Thomas Massie pushed for the release of the Epstein files, and the response has been tens of millions in outside spending, smear campaigns, and coordinated attacks. If this is what they do to a sitting member of Congress, imagine what Epstein survivors face when considering whether to come forward.

This isn’t new, but it is absurd. Trump announced Kushner’s nomination to be a special envoy in February, which meant Kushner had to file a public financial disclosure within 30 days of his appointment. He’s way overdue, and leaving the public in the dark.

The embedded video shows Rachel Maddow interviewing Ossoff on MSNBC, with a chyron reading "Sen. Ossoff on Trump Family Corruption: 'They're Crooks.'"

I sent a classified letter to House and Senate colleagues about a secret interpretation of surveillance law that every American should be concerned about. Representative Massie is right. The Constitution requires EVERY member to vote against a clean reauthorization.

A tweet from Representative Thomas Massie that reads:

I just viewed 2 Top Secret FISA docs.
1) FISA Court opinion that raises serious concerns about FBI implementation of FISA 702.
2) letter by Senator Wyden describing a secret government interpretation of FISA law.
The Constitution requires I vote No on FISA 702 reauthorization.
