@RepThomasMassie reminds me of President James Garfield. Watch "Death by Lightning" on Netflix and it will make sense.
He was a dark horse nominee in 1880 when he had no intention of running for President.
He was also a fiscal conservative who advocated for sound money backed by gold.
He didn't intend to run for President, as that was not his goal, but he rose to the occasion when the people called him to it.
I think we'd be served well if the same happened with Massie, despite the fact that so many people will hiss at the idea.
The reality is that we're likely going to get JD or Rubio if not him, which would likely have no discernible difference from what we have now.
Obviously much can change between now and then, but I think people would eventually realize he has right policies and he would follow through on his promises.
As I see it, if we have another candidate willing to keep selling out to a foreign power, the right will lose and so will all the ideals that come with it.
Perhaps with no chance of return.
Thomas Massie says there are three possibilities for @DraftMassie 2028:
1. Run in the Republican Party
2. Run Independent, or
3. Take over the Libertarian Party to rebrand it as the American Liberty Party
He says nothing is off the table and he's going to explore data on each

Bombshell story. The spy narrative is collapsing already.
Is there clear & convincing evidence that Alice Huang was a Chinese spy?
- AG says no. (“no conclusions reached”).
- CIA says no. (“not yet convinced”).
- DNI says no (“not entirely accurate and over-torqued”).
- Ranking Democrat on House Intelligence (incoming Chairman) says no. (“today, at least, I don’t know”). This was immediately after he was briefed.
Who argues otherwise? Anonymous officials tell CNN “it strains credulity to believe that she was not acting as an agent of the Chinese government — simply by virtue of the fact that she is a successful Chinese businesswoman working with one of America’s most powerful companies.”
This is their proof after a year of investigating and surveillance? That she was a “successful Chinese businesswoman”?
At this point, the only crime that we know for sure happened is the leaking of the classified memo. Who did that and why?
An investigation should be opened.
News: The US intel community is still working to understand the relationship between a Chinese businesswoman who had an affair with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and the Chinese government, with multiple sources telling CNN that the intelligence collected on her to date does not prove that she was acting as a spy for Beijing.

Jensen is a friend & legend. But he was not a one man show. He built an exceptional company of 42k people (31k in R&D alone) led by brilliant leaders like Jonah, Arjun, Sameer, Ashish, Gilad, Andrew, Dwight, Deb, Jeff, Ian, Colette, etc (look them up on Claude) - they run the key parts of the business day in and day out that makes Nvidia, Nvidia.
These are the unsung heroes who help architect & do the daily impossible work to deliver the most sophisticated AI products in the world that have put America in the lead at this critical moment in time.
That didn’t change today. Despite the noise - they showed up to deliver the Blackwell & Rubin GPUs & Vera CPUs that power the world. And are following the same playbook to make sure they deliver the fully baked Rubin Ultra in 2027 & Feynman in 2028 ahead of expectations.
And no better interim leader than Colette Kress who knows every nook & cranny of the business. She will make the trains run on time; allocate capital to its highest & best use; and provide the steady hand that the business needs to make important decisions.
Not spinning this as happy or good news - just offering a dose of realism. Silicon Valley is not run by 10 rock stars. Founders are essential but the great ones attract legends in their own right who compound the magic. Thousands of people driven by a mission bigger than all of us. And nowhere is that more true than Nvidia. 🇺🇸🦾🚀
Jim Cramer says interim Nvidia CEO Colette Kress runs things with a 'steel fist' and is 'absolutely the one you need right now'
“She is someone who has been leading the calls. Colette’s been my contact person other than Jensen for years. Colette runs a conference call. By the way, Colette runs with a steel fist. I will tell you that.”
“She’s no-nonsense, and she is absolutely the one that you need right now because she has the bearing. She will accept no nonsense.”

Almost like it is a bad idea to get entangled in foreign wars...
Theses on the Iran War
1) Congressional approval never would have been given.
2) This very scenario of stalemate in which Iran’s regime was fully engaged and in which our government was restrained by negative public opinion would have been seen as the likeliest outcome.
3) There is no good way out which is why people are discussing truly insane options.

