One of our favorite Republicans in the Congress, Representative Thomas Massey of Kentucky

his wife suddenly passed away this week and it was an absolute tragedy

Mr. Massey took to X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, where he made the heart

wrenching announcement and he went on to share pictures, photos, stories of his wife

and their family. And I'm not ashamed to say it was, it was, it brought a tear to my eye

It was a heart tugging thread. And you know, Massey's a really great man and his family, you know, great people

And when a tragedy strikes like this, it's times like that, that you see Republicans

and Democrats actually come together. You saw what happened with Steve Scalise when he came back to Congress and Republicans and

Democrats greeted him. And it's, it's part of what makes America, America

It's the America I know and love. It's the America that goes beyond partisan politics, goes beyond, you know, our differences

and what divides us. And we look at the humanity, the humanity that unites us

We see it after natural disasters or man-made disasters. And we see it in moments like this, when even the most bitter enemies in Congress can come

together as they did in this video clip I'm about to show you

It harkens back to a time in America when there just wasn't so much vitriol, so much

anger, so much pointing to each other as the enemy. It was a time when there was some decorum and that's what happened here

And I want you to see it because it represents in a tragic time, in my opinion, what is the

best of America. So please watch this video and then please leave your thoughts and your prayers for the

Massey family in the comments. Mr. Speaker, we were all saddened to learn today of the passing of the spouse of one

of our members, Thomas Massey, the gentleman from Kentucky. His wife, Rhonda, of many years, they were childhood sweethearts, she suddenly passed

away yesterday. Mr. Massey had to drive home to Kentucky and be home with his family, which is where he

is today. I would ask everybody in the chamber and everybody around the complex to please rise and observe

a moment of silence and offer your prayers and thoughts and condolences for our good

friend from Kentucky

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you. Thank you.
