Mitch McConnell, Thomas Massie and other lawmakers will represent Kentucky at Donald Trump's second inauguration.

Thomas Massie, Kentucky’s libertarian firebrand, makes a strong impression with his passionate stance for small government, but are his strongly held convictions crossing the line into something entirely darker?

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) has been removed from the House Rules Committee after being the lone vote against Speaker Mike Johnson's (R-La.) reelection. Why it matters: Massie's departure from the influential panel could make it easier for Johnson to get legislation to the House floor.

Catturd, a prominent right-wing influencer on X, hinted he may bring a defamation lawsuit against Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) after intense feuding erupted over the libertarian-leaning lawmaker dubbing Catturd and another major account “nenarded paid influencers.”

One week after Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) stood as the only House Republican not to vote for Trump-endorsed House Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana for re-election, news outlets reported that the conservative libertarian was “removed” from the House Rules Committee.

The Republican’s predecessor had stocked the influential Rules Committee with conservatives. It looks different now.

Massie was the sole Republican who voted against House Speaker Mike Johnson's re-election in early January. The House Republican Conference in a closed door meeting voted on a new committee roster that didn't include Massie, according to Axios.

Even Richard Nixon was honorable enough that he ordered the flag at half-staff for his own inauguration. Not Trump.
