• Thomas Massie likened U.S. foreign aid to an individual watering their neighbor's yard while their own house burns, and illustrated his point with an AI image of Speaker Mike Johnson.

Representative Thomas Massie, a Republican from Kentucky, used a colorful analogy to oppose foreign aid, comparing it to a neighbor's house burning down and suggesting that instead of helping, one should just give the neighbor money to rebuild, which he argued is essentially what foreign aid does. During a House Rules Committee meeting, Massie criticized the allocation of $95 billion in foreign aid, particularly highlighting aid to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. He also took a jab at House Speaker Mike Johnson by sharing an AI-generated image of Johnson with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, implying that Johnson was overly focused on foreign issues at the expense of domestic priorities. Massie's comments and the image were part of his broader critique of the foreign aid package, emphasizing that such funds should be redirected towards addressing issues within the United States.
