic if we can build a broad populist movement against more wars & foreign influence:
Thank you @joekent16jan19. There’s an organized effort to rewrite the history of my race, but as long as people understand what really happened in the most expensive congressional primary ever, and younger voters stay energized, we will save our country.
