I have more standup experience than most ex-hedge fund managers.
Hey @dbongino now that the files are out can you share with us the part that proved Epstein killed himself?
You said you saw the files and knew for a fact he killed himself. Surely, you weren’t lying through your fucking teeth.
Hey if u were wondering who the last non-lizard in government is, it’s this guy. Anyone against him is in on it or merely dumb shit cattle.
Congressman Thomas Massie on Epstein Files Transparency Act Release Dead... https://t.co/AUi554q4QS via @YouTube
President Trump has signed an order reclassifying marijuana from Schedule I (heroin, LSD) to Schedule III (Tylenol, Ketamine)
It has medical purposes. This was the right thing to do.
After months of fighting and disparaging my Epstein legislation, now that my discharge petition has succeeded, @SpeakerJohnson says he tried to pass the law by unanimous consent.
If that’s so, he should have no problem voting YEA next week. Listen to his own words:
As a member of the Kentucky General Assembly who worked directly on the legislation that established our commonwealth’s hemp regulatory framework, I am deeply disappointed to see Congress attempting to undo years of careful, bipartisan work to build a responsible hemp market in Kentucky.
For the past several years, our commonwealth has led the nation in crafting sensible policies that protect consumers and support Kentucky farmers. We put in place strict testing, labeling, and packaging requirements. We established age limits and product safety standards. We listened to parents, law enforcement, and small business owners and we struck a balance between market access and public safety.
Now, the U.S. House of Representatives is considering legislation that would disregard all that progress to take us back to prohibition—a policy that is proven not to work.
By working to criminalize Kentucky-grown and regulated hemp products, Congress is not protecting children. They are punishing farmers, entrepreneurs, and consumers who have played by the rules. This move represents the worst kind of Washington overreach, a top-down, one-size-fits-all mandate that erases the work of state leaders who have already addressed their own issues.
Kentucky’s hemp farmers trusted our federal delegation when they championed the 2018 Farm Bill. They invested their livelihoods in this industry. Our state legislature took that foundation and built a successful regulatory model that has been implemented by other states.
I am grateful for the courageous effort that Senator Rand Paul put forth to try to remove these problematic provisions in the Senate. Likewise, Congressman Thomas Massie has always been a strong advocate for the Hemp Industry, having filed the Industrial Hemp Farming Act dating back to 2013.
We’ve come so far and it would be an egregious mistake to destroy the progress. I urge Congress to withdraw this misguided language, meet with the farmers and small business owners they’re putting at risk, and work with the states— not against them— to build the clear, consistent federal standards this industry deserves.
Kentucky got hemp right. Washington shouldn’t be trying to ruin it.
