POTUS: "They (EU) suedAppleand won17billion dollars"

Looking at web sources, there’s no direct mention of DeSantis advisors jumping ship to Massie’s team. Massie’s staff turnover or hires aren’t well-documented publicly—congressional staffing changes often fly under the radar unless they involve scandal or prominent figures. A 2023 Politico report on DeSantis’s campaign staff shakeup noted layoffs and shifts (e.g., Pushaw stepping back from the campaign, Wiles moving to Trump), but none of these individuals resurface in Massie’s orbit. Similarly, Massie’s own press releases or official congressional site don’t name-drop former DeSantis aides.
Turning to X, I searched posts from Massie (@RepThomasMassie), his known associates, and DeSantis-related accounts for hints. Massie’s posts focus heavily on policy—government spending, gun rights, Trump endorsements (he backed Trump in October 2024== after DeSantis’s exit)—but rarely mention staff. A scan of replies and mentions from followers doesn’t reveal credible claims of personnel overlap. For example, a March 2025 X post from a user tagged Massie about his vote against a Trump-backed funding bill, but it’s all policy noise, no staff gossip. DeSantis-related accounts like @RonDeSantis or @ChristinaPushaw also lack any chatter about advisors moving to Massie.
One angle worth exploring is Massie’s early DeSantis support in April 2023. He organized a D.C. meet-and-greet for DeSantis, per McClatchy, suggesting possible coordination with DeSantis’s team. This could imply shared contacts, but no names like Pushaw or Uthmeier appear linked to Massie afterward. A Miami Herald piece from July 2023 quotes Massie joking about DeSantis needing an indictment boost, showing their rapport, but it’s silent on staff. X posts from that period—like Massie praising DeSantis’s leadership—stay high-level, not operational.
A potential lead is Blake Brickman, a former DeSantis ally (chief of staff to ex-Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin) who attended DeSantis’s 2023 Palm Beach retreat alongside Massie. McClatchy noted this, but Brickman’s role was tied to DeSantis, not Massie, and there’s no evidence he joined Massie’s team.Another figure, T.W. Arrighi, Massie’s long-time chief of staff, has no visible DeSantis connection per public records or X activity.

Meet the 4 whistleblowers behind most of the impeachment allegations against Ken Paxton
Once high-ranking officials in the attorney general’s office, the four were fired after reporting concerns about Paxton’s behavior to law enforcement.

When the Texas House impeached now-suspended Attorney General Ken Paxton last month, lawmakers relied heavily on allegations made by four men who were fired from top jobs at Paxton’s agency.
The four fired executives filed a lawsuit in November 2020, arguing that the Texas Whistleblower Act protected them from retaliation after reporting to law enforcement their belief that Paxton had improperly helped his friend and political donor, Austin real estate investor Nate Paul.
The lawsuit also gave the public a first look at their allegations against Paxton, saying he improperly pressured agency employees to get involved in legal disputes to benefit Paul and his businesses.
In return, they said, Paul helped fund a renovation of Paxton’s Austin home and employed a woman who was allegedly involved in an extramarital relationship with Paxton. Paxton is married to state Sen. Angela Paxton, R-McKinney.
Here is a look at the four whistleblowers, what they did in the attorney general’s office and what they claim Paxton did that led them to report his actions to authorities.

Paxton recruited Blake Brickman to the attorney general’s office in February 2020. After a career in Republican politics and working as a lawyer in private practice, Brickman served as Paxton’s deputy attorney general for policy and strategy initiatives.
From 2015-19,Brickman was chief of staff to Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin, considered one of the most conservative governors in the country. Earlier in his career, Brickman was chief of staff for Republican U.S. Sen. Jim Bunning and a campaign manager for U.S. Rep. Andy Barr, also a Republican.
John Hodgson, a staunchly conservative Kentucky state representative who served with Brickman in Bevin’s administration, lauded Brickman for his conservative principles.
“We worked together every day for four years fighting for ways to make government smaller and more accountable,” Hodgson said in a statement provided by Brickman’s lawyer. “Blake is a fearless defender of the rule of law and conservative values.”

