Oldham County GOP cuts the mic on Thomas Massie.

“I am a congressman. I don’t work for the Speaker of the House, I work for you.”

No wonder the orange toddler is unhinged once again.

The Obamas are competent, classy, loving, Harvard and Princeton graduates, loved by many, not on the Epstein files, got the Nobel Peace Prize, and gave us a steady economy to boot.

"What does it mean for middle powers to live the truth? First it means naming reality..." (🧵1/6)
