Massie wrote on X that Republican leaders were canceling Congress to avoid the impeachment vote against Secretary Hegseth.

“It will also make it harder for us to reach 218 signatures on the Epstein Discharge Petition before the election. We were at 190+ signatures last night,”

Massie continued on X, noting the schedule change would hinder efforts to gather signatures on the Epstein Discharge Petition before the election.

“Secretary Hegseth abused the powers entrusted to him as secretary of defence by subordinating the constitutional limits on the use of military force and the laws governing the conduct of hostilities to his own policy objectives,”

Massie attributed his primary election loss to his vote against debt-driving policies.

“$4,000 per year per American. That’s how much interest we are paying on the debt to banks & foreign countries every year. A family of four owes $16,000 per year for nothing but interest on the debt!”

Massie discussed the per-person cost of interest payments on the national debt.

“When I invented the debt badge, the national debt was just over $31 trillion,”

Massie referenced the debt badge pin he created to track the national debt in real time.

“And if people believe that whole deal was off, that Trump and the Republicans aren’t going to do that anymore, then they’re going to be apathetic and disengaged in the midterms.”

Rep. Thomas Massie warned of political consequences in the midterms if Republicans do not pursue the Epstein files.

“The Epstein files are symbolic of what energized MAGA, which was this notion that you could give Republicans both majorities and put Donald Trump in the White House, and this group of people that were so powerful and so rich that they couldn’t be touched by the law or by the judicial system, would finally get exposed,”

Rep. Thomas Massie explained why releasing the Epstein files is an important issue for the MAGA movement.
