Independent. Follow the $. Smear campaigns distract from real issues. Censorship is a problem. Keep asking questions.

A reminder that the Constitution was not written to restrain the citizens' behavior.

It was written to restrain the government's behavior.

The planet's most fanatical Israel loyalists now own and control (or are about to) Paramount, CBS, TikTok, Warner Brothers, CNN: all acquired in the last two years by Netanyahu's close friend, Larry Ellison, right as public support for Israel in the US and the west collapses:

[Dr. Simon @goddek]

🚨NOW: Rep. Thomas Massie just stood on the House floor and named what every politician in DC has spent 58 years pretending did not happen

The USS Liberty. June 8, 1967.

34 dead American sailors. 174 wounded. Over 70% casualty rate on a virtually unarmed US ship.

25 minutes of Israeli jets, Israeli rockets, Israeli 30mm cannon fire, and ISRAELI NAPALM ON THE BRIDGE. Then Israeli torpedoes. Then Israel machine-gunned the lifeboats.

MASSIE: "They were intent on leaving no survivor."

Then the part nobody wants you to think about: the Saratoga and the America launched planes to help. The planes were RECALLED. The crew sat there bleeding for 17 hours.

Dean Rusk. Richard Helms. Admiral Moaner. The chief counsel of the Court of Inquiry himself. None of them believed the "mistaken identity" story.

And now you understand exactly why the entire DC machine and Israel lobby has spent the last year trying to primary this man out of existence.

You are not allowed to say the quiet part. He said it anyway.

Honor the crew. https://t.co/XuDLeFF4gJ.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

On June 8, 2026, I’ll speak on the floor of the House to honor and memorialize the brave crew of the 🇺🇸 USS Liberty who died and were wounded in an unprovoked attack by 🇮🇱 Israel on June 8, 1967. Catch my speech on @cspan.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

It’s all talk. Just withhold foreign aid to Israel for a month and they’ll stop bombing their neighbors - instant peace, the Strait of Hormuz can be opened, and gas drops $2 a gallon. Israel has been, and continues to be, the biggest welfare recipient from American tax payers.

Congress just dishonored every American veteran.

I served in the U.S. Marine Corps. I dedicated years of my life to this country, our way of life, and our beliefs. I lost friends. I watched wives hold their babies and choke back tears at my friends' funerals.

For that sacrifice, our country recognizes service members. They can proudly say "I served" and carry the title of Veteran.

Now Congress wants to grant that same recognition to service in a foreign military, for the sole benefit of that foreign country, in an ongoing military action being investigated for war crimes against civilians.

That cheapens every veteran's sacrifice. It undermines the honor of military service. And it dishonors this country.

Repost this. Americans need to know. Veterans need to know. The families of service members and veterans need to know. And Congress needs to know we are not ok with this.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

If the provision in the NDAA to integrate/synchronize the U.S. and Israeli militaries (section 224) makes it out of committee, I’ll offer an amendment to strip it from the bill on the floor.

We are a sovereign country.

We just said goodbye to our good friends Thomas and Carolyn Massie.

The civil war in the Republican Party is successfully gutting the true America Firsters, like myself, Thomas and others.

But I don’t think most Americans realize the extent of what’s happening, how bad it is, and what it’s going to produce.

After taking the hard principled stand against war with Iran in June 2025 and releasing the Epstein files, the neocon controlled Republican establishment now backed by the President set out to destroy us.

Thomas and I took two different routes but ended up in the same place, which delivered a message to our colleagues to never go against the President even on issues he himself promised to do and at the same time delivered the louder stronger message to the American people that no matter what they say on tv, rally stages, committee hearings, campaign ads, or stump speeches, Republicans and Trump have overwhelmingly rejected America First and will do anything possible to cut the head off of anyone who tries to fly its banner.

The extent and extremes to which they have gone should shock everyone.

For me, I was Trump’s loudest champion for years supporting him when no one else would, voting with him 98% of the time, and he called me a traitor for releasing the Epstein files, refusing to support war with Iran, and fighting against the White House’s bad policies that only serve their donors like a 10 year moratorium on state rights to regulate and make laws on AI and data centers.

And yet my perfect conservative voting record, legislative accomplishments like the House passing my articles of impeachment of Biden’s DHS Secretary that oversaw the invasion of our country, passing my bill making it a felony to trans children under 18, my work as DOGE Chair defunding waste fraud and abuse and so much more, suddenly meant nothing to low educated Republicans that are easily manipulated by bot armies and bought and paid for social media influencers that spread absurd lies about me.

