D+ 35% Thomas Massie Congressman, Republican 4th District of Kentucky Served in the House, 2012-2026 Updated 10/15/2025

Massie—with the help of donors like Chowdhury, IPAC's Aljoboury, and the Washington, D.C.-based law firm Covington and Burling—raised $768,000 between July and September, the "best fundraising quarter of his career," according to Politico. While the outlet suggested in a July profile of Massie that the Republican's Kentucky district is more aligned with its congressman than its president, the overwhelming majority of Massie's most recent fundraising haul came from outside of the Bluegrass State. Of the $537,000 in itemized individual contributions Massie reported, just $22,000—or 4 percent—came from within Kentucky, a Free Beacon review found

Vance starts the 2028 race with advantages in the Rust Belt and Sun BeltAs we settle into the second Trump administration, eyes are already turning toward 2028. With President Donald Trump barred from a third elected term by the 22nd Amendment, the Republican nomination looks like a coronation for Vice President JD Vance. Polling shows Vance dominating the GOP field, with 46% support in a recent survey. That's far ahead of potential challengers. Vance, the Ohio senator and author of "Hillbilly Elegy," embodies the Trumpian blend of populism, economic nationalism and cultural conservatism that has reshaped the GOP. Operationally, his...

FBI Director Kash Patel turned over agency documents on Monday to Congress about an alleged Chinese plot to use fake drivers licenses for securing fraudulent mail-in ballots during the 2020 election.

Patel informed the public on Monday about the alleged plot and announced that he turned over the documents to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, a Republican from Iowa.

Senate Budget Committee Chair Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) has unveiled a plan to override Homeland Security Committee Chair Rand Paul’s (R-Ky.) proposal to fund border security and immigration enforcement activities at roughly half the amount favored by Senate and House Republican leaders. Paul created an uproar two weeks ago when he unveiled his portion of the Trump agenda megabill that would spend $6.5 billion on completing President Trump’s border wall and $22.5 billion on expanding detention facilities for migrants.

Patel’s warning echoes The Bureau’s exclusive reporting on a criminal convergence linking CCP-backed chemical suppliers, Iranian proxies, and Mexican cartels operating through Vancouver superlabs. WASHINGTON — In an explosive Sunday interview that will place tremendous pressure on Prime Minister Mark Carney’s new Liberal government, FBI Director Kash Patel alleged that Mexican cartels, Chinese Communist Party operatives, and Iranian threat actors have forged a new axis of criminal cooperation, using Canada’s porous northern border and the Port of Vancouver—not the southern Mexican border—as their preferred entry point to flood fentanyl and terror suspects into the United States. “In the first two,...

We were reliably informed that in order to secure our border we had to grant amnesty to criminals and allow millions of illegal aliens to enter the country in a year. "American border problems won’t be fixed until Congress acts,” then-President Joe Biden declared during his 2023 State of the Union Address, urging Congress to pass his “comprehensive immigration reform” plan. The “comprehensive immigration reform” plan that Biden pitched would have granted amnesty to an estimated 11 million illegal aliens who broke the law and treated America as nothing more than an economic opportunity zone to be exploited. Biden’s approach...

The mysterious duo who were pulled over in Coventry, Vt. in the deadly shootout are leftist trans militants with alleged ties to a trans terror cell allegedly involved in three other homicides. On Inauguration Day, the shocking news that a US Border Patrol officer had been shot dead near the Canadian border in Vermont in an incident involving a now-deceased foreign national was overshadowed by coverage of Donald Trump's events in the nation's capital. One week later, a 21-year-old Washington woman was charged over the deadly incident, but little has been reported about her and her deceased accomplice, a German...
