@SenFettermanPA It’s a loss leader. Price will go up. I’m guessing SNAP recipients will be exempt from a warehouse club membership or the companies will get pressured to offer a huge discount on a membership?

SNAP to include HOT ROTISSERIE CHICKEN. 384-35! Doesn’t only include my crew’s favorite + affordable $4.99 Costco rotisserie 😜 — but ANY hot rotisserie. Feeding families: a (rotisserie) chicken in every pot. 🇺🇸

@GasBuddyGuy And the dumbasses in Illinois still won’t pause one of the highest gas taxes in the nation.

Retailers are underwater- look for: Michigan $4.49-$4.69/gal Indiana $4.29-$4.59/gal Illinois $4.69-$4.99/gal (Chicago) Ohio $4.39-$4.59/gal Wisconsin $4.19-$4.39/gal Maybe not today because prices cycled yesterday but in the next 48 hours…
Patrick De Haan@GasBuddyGuy

⚠️ALERT: Great Lakes states- MI, IN, IL, WI, OH could see a double spike week as continued refinery challenges in the region has caused a large surge in wholesale gas prices, which are now ~40c/gal above their early April level.

FISA Section 702 is supposed to be for gathering intelligence on foreigners located abroad. But it has been used and abused for spying on Americans right here at home—including protesters, journalists, and even women on dating apps and rental tenants. Reform 702 now.

Breaking: Ed Gallrein (Thomas Massie’s opponent) has received government benefits for claiming to be 100% physically disabled, while also claiming to do demanding full-time farm work on his family’s operation. Gallrein received two PPP loans during COVID, including one used to pay himself for farm work. His campaign frequently shares photos and stories highlighting his supposed active involvement in farm labor. On the Bill Cunningham Show, he cited “farm work to do” as the reason for skipping a debate with Massie. Real full-time farm work is physically demanding and inconsistent with what most people would expect from someone receiving full disability benefits. This raises serious questions about consistency, transparency, and accountability—especially amid growing scrutiny of disability and Medicaid fraud nationwide. If elected to Congress, how does Mr. Gallrein plan to address these issues? My initial documentation includes an affidavit signed by Gallrein stating he is 100% disabled and qualifying for special property tax rates. I submitted the following questions to the Gallrein campaign: - Given that farm work is physically demanding, I would like to understand the nature of Mr. Gallrein’s disability. Is it physical, mental, or both? - If the disability is physical, how is Mr. Gallrein able to perform the demanding tasks associated with operating a farm? Alternatively, has the campaign overstated his day-to-day involvement in farm operations? - If the 100% disability rating stems from a mental health condition, how would this affect his ability to serve effectively in Congress? Members of Congress routinely face high-pressure situations, intense media scrutiny, and debates. Would such a condition impact his capacity to represent constituents under these circumstances? - Has Mr. Gallrein’s disability played a role in his decision to cancel appearances at several Lincoln Day dinners? Has it also factored into the campaign’s decision not to participate in a debate or forum with Congressman Massie? The campaign responded that his rating is “100% physical—physical only,” but that he works the farm anyway “because in Kentucky, that’s what you do when there’s work to be done.” This response still leaves important questions unanswered about how a 100% physical disability squares with the manual labor he publicly claims to perform.

@RepNikkiB You also refused to protect us from the auto kill switch mandate, and voted for FISA. Why do you hate your constituents?

@JThomasson6 @ImGinnyRobinson I’m so cynical now that I think the stupid thing will be built no matter what and if Rand is trying to force it to be “privately” funded it’s as good as we can get.

@RepNikkiB was among those that must love Orwellian kill switches, if anybody in #IL13 was paying attention or cares. She voted against this amendment. Would @WilsonforIL13 have voted any differently? He needs to go on record about it.
Thomas Massie@RepThomasMassie

Automobile kill-switches are coming soon to car dealerships near you. I teamed up w/ Scott Perry & Chip Roy to defund this Orwellian mandate, but too many colleagues (Republican & Democrat) voted against us, so the federal mandate for every new car after 2026 is still in place.

@bdillydally1 @KYCooperrider So, MTG is a fraud, based on your own posts, for taking a PPP loan but Ed, who also took one and misrepresented his health to get disability isn't?

@keith_dorschner @RepThomasMassie @EVASrebecca Look at this dude. He trusts telematics that are lucky if they can do basic stuff without crashing or glitching. And he wants to put them in control of whether a car will work or not. Absolutely no way this can have any unintended consequences.

@RepThomasMassie @EVASrebecca Is it really bad to get drunk drivers off the roads? They kill thousands of people every year! All drunks should buy a self driving Tesla. The car will see you drunk and it’ll drive you home safer than any human driver. This is bad? WTF is wrong with you?

Thomas Massie@RepThomasMassie

Federal law says new cars after 2026 must monitor drivers and shut down if the car disapproves. Your dashboard should not be judge, jury, and executioner. @RepScottPerry @RepChipRoy offered an amendment to defund the automobile kill switch mandate. Here’s our debate:

@RepThomasMassie @realJennaEllis He's a contrarian. Another John McCain. Does more harm than good to the GOP at large. Get rid of his ass and Rand Paul, and Kentucky's governor. The people of Kentucky voted for Trump in a landslide, it's time to actually elect people that will support him.

Glenn, your comments are as ridiculous as I've heard they are. Who but morons do you expect to believe you that Trump and Cruz are puppets of Israel? I know the malevolent Woke Right, because of the dark spiritual trance they're in, lap this up, but shame on you for this bile.
Glenn Greenwald@ggreenwald

Trump is trying hard to surpass Ted Cruz in the competition for who tweets most about Tucker Carlson. Since both of them just take orders from Tel Aviv, it's not as if either has much else to do.

@Tarapin28 @nicksortor @timburchett @laurenboebert @RepThomasMassie That’s hilarious you ignore that he was against it at least partially because it was used against him, and it’s yet another recent Trump flip-flop. Nope, just state this like he wanted a clean renewal the whole time. And he didn’t even bother to give a real reason.

🚨 JUST IN—IT’S OFFICIAL: Conservatives have BLOCKED an attempt to RAM THROUGH a 5 year extension of FISA in the dead of night, extending it by only 2 weeks @timburchett, @laurenboebert, and @RepThomasMassie are out here celebrating a win against the deep state 🇺🇸🔥 “They try to bring us in all these classified briefings and tell us how DANGEROUS it is to have warrants to spy on American citizens. The briefing that we're never going to get is, ‘hi, our agency has been given TOO MUCH power by Congress!” — Rep. Boebert — Asked about how this current FISA bill relates to the powers used to spy on President Trump’s campaign, Massie said: “Today, I went in the SCIF and saw two TOP SECRET documents that showed this program is getting worse—NOT better!” When I asked how extending FISA impacts everyday Americans, Massie replied: “If you get on the government's naughty list—regardless of who is in the White House—they could put your name in this, find things about you, and then go recreate ANOTHER evidence trail to discover that because they're NEVER going to say they used FISA.” — When I asked Burchett what he thinks of FISA, and if it’s used to spy on aliens, he said: “I don’t believe in FISA. The only reason aliens don’t come down here is because there IS not intelligent life.” 🤣🔥
