Thomas Massie, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Kentucky's 4th District since 2012, has recently shared his views on several pressing issues through his social media account. Massie, having replaced Geoff Davis in 2012, has consistently voiced his opinions on matters ranging from gun control to national fiscal policies, engaging with his audience and reinforcing his stance on various policies.

On April 17, 2025, Massie expressed his opinion on gun control by critiquing gun-free zones. In his tweet, he stated, "So called 'gun free zones' only make law abiding citizens vulnerable." He has consistently argued against such zones which he believes hinder lawful citizens.

The following day, April 18, 2025, Massie addressed financial concerns facing the United States. He noted his willingness to communicate uncomfortable truths by emphasizing, "We have a massive annual deficit." He further warned about the nation's limited control over interest rates and the risks posed by tax cuts without corresponding spending cuts, stating that this combination could lead to "unsustainable debt."

In another post on the same day, Massie discussed the wider implications of government spending. He articulated this by tweeting, "SPENDING is the REAL TAX." He explained that government expenditures have inevitable financial repercussions, either through inflation or future taxes to manage the accumulated debt.

Thomas Massie, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology graduate with a BS, was born in Huntington, West Virginia, in 1971 and now resides in Garrison, Kentucky. His posts continue to reflect his long-standing views on limiting government expenditure and preserving individual rights.
