@ShadowofEzra Thomas Massie breaks down how Jeffrey Epstein built a system designed to trap underage girls and shut them up. He says Epstein would lure girls as young as 14 with quick-cash “massage” offers, only for it to turn sexual, and then he’d use shame and fear to keep them coming back on command. Girls were pushed into recruiting another girl just to escape the abuse, locking them into a cycle that left them feeling guilty, responsible, and scared to ever speak. Once they hit the age of consent, Epstein handed them off to powerful, wealthy men, who could bury...

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), who is leading the effort to force a vote on the full release of the files tied to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, said he is hopeful the number of Republicans backing the measure “could snowball.” “I’ve already had a couple Republicans tell my office privately that they’re going to vote for it,” Massie told CNN’s Manu Raju outside the Capitol on Wednesday. “And I think that could snowball,” he added. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said Wednesday he will call a vote on the measure next week, speeding up the process after a discharge petition garnered...

@RepThomasMassie 🏆 In spite of a last ditch effort by the President to foil the motion, and @SpeakerJohnson’s propaganda, the discharge petition I have been leading just succeeded! In December, the entire House of Representatives will vote on releasing the Epstein files.

@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.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) vowed that President Trump’s threats to primary him will “backfire tremendously” and ultimately lead to Republicans losing their House majority in the 2026 midterms. “Well, they’ve spent $1.8 million against me so far in my congressional district. I think it has had very little effect, but they are trying to beat up on me to keep everyone else in line here and I think it is not working. I think what’s going to happen, this will be a referendum on whether the executive branch controls the legislative branch,” Massie said during a Tuesday interview with NBC...

Trump’s political operation just dropped this ad against Thomas Massie in Kentucky:

President Donald Trump on Thursday said that he has directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to release relevant grand jury testimony related to the disgraced, late financier Jeffrey Epstein.

@RepThomasMassie Americans deserve transparency and the victims of Epstein (and his associates) deserve justice. Thank you @RepEricBurlison for cosponsoring this legislation to release the Epstein files.

Rapidly making good on President Trump’s promise to back a 2026 Republican primary challenger to libertarian-minded Rep. Thomas Massie, the Trump team has already launched a super PAC dedicated entirely to removing Massie from office next year. It promises to make for the strongest challenge Massie’s faced yet. The new “Kentucky MAGA” super PAC will be run by top Trump political operatives Tony Fabrizio and Chris LaCivita, with La Civita telling Axios the new entity will spend “whatever it takes” to replace Massie. Trump’s political circle has already had discussions with potential challengers. “Massie’s long-time opposition to…really anything to do...

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...
