Representative Thomas Massie, a member of the U.S. Congress from Kentucky's 4th district, shared a series of tweets on various topics, reflecting on legislative matters, executive authority, and personal anecdotes. These posts provide insights into his perspectives and activities from early April 2025.

On April 4, Massie acknowledged the support of Congressman Troy Nehls, stating: "Thank you to @RepTroyNehls for cosponsoring my bill, HR 2356, the 'Dual Loyalty Disclosure Act.' He emphasized the importance of transparency in political candidates, particularly regarding dual citizenship: "Candidates for federal office should be required to disclose to voters whether they have citizenship in other countries."

Reflecting on the power and impermanence of executive orders, Thomas Massie remarked on April 6: "That which is done by Executive Order can be undone by Executive Order." He explained the legislative process, comparing executive orders to provisional solutions: "Executive Orders should be considered as first aid is to a patient."

In a personal note, Massie shared on April 6 his family's efforts to protect a peach tree on his property from freezing temperatures: "Before I left the house for DC today, my daughter and son-in-law helped me place a 30x40 tarp over one of my Redhaven peach trees." He expressed uncertainty about the effectiveness of this method, stating, "I've never tried this method to save a peach in full bloom from freezing. Maybe it'll work!"
