On Tuesday, Republican Congressman Thomas Massie slammed Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s mask requirement, while a group of Republicans refused to abide by the rule.
Massie said her mandate had little scientific backing and refused to wear a mask on the House floor, tweeting, “We’ve had enough.”
We’ve had enough. We are refusing to wear our masks on the floor during this vote in spite of Pelosi’s threat to take $500 from each of us.
Her rule is not based on science. All you need to know is the mask rule has only ever applied to members when they can be seen on TV !

Massie: ‘Her Rule Is Not Based On Science’
“We are refusing to wear our masks on the floor during this vote in spite of Pelosi’s threat to take $500 from each of us,” he added.
“Her rule is not based on science,” Massie continued. “All you need to know is the mask rule has only ever applied to members when they can be seen on TV!”
Along with about eight other GOP members on Tuesday, Massie reportedly refused to wear a mask on the House floor.
“I can’t hear you with your mask on,” Massie shouted at an unspecified Democrat who confronted the maskless Republicans, according to Politico’s Melania Zenona.
Among the R’s I’ve spotted refusing to wear a mask thus far:
—Greene
—Gohmert
—Mary Miller
—Van Duyne
—Gohmert
—Massie
—Norman
—Boebert

CDC Said Thursday That Mask Wearing Not Necessary For Those Fully Vaccinated
On Thursday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the White House declared that fully vaccinated people do not have to wear masks indoors or outdoors.
This prompted a group of over thirty House Republicans led by Republican Congressman Bob Gibbs to send a letter to Pelosi insisting that she lift her House mask mandate.
The letter read, “Speaker Pelosi, In accordance with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance released on May 13, 2021 we urge you to immediately return to normal voting procedures and end mandatory mask requirements in the House of Representatives.”
Today is a great day for America in our long battle with COVID-19.
Just a few hours ago, the CDC announced they are no longer recommending that fully vaccinated people need to wear masks.

Pelosi Requires Mask Mandate
“The United States Congress must serve as a model to show the country we can resume normal life through vaccination,” the letter advised. “Let’s follow the science and get back to work.”
But Speaker Pelosi has shown no signs thus far that she has any interest in following the CDC guidelines.
“A spokesperson for Pelosi confirmed to Bloomberg that the mask mandate would remain because it’s not known how many lawmakers and their staff are vaccinated.”
Business Insider notes that the Senate does not have a mask mandate.
Now is the time to support and share the sources you trust.

And guess what Nancy….
HIPPA rights apply to House members, too.
That's why I wojld send that message any way. If the damocraps don't like it I will do it . And I will keep doing it . I will not comply with communist. If you do it's will be your fault what will happen next from these commies.
Yes they do !!! But yes she is so ugly she needs to keep on at all times.even while sleeping. Easier for as long as she breaths !!!
This federal government needs to be sent down the river . they are in on this crap as will.
Remember everyone . you are supposed to be kind to Dumb animals. Fact is she is so old and demented she have a head full of that cream filling that comes from bananas . And it had made her drunk and stupid.
Real R's would bring a roll of duct tape and replace Nancy Pee's mask with something more permanent……Ubetcha!…………..
If only her mask could keep the lies she tells from leaving her mouth…you know, like germs?
Do like I did , don't do it . I have not wore any mask at all. From the beginning
Say Mr. or Ms. or Mrs. Guest, I agree with you, that Missy Pilosi has one ugly face, but her questionable sister Missy Maxine "The Rude, Biased, Confrontational, Racist Inciter Of Violence" Waters Sincerely has one that is even Uglier!!!
How about all of that knitting on producing a lot of Chastity Belts, in small sizes for the face, and the Larger Sizes For Where They Are Needed Also!!!
Pelosi doesn't want to give up control. She thinks that by people wearing masks can't talk back or understand what is being said very well. Listening to her is like listening to Fauci; that was Trump's big mistake. Since when does a democrat help a republican. My opinion which I am still able to have.
And as long as the GOP doesn't just bend over and give in, not wanting to be called out and "cancelled" by the Democrats…
Ignorance is bliss. You're the happiest man kin the world.
She is sooo ugly, and WANTS keep wearing a mask, trying to get ALL House members to wear one so she’s not the Only one wearing!!! She’s so funny & Stupid!!!:):):):):)
And yet, Trump owns ewe 24/7. Hilarious.
Down south they have a wonderful saying: Kiss My Grits!!!
HOW TO CONTROL AN OBSESSION
The challenge then is to make our obsessions function positively, controlling them so they don't control us, extracting the benefit of obsession without succumbing to its detriments. To do this, the following strategies may be helpful:
1. Distract yourself at varying intervals
2. Accomplish a task that helps put your obsession behind you
3. Focus on your greater mission
4. Adopt a practice that grounds you
5. Listen to what others tell you
Obviously ewer TDS is peaking…actually it never subsides. Hilarious.

