By Newsweek. Representative Thomas Massie has filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) for the 2028 election cycle, signaling a potential political comeback after losing his recent House primary.
The announcement comes a week after the Kentucky Republican lost to Ed Gallrein in the Republican primary for Kentucky’s 4th Congressional District, with 45.1 percent of the vote to Gallrein’s 54.9 percent. Massie’s loss came last Tuesday after a bruising campaign and a loud feud with President Donald Trump, who called him the “worst congressman in the Republican Party.”
Massie, who has served in Congress since 2012, announced the filing in a post on X just after noon ET on Memorial Day.
“I filed with FEC for the 2028 House race,” the post said. “This allows me to raise funds to continue my political operations supporting my position as a current office holder and as a potential candidate for federal office. I haven’t made a final decision about which office to seek, if I run.”

Thomas Massie accuses Todd Blanche of violating law over Epstein files
By The Hill. There’s a growing divide in how the Jeffrey Epstein fallout is being handled on both sides of the Atlantic, and now Republican Congressman Thomas Massie is turning up the pressure from inside his own party.
In a new interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Massie accused Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel of perjury and misleading the public about the Epstein files and whether other powerful people are implicated. And he made clear he’s not backing down.
Kristen Welker: “You have named names in the Epstein files in the past. Can we expect you to name more names in the coming weeks and months?”
Massie: “Yes … Todd Blanche is violating the law. There’s still millions of files they haven’t released. … We know from talking to the victims’ lawyers that their own 302 forms haven’t been released. We know that files have been over redacted. I have released at least three names of billionaires who are implicated in this. I don’t think it’s possible to get to convictions with Todd Blanche at the top and with the FBI director Kash Patel at the top because they’ve effectively both perjured themselves by saying that there’s nobody else in the files. Even Melania doesn’t believe that.”
That’s a pretty extraordinary accusation, and it speaks to the broader frustration surrounding the Epstein investigation: years later, many Americans still believe the full story has not been told. (Read more from “Thomas Massie accuses Todd Blanche of violating law over Epstein files” HERE)

Ousted Republican Warns More Epstein Retribution Is Coming
By Yahoo News. Republican Representative Thomas Massie has vowed to go scorched earth on the Trump administration—by unveiling previously unmentioned names related to the Epstein files.
The rogue Kentucky lawmaker pointed fingers at Donald and Melania Trump during an interview with NBC News’s Meet the Press Sunday, claiming that the first lady is well aware that the Justice Department’s public rollout of its investigation into the pedophilic web is incomplete.
Acting Attorney General “Todd Blanche is violating the law; there’s still millions of files they haven’t released,” Massies said. “We know from talking to the victims’ lawyers that their own 302 forms haven’t been released. We know the files have been over-redacted.
“I have released at least three names of billionaires who are implicated in this. I don’t think it’s possible to get to convictions with Todd Blanche at the top, and with the FBI Director Kash Patel at the top, because they’ve effectively both perjured themselves by saying that there’s nobody else in the files.
