re: Massie says he hid Hegseth impeachment resolution from GOP leaders

Are you trying to compare a president to a congressman? Wow, that is desperation.

You said that’s who you’d vote for as president.

I'm sure Massie would have accomplished way more than Trump could dream of if he was president.

Lol and that’s why I asked.

And it still happened? my god. Massie never accomplishes anything with his fellow republicans. I guess that’s what you get when you’re actually a dem.

I'm not sure what you're saying. Every Republican (except Clay Higgins) in both houses of Congress voted for Massie’s Epstein Transparency Act. Trump endorsed it and didn't hesitate to sign Massie’s bill into law.

What liberal legislation has Massie drafted???
Here's ChatGPT's summary of Massie’s bills:

Thomas Massie was the original House sponsor/introducer, rather than merely a cosponsor, he has introduced a fairly substantial number of distinctly conservative/libertarian measures over his congressional career.
Some of the more notable ones:

Government transparency
The official congressional records confirm, for example, that Massie himself introduced the Safe Students Act, rather than merely cosponsoring it. ? His office likewise identifies him as the sponsor of the Federal Reserve abolition bill, the National Constitutional Carry Act, and the Interstate Milk Freedom Act. ?

A few particularly significant examples
1. Safe Students Act
This is one of Massie's longest-running priorities. His original 2013 bill, H.R. 133, repealed the federal Gun-Free School Zones Act. He has repeatedly reintroduced it, most recently as H.R. 5066 in 2025. ?
GovInfo +1
2. Senior Citizens Tax Elimination Act
Massie has repeatedly introduced legislation to eliminate federal income taxation of Social Security benefits. The 2025 version was H.R. 1040. ?

3. Federal Reserve abolition
This is considerably more radical than simply auditing the Fed. His H.R. 8421 in 2024 would abolish the Federal Reserve Board and Federal Reserve Banks and repeal the Federal Reserve Act. ?
GovInfo +1
4. Raw-milk legislation
Massie has repeatedly pursued federalism/deregulation here. His 2024 Interstate Milk Freedom Act would prevent federal agencies or courts from restricting interstate raw-milk commerce between states that legalize it. His office notes that he introduced versions in 2014, 2015, 2019 and 2021 as well. ?

5. Tax Free Tips Act
In 2024, Massie introduced H.R. 8785 with Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene. It would eliminate both income and employment taxes on tips. ?

One important qualification
“Conservative” isn't quite the whole description of Massie's legislative record. A lot of his signature legislation is better described as libertarian or non-interventionist rather than conventional Republican conservatism.
For example, his positions on:
eliminating the Federal Reserve,
withdrawing from NATO,
repealing mass-surveillance authorities,
opposing presidential war powers,
raw-milk federalism,
and restricting executive power
put him at odds with portions of the Republican establishment as well as Democrats.
So if you're asking “What has Massie actually done legislatively that would allow someone to call him a conservative, rather than just looking at his votes or his rhetoric?”, there is quite a lot of material.
I can also give you a **chronological list of Massie's 25–30 most important original bills from 2012–2026, with the bill number, year, exact provision, number of cosponsors, and whether it ever passed either chamber.**
