    Is it abnormal for Thomas Massie to speak up? If so that’s significant. If he’s retiring, not so much. They always attempt to grow a spine when they know they will be away from danger.

      Massie teamed up with Dem Khanna(sp?) to get the Epstein file bill snuck into a House vote. Whatever else he’s done wrong, he’s been solidly focused on getting this shit public for a while.

      While it is absolutely true what you’re saying about the miraculous post-retirement regenerative power of vestigial Republican spines, strangely enough Massie’s on the right side of Epstein and has been all along.

      Is it abnormal for Thomas Massie to speak up?

      Not on Epstein. I don’t know anything about Massie’s other voting history, but on Epstein the orange chancre has threatened him directly more than once, and he has never backed down. Without Massie and the other Rs who crossed the aisle, EFTA would not have passed.
