WASHINGTON, DC: Just days after losing his Republican primary, Rep. Thomas Massie has surfaced far from Washington on a beach in Costa Rica alongside former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.

According to TMZ, Massie is spending time in Costa Rica with his wife, Carolyn Grace Moffa, Greene, and Greene’s fiancé, Brian Glenn. Sources with direct knowledge told the outlet that they “are all chilling together in Costa Rica.” TMZ even published a photo showing the four posing together on the beach. 



 

Massie files to run again in 2028 after loss

The trip comes less than a week after Massie’s Republican primary loss to former Navy SEAL Ed Gallrein. The race became the most expensive House primary in history after President Donald Trump backed Gallrein.

Massie had repeatedly clashed with Trump in recent months, particularly over the Jeffrey Epstein files and the Iran conflict. He eventually became one of the more persistent Republican critics inside the President’s orbit.

Trump didn’t hide his satisfaction after the result.

“He deserves to lose,” the president said after Massie became the latest Republican defeated after crossing paths with Trump’s political operation.

But on Monday, with seven months remaining in Congress, the Kentucky lawmaker filed paperwork to run again in 2028.

“I filed with FEC for the 2028 House race,” Massie wrote on social media Monday. “This allows me to raise funds to continue my political operations supporting my position as a current office holder and as a potential candidate for federal office. I haven’t made a final decision about which office to seek, if I run.”



Massie has also said he intends to continue pressing for disclosure of names tied to the Epstein files that have not yet been made public.

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s break with Trump

Greene stepped away from Congress in January before completing her term after a public break with Trump that centered initially on efforts to release Epstein-related documents and later disagreements over Iran. Her exit also came shortly after becoming eligible for her congressional pension.

Earlier this month, Greene described receiving death threats directed at her family after Trump publicly branded her a “traitor.” Speaking at The Ron Paul Institute in Texas, Greene recounted how her campaign to release Epstein-related material escalated tensions with the president. 

“President Trump's hand was forced to sign it,” Greene told the audience. “He didn't sign that because he supported it. He was forced. And so we released the Epstein files, and then I got a Truth Social dropped on my head like a nuclear bomb where the president called me a traitor.”

Greene said the fallout left her isolated within her own party. She said no Republican colleagues stood by her after Trump’s criticism, and that realization ultimately convinced her she could not continue serving in Congress. She formally stepped down on January 5.

Greene also described threats directed at her family. “They kept coming on my son, my youngest, my baby boy. We're going to snuff out his life. We're going to put a bullet in his head," she recalled.

According to Greene, she reached out to Trump and members of his administration about the threats. She claimed Trump told her “that it was my fault and I deserve it. If my son gets killed, I deserve it because I was a traitor to him.”