After supporting the Republican Party by paying all of my dues to the NRCC every Congress, endorsing and campaigning for Republican candidates, and spending millions and traveling the country to get Trump elected, to be called a traitor and not a single Republican (even the ones I helped get elected like JD Vance and others) not to utter a word of public support for me, it became abundantly clear that the Republican Party is something I can no longer support and want nothing to do with.

None of my policy views have changed, but everything changed about the man I supported to be president and the party I supported to gain the majority.

They are all under full capture and control.

And if you refuse to be captured and controlled with them, then their captors will set out to kill you, and the party sits in silence while it happens.

What they just did to Thomas Massie is unforgivable. I saw it all coming early, had just watched my friend Charlie Kirk assassinated, and knew they were going to do all of it and probably worse to me too, so I refused to allow it to happen to me, my family, and my district, so I resigned.

But Thomas stayed in the fight and they slaughtered him with tens of millions of foreign donor dollars that fueled lies, slander, character assassination, and even broke their own laws to do it.

They told lies to Kentucky’s 4th district that Massie had turned into a liberal Democrat, voting for Democrat policies, and even made vicious lying illegal AI ads showing him in a sexual relationship with AOC and Ilhan Omar.

Even though ALL of it was horrific lies proven wrong with his own 14 year impeccable America First liberty driven voting record, naive older voters in his district were easily fooled by the AIPAC and Israel funded campaign lies, and voted for a new candidate who refused every single debate with Thomas Massie and has no voting record to prove what he stands for at all.

The capture is complete.

What will you do about it?

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

The Big Beautiful Bill contains a provision banning state & local governments from regulating AI.

It’s worse than you think.

It would make it easier for corporations to get zoning variances, so massive AI data centers could be built in close proximity to residential areas.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

The President’s Big Beautiful Bill, the Iran War, and Republican spending bills will create a $2 trillion budget DEFICIT in 2026.

Financing just the new debt costs more than all federal road & bridge projects, and we will be making those new interest payments each year, forever.

[Sharida @SharidaTX]

@normfinkelstein Disappointing. You would only come to that conclusion with a closed heart and mind.

[Mel @Villgecrazylady]

NGL I am fuming right now.

Candace Owens gave Norm Finkelstein a platform in November 2023 when she was still at the Daily Wire, when no other mainstream outlet would touch him.

Tucker Carlson took his camera into a Qatari hospital for Gaza’s war victims. Where no other mainstream media outlet would have dreamed to go.

MTG was retweeting Gaza Notifications from her *main* account as a sitting member of Congress. When so-called pro-Pal Democrats were posting bullshit platitudes from their secondary accounts like the cowards they are.

None of these people have ever asked for recognition or rewards for this advocacy. They simply did it because it was the right thing to do. And unlike Democrat activists whose profiles are mostly boosted by this advocacy, all of the people on the Right have faced mountains of criticism from the left, right and center for their advocacy.

So how fking dare Finkelstein, or ANYONE ELSE, accuse them of “sinister plots” now. How dare he. This is disgusting.

[Sharida @SharidaTX]

@simonmaechling Maybe figure out why the public distrusts our government and big pharma. Could it be that the public is constantly being deceived?

[Power to the People ☭🕊 @ProudSocialist]

Most Americans don’t realize these words are in the Declaration of Independence:

“That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government.”

We have the right to abolish a destructive government, and it is past time that we do it. There is no government on earth that is more destructive than the US government.

Both parties have spent decades using our government to enrich themselves and their corporate donors at our expense.

They turned our government into a money laundering operation for corporations, billionaires, Israel, and the war machine, and the result has been worse than destructive; it has been catastrophic for the people at home and abroad.

There is not a single thing our government does well for the people because its entire purpose is to serve the rich.

The United States was founded on a revolution, and if it is to survive, we are going to need another one; only this time a proletarian one.

[Anna Paulina Luna @realannapaulina]

Imagine how different social media would be if the US banned foreign influence campaign operations ($$$$) and/or required influencers to disclosure what country they are taking $ from.

[Sharida @SharidaTX]

@LauraLoomer @MaryBowdenMD Taken seriously? Dr. Bowden risked everything to stand up for what is right. She went against the narrative. You risk nothing...you understand that you are protected by a powerful foreign nation as long as you go along with their narratives.

[Dave Smith @ComicDaveSmith]

This community note is pretty rough

[Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_]

Tucker Carlson: “This is the saddest moment in a long time. It’s not just the death of Thomas Massie’s immediate political career. It’s obviously the death of MAGA, whatever that was. but it’s also of course the end of the Republican party. Nobody supports this”

[Thomas Massie for Congress @MassieforKY]

@tedcruz You wish I hadn’t pointed out that 95+% of my opponent’s funding came from the Israeli lobby, and millions of that came from a woman who has Israeli citizenship and served in the IDF?

Sorry for your feels Ted.
