Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) publicly denounced GOP leadership for moving to waive the rule requiring Congress members to read a bill for 72 hours before a vote. Referring to the sweeping tax and spending bill known as Trump's Big, Beautiful Bill, Massie questioned the rushed legislative process, which allegedly violates established norms. His stance has drawn criticism from former President Trump, who called Massie a 'grandstander' for voting against spending levels and indicated that such actions could jeopardize his political future.
Massie highlighted the conflict within the GOP, criticizing leadership for bypassing the rule allowing legislators 72 hours to read significant bills before voting.
Despite the rules promising lawmakers 72 hours to review bills, the process was sidestepped this week by measures that change the legislation dramatically.
