LA GRANGE, Ky. (AP) — President Donald Trump and his political operation are working to unseat their first Republican incumbent: Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie, who has drawn Trump's wrath by saying the president lacked the authority to attack Iran's nuclear sites without congressional approval and voted against his massive tax and spending cuts bill.

Trump aides have launched a new super PAC devoted to defeating Massie in his 2026 primary, Axios first reported. It is the first concerted effort by his team to unseat a sitting member of Congress and sends a clear signal to other Republicans that they cross Trump at their peril.

People in Kentucky need a local congressman.

Not one using them for national aspirations.

Massie may be listed a Republican but his voting record and policy positions seem to align more with the Democrats.

Setting the Vance administration up for 8 years of a friendly Senate.

Changing channels I saw the CNN woman sounding reverential and saying they’d shortly have Thomas Massie on the phone.

Massie probably is boasting to people about “all my new friends” like the scene in Dumb and Dumberer before the “friends” send them up a flag pole to be laughed at.

What’s wrong with Kentucky? Rand Paul, and this guy...then there’s their governor but at least he IS a Dem, so not a surprise that he fights Trump just as these bastids do.

In Trump’s first term they contrasted him with Pelosi and Schumer who made sure dissenters were punished and ruined in any way necessary as a lesson to onlookers.

Can you imagine Mafia lords saying “Hey, no problem. I’m gonna just forgot about this and give you another chance. And if you wanna retire just give me your word you won’t turn us in for anything. Deal?”

“””Massie probably is boasting to people about “all my new friends” “””

If you are a “republican” who says ORANGE MAN BAD you are very popular on the “news” channels.

Next to the LORD, not being married yet , I love nothing more than the USA. To run it down, and be a turncoat or traitor is the worst thing a person can do in my eyrs.

There are supporters who seem to be in a cult. Massie and now MTG? Madness. You do not build a coalition by cutting out members of your party.

I was a top Trump voter/supporter, but this is a bridge too far.

Come 2026, the door will be open to a Democrat resurgence because of the starting of the war, and now kicking out people in his own party.

I’d say it’s the distilled spirits they consume - OTOH, Jack Daniel’s is made in a dry county.

What war are you talking about? The Iran war is over. Didn't you hear the news? Iran has essentially surrendered.

Great reply, but you will find out. Well, unless you are just a follower or a war monger.

You likely won’t read it, but it is the truth and describes how our nation was founded. We have turned sharply from that, and are back at war and nation building.
