Thomas Massie: "PSA: Bombing a country on the other side of the globe won't make the Epstein files go away, any more than the Dow going above 50,000 will."

One of President Donald Trump's longtime Republican critics, Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., joined Gang of Eight Democrats in opposition to Operation Epic Fury, the U.S. strikes on Iranian military targets. Trump has not sought congressional approval for an attack on Iran, Massie wrote on X, rebuking "acts of war unauthorized by Congress." "When Congress reconvenes, I will work with @RepRoKhanna to force a Congressional vote on war with Iran. The Constitution requires a vote, and your Representative needs to be on record as opposing or supporting this war."

(Massie) admitted in a recent interview that he once offered Republican leaders his vote IN EXCHANGE for a public expression of gratitude for his role in forcing the disclosure of the federal government's Jeffrey Epstein files. - snip Anyone who uses the victims of Epstein’s horrific sexual abuse to advance a political agenda or chase public recognition should seriously reconsider their line of work," said Rep. Derrick Van Orden, R-Wis.

'Donald Trump told us that even though he had dinner with these people in New York City and West Palm Beach, that he would be transparent, but he's not,' Massie said. 'He's still in with the Epstein class. This is the Epstein administration.' 'There are billionaires that are friends with these people, and that's what I'm up against in D.C.,' Massie said.

Rep. Ro Khanna, a California Democrat, said in an interview on CNN that he and Rep. Thomas Massie, a Kentucky Republican, are also considering whether Bondi should be held in contempt of Congress. "What we found out is the most important documents are missing," Khanna said. "They've had excessive redactions." The documents released Friday make only limited references to President Donald Trump, even though the administration has acknowledged that his name appears in the files. Former President Bill Clinton, by contrast, appears numerous times in the documents. The release included photos of Clinton swimming, as well as images showing him...

Representative Jim McGovern (D-MA), Ranking Member of the House Rules Committee and Co-Chair of the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission, Representative Thomas Massie (R-KY), and Representative Joaquin Castro (D-TX), Ranking Member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee's Western Hemisphere Subcommittee, have introduced a War Powers Resolution to block the Trump administration from engaging in hostilities within or against Venezuela absent congressional authorization.

@RepThomasMassie I received this troubling letter today from the attorney representing the most recent FBI whistleblower regarding the J6 pipe bomb investigation. Just a reminder to @FBIDirectorKash, in case this letter is warranted, federal law prevents retaliation against whistleblowers.

Rep. Thomas Massie (RINO-KY )’s attempt to sabotage the Trump Administration over the J6 pipe bomb investigation completely blew up in his face when FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino responded. As TGP readers know, we’ve been told for years that an unidentified suspect, approximately 5’7, planted pipe bombs at the RNC and DNC headquarters on January 5, the night before the Capitol riot. But the FBI still can’t find the person who planted the bombs. On Wednesday, Massie claimed he received a “troubling letter” which accused the FBI of retaliating against a whistleblower regarding the pipe bomb investigation. Specifically, the...

GOP Rep. Thomas Massie says Trump should tone down his rhetoric in response to the Charlie Kirk assassination:

House Democratic leaders on Wednesday stepped up their hardball criticism of President Trump and the GOP over the Jeffrey Epstein controversy, accusing their rivals of shielding pedophiles by not releasing federal files surrounding the case. The Democrats say the decision by GOP leaders to leave Washington a day early for the long summer recess — a move precipitated by Democratic efforts to force votes compelling the Trump administration to release those files — is indication that Republicans don’t want the details of the Epstein case revealed because they might implicate wealthy GOP donors, or even President Trump himself. “What a...