Brickman pushed back against Paxton’s desire to get the agency’s Charitable Trust Division involved in a legal dispute between Paul’s businesses and the Roy F. and Joann Cole Mitte Foundation, the whistleblower lawsuit said. The Austin nonprofit had sued Paul’s business for fraud, alleging that Paul failed to make financial disclosures about its investments.
At Paxton’s direction, Brickman reviewed the case and concluded that the agency should not get involved, particularly in ways helpful to Paul, because the Charitable Trust Division was intended to help nonprofits. Paxton disregarded the advice and pressured agency lawyers to intervene in the lawsuit, delaying the sale of some of Paul’s properties to pay the nonprofit, according to investigators hired by the House General Investigating Committee.
Brickman was fired on Oct. 20, 2020, for “insubordination,” just a few weeks after reporting Paxton’s alleged crimes to the FBI.
Several months earlier, Paxton praised Brickman at a monthly meeting and gave him a copy of “Scalia Speaks,” a collection of speeches by the late conservative U.S. Supreme Court justice. Inside the book, Paxton had inscribed, “Blake, I am so grateful you joined our team at the Texas AG’s office. I am confident that you will continue to make a difference for our office and all of Texas.”

Former Bevin chief of staff fired by Texas AG after his whistleblower bribery allegation
The chief of staff for former Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin has been fired from his new position by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, weeks after his whistleblower allegation accusing Paxton of bribery.
Blake Brickman, who served as Bevin's chief of staff until he left office in December, was hired in February by Paxton to serve as Texas' deputy attorney general for policy and strategic initiatives.
Three weeks ago, Brickman and six other top aides to Paxton in the attorney general's office notified the agency of their belief that he committed criminal offenses related to bribery and abuse of office, asking federal law enforcement to investigate.
The Texas Tribune obtained internal emails showing Brickman and others accused Paxton of abusing his power to serve the financial interests of a major political donor, though Paxton has denied the allegations and dismissed the whistleblowers as “rogue employees.”
Paxton's top aide immediately resigned and two others were placed on leave, while Brickman and another whistleblower were fired by Paxton on Tuesday.
Brickman has not yet responded to media outlets asking for his comment on the firing.
During his four years as Bevin's chief of staff in Kentucky, Brickman was known as a fierce defender of his boss and attack dog against his critics.
Brickman, the grandson of former Democratic Gov. Ned Breathitt, had worked for two decades in Kentucky politics and government for Republican elected officials, including the late Sen. Jim Bunning and current U.S. Rep. Andy Barr.

"Bush remembers Bush": Then-Vice President George H.W. Bush visited Laurel County
(WYMT)
By Phil Pendleton
Published: Dec. 5, 2018 at 5:58 PM EST
The primary Presidential campaign came to Laurel County in the winter of 1988.
"I think part of that honor was that we were named Bush, and he was named Bush," said E.R. Rudder with the Bush Fire Department.
Rudder shook hands with the then-Vice President, George H. W. Bush, who later that year became the 41st President.
"The thing that strikes me most is that all say he was a genuinely good man," Rudder remembered.
Bush spoke right outside the fire department but with an elementary school right across the street, one can imagine the monumental day it was for those small school children.
"I don't think so, as a second-grader then, I grasped how big of a deal it was," said Elizabeth Cupp.
Cupp was a second-grader when Bush came to the fire department. She is now the principal of the new Bush Elementary.
"I don't remember what he said, just that there was a really big positive energy and he was really nice," Cupp remembered.
The school children did get quite the lesson that day, but one might say Bush learned a bit about small-town America as well.
"And I am told that this whole spirit of volunteerism that is so reflected, perhaps epitomized by the fire department, is community-wide," the former President said in 1988.
People who were there said Bush seemed like one of them, an ordinary guy, who anyone could talk to and relate to.
Bush returned to Laurel County four years later when he was President. That time, he spoke to high school students.
Dignitaries from around the world attended Wednesday's state funeral, including Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin.
"George Bush, the 41st president, was a class act. he really was. He was a man of grace and dignity. And he represented America well. And it was a privilege to be here and pay my respects," said Bevin.
