## Resource

Why is Thomas Massie facing such an intense primary fight? This episode argues the real issue is bigger than Kentucky: party loyalty, spending, war, and whether Republicans still believe in limiting government. Nate and Chuck break down the Thomas Massie primary, the money pouring into the race, Trump's attacks, polling and turnout questions, and why a close result could send a message far beyond one congressional district. They also unpack the attacks on Massie over spending votes, explain why "all government spending is taxation," and ask whether Republicans want principled lawmakers or just obedient ones.
