Trump just spent $33 million to destroy a republican who pushed for the epstein files release. massie's concession speech was the most honest thing said in american politics in years. and nobody is talking about what he said about the ballroom.
i want to be upfront thomas massie is a republican who disagreed with trump on almost everything. this isn't about taking sides.
but what happened last night in kentucky deserves more attention than it's getting.
trump spent $33 million the most expensive house primary in american history to remove one congressman.
why? because massie:
pushed for the epstein files to be released when trump didn't want them out
voted against trump's "one big beautiful bill"
called the iran war unconstitutional
voted against foreign aid including to israel
and he won every single one of those fights. the epstein files got released. it's now law.
then last night, in his concession speech, massie said this:
"there is a yearning in this country for someone who will vote for principles over party. you all don't like bullies and you don't tolerate them."
he also went after the ballroom while gas is $5 a gallon and diesel is $6, trump is on fox news talking about a ballroom. massie said it looks like "the roman empire" and he sees "a few analogies there."
i put together the full breakdown of what massie actually stood for, why trump hated him so much, and what this loss means for anyone left in congress willing to say no to the president.

is there anyone left in washington willing to vote their conscience over their career?
