Rep. Thomas Massie, the maverick Republican who pushed back against Trump on the Epstein files and Iran, aimed a not-so-subtle dig at the pro-Israel establishment that has bankrolled efforts to unseat him
WASHINGTON – Rep. Thomas Massie, the harshest Republican critic of Israel in Congress and stated foe of the American-Jewish establishment, has introduced legislation aimed at attacking foreign lobbying efforts days before his Kentucky primary race.

They've spent $30 million+ on a House GOP primary and I sincerely hope U.S. House seats cannot be bought like this but what do I know..
Flush him . Shake the handle to make sure he stays gone.
That’s harsh from you
Yes. There are questions as to who is funding him.
His 15 minutes of fame are used up. Maybe MSDNC will hire him after he gets tossed back home.
God promised to bless Abraham and make his name great, declaring that all families of the earth would be blessed through him. This included a conditional promise that God would bless those who blessed Abraham and curse those who cursed him.
God will not be pleased with Rep. Massie...........
Don’t stand next to him when outside..........
$0R0$?................
This hatred for Israel is demonic.
According to Romans 2:28-29, all Christians are Jews inwardly, because their hearts has been circumsized.
God will curse those who curse Israel.
It’s not safe to be near Massie in the rain......
They’ve changed their name to BS NOW.
Apart from the divine intervention .....
This is a test of if there is room in the GOP for those like Thomas Massie, Rand Paul, MTG, Boebert and countless others especially more younger conservatives.
This race will tell us a lot. His opponent is a non-entity. If they swap Massie for him it will be seriously demoralizing to some.
“Good” many here will say but I suggest the winning coalition includes those more independent types.
But what do I know...
Less than $26M spent to date, total, and almost $11M spent by Massie, who has the incumbent advantage - boo hoo. Who’s buying what?
Between the sexual perversion scandal and the questionable funding, he’s just proving you can’t spell “Massie”, without “ass”...yet you keep rooting him on.
Thanks for the correction
It’s still a large amount spent on the race (all together)
Double check the figures on the $11m,.I dont thin it’s close to that spent by Mr Massie?
No, it’s not. Rand has a few principled stands, but is with the party on almost everything. I support Rand. MTG has lost her mind. Costa Rico? Boebert is still with Trump and vice versa - one comment and you’re going to hang your hat on that? Massie - sorry - he’s bucked the party on *too many* issues. Unreliable. You can call it “independent” or whatever other adjective you want to dress it up - unreliable. I don’t care what Trump thinks of him. I want him replaced.
But Rand mirrors Massie in the U.S. Senate
Also, his biggest supporter.
Anyway, NO more threads from me on this topic. It’s for the voters to decide right now.
This is about the Congresswoman who fired Massie’s accuser:

Spartz’s tenure was marked by high staff turnover. Congressional watchdog Legistorm measured her turnover in 2021 at three and half times the average of offices of House members, the highest turnover for a non-retiring member. In May 2022, Politico reported on what it described as a “toxic” environment within her office, with Spartz’s temper quickly jumping from tepid to boiling, and reported that “aides who have left after a couple of months did so because the work environment became untenable”. Examples of the office environment included Spartz ordering staff to record her direction to them and later denying the previously expressed instructions, despite the recordings. One former aide said, “the common theme: Staffers do their job, and then Victoria comes in saying that they have no idea what they’re doing, that they are ‘morons,’ calling them ‘idiots’”. Spartz responded that her working style is “not for everyone” and that her critics “need to ‘toughen up’”
