Thomas Massie

Thomas Harold Massie (born January 13, 1971) is an American politician and engineer. A member of the Republican Party, Massie has been the United States representative for Kentucky's 4th congressional district since 2012. The district covers much of northeastern Kentucky, but is dominated by the Kentucky side of the Cincinnati area and Louisville's eastern suburbs. Before joining Congress, Massie was judge-executive of Lewis County, Kentucky, from 2011 to 2012. He also founded a startup company based in Massachusetts, where he previously graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Massie has been described as a libertarian Republican and a member of the Tea Party movement, which backed his candidacy for Congress in 2012. Massie has become a regular critic of President Donald Trump during Trump's second administration, notably in relation to the release of the Epstein files, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, and U.S. military action abroad. Trump has since solicited a primary challenge against Massie in 2026.

• 'You're Going to See More Defections': Thomas Massie's Ominous ...

  I think six months ago, nobody ever thought we would be where we are now. I mean, we have 3 million files released. We do have some evidence that at least at some point the government thought there were co-conspirators, that Jeffrey Epstein trafficked women to other men. So that’s a victory right now. And things are unfolding. If you look at the overall pace over the last six months, the pace has actually picked up, it hasn’t slowed down. [...] The margin is razor-thin, so on any given day, I would just need one or two of my own co-conspirators to get something done. And what’s happening is that the retirement caucus is growing and primary days are coming up and passing. Once we get past March, April and May, which contain a large portion of their Republican primaries, I think you’re going to see more defections. [...] ## Most Read 1. Democrats’ struggles could be partly because they’re just too old, says Obama 2. Massie says he’s lost confidence in Pam Bondi after congressional hearing 3. In South Texas, the GOP immigration hard line is now political kryptonite 4. Trump derides Newsom and calls his UK deal 'inappropriate' 5. Trump wants the Fed to cut rates. Kevin Warsh has bigger plans. Why has that sentiment changed in this term, and not as much in the first term?
