I have taken a close look at the "hush money" accusation against Rep. Thomas Massie, circulated by @LauraLoomer and others. Quite simply, there is nothing to it. There was no such payment and nothing to "hush" up. An ex-girlfriend had an employment dispute with a separate member of Congress. Her grievance is highly dubious, and anyway it has nothing to do with Massie. His enemies are peddling a vague insinuation in order to discredit him. You are welcome to disagree with Massie. I have had my own disagreements with him on the fallout from the Epstein Files. (Although otherwise I agree with him on probably 90% of issues.) But we should all be able to recognize a pathologically bad-faith political hit job. reason.com/2026/05/15/tho…

Returning to the scene of the crime.

Retiring Blue Dog Rep. Jared Golden just cast the deciding vote to kill a war powers resolution he *cosponsored*

We were honored to host Secretary of Energy @SecretaryWright at the Cato Institute for a wide-ranging conversation on the current state of energy policy — and the market revolutions to come. Watch the full discussion on YouTube and our website. YouTube: ow.ly/uk8S50YZMJn Website: ow.ly/w43m50YZMJ6

There is an epidemic of this kind of editorializing in ostensibly straight news articles any time the idea US troops may leave Europe emerges. Which analysts? Projecting less power globally hurts us how? wsj.com/world/europe/g…

Next Tuesday, May 19 at 11:00, please come to @CatoFP to hear @LianaFix, @jekavanagh, and me discuss plans to withdraw troops from Germany (or Poland, as the case may be). @katherinet57 will moderate and a luncheon will follow: cato.org/events/should-…

Yet another potential off-ramp to pursue.

They had the People’s Liberation Army military band play the YMCA at the end of the State Banquet 🤣

Teens aren't drinking less because they got more health conscious—they're drinking less because they're hanging out less.

This Alex Jones impression of Sebastian Gorka that my story inspired is hilarious.

@JustinTLogan 💅

Not fighting the resolution reveals a lot.

New Pentagon report repudiating the absurd argument offered by some that war on Iran has weakened rather than strengthened China's global interests. washingtonpost.com/national-secur…

My take on @wealthion on the EXPLODING US NATIONAL DEBT: "22.2% of American taxes are siphoned off to pay interest on the government’s debt. They don't go to income transfer payments, gov't services, or subsidies." INTEREST ON DEBT = PAYING TAXES AND RECEIVING NOTHING.

Is remarkable that this got passed an editor who didn't make the authors even address Israel's aggressive espionage, to include commercial espionage, against the United States and American companies wsj.com/opinion/americ…

For reference:

So weird and creepy that he scraped @annmarie’s photo without crediting.

Could have used a cig, tbh.

Had a moment today where it occurred to me I was doing *exactly* the Ben Affleck meme, sans cig.

Please stop telling women this is toned.
