“My good friend Thomas Massie lost tonight. I'm angered by the smears on his character. He lost because he had the guts to take on the Epstein class.

“If you saw the exchanges that my colleagues had with him, you would see he made a farce of the English language. It was just contortions and lies and no acknowledgement.
“If Donald Trump had seen the video transcript, he would have fired Howard Lutnick. It was really embarrassing.
“If we could chase Hillary Clinton, who hasn't been in office for 20 years, certainly we can get Pam Bondi to explain why she covered up documents, why we haven't had prosecution.
“Your $25 billion number is totally off. Do you know how much it will cost Americans in terms of their increased cost in gas and food over the next year because of the Iran war?
“We just defeated Johnson's efforts to sneak through a 5-year FISA authorization tonight. Now, they will have to fight in daylight.
“The subpoena requires Pam Bondi to appear for a sworn deposition regarding the Department of Justice's handling of the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and his associates and compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Her firing does not nullify a valid subpoena. Chairman Comer must publicly reaffirm that Bondi is legally obligated to appear, and Congress must enforce its own subpoenas — otherwise our oversight authority is meaningless.
“If the United States Congress has any life left in it, every member of Congress and senator must be calling for Trump's removal today, based on the 25th Amendment. Threatening war crimes is a blatant violation of our Constitution and the Geneva Conventions.
“The Epstein files cover up took down Bondi. @RepThomasMassie and I have been calling for accountability since she violated our Epstein Transparency Act. Bondi must still answer to Congress about the remaining documents, why we have no new prosecutions, and why she participated in a cover-up.
“Trump says his goal is to topple the Iranian regime, but the American people are tired of regime-change wars that cost us billions of dollars and risk our lives. Congress must reconvene on Monday to vote on Thomas Massie and my war powers resolution to stop this war.
