On Veterans Day,
Men and women put on the uniform and answered when their country called. Many paid a high personal price. The least we can do is stop treating their service as a blank check for endless wars.
We honor veterans best when we refuse to start new conflicts that never end, never win, and never face a clear vote from the people. We honor them when we bring troops home from places that hold no true vital interest. We honor them when we stop using the military as a jobs program or a tool for foreign adventures that make the world less safe and our own country less free.
Endless war creates more veterans who need care, more debt, more surveillance, and more excuses for government growth. It does not create security.
To those who served: thank you. We show the highest respect when we refuse to send the next generation into the same cycle.
Republicans campaigned for years on ending endless wars, “America First,” and restoring Congress’s war powers.
Then they green-lit the Iran campaign without a declaration of war through Congress, ignored War Powers limits, and defended Hegseth while burying Massie’s articles.
Massie didn’t get primaried for being a bad coalition partner. He got primaried for refusing to pretend those broken promises never happened. “Constructive” in this coalition has meant looking the other way every time promises get discarded.
Republicans lost about 20% of their House seats this cycle. The libertarian faction lost 100%: they went from one seat to zero.
Libertarians have nobody left in Congress except Rand Paul. They need to figure out how to be a constructive minority partner in the Republican coalition. Massie's failed Hegseth impeachment stunt is a great example of what NOT to do.
From my interview yesterday morning with @AP4Liberty:
It shouldn't surprise anyone that Republicans are spineless cowards, afraid of political retribution for removing warmongers who bomb children from their positions.
This shouldn’t surprise anyone. @RepThomasMassie is an expert at finding ways to lose
Pete Hegseth is a warmonger who is perfectly fine with the bombing of children.
Republicans are cowards for failing to act for fear of political retribution. No morals, and no principles.
Spineless vermin.

This sums it up nicely.
Thanks to @Skelly4Liberty (who you should be following, by the way!)

“If we hold the current president accountable for war crimes, then we’ll be obligated to also hold a bunch of past presidents accountable for war crimes!”
Sounds like a plan to us.
The Democrats impeached President Trump a second time and actually had a trial in the Senate when he was a private citizen. Therefore, I propose the impeachment of every past president who is still alive for military operations in which they never received a declaration of war -- impeach them all and try them all -- as this is the new standard. The same for every past, living SecDef and SecState.
Your ad hominem “with us or against us” holds no weight.
Opposing people proud to have killed schoolchildren does not make one in line with Death to America.
Pete Hegseth stands behind bombing a school and killing schoolchildren.
He was proud to execute them.
He would do it again.
Treating competition on the ballot as a conspiracy to commit aggression is exactly what locks in the decades-long cycle of major-party candidates getting worse. Remove the "spoiler" threat, and both sides drift further from liberty.
Given a Republican with primarily Libertarian policies competing against a Democrat slavery maximizer, the act of intentional vote splitting against the former is a conspiracy to commit a deadly aggression.
The blood of the innocent victims will be on your hands, Mr. Skelly.

TIL bombing schoolchildren isn’t a crime…apparently.
The Sec of War has not committed any crime. Massie cannot possibly be so ignorant to the functioning of govt that he does not know the principal military advisors to the President on war in Iran are the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs & the Centcom Commander. So if the Iran war is his issue, he is going after the wrong man. Punishing Pete Hegseth for restoring the U.S. Military to the strength & organization needed to defend this country from all enemies both foreign & domestic is an odd choice. I relish all the attacks that will come at me for saying this - bring it on. Massie is wrong.
Trump is in shambles after his party got their asses kicked in the midterms.
Who would have known that breaking the promise of no new wars would have such disastrous consequences for him?
Such entitlement from people who believe that their preferred candidate is entitled to our votes.
If enough people did not vote for the candidate, that’s on the candidate and the campaign itself, not the voters who chose to vote for another candidate.
LMAO they still have it up.
Lifelong moderate Democrat here from Oakland County, Michigan. Never voted Republican in my life. But seeing Haley Stevens put country over party in this election against socialist extremism, I feel as if I have no choice but to do the same. I will be voting for Mike Rogers on Tuesday.

Stephen Millar wants to follow in the footsteps of Abraham Lincoln by suspending habeas corpus.
Tyrants beget tyrants.
Donald Trump is in the business of promoting psychopaths to major positions.
Pete Hegseth comes to mind, and now Stephen Miller, Trump’s new Chief of Staff.
Waiting for the next statewide candidate to save us has not been a winnable strategy in New York. That approach has been tried and failed.
To support a statewide candidate (whether for Governor or Congress), you first need a foundation. Without that foundation, the efforts are for naught.
Direct action through political localization is LPNY's core strategy.
Sustainable support for statewide candidates requires a foundation that can actually carry them.
That foundation is built by contesting local races with libertarian candidates who can win, influence policy, and serve as the backbone of the liberty movement’s future.
