🚨This morning we reached the required 218 signatures on my discharge petition for Epstein Files Transparency Act II !
I’m working closely with @RepJayapal, @RepTeresaLF and @RepRoKhanna to get this to the floor for a vote soon.
Thank you to all of our veterans! This is a picture of my grandfather and his three brothers who served during WW2. My late Pap-paw Massie is the gentleman on the right. #VeteransDay
Breaking News: The House is now bringing up Congressman Massie’s Articles of Impeachment against Secretary Hegseth. A procedural vote to derail it by referring it to committee is expected around 5:30.

I joined @kaitlancollins on CNN’s The Source last night to explain why I brought forth Articles of Impeachment against @SecWar Pete Hegseth.
Some argue Hegseth has been effective. I would agree. He’s been effective at breaking the law and violating the Constitution.
In case you missed it, yesterday, I introduced and read Articles of Impeachment against @SecWar Hegseth. Today, the House will take the first procedural vote on these articles.
I’ve heard from several members they agree with some of the Articles of Impeachment but not all of them.
If the motion to kill my resolution by referring it to committee fails, and we proceed to the Articles themselves, I’ll request a vote on each of the Articles separately.
IMPEACHMENT, Article III
The law requires our military to withdraw from hostilities within 60 days if Congress does not authorize the activity.
Operation Epic Fury has been underway for 256 days. Congress has not authorized it.
Hegseth is breaking the law.
Not even debatable.
Today the House will vote on the Hegseth Impeachment Resolution. The first vote will be on a procedural motion to kill the resolution such as motion to “refer to committee.” If we can overcome that effort, we will proceed to a real debate and vote on the Articles of Impeachment.
Oops, now he needs to rewrite his speech
"I hope Hegseth addresses the 8 articles of impeachment, & doesn‘t get up & misquote the Bible in Quentin Tarantino fashion & do some pull-ups & call everybody fat & gay. I may have just given you half his speech”
Tonight at 9PM ET, I will join @kaitlancollins on CNN's The Source to discuss my articles of impeachment against Secretary Hegseth and news of the day.
Tune in!
Breaking News: Congressman Thomas Massie is reading Articles of Impeachment against @SecWar Pete Hegseth on the House floor now.
Watch here: youtube.com/live/3EmwC0QQ8f8…
At approximately 3:30 PM ET, immediately following my reading of the Articles of Impeachment, I will hold a press conference at the House Triangle.
I’ve seen some of my colleagues say @SecWar Hegseth has been effective and they agree with the war, so they’ll vote not to impeach.
That’s not the question though. The question is whether he committed impeachable acts, and the answer is yes, eight times:

Today, my staff and I hosted Interview Day for U.S. Service Academy applicants from Kentucky's 4th District.
My interview panel (panelists pictured below) use their expertise to pick the most qualified and dedicated candidates. I wish each of the applicants the best.
“The Kentucky congressman never abandoned the old MAGA message from his original Trump endorsement. He refused. For that reason, Trump teamed with pro-Israel billionaires to defeat Massie in his primary this May—the most expensive House primary in U.S. history.”

Hey @grok, did F-35 military jets momentarily do a flyover of the Epstein press conference in DC and drown out the survivors and their supporters who were trying to speak?
If Trump’s going to replace appointees like Hegseth, he should do it while he can still get the replacements confirmed in the Senate.
Also, my Hegseth impeachment resolution is a much gentler version of what’s coming when Dem’s control Congress. They’ll have hearings & trials.
Trump told me this morning he intends to keep Pete Hegseth as Defense Secretary:
“I have every intention to keep him.”
Trump acknowledged receiving calls from people unhappy with Hegseth, but said, “I get these calls, you know, about him. I don't understand why.”
He also acknowledged it would be easier to confirm a new Defense Secretary before the Democrats take over the Senate in January.
When we return next week, we’ll get 218 signatures for Epstein Files Transparency Act II, which guarantees a vote.
Survivors will be able to get their own records, State Attorneys General can prosecute crimes, and we can take the DOJ to court for keeping critical files hidden.⚖️
the chickens came home to roost
"Republicans broke almost every promise they made."
Thomas Massie says he was removed from Congress because he exposed the Republican Party's failure to honour campaign promises. He points to the Epstein files, the pledge to avoid new foreign wars and promises to cut government spending as commitments he tried to enforce through legislation.
