Activist Judge James Boasberg insanely and illegally blocks US Attorney Jeanine Pirro from investigating Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. Powell is evidently now above the law. Boasberg needs to be impeached. Enough of this judicial tyranny! https://t.co/gOvmBxGq8c

Thomas Massie just fired back at Trump’s Kentucky rally attacking him: “I vote with President Trump 91% of the time.” “One of those 9% cases where I deviated … was when I forced the release of the Epstein files.” “And I think it struck a nerve with him.” “I still like Donald Trump, believe it or not.” “I voted for him three times, but Ronald Reagan said: trust, but verify.” “And that’s where I am.” “Sometimes he has bad advisors. Sometimes he has the wrong people whispering in his ear.” “I trust the voters to figure this out.” @RepThomasMassie @MassieforKY
