Former President Trump slammed the House Republicans who voted with Democrats to block the resolution that would have censured Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.). Trump said in a Truth Social post on Friday that any Republican who opposed the censure resolution should face a primary challenge for the GOP nomination for their next election.

Thomas Massie, again! “Representative Schiff exploited his position on HPSCI (House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence) to promote and excuse abusive intelligence investigations of Americans for political purposes,” Luna declared, making clear her indignation over the actions of her colleague. “The American taxpayers shelled out $32 million to fund an investigation into collusion launched as a result of Representative Schiff’s lies, misrepresentations, and abuses of sensitive information,” Representatives Andrew Garbarino (R-NY), David Joyce (R-OH), Rep Michelle Fischbach (R-MN), and Thomas Massie (R-KY) will vote not to censure Adam Schiff.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) indicated Tuesday he would support moving the bill to raise the debt limit to the floor for a full House vote, a pivotal step as House leaders race to rally enough support to send the bill to the Senate this week. Massie, one of nine Republicans on the House Rules Committee, had been holding out on taking a firm stance on the bill, which includes some of Republicans’ desired spending reductions and other provisions. The spending hawk became known this year for wearing a debt limit counter on his suit jacket, which shows the national debt...

. Massie could’ve blocked this Debt Limit Bill due the House Rules Committee Rules - and the Big Republican Deficit Hawk from Kentucky folded for Joe Biden! Just three days ago or so Massie was saying Republicans couldn’t stop the Spending in the past DUE TO TRUMP. Step right up and see your Fraud, Thomas Massie.

. Due to the agreed upon rules of the House Rules Committee- one Republican can stop the entire Deal with a simple Vote - Thomas Massie. The other votes are already there to stop it in the Rules Committee. One Man - says he a Fiscal Hawk - a Conservative Republican can easily stop it before it starts. They told us this is why we needed to vote Republicans in to Win the House.

China This week, after Biden vetoed a House and Senate-approved plan to reinstate the tariffs on solar panel imports, 197 House Democrats and eight House Republicans voted to help the administration stave off the tariffs. (snip) From 2001 to 2018, U.S. free trade with China eliminated 3.7 million American jobs from the economy — 2.8 million of which were lost in American manufacturing. During that same period, at least 50,000 American manufacturing plants closed down. Those massive job losses have coincided with a booming U.S.-China trade deficit. In 1985, before China entered the World Trade Organization (WTO), the U.S. trade...

On Wednesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Ingraham Angle,” Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), who has endorsed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) in his 2024 presidential bid, stated that DeSantis’ 2024 rival, former President Donald Trump, “can’t run on inflation” because he urged Congress to spend trillions of dollars on legislation like the CARES Act and that spending helped cause inflation. Massie also argued that this hurt Republicans in the 2022 midterm elections because “we couldn’t run against inflation, because most of my colleagues were urged by Trump” to spend trillions of dollars, but DeSantis won’t have that problem.

Congressman Thomas Massie (R-Agribusiness) is waging jihad against his fellow Republicans in the House over H.R. 2, an immigration bill that has been working through the House since January. He has specifically targeted the E-Verify provision, that would require employers to use the system, which has been in place for decades, to verify that their employees are legally allowed to work in the country. He has been on Twitter railing against the E-Verify system. There are two schools of thought as to why Massie has picked out this provision of the bill as his reason for opposing it. One is...

Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D–NY) and Rep. Thomas Massie (R–Ky) got into a shouting match over gun control this week. The fireworks started when Massie asserted that “there has never been a mass shooting in a school that allows teachers to carry.” Bowman called the statement “nonsense. More guns lead to more deaths.” Statistics don’t support Bowman’s claim. Gun ownership in the US has risen such that there are now more guns than people. However, federal crime data show that homicides committed with firearms have declined from 7 per 100,000 people in 1993 to to 4.3 per 100,000 people in 2018...

