Jeff sponsored a multiplier for Congressman Thomas Massie, but hasn't said much about the topic of Israel controlling our politicians.

Massie shows a poll showing 67% agree Israel meddles the most in US politics.

Thomas Massie was the only one to show up in DC for the vote when they voted to enact emergency measures. At 4 in the morning. He got in his car and drove all the way from Kentucky. He's also a farmer.

Thanks for sharing! Maybe i’ll reconsider. I do agree with/ LMWC there’s probably a few with integrity out there working very hard but we never hear about them.

It's it crazy how few of them are focused on just fixing their state and local areas? I get that senators should have some global considerations.

But if they just took 1 billion of the 25 billion just shipped to Israel (or whoever), and used it to fix bad infrastructure in Columbia, SC, wouldn't that be a better legacy for Tim Scott?

Seriously. Remember that clip where Trump was saying "Tim Scott never campaigned as hard for himself as he campaigned for me!" (paraphrasing here)?

I heard that as a subtle dig--like: "You're just slavering at the idea of me picking you, aren't you!" And also: "I don't respect that."

I read somewhere before covid, about Congress, the ones you never see or hear about, are the ones actually doing the work. The ones always in the news are the grandstanders from both sides. Could be….

Ron Johnson sadly is mostly performative at this point. He’s got all the receipts from Sasha Latapova and Katherine Watt, and has failed to move forward on them.

Tim Scott is a talker like Jim Jordan, but does nothing.

Thomas Massie seems like one of the few actual principled folks there.

I don't know about whatever scuffle with those two but I do appreciate all of Ron Johnson's work assembling the hearings on Covid with real experts I trust way more than the gov't. Nobody is perfect or without deficiencies but I will continue to appreciate him as one of the more vocal and action-oriented representatives that we currently have.

LOL. Ron Johnson, Rand Paul and Tim Scott helped block Trump's appointments by keeping the Senate in constant session. It only took one senator to break that log jam. They all fail.

Imagine what it would be like if all of congress wasn’t owned. It would probably be about 70/30 conservatives majority, like the country.
