After this interview, I’m going to need your support more than ever.
If you appreciate my willingness to expose what’s really going on in Congress, and if you want me to get re-elected, please consider donating at this link.
Thank you!
Rep. Thomas Massie doesn’t care what you think of him, which is pretty great.

Trump did a lot of good things.
But I’m not afraid to say he was wrong on COVID, vaxes, fake Obamacare repeal, red flag laws, bump-stock ban, J6 & Assange & Snowden pardons, FISA, & omnibus bills.
PS,
@TheLeoTerrell
your tweet brought in a lot of needed & appreciated donations!
My election is in 12 days. AIPAC superPAC just bought $300,000 of ads against me because I am often the lone Republican for freedom of speech, against foreign aid, and opposed to wars in the Middle East.
I am urgently requesting your financial help here:
Turning to my re-election to congress…
First the good news:
No democrat filed to run against me!
Now the bad news:
I have a crazy primary opponent who spent ~$750,000 of his own money in his failed bid for governor last year.
Here’s my donation link:
Outside groups have spent $90,000 in the last month to try and remove me from Congress.
They hate an independent voice who is beholden to no one except honest hard working Americans.
Please consider a donation to my campaign so I can keep up the fight.
This is unhelpful and unwarranted.
@RepLaurelLee
is a conservative thoughtful member of the judiciary committee. She endorsed DeSantis for President but then endorsed Trump when DeSantis got out of the race. More of my colleagues should call out these ridiculous bullying tactics.
The greatest liberty litmus test of politicians in our lifetime was COVID.
90% of those in power failed, including Trump. Trump gave us an experimental vaccine at warp speed and shut down our economy even quicker.
Desantis is among the 10% who passed. In fact, he aced it.
My opponent is trying to get me disqualified from the ballot. He thinks this is his best chance to beat me.
My lawyers and my opponent were in court this past Friday. The judge could rule as early as March 15th.
If you can help:
@CassandraRules
I know Desantis. Hung out with him for 6 years in Congress. He has a brain, common sense, and a record of achievement. He fought the establishment in Congress and fought the establishment to win the Governor’s seat. Once in power, he did not sell out, but instead advanced liberty
When AIPAC began attacking me 2 days ago, you rallied to my defense and support is still rolling in.
Thank you!
Since May 9, we’ve received 1,042 donations totaling $82,776 !
If we can hit $100k AIPAC will know their intimidation tactics have backfired.
Wake up!
Trump was abysmal on the Second Amendment.
On red flag laws Trump said “I like taking guns away early… Take the guns first, go through due process second."
And then he directed his ATF to ban bump stocks, making felons out of hundreds of thousands of gun owners.
🤦♂️
Great news! Today, the judge dismissed my opponent’s attempt to disqualify me from the ballot. My opponent claims he will appeal, but this is a great victory for my re-election.
I stand with
@chiproytx
. He fights for what he believes and he’s one of the most conservative members of Congress. I can tell you with certainty that this shortsighted effort to intimidate Chip will not work.
Today is my birthday!
And I’m happy to be sitting in an airport, on my third plane ticket, on a mission to get to Iowa to campaign for my great friend of 12 years Ron Desantis.
Great to see the country’s best governor this weekend! He asked me to reprogram my wearable debt badge to go down instead of up, so it can display Florida’s debt!
@RonDeSantis
🧵 I’ve been battling the swamp for over a decade and I can tell you it’s tough.
I’d give anything to have more help, which used to make me vulnerable to falling for fake liberty candidates.
I have backed a few who won and then sold out… but they talked a great game!
In every recent competitive primary and in those primaries yet to be decided, Trump has endorsed a moderate Republican over the conservative Republican.
Why aren’t my colleagues speaking out about this?
Trump’s going to end up with a RINO majority in Congress when he’s POTUS!
AIPAC announced they were spending $300,000 against me statewide to run negative ads.
We raised $100,000 on the blowback.
Then Protect Freedom PAC began running $300,000 of the ad below supporting me statewide.
AIPAC, your smear campaign on this American 🇺🇸 has backfired.
Dogs don’t bark at parked cars.
More money has been spent against Ron DeSantis than any other candidate. $40 million!
That’s because he’s the only serious insurgent candidate, the only one who actually threatens the deep state, and the only one who can win.
The view out my hotel window this morning. Looking forward to a day of campaigning with Ron Desantis in New Hampshire.
Hope to see some of you in Hudson, Hooksett, Laconia, or Manchester today!
Campaigning with Desantis is inspiring!
My trip to NH was very productive. I met several people who were leaning toward other candidates but are now absolutely locked in for Desantis after meeting him.
So I’m excited to go back to Iowa this weekend!

