Republicans Thwart Rep. Massie's Bid to Block 'Kill Switches' in Cars that Goes...
• https://needtoknow.news, RevolverThe federal government will be implementing "kill switches" in every US car, giving them the ability to disable your vehicle at the touch of a button in 2026. Republican Representative Thomas Massie attempted to halt a deeply troubling, unconstitutional piece of legislation with an amendment, but it was rejected, thanks in part to Republican betrayals. Critics worry that the kill switch will be weaponized against American patriots.
Rep. Massie just delivered some very disturbing news. He attempted to halt a deeply troubling, unconstitutional piece of legislation with an amendment, but it was rejected, thanks in part to Republican betrayals. The federal government will be implementing "kill switches" in every US car, giving them the ability to disable your vehicle at the touch of a button. Gee, what could go wrong? Once again, we were betrayed by Republicans who voted with Democrats to keep this unconstitutional kill switch alive and well.
Just so you're aware, the bill in question was enacted in 2021 and contained over 1,000 pages. Do you think any lawmakers took the time to read it? Of course they didn't, and accountability is off the table since they're the rule-makers, not us. Meanwhile, we're just sitting here, like dopes, being taken for a ride, literally and figuratively.
???? The federal government has mandated that all vehicles sold after 2026 must have a kill switch that can disable your vehicle based on your driving performance.

My amendment to defund that unconstitutional mandate failed tonight.
Here is the roll call:https://t.co/YWufj9BuMv
