Finally - - In this video interview by Liberty Daily, we start to get pedophile names by Thomas Massie. As you know, Massie is a controversial figure, but on this issue he is a bulldog.

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., on Wednesday criticized the Trump administration’s decision to take a 10% stake in embattled chipmaker Intel , calling the investment “a step towards socialism.” Intel announced last month that the U.S. government made an $8.9 billion investment in Intel common stock, purchasing 433.3 million shares at a price of $20.47 per share, giving it a 10% stake in the company. Intel noted that the price the government paid was a discount to the current market price. Paul said government ownership is “a bad idea.” “It’s always a mistake to say, ’Well we have this one bad...

@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.

Former Texas congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul is celebrating his 90th birthday on Wednesday, August 20, with tributes arriving from across the liberty movement. Earlier this month, around 1,000 supporters gathered in Clute to commemorate the occasion. According to the Durango Herald, supporters previously gathered at Brazosport College’s Dow Academic Center on August 9, including liberty activists, former staff, elected officials, and other figures connected to Paul’s long career in politics. The event was organized by Jeff Frazee of Young Americans for Liberty, the organization which grew out of Paul’s first Republican campaign in 2008, and doubled as a...

@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.

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,”...

@RandPaul The true cost of the tariffs 👇

@RepThomasMassie On September 3rd at 10:30am ET, @RepRoKhanna and I will be hosting a press conference at the Capitol joined by survivors of Epstein and Maxwell's abuse — several of whom will be speaking out for the first time. The survivors deserve justice and Americans deserve transparency.

I remember like yesterday when Dr. Paul called me into his Member office in 203 Cannon with a draft of his famous “What If” speech. He had written it in his own hand and he asked me to go over it and clean it up a bit. Not unusual for how he writes: from the heart. And afterward I spent a good deal of time in his office with a stopwatch making sure he could deliver it under the five minute rule. Shuffling the papers. What do we have to cut. Which paragraph could be spoken a bit faster. I...

Two men have appeared in court charged in connection with the rape of a 12-year-old girl in Nuneaton. Ahmad Mulakhil faces two rape charges, while Mohammad Kabir is accused of kidnap, strangulation and aiding and abetting the rape of a girl aged under 13. Warwickshire County Council leader George Finch has alleged the two men were asylum seekers, which the BBC has been unable to verify independently, and accused Warwickshire Police and the Home Office of covering up their immigration status. Police refused to disclose further details, saying: "Once someone is charged with an offence, we follow national guidance. This...

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...

Three out-of-state neocon billionaires are funding the PAC created to oust Kentucky’s Republican Congressman, Thomas Massie. The legislator claims they’re coming after him because of his opposition to foreign aid for Israel.The backers behind MAGA KY are John Paulson, Paul Singer, and the Preserve America PAC, whose primary financier is Miriam Adelson, according to the Federal Election Commission (FEC).Massie brought attention to the PAC’s financial backing on Friday in an X social media post. Massie’s 12-year run in Congress will end next year if President Donald Trump has his way. The independent Republican congressman has bucked the president’s wishes one...

Ron Paul is turning 90 on August 20. At 72, he was a revolutionary. Today, there is a raucous foreign policy debate within the Republican Party. Populist, realist and libertarian “America First” Republicans argue against endless wars and for fiscal responsibility, while holdover hawks continue to insist on a robust U.S. hand and military presence anywhere they can get it, no matter the cost. In 2008, there was no debate. While broad public opinion had soured on the Iraq War and President George W. Bush’s approval reached historic lows, the GOP of that era had spent nearly a decade marinating...

@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.

House Speaker Mike Johnson criticized a discharge petition that would force a vote in the U.S. House on releasing the federal files pertaining to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Reps. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., and Ro Khanna, D-Calif., are behind the effort to force the release of files relating to Epstein.

@KelleyAshbyPaul Going down memory lane putting photos together for Ron’s 90th birthday party video! Here he is being sworn in by Newt Gingrich in 1997- when he returned to Congress after leaving to practice medicine for ten years.

Ron Paul should have been president. That’s how I see it at least. On everything that has come to matter the most, he has been vindicated. The wars have been a disaster and Dr. Paul knew it. The money printing has run this country’s economy ragged and enriched its most deceitful. And Dr. Paul knew it. Our people are spied on, pried on, cajoled, mocked, and belittled by the intelligence agencies and federal bureaucrats who throw around words such as “terror” while targeting our civil liberties. And Dr. Paul knew it. When it wasn’t pretty, Dr. Paul would say 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...
