@freethepeople One of the main reasons why the government remains shut down — and why Speaker Johnson (R-La.) is preventing the House of Representatives from convening — is that Massie has the votes to release the Epstein files.

KENTUCKY FAILING (once again)🤡cc: @RandPaul@SenRandPaul@RepThomasMassie

A true mask off moment for Thomas Massie. Only $22,000 of the nearly 540k of individual donations came from within Kentucky. This guy has become everything that he claims to hate.

@TomiLahren If they want to import cheap foreign beef, at least LABEL it as such!

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

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) pledged to support his colleague Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) as he faces a Trump-backed primary challenge in 2026. In an interview with POLITICO’s Dasha Burns for “The Conversation,” Paul said threats lobbed at Massie from President Donald Trump and others close to the president should raise alarms for any lawmaker, and vowed to help his Kentucky colleague maintain his seat. “Thomas Massie is going to win,” Paul said. “I’m going to help him. I’m going to be with him every step of the way.”

Club for Growth President David McIntosh said the powerful free-market PAC is undecided on whether it will support Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) as he faces a Trump-backed challenger — despite its previous strong support for the incumbent. “I don’t really understand what Thomas has been doing recently, you know, siding with the Democrats all the time,”

@MassieforKY I tell it like it is. Here’s a group of lobbyists in DC who sell out farmers while pretending to support them. @BeefUSA supports electronic tags on livestock, opposes country of origin labeling, is against checkoff reform, & won’t lift a finger to help farmers sell beef locally.

@RepThomasMassie Last night, @SchmittNYC & I discussed the President’s proposal to purchase more beef from Argentina. The America First solution to rising beef prices is my bill, the PRIME Act. It would empower farmers to sell directly to consumers without corporate middlemen.

Joy Behar, a co-host on ABC’s “The View,” on Wednesday lauded Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) for standing up to the Trump administration. “He’s the one Republican that you can respect right now,” Behar told viewers.

FIRST ON FOX - A former longtime Navy SEAL and fifth-generation Kentucky farmer who is backed by President Donald Trump on Tuesday declared his candidacy in the state's 4th Congressional District, as he challenges Republican Rep. Thomas Massie in next year's GOP primary. "I’ve dedicated my life to serving my country, and I’m ready to answer the call again," Ed Gallrein said in a statement shared first with Fox News Digital. And pointing to Massie, a frequent GOP critic of the president during his second term in the White House, Gallrein emphasized, "This district is Trump Country. The President doesn’t...

@jack . @RepThomasMassie for president

@LeadingReport BREAKING: President Trump calls for Thomas Massie to be removed from Congress.

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

@RepThomasMassie First the British Ambassador lost his job and now the Prince lost his title. Don’t tell us there’s nothing in the Epstein files. The truth is coming out and we will not give up. Repost this and tag @SpeakerJohnson if you want him to quit delaying the vote.

President Donald Trump announced Friday that he is endorsing Navy SEAL Ed Gallrein to challenge Republican Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie. Trump has repeatedly criticized Massie in recent months, issuing a warning that he and his team would primary the Republican representative. In a lengthy Truth Social post, Trump called Massie a “Third Rate Congressman” and a “Weak and Pathetic RINO,” stating he must be “thrown out of office, ASAP” before announcing his endorsement of Gallrein. “The incredible people of Kentucky’s 4th Congressional District gave us a mandate to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, and the person that will help us do...

@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”

Candace Owens doesn’t agree with Trump getting a Nobel Peace Prize because the people of Gaza are in danger. She said : "And Trump wants a Nobel Peace Prize, by the way. For the planned ethnic cleansing so that they could profit on land and turn it into a beach town. So let me say this. This is our never again, okay? This is a Holocaust. A Holocaust just happened. A real Holocaust just happened. We will never forget this. You need to tell your children what happened in Gaza. You can tell them exactly who did it, exactly whose...

Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., has introduced H.R. 5704, the Repeal the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2013 in an effort to reestablish safeguards against government-led influence campaigns targeting Americans. The bill seeks to prohibit the domestic dissemination of U.S. government-funded media content intended for foreign audiences. The legislation would reverse a provision included in the 2013 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that lifted a decades-old ban on distributing State Department and U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM) content within the United States. "The Smith-Mundt Modernization Act opened the door for taxpayer-funded propaganda to be used against the American people," said Massie...

By Josh Hammer Newsweek senior editor-at-large and host, "The Josh Hammer Show" If one were dead set on dividing President Donald Trump's MAGA coalition at the seams, how would one proceed? Trying to drive a wedge through the immigration issue doesn't necessarily make sense: Tightening and securing America's borders is so core to the nationalist-populist MAGA project that there can be little room in the coalition for much dissent. Trying to divide MAGA along economic laissez-faire or populism lines is also doomed to fail: As important as pocketbook issues are to everyday Americans, the wonky details of fiscal policy generally...
