I have this radical idea: How about we let airlines handle their own security? They have the strongest incentives to screen out bad passengers while making the process smooth and seamless. A third party like the government has no such incentives - and it shows. TSA is a resounding failure on all accounts.

I live in a remote fishing village and I agree.

I live on a remote fishing island in Alaska and have worked in some of the most remote Arctic villages. This is bullshit and everyone who actually lives here knows it.

This is the funniest thing I’ve seen on the internet. Afroman had his house raided by Ohio Adam County deputies… who found absolutely nothing… broke his door, trashed his place, allegedly had $400 go missing… and then they refused to pay for the damages. So, like any reasonable rapper would do… He turned his home security footage into music videos, mocking them. And then, the deputies sued him for FOUR MILLION dollars… because they didn’t like being made fun of. And Afroman’s response? He dropped ANOTHER music video. In his own words: “Unconfidential informant lied to Police to get out of some trouble. Adam County Sherriff officers made a mistake by believing the lie. Raided my house, found nothing, refused to pay for the damages and filed a lawsuit against me, Afroman, for exercising my freedom of speech! This is me holding trial in one song. I hope you enjoy it.” They said his videos “ridiculed” them… so he decided to show them what that actually looks like. And the best part? A jury basically said… yeah… you don’t get to raid someone’s home, end up in their surveillance footage, and then cry because they used it to make fun of you.

If the TSA is not essential enough to fund, then perhaps Congress should abolish it

Congress promises to cut spending at rallies & on the Senate floor, but both parties unite in an unholy alliance: one demands more welfare, the other more warfare. Result? Debt explodes and the dollar crumbles. It’s time for congress to wake up.

@RepAdamSmith Why haven't you called out your own party for the Climate Commitment Act which spiked gas prices long before the war? Why are our gas prices $1.30 more expensive than Idaho?

I’ve never rated a note “helpful” faster in my life lmao

What if we cut six cents from every dollar the government spends? Not just the one-third Congress actually votes on. All of it. The budget balances in five years.

American elections are for American citizens only. Retweet if you agree.

If a politician gets mad about fraud being exposed They aren’t working for you, they are working against you That is all you need to know about them

How ‘bout, NO! LAST time we were forced to pass FISA (attached to a bill “for the troops”) I was promised “NEXT TIME” we would END warrantless spying on American citizens. Get FISA right before it comes to the Floor!

"Poland transforms from post-communist wreck to European growth champion in 35 years" Oh wow, so this business, entrepreneurship, free trade and free market stuff actually works! Who knew? Actually, every economist for the past 2 centuries. apnews.com/video/poland-t…

The problem with taping an ad about the U.S. debt and airing it a few months later: When we filmed this, the debt was a trillion dollars less than today! Please keep my campaign out of debt: secure.thomasmassie.com/donate

The fuse is lit We’re turning to the SAVE America Act tomorrow There can be no turning back No zombie filibusters Once we’re on the bill, we shouldn’t recess—even for the weekend—until this is done Trump agrees Proof of citizenship and voter ID must become law Pass it on

𝗦𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗧𝗟𝗘 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗥𝗕𝗨𝗖𝗞𝗦 𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗜𝗞𝗘𝗥𝗦 𝗚𝗘𝗧 𝗔 𝗠𝗔𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗖𝗟𝗔𝗦𝗦 𝗜𝗡 𝗘𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗢𝗠𝗜𝗖𝗦 The Starbucks on University Way in Seattle — one of the most progressive zip codes in America — just delivered a case study that no business school could write better. Workers went on strike. Three months in, they had to end it because they couldn't afford to keep going without a paycheck. Then Starbucks announced the store is closing April 5th. And the workers who went on strike were told they are not eligible to transfer to other locations. So to recap: they struck, they lost income for three months, the store is closing, and they don't get to move to another Starbucks. This is what happens when the bumper sticker meets the spreadsheet. Striking workers don't get paid. Stores that aren't profitable get closed. Corporations don't reward disruption with promotions. These are not novel concepts — they are how employment has functioned for the entire history of employment. Seattle has spent years electing politicians who treat basic economics like an opinion. The workers at this location were presumably raised in that same ideological environment. The idea that you can withhold labor indefinitely and the business simply waits patiently for you to return is a fantasy — and an expensive one. 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗱𝗶𝗱𝗻'𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀.

@GovBobFerguson How does an income tax put money back in people's pockets?

@GovPressOffice You do realize I’m trying to help America eliminate fraud and waste right? No need to try and make me look like the bad guy for exposing fraud. People are over it. Start working for the people and not against them.
