I assume Thomas Massie is getting death threats. Every Democrat and every Republican that crosses Trump (eg. Raffensperger) gets them. Only Massie knows how credible they are.
However, still jarring to see these half-performative, half-serious statements being issued by a sitting Member of Congress

Chinese dissidents have issued such notarized statements for the past two decades, in case they later die under mysterious circumstances and authorities rule their deaths as "suicide", a practice more commonly known as "suicided" (被自殺).
The term "suicided" is banned on the Chinese internet.

INBOX: Rep. Thomas Massie, who has enraged Trump for his insistence on blocking tariffs and releasing the Epstein files according to the law, just issued what is widely known among Chinese dissidents as "a declaration of no suicidal intent" (不自殺聲明), a sign of extreme distress.

“Why is everyone dying of early-onset cancers and blood clots and have worse flu infections than ever before?” it’s COVID and no one will admit it because admitting that is scary and people want to feel safe, to the point where they value feeling safe over being safe.

I mask. I work from home. I don’t go to restaurants. It doesn’t surprise me nobody wants to give up restaurants or dating or get fired by a boss who (correctly) thinks customers find a masked food server off-putting. I fucking hate masking. Everyone should be masking. People aren’t going to mask.

People talk around COVID instead of addressing it because there’s no easy way to avoid COVID infections without foundational lifestyle changes. Masking means quitting restaurants in specific and social eating in general; it means inviting social and maybe professional censure. Nobody wants those!

For those who missed it, Reddit users have figured out that many of the blank PDF files in the Epstein files are actually videos when you change the extension to .mov or .avi.
That's how much they care about protecting victims.

Just want to point out that these videos are still live in the Epstein files and at least a few of them are CSAM, many others NSFW, some include violence involving torture of prisoners convicted of sex crimes.
Strong warning to not go looking. It includes video of Epstein molesting girls.

I feel this way about pretty much all vaccine-preventable infectious diseases. You shouldn't be allowed to dump cyanide into municipal drinking water and you shouldn't be allowed to recreationally spread viruses around shared public spaces.
My most authoritarian opinion is that the MMR vaccine should be mandatory, with only medical (not religious or floofy) exemptions allowed. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
