U.S. Rep Thomas Massie (R-KY) recently celebrated Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s decision to reject a deal from the Trump administration, leading to a public dispute with Stephen Miller.
Trump adviser Stephen Miller chimed in on that post, writing, “MIT is a federally funded and financed institution. The US government asked MIT, as one of America’s largest recipients of taxpayer dollars, to certify that students and professors will be hired based on objective merit and not skin color.”
“Undergrad tuition is privately funded at MIT with a few exceptions like Pell grants which apply to all colleges,” Massie wrote. “I trust MIT more than any party at the White House to know which 18 yr olds can solve differential equations. Also, Feds policing speech on campuses is Orwellian.”
I appreciate a GOP congressman standing up.
I would appreciate it more if he stood up against all the other awful shit the Trump admin does.
The day he stands up to Peter Thiel is the day he has my respect.
The day Ro Khanna stands up to Peter Thiel (and drops his investments in Palantir) is the day he has my respect.
I can appreciate watching a three-card monte trick without volunteering to play. And I definitely don’t trust the con man that called the crowd over to watch the card game.
He is the one pushing the Epstein files discharge petition in the House. He’s actually done a lot of good unlike the rest of his klan
Of course, the modern day Hardy boys (Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie) are the tag team carrying this out. So, it appears Peter Thiel’s coup to oust Miller has officially begun (finger crossed).
While I will be very glad to see him go, just a quick reminder that Thiel never gets rid of somebody before he’s used them to accomplish something that he needed done, but didn’t want associated with himself. Or, until he has somebody else lined up to replace them.
I would guess what he needed Miller to accomplish and be the face of, is the National Security Presidential Memorandum 7, which potentially makes any opposition to Trump or the GOP, a crime of domestic terrorism.
If Massie truly feels this way about MIT, you might think he would also argue that the memo is a bit “Orwellian,” but arguing that also probably earns you a spot on the list for commiting a thought crime.
While just about everyone will be glad to see Miller leave, (even moreso than Musk), just remember, he doesn’t take the authoritarian policy he’s already put in place with him.
Miller is so getting clobbered by the fascist machine as soon as he’s played his role…
Those Foster Grants are not doing him any favors. I recommended a paper bag.
Is he trying to resemble Jim Jones?
Ok, then vote accordingly. What’s that, you’re just gonna roll over like a little bitch and do everything Trump makes you do? Then shut the fuck up.
“guy who keeps starting fires says fires are bad, news at 11”
They need to report when it’s not Massie. He’s the ideological libertarian that’s less shit than Rand. It’s expected to see our Junkyard Wars star break from ranks when there’s no threat or risk to the policy.