Another member of Congress has called on Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to challenge former President Donald Trump for the Republican nomination. This time it is Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie. Endorsements are not unusual, but the move by Massie could undercut recent Trump attacks that DeSantis was once a “disciple” of “RINO loser” former House Speaker Paul Ryan. The most outspoken libertarian in the House, it was Massie, not Trump, who opposed Ryan. He was the only Republican to vote against him for speaker, a move Massie worried “would attract the wrath of President Trump” because, at the time, “that’s how...

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) endorsed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) for president on Wednesday, becoming the second House Republican to throw their support behind the Florida governor — even though he has not launched a campaign for the White House. In a statement released by the Never Back Down super PAC, which is supporting a DeSantis presidential bid, Massie called the Florida governor “a proven energetic leader.” “America needs a leader who is decisive, respects the Constitution, understands policy, puts family first, and leads by inspiring,” Massie said. “That’s why I’m endorsing Ron DeSantis for President.” “If we make the...

@RepThomasMassie Trump endorsed swamp creature Paul Ryan for Speaker, which turned out to be a huge mistake. No Wall, No Obamacare repeal, No pro-2A. I was the only member of the GOP to vote against Paul Ryan, but there was no chance to defeat him once Trump endorsed him.

@RepThomasMassie Most politicians failed this test. @GovRonDeSantis is one of the very few who passed. RE: @BuckSexton You know everything you need to about a politician, expert, pundit, etc based on how they handled Covid It was the ultimate test of judgment, independent thinking, intellectual honesty and courage You absolutely cannot trust anyone who failed that test

@ColumbiaBugle "There is some really strange behavior on those videos of people behind the police lines in plain clothes like touching them on the shoulder, talking in their ear, walking around boundaries as if they weren't even there. It's very odd." Segment... [2 mins 48 sec]

House Judiciary Committee Republicans Jim Jordan of Ohio and Thomas Massie of Kentucky, sent a letter to Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) demanding the agency's head testify before Congress. Jordan, the chairman of the committee, and Massie, who holds a subcommittee gavel, demanded ATF Director Stephen Dettelbach appear before the House Judiciary Committee along with several agency officials. In the letter obtained by Fox News Digital, the lawmakers wrote they "have written the ATF with several requests for information and documents regarding the agency’s efforts to regulate firearms through the rulemaking process" and that they have "additional...

@RepThomasMassie The ATF's new rule on pistol braces is unconstitutional, conflicts with prior ATF guidance, and turns millions of law-abiding gun owners into criminals. But that’s Biden’s goal. Clip...

Rep. Thomas Massie took a shot at Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on social media before skipping his speech on Capitol Hill, joining other Republicans in an apparent boycott of the wartime leader’s address. “I’m in DC but I will not be attending the speech of the Ukrainian lobbyist,” Massie (R-Ky.) wrote in a Twitter post Wednesday, minutes before the Ukrainian leader thanked lawmakers for providing US military aid to Ukraine. “It is not charity. Charity would be given freely. The American taxpayers have been conscripted into making welfare payments to this foreign government,” Massie said of the billions of dollars...

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) on Tuesday slammed President Joe Biden for not sharing with Florida hurricane victims his personal wealth that he could have gained from the Biden family business deals. Tweeting a photo of a Politico caption that accused Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) of using the “president’s wallet” to restore hurricane victims, Massie responded the federal recovery funds were not Biden’s but instead belong to the taxpayer. Massie then bashed Biden for not actually donating any personal funds to hurricane victims who could benefit from his sketchy business schemes in which the president reportedly requested a ten percent cut.

@RepThomasMassie speaks out on the cruel and unusual punishment inflicted on Ross Ulbricht by the criminal justice system. Join Rep. Massie and more than 370,000 people demanding clemency from @realDonaldTrum at http://freeross.org. Watch this Video...

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg expressed his "impatience with all the complaining about high gasoline prices. The more pain we experience from the high price of gas, the more benefit there is from switching to electric vehicles. The stubborn insistence on holding onto the out-dated technology of the combustion engine makes me sick. Electric vehicles (EVs) are the obvious solution to mobility needs. People need to stop whining and get on-board with the government's efforts to motivate them to change how they travel." The ability of many people to buy EVs is impeded by their high cost. The initial purchase price...
