This is very, very ominous. I have been all over this country (USA) and I can tell you, for sure, that when I was in Idaho and Colorado, that it felt like being in an entirely different species compared to Mississippi or Louisiana...
All the hate coming from Republicans against @RepThomasMassie means Reagan's Republican Party is dead. We now have the most left wing Republican Party in history. Democrats will move even further left to compete. This is a political death spiral. Got Gold?
More money is being spent to defeat @RepThomasMassie than any other U.S. House member in history.
Not because he can single-handedly change legislative outcomes—he has just one vote.
But because he exposes the lies and corruption of those who hold political and financial power.
@RealPlantBrah Yeah, I understood what you meant. It's not a discrimination thing - it's a "I'm not going to take advantage of these people by paying them 50-70% less than their peers just because they don't know any better"
It's called being a good human and neighbor in your community. 🤝
As a former Army Ranger, I've served with some of America's most elite soldiers. Like them, Thomas Massie has the moral clarity and courage to do what's necessary under pressure. Thanks Kentucky for sending one of your best men to Congress!
Thomas Massie will never fail to do what he has said he would do. He is dependable, faithful, and proven. Please vote for Thomas Massie!
I've known @RepThomasMassie well for 10 years. I was with him when he mourned, with him as a speaker at Freedom Fest, was at his wedding. Thomas Massie is a genuinely good man.
I normally stay out of political drama, but since I was the “friend in Savannah” Cynthia referenced, I feel obligated to speak honestly about what I personally witnessed.
Thomas and Cynthia visited my home in Savannah after the passing of his wife. From my recollection, it had only been a few months, and he was clearly heartbroken and grieving. I specifically remember conversations by the pool where he talked about how deeply the loss affected him. He did not come across as someone acting recklessly or maliciously. He was kind to Cynthia, respectful, and they appeared happy together at the time.
I also personally knew Cynthia was going through a very difficult divorce during that period and was unhappy with her legal representation. To my recollection, the $5,000 Thomas gave or lent her was related to helping her obtain a different attorney during that divorce situation — not “hush money.”
Separately, Cynthia had ongoing workplace complaints involving Rep. Spartz’s office that she discussed long before any of this current public controversy. From what I understood at the time, those issues were about what she described as a toxic work environment and had nothing to do with Thomas.
I am not speaking on politics, campaigns, or what may or may not be happening behind the scenes. I can only speak to what I personally observed. Based on my own experience around both of them, the timing of these allegations — one week before an election — feels very strange to me.
People can draw their own conclusions, but I felt it was important to share firsthand context instead of speculation.
It’s sad that a week before this election people are making false and unsubstantiated allegations about me in an obvious attempt to influence the outcome of this election.
All of the claims of inappropriate conduct are false. I’ve never offered anyone money in exchange for their silence. I report all of my farm income, including cash, to the IRS.
There are no ethics claims filed against me, nor have there ever been any claims filed against me in my 14 years in office. I have consulted legal counsel and we are considering all options.
@pestctrlguy This is a good one. Personally, in my day to day, if no trips are planned I like 6-6s. Be productive but also take care of progress on our land.
If I was a factory bro, either 4-10s or 3-12s
the GLP-1 discourse around weight loss is weird because I went from a lifetime of food & alcohol addiction to freedom on the lowest dose. I used to eat until I felt sick. I used to wake up on the weekends & want to start drinking immediately. all that noise is gone.
so frankly I don’t care how I’m perceived. these drugs are a miracle & weight loss is the tip of the iceberg.
I take Zepbound. I've lost about 100 pounds and am no longer prediabetic. If you don't like that, you may want to do some introspection as to why you don't want someone to improve their health. I don't care what anyone else thinks of it and neither should you.
I'm going to quote @NYCTheMiC here - "the only thing that matters is playoffs" or something like that. Nobody cares that a team did well in the regular season. It's a qualifier. That's it.
Listen, the NHL’s playoff format is awful. Teams like Montreal, Tampa Bay, Minnesota, and Dallas all had amazing regular seasons, and two not advancing past the first round feels wrong.
However, the NHL has made the first round of the playoffs 10x more entertaining with these 2v3 division series. #NHLPlayoffs
@RealPlantBrah I have mowed my grass every year since March, weekly.
We have a gazillion fireflies/lightning bugs every year.
You know the lawn apps contribute way more to the loss of insects than cutting grass, yeah?
