## Resource

Congressman Thomas Massie handed President Trump a brutal report card—failing him on transparency and the economy, citing soaring fuel prices and inflation. He gave Trump a B on border policy, the only area he didn’t fail, but that’s not saying much. Massie’s harsh critique follows his past criticism of Trump, especially over the Epstein documents, which reportedly cost him his primary last year. His low grades mirror public sentiment, with Trump’s approval hovering around 38%. Adding to his fire, Massie recently introduced articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, accusing him of illegal war in Iran, defying Congress, and causing civilian deaths. Massie isn’t holding back—he’s going after the administration on multiple fronts. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