There’s no one more committed to defending the Constitution, restoring the legislative process, and ending the weaponization of government.
I’m honored to endorse him for U.S. Senate. Donate:
At times, maybe I haven’t been direct enough in my request (and need) for campaign funds.
I’ll be blunt.
Our internal metrics are excellent. We are winning this race for U.S. Senate. We have the better product by far.
But we don’t have the resources we need right now.

#desantis2024
The nation’s debt increased 39% during Trump’s presidency.
Florida’s debt decreased 25% during Desantis’ governorship.
A lot is due to the legislative branches, which hold the power of the purse, but both executives have veto power. Desantis used his veto to cut spending.
Cedar Rapids: This was going to be a quaint retail stop at a coffee shop to shake a few hands but 200 people showed up! We had to morph it into an improvised town hall without microphones or stage or backdrop, and modify the schedule for the next event. Nice problem to have!
300 people braved sub-zero weather in Cedar Rapids to hear Ron DeSantis’ inspiring message. We were joined on the stage by the very popular Iowa Governor

@RonDeSantis
is drawing great crowds on Nikki Haley’s home turf in SC today!
Will she drop out after she loses her home state?
I’m doing laundry and packing my bags so I can link back up with Ron in NH tomorrow, after I go on the Fox Sunday show live.
We are in South Carolina this morning with a great crowd!
All I heard was 🦗 🦗 🦗when Desantis asked hundreds of South Carolinians here to name one Governor Haley accomplishment.
Contrast that with Governor Desantis’ long record of achievements in Florida.
I have tested positive for Covid. My symptoms are minimal and I will continue to work from home in Vermont while isolating in accordance with CDC guidance. I am glad to be fully up to date with the vaccine.
Congratulations to
@ShelleyLutherTX
on her primary win in Texas State House District 62 last night.
Shelley bravely stood against the COVID lockdowns and kept her hair salon business open.
She will be a strong advocate for liberty in Austin!
You did it! We reached $100 K !
In just 4 days, grassroots donors have made 1288 donations to my campaign totaling $101,795 !
Thank you for supporting me against the foreign special interest groups that are spending money to bully congressmen and influence elections.

Election Day in KY!
It’s a referendum on whether a guy can go to DC and vote against foreign aid, foreign wars, and sanctions, while supporting free speech, privacy, & the 2A.
AIPAC claims to have spent $400k against me. They won’t be happy tonight!
A man with a red Make America Great Again hat just left after voting and told me he switched to Desantis tonight based on my speech! Trump didn’t send an official speaker here at a location with 300 caucus goers. This race is fluid.
Tonight I let
@thelauracoates
of CNN know that I’d rather have a President who grew up in the eighties than one who is in his eighties!

Ep. 45 How could Washington possibly send tens of billions more to sleazy oligarchs in Ukraine now that the whole enterprise has been revealed as a fruitless, corrupt and incredibly destructive disaster? Because that’s what they always do.
In the 4 days after I was attacked by foreign interest group AIPAC, over 1,000 of you from all over the United States gave a total of $101,795 to defend me. Here’s a map of where you, the supporters, live. Thank you! 🇺🇸
The United Nations is a coalition of globalists and despots that perpetually erodes the sovereignty of the United States.
Nikki Haley gleefully cavorted with them as ambassador.
Donald Trump increased US funding to the UN.
Ron Desantis will slash US funding to the UN.
Unreal.
Nikki Haley belittles Iowa caucus goers — claiming their decisions will need to be corrected by New Hampshire voters.
"You know Iowa starts it. You know that you correct it…and then my sweet state of South Carolina brings it home."
The uniparty in DC knows they can’t beat me with a Democrat this fall so they’re already trying to recruit a Republican opponent for my next primary. Can you help me prepare for my next battle against the establishment by donating at this link? Thank you!
@AK4WA
The offer was too great to refuse:
I’ve been promised a President our kids and grandkids can emulate, a dismantling of the administrative state, accountability, reduced spending, and a commander in chief who honors those who serve.
No other candidate offered this to me.
What has changed?
You and Liz Cheney max donated to my primary opponent while you were in Congress simply because I made you return to vote on the CARES act.
Believe it or not, when i was elected with
@RepThomasMassie
, we disagreed but in a way I respected.
He has turned into a condescending clown who spreads conspiracies for likes and retweets and fame.
MAGA rots heads. And it’s just weak and pathetic.
Donald Trump sent billions of US tax dollars to the UN, and assigned Nikki Haley as his UN ambassador to cavort with the globalists and despots.
@RonDeSantis
will eliminate funding to the UN.
The choice in this election is clear.
Looks like I’m Livin’ rent free in Liberal Leo’s head.
I didn’t know who this character was until he started X-ing @ me.
I hope he doesn’t stop, because he’s been continuously driving donors to my website for 48 hours.
Should I publish my own Liberty Index of congressmen, based on votes taken in the House of Representatives during the 118th Congress?
I’d include votes on eliminating the department of education, food freedom, and Jim Jordan for Speaker. Which votes would you include?
Dinner break at the Country Spirit in Henniker, NH with

