Thomas Massie repeatedly tried to stop or limit funding for the fraudulent daycare programs, especially after major fraud was uncovered in Minnesota involving hundreds of millions to potentially billions in misused federal child care funds. He publicly called out the $8 billion nationwide program for lacking guardrails against theft, challenged GOP leaders like Speaker Johnson and Leader Thune to fix it instead of just extending funding, and claimed he was the only Republican who never voted to fund those fraudulent centers. When a judge blocked Trump’s efforts to withhold funds from high-fraud states, Massie offered a specific amendment to an omnibus bill. It would have let the HHS Secretary temporarily freeze payments to risky states under programs like the Child Care and Development Fund until fraud reviews were done. That amendment got blocked in the Rules Committee. He’s been vocal about it into 2026, criticizing both parties for keeping the funding flowing without real oversight. The Minnesota scandal—tied to things like fake enrollments and kickbacks—has been a big flashpoint, with Massie pushing hard against it while most of Congress kept the money moving.

I havent kept up with his history, but not being a sheep makes him a target.

Trump tried to freeze funding but it was blocked by a looney judge, but let’s blame Trump for everything. Throwing darts at the same target. 
Bring back DOGE. We all know how popular that was with the Trump haters. Innocent Tesla dealers and owners beware. Everybody cries about cutting spending, but when it does get cut, the left will riot because their piggy bank got broken into. Judges will block every move, but the Trump haters will let him have it with )both barrels).

I know poor Trump, nothing is never his fault. He constantly praises these republicans in leadership roles that refuse to get meaningful legislation passed. The Save Act should be a slam dunk but here we are. 

Trumps ego got rid of Elon. Musk was never mad about doing away with ev subsidies which Trump lied about. He just wanted to have level playing field when it comes to subsidies and just do away with all subsidies for all car makers and oil companies. Let the most innovative companies survive and weak ones sink. Isn’t that how capitalism is suppose to work?

Some of our leaders bow and kneel to other leaders. What a weak show.
