"The damage isn't theoretical... Trade routes are shifting. Investment is diversifying. Global power is rebalancing... All of it is premised on a hard-earned truth: the #UnitedStates cannot be trusted to lead. Not because of one man but because of what half the country has chosen to normalize. Not because of #Trump alone but because every institution built to restrain him failed & then got in line."

I don't think I've read it anywhere, of any violence at #handsoff

That's remarkable

(You KNOW MAGA chuds would be squawking all over if there was even an minor altercation)

The turnout from older people, also remarkable - anyone with an IRA that counts on that to help pay their bills has just seen the funds cut by almost a third in the past few weeks - many of these folks no doubt voted #Republican (but not any more, I'll wager)

The #GOP has just lost a big segment of their reliable base

"Got to say it takes a lot of nerve for #RFKjr to attend the funeral of a child he's at least partly responsible for killing."

I saw that, and thought as I have so many times lately that the #Republican party has lost all sense of appropriate optics and is simply running full speed ahead into whatever wall it's created for itself

And for good measure the #GOP will then slam its hand in whatever door is available

A political party of bomb-throwing loose cannons

Ted Cruz warns of midterm ‘bloodbath’ if Trump tariffs cause a #recession

Texas senator’s comments another sign of #Republican unease over ‘reciprocal #tariffs’ and stock market plunge

But we will let the dear leader do what he wants… I don’t see a groundswell of republicans standing up to #trump and President #Musk and the heritage foundation in any meaningful way

The Guardian · Ted Cruz warns of midterm ‘bloodbath’ if Trump tariffs cause a recessionBy Edward Helmore

#SundayShowdown

On #TheWeekend, Fmr #Republican Congressman Denver Riggleman said:

During T****'s first term, we had to bailout #farmers $20 Billion dollars. Now that we're decimating the #IRS, how will they get the money to bail them out THIS time?"

Also...

"While 4 dead soldiers return from #Lithuania [and the Market crashes], T**** decided it was more important for him to be on the golf course. What more do we SANE people need to do to convince his supporters, "HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT YOU?"

🇺🇸 I'm surprised to see a republican #US president talking or joking about a third term. Wouldn't the necessary constitutional change directly challenge the #conservative principles of their voter base?

Isn't this something #democrats & #republicans would agree on? 🤷

Texas AG Ken Paxton Won't Face Federal Corruption Charges as He Gains Momentum for Likely Senate Run

The federal criminal investigation was the most serious legal threat the once-embattled Republican faced. With the probe now over, Paxton is gearing up to likely challenge U.S. Sen. John Cornyn in 2026.

"GOP leadership has set its sights in recent months on disempowering conservative-coded #women, especially. The state-level laws restricting #ReproductiveRights disproportionately affect Republican-voting women... And there's been a big push to take female leaders down a peg, with #MAGA influencers now openly saying women shouldn't be in leadership."