🇺🇸🇮🇱 Israel wants to make U.S military support impossible to unravel, and Congress is helping make it happen
Americans are increasingly questioning billions in military aid to Israel.
But Drop Site News co-founder Ryan Grim warns that a far bigger arrangement is taking shape behind the scenes.
Instead of sending Israel billions in visible foreign aid, Washington could effectively bury that support inside America's military-industrial complex.
Ryan points to Section 219 of the National Defense Authorization Act, which he says would deepen the integration of American and Israeli defence industries.
And he argues that this is precisely the point.
Make the relationship so deeply embedded that voters can no longer easily challenge it.
Ryan says Netanyahu has openly backed the approach as an alternative to the existing ten-year military aid agreement.
Meanwhile, Ryan says AIPAC's supposed retreat from political fundraising is being wildly misrepresented.
The organisation may be ending certain direct contributions and public endorsements, but its fundraising operations and powerful super PAC remain.
And Democrats are still feeling the pressure.
Ryan highlights lawmakers who missed a crucial vote against Pete Hegseth after attending an AIPAC-linked event involving defence industry lobbyists.
The public wants accountability, but Washington's political machinery keeps protecting the same interests.

Speaker of the House crashing out when asked about our new EFTA-II bill that will allow State Attorneys General to prosecute Epstein’s coconspirators, give survivors access to their files, and force the DOJ to release files they’re illegally withholding.

Jensen Huang founded NVIDIA when I was one year old and he’s led it ever since to becoming the highest valuation company in the world and a MASSIVE boon to the American economy.
His ousting should be investigated as an act of corporate espionage by the Israelis.
Imagine if Russia did that to the CEO of Amazon and then put in a new Russian CEO.
No big deal.

I was one of five Republicans who signed a discharge petition to get a vote on the Major Richard Star Act.
The Act passed the House today and now goes to the Senate. This brings veterans who were medically retired one step closer to receiving full benefits without an offset.

🇺🇸🇮🇱 Trump said the aid to Israel was ending... Congress is lining up $16.5 billion more
America is $40 trillion in debt and short on interceptors, and Congress is about to renew Israel's aid deal for another 5 years with $500 million extra for weapons research.
Ana Kasparian of The Young Turks says voters punished Republicans for the war, and the winners are already acting like nothing changed.
Her example is Tuesday night, when the Hegseth impeachment died after 11 Democrats didn't show up to vote.
She put the question to both parties:
"We are $40 trillion in debt. Why are we funding that country in any way, shape or form?"
Ana expects the package to pass, and she says Democrats who ran on change will get the same treatment from voters that Republicans just got.

🇺🇸🇮🇱 Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin followed Sen. Fetterman around, shouting at him about Israel.
Fetterman turned around and asked:
“Why do you people support Hamas so much?”
Bruh, being critical of Israel is not the same as being in favor of Hamas...

It's a damn shame to lose one of the few principled lawmakers in Congress. The man just won't let up and I love it.
🚨This morning we reached the required 218 signatures on my discharge petition for Epstein Files Transparency Act II !
I’m working closely with @RepJayapal, @RepTeresaLF and @RepRoKhanna to get this to the floor for a vote soon.

IMPEACHMENT, Article III
The law requires our military to withdraw from hostilities within 60 days if Congress does not authorize the activity.
Operation Epic Fury has been underway for 256 days. Congress has not authorized it.
Hegseth is breaking the law.
Not even debatable.

President Trump has 2 more years to recover from the midterms. He should start now by getting out of the Iran war & removing everyone who advocated for it.
The neocons have damaged our nation & the GOP, as they did under Bush. Now is the time to remove them.

Your AOL email address was promised to someone else 3,000 years ago.
Folks, I have spent literally the entire day trying to get someone at AOL to unlock my email. For the last eight hours, I have been told that the issue has been escalated to supervisors who would contact me. I haven't heard a thing.
You would think that, since I'm one of the last human beings on the face of the Earth still using AOL, they would take care of this. You'd be wrong.
So, once this gets resolved, hopefully before the next presidential election, I'm dropping them. (I kept them this long out of convenience, but now I have no reason to keep them.)
I'll see you on the radio at 6 p.m., at which time I will address this further.
