@infolibnews House Speaker Mike Johnson held a "private meeting" with AIPAC and Jewish leaders on Wednesday on Capitol Hill wherein he reportedly pledged to screen out "isolationist" (see: anti-Israel) GOP candidates "to prevent that wing of the party from growing larger in the House." Rep. Tim Walberg (R-MI), who was also part of the meeting, revealed "he’d been texting recently with Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt about the proliferation of antisemitic conspiracy theories about the killing of influencer Charlie Kirk," Jewish Insider reported.

@Acyn Massie: According to victims these documents in your possession, detail at least 20 men, including Staley, CEO Barclays Bank, who Jeffrey Epstein trafficked victims to. That list includes 19 over individuals, one Hollywood producer worth a few hundred million dollars. One very prominent banker, one high profile government official, one high profile former politician, one owner of a car company in Italy, one rock star, one magician, at least six billionaires including a billionaire from Canada. We know these people exist in the FBI files.

@RepThomasMassie Funding deadline is 9/30/25. @SpeakerJohnson is running the same swamp play as Pelosi, Ryan, Boehner: use a CR to “kick the can” to right before the holidays. Rather than give the same speech, I’m submitting last year’s speech, Sub “lawmaker security” for “fake border security”

President Trump is facing outcry from some of his supporters after saying he plans to allow 600,000 students from China into the U.S. “It’s a very important relationship. We’re going to get along good with China,” Trump told reporters Monday during a meeting with the president of South Korea. “I hear so many stories about, ‘We’re not going to allow their students,’” he continued. “We’re going to allow their students to come in. We’re going to allow it. It’s very important — 600,000 students. It’s very important.” Trump’s comments marked a shift from earlier in the year, when Secretary of...

@RepThomasMassie Our government should not have ownership in private companies. There are so many specific problems with an arrangement like this, but fundamentally, this is not who we are as a country.

@RandPaul Happy 90th birthday, Dad! No one deserves more credit for curing young people's apathy and igniting the liberty movement. It's because of your bravery and fierce defense of our rights that the next generation carries on the torch of liberty.

@KobeissiLetter Are we on the verge of a generational jobs crisis? The 3-month average youth underemployment rate jumped to 17% in July, the highest since 2020. This metric includes unemployed individuals aged 16–24. Now, the youth underemployment rate has climbed by ~5 percentage points over the last 2 years. This is nearly in line with the peak during the 2001 recession and the early stages of the 2008 Financial Crisis. This also signals the US labor market could weaken further, with young workers typically the first to feel the impact when the economy turns. The job market is rapidly deteriorating.

.... Massie also has an ally in Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., a fellow self-described libertarian who describes Massie as a good friend. “I’m a big supporter of his, and vice versa. I’m planning a 10-city tour with him in September to support him, and we will do what it takes. We both represent sort of the liberty wing of the Republican Party,” Paul said. “We want to make sure that we don’t allow anybody to come in and try to defeat him.” Paul is the only GOP senator who voted against Trump’s megabill because of debt concerns, but, unlike Massie,...

Neo-CONNED is a speech Ron Paul gave on the House floor July 10, 2003.

A rebel Republican congressman has invited multiple victims of Jeffrey Epstein to a press conference at the U.S. Capitol as part of a bipartisan push to force the release of legal files linked to the late pedophile. Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, a thorn in Donald Trump’s side for his frequent objections to the president’s spending bills and foreign policies, said that he and Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna will be co-hosting the Sept. 3 conference. The event will feature survivors of abuse by Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, several of whom “will be speaking out for the first time,”...

NBC “News” segment on DOJ opening of Russiagate grand jury probe. The “reporter” apprises the viewer that: - Russiagate is a distraction - All Gabbard’s claims are unsubstantiated - *RE-EMPHASIZES* There is zero evidence to back up claims - It’s all politically motivated - Trump just wants to attack his political foes That’s the entire “report." The level of deceptive propaganda here is on par with what legacy media did when running the original hoax. And everyone understands why.

Last week the nuclear rhetoric between the US and Russia made some of us feel like we were transported back to 1962. Back then, Soviet moves to place nuclear-capable missiles 90 miles off our coast in Cuba led to the greatest crisis of the Cold War. The United States and its president, John F. Kennedy, could not tolerate such weapons placed by a hostile power on its doorstep and the world only knew years later how close we were to nuclear war. Thankfully both Khrushchev and Kennedy backed down – with the Soviet leader removing the missiles from Cuba and...

@RealAlexJones 🚨BREAKING EPSTEIN BOMBSHELL: High-Level Mossad Officer Ari Ben-Menashe Confirms Jeffrey Epstein Worked For Mossad & Has Been Blackmailing American Presidents For Decades!

@NuryVittachi "The American empire is over," Richard D. Wolff, U.S. professor of international affairs, tells Al Jazeera. Already the biggest economic power on the planet is not the US and its allies, but China and the BRICS. But no U.S. politician dares to tell the people: "It's over."

Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted associate of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, has been moved from a Florida prison to a new minimum-security facility in Texas, authorities have confirmed. The move comes as Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking, has pressed the Supreme Court to overturn her conviction while also seeking a pardon from President Donald Trump. Earlier in July, Maxwell held two meetings with the Deputy US Attorney General, the details of which have not been made public. Maxwell has been at the centre of controversy surrounding the Trump administration's handling of the Epstein files, and the...

@RepThomasMassie Three billionaires from New York City and Las Vegas have funded a superPAC deceptively named Kentucky MAGA to run millions of dollars of negative ads against me because I vote against foreign aid for Israel and needless wars in the Middle East. Kentuckians aren’t falling for it.

President Trump is increasingly directing his frustrations at specific Senate Republicans, including turning his fire on key allies in recent days. The president this week publicly excoriated Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) over upholding the “blue slip” tradition and pushing a congressional stock trading ban, respectively. While Trump has long had a tendency of airing his grievances out in public — especially toward those he views as disloyal — the latest barbs about staunch backers are raising eyebrows and drawing questions about whether the strategy will continue to be effective in advancing his agenda. “I don’t think...

Republican senators were appalled by President Trump’s rough treatment of 91-year-old Sen. Chuck Grassley (Iowa), the Senate’s most senior Republican, on social media and are pushing back on Trump’s attempts to squeeze the senator into abolishing an arcane procedure known as the Senate blue slip. GOP senators were not pleased that Trump piled so much pressure on Grassley, the chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, to get rid of a long-established Senate tradition. Trump piled on by reposting on Truth Social posts accusing Grassley of being a “RINO” and “sneaky” and standing in the way of Trump’s agenda. Sen. Thom...
