Thomas Massie, a U.S. Congressman representing Kentucky’s 4th District since 2012, recently shared several insights on his official social media account. Massie, who succeeded Geoff Davis, expressed his views on legislative processes and constitutional rights. Below are key points from his recent tweets:

On April 2, 2025, Massie expressed gratitude towards Representative WPH for co-sponsoring HR 645, known as the National Constitutional Carry Act. He emphasized his belief that "no one should have to beg the government to exercise a constitutionally protected right anywhere in the country."

The following day, April 3, 2025, Massie turned his attention to procedural issues in the legislative process, specifically mentioning the Rules Committee of the House of Representatives. Massie indicated that he would delve further into this topic in an episode of his show "in-the-weeds," pointing out how the committee, which he refers to as "the Speaker’s committee," potentially navigates around established rules. He stated, "There are House rules and federal laws that allow rank and file members in specific circumstances."

Additionally, on April 3, 2025, Massie posted a question aimed at engaging public opinion regarding tariffs. He succinctly asked, "Which best represents your opinion of tariffs?"

Massie, originally from Huntington, West Virginia, was born in 1971 and resides in Garrison. He holds a Bachelor's degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, having graduated in 1993.