That’s how much Trump and Haley spent combined AGAINST

was full of energy! Finished the day campaigning with Casey Desantis, who will be an amazing 1st Lady. This has been a great trip to Iowa. Headed home to feed the cattle Monday and then back to work in DC on Tuesday!
The attacks I’ve endured for my principled votes have strengthened my resolve.
Today I filed for re-election because sometimes mine is the only voice for Liberty in the House.
Can you send DC a message by contributing the resources I’ll need to win this?
🧵(final)
That’s leadership: taking an unpopular position because you know it’s right, and using your power to empower people instead of forcing outcomes on them.
I don’t trust anyone else, regardless of how good their words sound. Beware of pied pipers.
Desantis for President!

That’s how much you’ve donated in 48 hours since AIPAC announced their $300,000 smear campaign against me.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.❤️
$57,743 < $300,000 but candidates buy ads at cheaper rates than superPACs.
Let’s keep it up!
I’m excited to announce Senator

I plan to be in Iowa this weekend with my favorite candidate. Whether my choice is your choice or not, I hope to meet some of my online liberty 🗽 friends. Details to come!
@AP4Liberty
Is the logic: Trump’s imperfect but inevitable, so skip the primary election in 49 states, and cozy up to him now?
I reject that proposition because
pragmatically: he doesn’t keep deals, and
strategically: “predict the winner and be his friend” is the swamp’s main defect.
Thank you to
@RobertJSalvador

I served with him for 6 years in Congress and got to know him. He’s smart and principled, and he fought the COVID nonsense, while all the other candidates either encouraged it, went along with it, or were silent. It was the greatest infringement of our liberties in a lifetime.
Big news! Former Chairman of the Iowa Republican Party endorsed
@RonDeSantis
today. AJ Spiker is a good friend of mine and a warrior in the liberty movement!
Wow. Nikki Haley said in her book that Hillary Clinton inspired her, but this is the first time I’ve seen video of her saying it. Meanwhile on the trail she says she didn’t say this.
Just spoke for Desantis at a dual precinct caucus location with about 300 ppl.
Neither Trump nor Vivek sent a spokesperson.
People in the crowd agreed to speak for them when no spokesperson could be found for either candidate.
At this location, Desantis wins on organization.
We ended today with a bang at the gun range! There’s a lot of enthusiasm here on the ground in Iowa for Desantis, the most pro-2A candidate in the race for President. Ron and I took questions from the crowd for an hour.
In 3 days, 1,244 grass-roots donors have given my campaign $98,313 !
Why?
Foreign interest lobby group AIPAC began attacking me with $300,000 of TV ads statewide just days before my primary.
Can we hit $100k tonight to show them Americans have my back?

Trump himself can’t find his way to opposing the deep state. He signed the reauthorization of FISA while President and now he wants to build the FBI a spectacular new building.
As I look over the GOP candidates for President, I don’t yet have a first choice. But I do know one thing: count me in as

! If you want freedom of speech and oppose forever-wars join me ➡️ .
Since I left home, I’ve been in UT, DC, IA, SC & NH!
Feels good to have a day on the farm.
Parked at the bottom of the hill, walked to the house, started my backhoe, & plowed the driveway to make it the last bit. 😂
Meeting with my KY voters Saturday, then back to NH Sunday!
Thank you to everyone who has supported me in fighting the lawsuit to take me off the ballot.
If you’re just now hearing about this and want to help me, here is my donation link
Here’s today’s article describing insane the lawsuit
Update:
Thank you for helping! Within 2 hours of my request for help, y’all have generously given $6,500 online, and almost all of the donations have been $100 or less. It’s adding up quickly.

$20,252 in small dollar donations.
Thank you!
Americans support freedom of speech, oppose endless wars, and don’t have anymore money to send overseas!
Furthermore, they don’t want their representatives to be bullied into representing foreign countries.
🚨My opponent says he’s filing a lawsuit to disqualify me.
He’s claiming that because one of the people who signed my filing paperwork had his house burn down, the address is not valid and I should be removed from the ballot!
Will you help me fight this?
I’ll be in Des Moines, Iowa tonight for the back-to-back town halls! Iowa caucus goers will see a stark contrast.
DeSantis answers questions directly, like a leader. Haley answers questions like a slick politician who is interested in a VP or cabinet position.
