Representative Thomas Massie (R-KY) is one of the good guys. In fact, he’s one of the very few members of Congress who believes what he says about limited government, individual freedom, and the U.S. Constitution. If you support these things, you’ll support Thomas...
Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX) tweeted on May 4, 2026: For nearly six decades the U.S. has voluntarily remained in the dark on Israel's nuclear capabilities. The ambiguity ends now. There is too much at stake to accept ignorance. We are at war alongside Israel against...
