Yesterday, Congressman Thomas Massie, perhaps the last Republican in the entire party with any guts, did something that should be routine in a functioning democracy.
Excellent post, Mike. It’s a shame that more people with an audience do not speak out loudly about the pathetic Speaker Johnson. The angst that I have is that he probably gets voted back in because his constituents do not vote to have effective representation. Stay on the case!
Congressman Thomas Massie is a rock star, saying the quiet part out loud: "Hegseth is a tool for Trump" and nothing more. Hegseth will have a reckoning coming lead by regular Americans who have had enough of this demented administration.
Tillis is leaving and still he voted for Todd Blanche. He could have gone out a hero but he didn't want to lose the money he could make after leaving congress.
I agree with what you wrote Mike. It's an embarrassment with the way the government is being run, or I should probably say, not being run. The more things go on, the more important it is to make sure to vote in November and vote more Democrats in to make a huge blue wave at the midterms. 💙💙🌊🌊
Color me enraged at the Democrats. They reviewed his resume, saw he was ousted from both Vets for Freedom and Concerned Veterans for America over allegations of severe financial mismanagement and alcoholism—yet they voted to confirm him anyway. Then, they sat idly by while he ordered a double-tap strike on that sinking Venezuelan vessel.
Thank you Thom Massie for being the only person to stand up. Sigh.
Thomas Massie has two things that will remain high points in his career: 1) he has and still stands with the Epstein survivors. He has personally listened to their stories and is still doing his best to pass the Epstein Transparency Act II. 2) trying to get kegsbreath impeached and I understand completely why he did it this way. Trump wanted voting for both Transparency II and the impeachment stopped and Maga mike GRINDR Johnson complied. Remember many months ago when trump announced he had two jobs, President and Speaker of the House? That was one of the few truths to spew from his mouth. Mike, I am glad you are still reporting about McConnell and the Tates. Dropping these stories is what they want us to do.
Thomas massie and those like him have lost the fight, now they are angry because the majority of American Citizens have chosen to expell them from their govt jobs! this was nassies last ditch attempt to be pernicious. he lost. these democrat socalist, islamist, mudlim, marxist politicians and others like them are the enemy of our U.S.A. Constitutional Republican govt.
What more needs to be said about the lunacy going on in this administration? So now nothing will get done since Johnson recessed Congress. If these bums want to commit suicide, we shouldn't stop them.
Trump’s administration is more like the land of misfit idiots. He’s the chief of them. They need to go. I can’t wait until they get voted out.
Mike Johnson is the worse

It's about Hegseth AND Epstein revelations.
There are many incompetents in the Trump administration - the only qualification is to be a Trump sycophant, but Hegseth is one of the worst :

Well said.
Tillis might be included sometimes. He's lame duck and has stood up. ITM let's not forget Epstein and trumps' victims
Tillis is leaving and still he voted for Todd Blanche. He could have gone out a hero but he didn't want to lose the money he could make after leaving congress.
Yeah, a few defiant acts does not absolve him of his record, but it does point to the effect of public pressure working on him.
Everyone who voted for Blanche hates America. Simple
Uhm... 'bestiality' Mike? Hard to think about, let alone type correctly. 'BESTIALITY' sounds like a good thing. 😉
Mike, I don't think this could be said much better -- thanks!
Spineless little wimps in the house taking vacations again to avoid even talking about the $hit show happening to Americans without our consent!

No Democrat voted to confirm Blanche.
Thank you for coloring me wrong, Betsy!

I'm glad you are doing these newsletters. The more people that hear about these actions.