then wear your mask but I am not.
since the democrats are in the majority and intent on destroying our way of like. i would prefer that they discuss masks or knit rather than create more bills to hurt us.
Trump droppings are worse and more prevalent.
Horse droppings.
Maxine Waters needs a "hand mask" Honestly, it looks like she has "Skeksis skin". And what happened to following the science? The CDC says those fully vaccinated can go maskless. Oh, right, the science only matters when it fits in with the control narrative. No masks sounds like freedom…we can't be sending THAT message!
Duh, do you really think they wound show honor and integrity? Maybe stop, think, and ask yourself, why are there so many millionaires in congress?
More like the left-wing "mob". They do the "cancelling", which is an attempt to destroy someone's personal life. Voters just vote someone in, or vote them out…nothing personal, or destructive, is involved…
If I were a repub in congress, I should be more worried about being canceled by the voters.
It's all about the power she thinks she wields behind that gavel. It's WAY past time for her to be retired.
Especially under the eyes…
She has as many masks as she has expensive ice cream flavors…
Pelosi SHOULD wear a mask…criminals usually do, don't they?
She is a double bagger, isn't she?
Hang KG by his gonads! Oops! He has none.
Hey Pepoopi – Shut UP
CONTROL FREAK – FINE THEM 500 DOLLARS – and then go the bank and fine the teller when she refuses your deposit because it is monopoly money – what a weird thing she is – losing control is fueling her need for more bjs ice cream and 500 a bottle wine oh wine
Wishful thinking! Nothing was done about the fraud 0 h0 m0 being elected, or hil LieR y 's corrupt dealings, or hunter's deals, or the leftists involved in the fake dossier…. what makes you think that anything will be done about the stolen election?!
This covid-19 fiasco was NEVER a serious problem. It was all established to accomplish more of the leftist agenda. The regular flu has been around for decades and killed thousands (20-60 thousand) annually, yet the CDC reported no deaths or even cases for 2020 and the numbers have been proven to be a complete fabrication. This plandemic was designed with two main goals – 1) to distract from the corrupt theft of our election to get rid of President Trump, and 2) to coerce the people to voluntarily take a man-made fake vaccine intended to kill, maim, and sterilize. Sadly, none of the people in Washington, including on the right are intelligent enough to understand or they are going along with it all because they want the same outcome as the left. Currently there are ore than 100,000 deaths and many more serious medical issues that have come from this fake vaccine.
People who believe that this covid plandemic is real, are just as st0 0pid as those who believe in global warming, in more that two sexes, etc. – NONE of which is supported by science!
this is to HIDE the Biden crimes, they are working HARD to find dirt on Trump— spending our money to hunt for something that they know is a lie! The dems need to pay back all of the money spent on all of their ridiculous made up charges. Go after the real culprits—the Bidens, Shoemakers, Schumer, Pelosi, AOC , the rest of the sorry Squad-none of them like America–they want to make it a third world country—NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!
don't worry, she will have a beard to cover that face soon-all of those face lifts she's had will make sure of that!
Electricity and Heat Production (25% of global greenhouse gas emissions): The burning of coal, natural gas, and oil for electricity and heat is the largest single source of global greenhouse gas emissions.
Humans are reported to emit about 1 liter per day of flatulent gases, about 1% of our body volume. Most human-caused methane is inadvertently leaked while producing and transporting gas and oil, so improving those systems “could give us a pretty big "bang" for a buck,
I still do not believe she has a pulse in her case wearing a mask beautifies America.
It has to be a very little person who gets their sense of power by forcing people to follow a ridiculous rule because you can.
I would refuse to pay the $500.00 she imposed, and then sue her for embezzlement.. Where's Hunter?
Yes, masks are being used to set up a dictatorship. And no, anti-Biden voters shouldn't waste their time on this silly issue. We have crime, cartels getting rich on our money, aliens being treated better than citizens, wasting taxpayer money on untested green projects, corrupt universities and government agencies, a dishonest FBI and CIA, and a useless set of public schools.
Masks? Not worth discussing.
Careful perusal of NASA graphs at National Climatic Data Center
– The Younger Dryas shows several periods of warmer climates than present. Human activity can ruin the air and water but not control the larger factors in climate. Our best efforts should go into new and improving technologies to make the best use of all present/emerging energy sources instead of making silly efforts to ruin people's teeth and bones by eliminating cows (and their milk).
pelosi is on a power trip and is losing control quickly, this just shows that the science means nothing to her only wants the power.
Pressure mounts on Trump amid criminal investigation of his business
Trump and his family are under mounting pressure after the New York state attorney general’s office said its investigation of the Trump Organization is now criminal as well as civil.
The investigation has been in progress since 2019, but a “criminal capacity” has been added to the probe, which Trump has said is politically motivated. Significantly, the New York state attorney general’s office will work with the Manhattan district attorney, who has been investigating the former president’s business for more than two years.
A spokesman for Letitia James, the New York state attorney general, said: “We are now actively investigating the Trump Organization in a criminal capacity, along with the Manhattan DA.”
The DA’s office has said in court filings that it is investigating “possibly extensive and protracted criminal conduct” at the Trump Organization – including falsification of business records and tax and insurance fraud.
"My father used to always say to me that, you know, if a guy goes out to steal a loaf of bread to feed his family, they'll give him 10 years, but a guy can do white-collar crime and steal the money of thousands and he'll get probation and a slap on the wrist." – Jesse Ventura
Can't wait until Trump is back in the WH so he can boot this guy out again, Climate Scientists are a hoax we can do without.
I would make an exception for Pelosi to wear her designer masks especially since we all have witnessed that without a mask she spits all over the place when trying to talk nonsense. By the way is Pelosi vaccinated?
Veteran Climate Scientist Booted by Trump Returns to White House
Climate scientist Mike Kuperberg is returning to the White House to lead the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) after he was removed from his post by for Trump. The USGCRP conducts climate research and writes reports that lawmakers and corporations use to create new policies. Kuperberg said he is “really excited to be back.” “I think [the program] is a critical component for advancing the climate agenda of this administration,” he added.
After he removed Kuperberg, Trump had hired David Legates to fill the position. Legates, a meteorologist, has questioned the impact of human behavior on climate change, and was fired just before Biden became president because he and another government scientist had published unapproved climate documents with the White House seal on them. Those documents were not checked by the Office of Science and Technology Policy prior to publication.

