Thomas Massie and AOC: The Political Alliance No One Saw Coming in 2025

WASHINGTON, D.C. – All eyes are on President Donald Trump to see if the US will further insert itself into the escalating military conflict between Israel and Iran. As the two nations continue to attack each other, the debate over US involvement is creating a rift between defense hawks and non-interventionists in the Republican Party.

But it has also brought together two unlikely political allies: Libertarian Republican Thomas Massie of Kentucky and progressive Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) of New York, who together are calling on Congress to rein in the president’s ability to unilaterally thrust the US into another Middle East war.
