Thomas Massie, a U.S. Congressman representing Kentucky’s 4th district since 2012, shared several legislative and political insights on March 26, 2025. His statements cover a range of topics from firearm purchase denials to international military actions and proposed legislation concerning dual citizenship.

On March 26, Massie announced that the "Judiciary GOP Committee passed my bill requiring FBI to provide demographic data of persons ruled ineligible to purchase a firearm by NICS (the Background Check System)." He highlighted that this data is crucial as it "will show that thousands of false denials per year disproportionately affect racial minorities."

Later that day, Massie addressed media coverage related to international military engagements. He questioned the priority of U.S. interests in these actions, stating: "What the media isn’t talking about in the leaked Signal chat: The Vice President and two others in Trump’s administration expressed the same concern I did upon learning of the strikes on Houthis." He further questioned if protecting "Europe-Asia shipping lanes" aligns with an America First policy.

In another legislative move on the same day, Massie introduced HR 2356, known as the Dual Loyalty Disclosure Act. He explained his position via social media: "Today I introduced HR 2356, the Dual Loyalty Disclosure Act." The act mandates that candidates disclose all countries where they hold citizenship if they are dual citizens running for federal office. This initiative was supported by co-sponsors including @RepAndyBiggsAZ, @RepMTG, and @RepClayHiggins.
