I was cautiously optimistic in November of 2016 when I wrote the following piece for my friends and family, if you take the time to read it and it resonates, I’d appreciate a comment, some feedback, or a follow. I’m new to sharing much here but I’m gonna give it a whirl: 🧵

@marcelluswiley The same thing you’d call it in a gas powered vehicle…the accelerator.

What do you call the gas pedal in an electric car? 😳 In our Tesla and the kids just asked me… Yo, I’m stuck?!? 🤯🤣

@ColbyMannionNJ Maybe get your own house in order first. Do you even have any experience with personal budgets? Establish skills that make you valuable to the unit before pursuing the role otherwise you’ll be wide open for manipulation by those who do and the professionals who serve them. 🤷‍♀️

Thinking about running for my town’s council once I turn 18. (Next May) Any thoughts?

@DavidJHarrisJr Walk up, buy him out at a buck a cup, set up a stand next to him and sell it to everyone for $2 a cup.

What would you do if you saw this?

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come;thy will be done;on earth as it is in heaven.Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.And lead us not into temptation;but deliver us from evil.For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, for ever and ever.Amen. God bless all 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Due to numerous requests from the media, Rep. Spartz issued the following statement regarding Ms. West’s allegations against Rep. Massie and Rep. Spartz’s office: “Rep. Spartz has never heard of an alleged $5,000 settlement proposal - or any other settlement proposal- by Rep. Massie regarding allegations Ms. West brought against Rep. Spartz’s office. The first time Rep. Spartz heard these accusations by Ms. West against Rep. Massie was a few days ago in Ms. West’s public video. On a personal level, Rep. Spartz considers Thomas Massie to be one of the strongest supporters of women in Congress and a defender of women’s rights among her GOP colleagues. Rep. Spartz has seen him in action. Ms. West was not terminated by our office; rather, her temporary employment was not extended beyond 90 days due to concerning conduct by Ms. West. A few months later, Ms. West brought allegations against Rep. Spartz’s office, which Rep. Spartz denied and refused to settle during the pre-filing period. Recently, due to delays and other circumstances in this case, Rep. Spartz was willing to reconsider settlement discussions in order to save taxpayer money and mitigate disruptions to the operation of the office. At no point did Rep. Spartz try to force Ms. West into a non-disclosure agreement. On the contrary, Rep. Spartz would be happy to publicly disclose all aspects of these allegations, the circumstances surrounding Ms. West’s employment, and how this process is structured in Congress, if permitted to do so.”

I normally stay out of political drama, but since I was the “friend in Savannah” Cynthia referenced, I feel obligated to speak honestly about what I personally witnessed. Thomas and Cynthia visited my home in Savannah after the passing of his wife. From my recollection, it had only been a few months, and he was clearly heartbroken and grieving. I specifically remember conversations by the pool where he talked about how deeply the loss affected him. He did not come across as someone acting recklessly or maliciously. He was kind to Cynthia, respectful, and they appeared happy together at the time. I also personally knew Cynthia was going through a very difficult divorce during that period and was unhappy with her legal representation. To my recollection, the $5,000 Thomas gave or lent her was related to helping her obtain a different attorney during that divorce situation — not “hush money.” Separately, Cynthia had ongoing workplace complaints involving Rep. Spartz’s office that she discussed long before any of this current public controversy. From what I understood at the time, those issues were about what she described as a toxic work environment and had nothing to do with Thomas. I am not speaking on politics, campaigns, or what may or may not be happening behind the scenes. I can only speak to what I personally observed. Based on my own experience around both of them, the timing of these allegations — one week before an election — feels very strange to me. People can draw their own conclusions, but I felt it was important to share firsthand context instead of speculation.

I support America First candidates who put the Constitution, the American people, and the interests of the United States above foreign governments, foreign wars, lobbyist pressure, and political games. That should not be controversial. That should be the baseline expectation for anyone elected to represent Americans.

We want our country back . Millions are in attendance

@RealFrankFromFL Hard disagree.

Florida voters, We can’t go from Ron DeSantis to this. Agree???

Yes, I saw the President’s post. No, I’m not mad or offended. I knew the risks when I agreed to stand by my friend Thomas Massie. I was, and will be, America First, America Always, and MAGA. Onward 🇺🇸

@kevinolearytv @mplpodcast305 Show your work. Let us determine if your conclusions are supported by evidence. Otherwise 🤷‍♀️

Why is there suddenly such an aggressive push against American data centers and AI infrastructure? After seeing a major spike in coordinated opposition campaigns around our Utah projects, we conducted a digital audit and traced a large amount of the activity back to an organization called Alliance for a Better Utah, which has been pushing misinformation throughout Box Elder County about our data center developments. What’s even more concerning is where the funding appears to originate. After reviewing IRS Form 990 filings and tracing the network behind it, the money appears tied to Chinese linked funding channels connected through an organization called Arabella. Think about the incentive, if China is racing to dominate AI and compute capacity, why wouldn’t they want to slow American infrastructure down?

Hey @X is this a joke? I call out inappropriate behavior and content in gyms but there is NEVER any nudity and if there is, I cover it up. Millions of views which YOU get paid for and not even a discussion? There was no “thorough” review. Just one email and DONE. Do better X…

If you support Thomas Massie, drop a comment below. I’m trying to make sure I’m following every liberty-minded American still standing on principle.

@BillKristol You’ve been a Democrat for years…

I’m pro-freedom, pro-law and order, pro-limited government, and pro-the Declaration and the Constitution. And so today I’m a Democrat.

if you followed your childhood dream job, what would you be right now?

@CadivusUmbrus @MaryamF12389 Mississippi

@MaryamF12389 Utah, not because it is the only state with 4 letters, but the only state that has exactly 4 unique letters. That is the only limiting logic I could use to structure my answer, and it isn't explicitly worded that way, but it is the only framework with a single answer

Your first guess was wrong… now think smarter 👀🇺🇸 Read twice….. answer once 🤯

@MaryamF12389 Mississippi

@stelzner_n1150 No/Who?

What do you guys think about a DeSantis/Bevino 2028 ticket?

🚨WHOA! Florida Quietly Drops $140 Million Bombshell: State Backs “Unthinkable” Cancer Research Into Ivermectin, Fasting, and Nutrition-Based Therapies That Could Change Everything While federal agencies continue to guard the pharma-dominated “cut, poison, and burn” model, Florida is moving in the opposite direction — fast. Through its Cancer Innovation Fund, the state has now directed an astonishing $140 million toward high-impact cancer research, funding projects that would be unthinkable in other states — including studies on ivermectin, fasting, and nutrition-based therapies for cancer prevention and treatment. This marks year three of the initiative, and the shift is seismic. For decades, doctors who explored integrative or non-pharmaceutical cancer treatments risked losing their licenses. Now one of America’s largest states is not only protecting that research but funding it. Florida’s message is clear: stop criminalizing innovation, and let science — not pharma — lead. These are 12-month turnaround studies, designed to get data to the public quickly — not buried in bureaucracy or stalled for grants. Vitamin D, metabolic therapies, exercise, and nutrient-based interventions — once dismissed as “alternative” — are now being put under the microscope with state support. If successful, Florida could rewrite the rules of cancer care — proving that healing doesn’t have to come from a pill bottle or a radiation beam. This is the kind of medical independence the rest of the country should be watching.
