Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) posted a tweet with a grim message Friday, noting that he was "not suicidal" in response to a commenter worried he could potentially face threats or other repercussions for his work on the disclosure of the Epstein Files.

    This isn’t some mass revolt. This is a subset of the oligarchy trying to get Trump out so they can get back to getting maximum wealth from our labor. These two are doing the literal minumum of their job description and our government is in such shambles as to make them look like heroes. Massie and Ro Khanna both have taken dark money.

    For all the people that are misreading what I’m saying. This shouldn’t be the new normal. Prosecuting sex trafficking rings, pedophiles and CSAM material was not political 4 years ago. The Biden administration dropped the ball on the Epstein files. Politicians are not your friends, they’re not supposed to be charismatic movie stars. They’re supposed to listen to their constituency, respond to the needs of their community and keep the status quo. These two are the only ones who remembered the first two. This is good. They’re doing their job. I’ll celebrate when something comes from all of this. But otherwise, don’t let this be the new normal. Demand more of your representatives. Otherwise we’ll end up with even worse ones.
