Why Thomas Massie Lost
Thomas Massie’s political career deserved a far more dignified ending than the one it got Tuesday night. For north of a decade, Rep. Massie (R-KY) was one of only a handful of members of Congress willing to consistently challenge both parties on spending, surveillance, executive overreach, and the growth of the administrative state. When most Republicans buried their heads in the sand, Massie warned about deficit spending, the national debt, and Congress surrendering its legislative authority to unelected bureaucrats.
