Overview
- On June 21, US bombers hit Iran’s Fordow, Natanz and Esfahan nuclear sites in a strike President Trump described as "very successful."
- Rep. Thomas Massie condemned the operation as unconstitutional and co-sponsored a bipartisan War Powers Resolution to curb unilateral military action.
- Trump branded Massie "not MAGA" on Truth Social and vowed to back a challenger who would represent Kentucky’s 4th District in 2026.
- His advisers Tony Fabrizio and Chris LaCivita launched the Kentucky MAGA super PAC with a mission to defeat Massie in the Republican primary.
- The public feud has reignited debate over the president’s war-making powers and Congress’s role in authorizing deployments abroad.
