Could Thomas Massie (or anybody) lead the Libertarian Party after it is rebranded into the American Liberty Party, and win the presidency in 2028? Unless there is a huge influx of billionaire donors, (cough- @elonmusk cough- @NicoleShanahan) probably not. But why should being President be the first goal? Maybe getting a 3rd (actually 2nd) party into a debate stage and triggering the 5% threshold for funding future elections should be the first step. People get hung up on Presidential politics only because we’ve made the President way too important. Putting America First candidates in the House and Senate are equally important. If you believe there is a chance that the country will improve via voting, why keep trying Hail Marys with no arm or receivers? The ground game will be where yards are gained. If I had to plan it, I’d have these goals: 1- quickly recruit enough America First voters into the LP to officially rebrand 2- Attract quality candidates (Draft Massie for President) and build a simple popular platform. 3- Run (Massie) for President in 2028 knowing the goal is qualification for debates and funding. 4- Build local and State campaigns in areas that aren’t contested, or have 2 unpopular R&D choices that are winnable. 5- focus on future Presidential campaigns and educating the public on what 34% in a 3 way race can accomplish. If you’re not a fan of the idea of liberty folks running 3rd party, what do you think the odds are of effectively changing the Republican or Democratic Party for the better?

Impeach him again
"All visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect at all times!" A Sentinel at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier yells after laughter could be heard from a group near Secretary Hegseth, who was taking posed photographs at the site.

But did you know Taxation is theft?
I've been using X for 14 years, and I'm only just discovering that you can take a screenshot of a tweet directly from the Copy Link option. 😂

Maybe he’s so grumpy because of all the loud screeches before he logs in to X every 15 minutes.
Folks, I have spent literally the entire day trying to get someone at AOL to unlock my email. For the last eight hours, I have been told that the issue has been escalated to supervisors who would contact me. I haven't heard a thing. You would think that, since I'm one of the last human beings on the face of the Earth still using AOL, they would take care of this. You'd be wrong. So, once this gets resolved, hopefully before the next presidential election, I'm dropping them. (I kept them this long out of convenience, but now I have no reason to keep them.) I'll see you on the radio at 6 p.m., at which time I will address this further.

11 Democrats including Pelosi saved Hegseth. Why? Possibly because they are financially better off when hawks are doing their thing. Or maybe because he’ll continue with an unpopular war that will help Democrats in the long term. Or maybe they agree with Pete. You decide

Free Brian Cole
🚨"Mom says I'm an extreme introvert."🚨 - Watch this new 2-minute cut of Brian Cole Jr. that @accabbat put together for me. Every aspect of his unique behavior leaps off the screen. The "shondels," the tag on the jacket, the phone to his face (because of poor eyesight), the way he moves ... and his purposeful avoidance of other people. He even told the @FBI interrogators that "...mom says I'm an extreme introvert." (As have his neighbors, whom I've personally interviewed.) THIS IS BRIAN COLE JR.! He CANNOT be in two places at the same time. He CANNOT be the J6 pipe bomber. #FreeBrianColeJr

Uniparty strikes again
11 Democrats, including Nancy Pelosi, didn’t vote on a procedural motion, essentially allowing Republicans to kill Massie’s efforts to impeach Pete Hegseth. Saved by Nancy Pelosi. Let that sink in.

The neocon wing got its ass kicked in the midterms by voters but still protects itself in Congress. Shocker.

Americans want Massie’s foreign policy. Not Hegseth’s.

If you see influencers asking why Massie brought up impeachment for Hegseth instead of Omar make sure you file their opinions in the trash bin.

Constitutional illiteracy is a plague
If Thomas Massie is so “principled” and “America first“, then why hasn’t he filed articles of impeachment on Ilhan Omar?
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
U.S. members of Congress cannot be impeached. The Constitution limits impeachment to the President, Vice President and civil Officers of the United States; members are instead subject to expulsion by two-thirds vote of their chamber under Article I Section 5. usa.gov/impeachment law.cornell.edu/constitution-c… constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/a…

If you mention Thomas Massie in a post, the comments will have multiple accounts making anti-Massie slop with no profile pic and 8-12 digits behind a random name. I like to think they are all Loomer’s sock accounts.

Pete has to go rewrite his speech now
Massie: "I hope Hegseth addresses the 8 articles of impeachment, and doesn‘t get up and misquote the Bible in Quentin Tarantino fashion and do some pull-ups and call everybody fat and gay. I may have just given you half his speech, I don't know."

Why does Trump suddenly support an amnesty plan for illegal immigrants with no other criminal history? That his own deportation policy was "too rough?" 🤔

The new signups to change the Libertarian Party to the American Liberty Party is already half the total number of LP membership. It’s happening
For context of how realistic it is to radically change the LP: The @ALPNational Got signups this week equaling half of the entire membership of the LP. We can do it. We can #DraftMassie
