Thomas Massie: ’Why Are We Funding a Government That Pushes Totalitarian Policies?’

Representative Thomas Massie voices frustration over the continued funding of government agencies, despite years of congressional hearings that have exposed serious overreaches of power. He highlights the CDC’s misinformation, shortcuts by the FDA, unconstitutional gun bans by the ATF, overreach by the DOJ in prosecuting January 6 participants, and other instances of bureaucratic overreach from agencies like the FBI, NSA, USDA, NSF, and DOT. Massie criticizes both parties, noting that while Republicans claim to oppose these actions, they continue to approve funding for the very agencies responsible for these overreaches. He argues that Congress holds the power of the purse and should stop financing policies and programs that undermine citizens’ rights.
