Only Thomas Massie Understands the Problem of Tesla ‘Terrorists’

As Donald Trump's administration rushes to call the vandalism of Teslas across the country “terrorism,” at least one Republican is not comfortable with doing so. In a recent story for Semafor on Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), reporter David Weigel highlighted a quote from Republican Congressman Thomas Massie (R-KY) that he posted on X. Weigel wrote of Massie, “He was also uncomfortable with Republicans using the word ‘terrorism’ to describe what was being done to the cars.” The story continued, “That term is overly used by both sides,’ he said. ‘It’s just vandalism and bad behavior.’...

Don’t Treat Pro-Palestine Protesters Like J6 Protesters

Don’t Treat Pro-Palestine Protesters Like J6 Protesters

“Treason.” “Sedition.” “Coup.” These were the words used immediately to describe the protesters—or “insurrectionists” who participated in the January 6, 2021 riot on Capitol Hill. As ugly as that day was without having to embellish, Democrats and Never Trump Republicans were still insistent that this event was not merely a political protest turned violent, but a legitimate attempt to overthrow the United States federal government. Never mind that there was zero chance that was actually going to happen. Never mind that there was no organized effort to do so, or a particular foreign state or...

Rand Paul introduces the most sweeping reform of civil asset forfeiture law in decades Sen. Rand Paul has long taken the lead in calling for the reform of civil asset forfeiture laws, a controversial police practice in which authorities basically steal the property of citizens without due process and little recourse.

Rand Paul: ‘It would be a really rotten, no good, bad idea to have ground troops in Syria’

In 2015, I asked, “Why is Rand Paul the only Republican who knows our foreign policy is crazy?” Among the crazy characteristics is the U.S.’s constant habit of intervening militarily in other nation’s civil wars. It was precisely this sort of suggestion during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee meeting on Tuesday featuring former Defense Department and CIA Chief of Staff Jeremy Bash and national security adviser and U.S. Ambassador James Jeffrey, that seemed to incense committee member Sen. Paul. The senator vehemently rejected sending American troops to Syria, “I’d like to go on record as...

Tulsi Gabbard told Trump ignore the “drumbeats of war”

President-elect Donald Trump met with Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) on Monday, reportedly to discuss a possible position in his cabinet, and a senior member of the transition team now says the congresswoman is “under serious consideration.” But Rep. Gabbard is also explaining a primary reason why she wanted to meet with the President-elect. “President-elect Trump asked me to meet with him about our current policies regarding Syria, our fight against terrorist groups like al-Qaeda and ISIS, as well as other foreign policy challenges we face,” Gabbard said in a statement after her meeting with...
