[Source.](https://amgreatness.com/2025/03/05/massie-not-on-board-with-speaker-johnsons-spending-bill-vows-to-vote-against-it/) > Congressman Thomas Massie (R-KY) is vowing to vote against House Speaker Mike Johnson’s “clean” continuing resolution (CR) that seeks to fund the government in 2025 at the same levels as in 2024. > This is not the first time that Massie has found himself opposing GOP leadership on fiscal grounds but the stakes are high as Congress seeks to pass a CR to fund government operations beyond March 14. > Massie spelled out the reasons why he plans to break with House leadership in a post yesterday on X. >> Thomas Massie >> @RepThomasMassie I’ll vote against a clean CR that funds everything in 2025 at 2024 levels because: >> 1. @SpeakerJohnson isn’t following the provision in law that would have cut everything by 1% if the CR extended past April. >> 2. We should not fund the waste, fraud, and abuse that Doge has found. >> 3. These are supposed to be 12 separate bills. >> 4. We were told that the CR in December that got us to March would allow us to prioritize Trump’s agenda this March using the checkbook. >> PS @bresreports incorrectly reports I’ll be voting No on the “rule” and refuses to correct his article in spite of being notified of his mistake. What a goof.
