I think Massie is the one member of Congress who has thus far done more tangible things to get the Epstein files released and otherwise defy Trump than just about any other member.

What kind of ineffectual asswipe jumps on campaign fundraising a week after the election? What the fuck do you even need funds for right now, Hakeem? If you just did the fucking job and then listed all the stuff you got done, you wouldn't even have to think about fundraising.

I think it's more a case of trying to do it before this one escapes.

I don't know, but I think I might hibernate soon until then

Yep, they really are a basket of deplorables aren't they?

Not if he can drum up enough support within his own party

He won't have that option since he was primaried for defying Trump on releasing the Epstein files. These are his last days in congress.

Yeah, he was one of the last few republicans who hadn't bought in fully to the trump cult-of-personality.

The simple fact that he got primaried just goes to show how hopeless and irrecoverable that entire party is. The rot permeates republicanism at all levels.

Maybe some voters still think there's such a thing as a "moderate republican," but they're either lying to themselves or they live under a rock in blissful ignorance.

He isn't an ally of any sort, but he does seem to be the last principled Republican. I'm sure his career is not over.

Strategic harm reduction, maybe 😉

Can't stop the tide from rolling in 🎶

Seems like it would just be better for hegseth if they pushed this through before the new reps are seated.
