House votes to keep government kill switches in cars

Friday, January 23, 2026

57 HOUSE REPUBLICANS JOIN DEMOCRATS TO KEEP FEDERAL AUTHORITY TO SHUT OFF YOUR CAR Lawmakers failed to remove a mandate requiring automakers to install remote "kill switches" in new vehicles, giving the government the ability to disable cars at will.

While it's no surprise that 211 Democrats voted for this, they were joined by 57 Republicans.

Does anyone here support these kill switches? To me this seems to be the epitome of Orwellian.

I wonder what he was given in exchange for his guilty plea.

Then of course, there is this:

" Maryland Democratic Gov. Wes Moore and other Democratic leaders have fallen silent after it was discovered that illegal alien Ian Andre Roberts, who was recently arrested by ICE, is registered as an active Democratic voter in the state."

That thing we are lectured NEVER happens, happened. This type of thing is yet another reason Democrats love illegal immigration so much.

Congress also voted to approve over $1.17 TRILLION in spending, exceeding the White House's own request by billions.

No concern over that?

Are any of you capable of commenting on topic? It's like you've all been infected with the same disease.

The vote was on the omnibus spending bill, not some amendment you chose to nitpick.

I'd rather point out your mile high blinders and obtuseness.

Fair point. In light of that, mostly a stupid thread. Although I do argue that passing the kill switches into law is bad.

Take it up with Mike Johnson. H.R.1137 is a bill specifically to remove the kill switch mandate. It's been going nowhere in the House for a year.

The intent of the kill switch is to deter impaired drivers, just for some background.

I know that. It's still something that can easily be abused.