EXACTLY. It is NOT a vaccine. Its just a shot that may or may not have adverse future affects on the person who takes it.
Seems the DS is finally losing control of everyone. Keep your eyes on the Arizona audit. Dominos will start to fall when the news of the results of that audit comes out. And it may not be able to come out in the convention tv news way!
She needs a place to wear all those designer masks she paid for. A new one for each outfit she wears!
What?
We really have nothing better to do ion Congress than talk about wearing masks? We have serious problems in this country. Let's focus our efforts on those problems and if your scared, wear a mask.
But everyone IS "fully vaccinated!" This is NOT a vaccine. It is a shot, a jab. It does not stop someone from getting corona.
If I were as disgusting looking as Pelosi, I would wear a mask too.
Of course you can trust Congress – as long as the 'honor system' works in the democrats political advantage!
First of all IMO although this Covid-19 WAS a serious problem and like all 'new' viruses/diseases will be around forever now the entire matter has been used by the democrats as nothing more than a political power issue – starting with contradicting then President Trump when he called for safety/caution measures at the outset. This quote from the article "says it all" Massie continued. “All you need to know is the mask rule has only ever applied to members when they can be seen on TV!”
So you can't trust Congress to follow an honor system ?
Would someone please make Pelosi a mask that covers her whole face and is triple strength at her mouth? That would solve a few of our collective woes.
