19. Massie & Ro Khanna
Thu Nov 20, 2025, 05:12 PM
Thursday

Ro Khanna & Massie have collaborated on bills over the yrs but the “Epstein Files Transparency Act “ has been their biggest collaboration.

Now that it passed - it’s supposed to include victims statements. Let’s see how Trump gets around that.

The fact that Trump despises Massie is interesting as more Republicans are liking Massie better than Trump over on X. Many Republicans over on X want a Massie/MTG run in 2028. They are definitely not into J D Vance. Although Trump hates Massie and has 3 wealthy donors funding the opposition- many think at least one of his big donors could be on the Epstein list. Massie is getting donations from all over US. He is a gun toting guy but Republicans like that he built his own house, is off grid and anti war.

He seems more honest than Trump & his gang and he and MTG in the end convinced all the other Republicans to vote for his and Ro Khanna’s
bill.
Trump is fuming- the mega adulterer just attacked Massie for marrying too soon (a yr & a half) after Massie’s long time sick wife died. A wife he had been with for over 30 yrs.

I’m really liking Ro Khanna for co sponsorship of this bill. The young Dems like him and he knows how to market himself to the young like Mamdani did. Love our younger progressive Dems!! It’s weird when 50 is a young Dem.
