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...

Rep. Thomas Massie (RINO-KY )’s attempt to sabotage the Trump Administration over the J6 pipe bomb investigation completely blew up in his face when FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino responded. As TGP readers know, we’ve been told for years that an unidentified suspect, approximately 5’7, planted pipe bombs at the RNC and DNC headquarters on January 5, the night before the Capitol riot. But the FBI still can’t find the person who planted the bombs. On Wednesday, Massie claimed he received a “troubling letter” which accused the FBI of retaliating against a whistleblower regarding the pipe bomb investigation. Specifically, the...

Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul said he would oppose a package that would end the shutdown because it closes a loophole that has enabled the proliferation of widely available intoxicating hemp products, hurting a growing industry in his state. “I detest the tactics that are being used to try to get this ban enacted into law,” Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) told POLITICO. “Kentucky benefits from hemp production, and I fully support Senator Rand Paul’s efforts to strip the unrelated hemp ban from the Senate funding bill.” The new Senate language would restrict the amount of intoxicating cannabinoids that can be in...

Barstool Sports President Dave Portnoy said in an interview with "CBS Sunday Morning" that he's experiencing daily antisemitism — a shift, he said, from the occasional hateful comments that he used to get. "It's every day now. Like, there's a definitive shift in what's going on," Portnoy told Tony Dokoupil in an interview that will air next Sunday. On Friday, Portnoy was recording a "One Bite" pizza review in Mississippi when someone yelled an antisemitic comment at him. His interview with Dokoupil was taped before the incident, but their conversation touched on a recent rise in hateful comments. Portnoy said...

Viewing Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) as out of step with the MAGA agenda, President Donald Trump has backed the Kentucky MAGA PAC, which plans to oppose Massie in the primary. The PAC, led by Chris LaCivita and Tony Fabrizio, has vowed to spend whatever it takes to unseat Massie. A John McLaughlin poll shows 52% support a Trump-endorsed candidate versus 23% for Massie.

Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., whose wife passed away last year, announced that he legally remarried last month and then had a celebration with friends and relatives this past weekend.

@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...
