Thomas Massie, a U.S. Congressman representing Kentucky's 4th district since 2012, has recently shared his views on social media regarding the current state of legislative affairs in Washington D.C. Massie, who holds a degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and resides in Garrison, Kentucky, addressed several issues related to continuing resolutions (CR) and their implications.

On March 11, 2025, Massie criticized a tweet from former President Donald Trump’s account as misleading. He clarified his voting record by stating: "I never voted for a CR that became law. I did vote for a CR under McCarthy that included an 8% cut to all discretionary spending, but unfortunately that CR did not become law." He emphasized his consistency on this matter.

Later that day, at 19:47 UTC, Massie expressed his opinion about the continuing resolution's alignment with political agendas. He stated: "The CR isn’t Trump’s agenda. The CR extends the last year of Biden’s agenda at substantially the same spending levels."

In another post made at 21:46 UTC on the same day, Massie described the situation surrounding the continuing resolution as disingenuous political maneuvering within Congress. He commented: "The low down on this CR. It’s a fake fight here in the House that will become obvious when the Senate Democrats vote for this stinker."
