The author wrote that Republicans’ decision last summer to redraw Texas’s districts at Donald Trump’s direction had appeared politically risky, and said in retrospect the party had been overconfident. https://t.co/HGxLpWevPO #TexasPolitics #Redistricting #Dummymandering #US
It comes as no surprise that Trump is now casting doubt on the results of the midterm election, pushing unsubstantiated accusations of rigged election machines in a social media post after previously accepting the blowout defeat for Republicans. Once a loser, always a loser.
Republican congressman Massie just introduced 8 articles of impeachment against Hegseth, with a vote possible this week. Other Republicans are privately warning that it may pass. 😃🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿
I think Hegseth is the worst Secretary of Defense in US history--by a long way. But if you are going to impeach him for executing unlawful orders, you have to impeach the President who gave the unlawful orders in the first place. As always, Republicans give Trump a pass.
Republicans Pull Huge 180 on JD Vance for 2028 After Elections Loss Just a few months ago, the GOP had crowned Vance as Donald Trump’s successor. Then the midterms happened.
Do you happen to remember the SNAP and Medicaid cuts happening in January? Republicans were so slick, they set up cuts to happen after the midterms. Democrats must have a plan to reverse that. This is definitely something to call your reps about on Day 1. #Pinks ✨ The work continues.
“Trump might choose to end the Iran war after seeing how much it hurt Republicans in the midterms,” says conventional wisdom. “Oh yeah, how?,” ask people who understand the war, and recognize that Iran gets a big say in how things go, with the US far from fully in control of the situation.
Christopher Hooks wrote that Texas Republicans in state government had gone too far with their 2025 policy agenda, which he said ignored many of their own voters and cost the party everything. https://t.co/E2R042T57Y #TexasGOP #Republicans #Politics #US
The author shared a link about Texas colleges, saying Republicans had overhauled them in a conservative push and made universities a political target. The post said Gina Hinojosa and other Democrats were preparing to take office as campuses faced a turning point. https://t.co/XciFcnZA0Z #Texas #HigherEducation #Politics #US
Viciously attacking a candidate with slurs in national media and then that candidate winning seems to be repeatedly coming back to bite the Republicans on their collective arses.
Republicans can stick with Trumpism or chart a new path, writes BBC Washington correspondent Daniel Bush. #RepublicanParty #Trumpism #MidtermElections
Turning Point USA — founded by Charlie Kirk — Bet Big on the Midterms and Lost. Some Republicans Are Furious. Candidates backed by the right-wing activist group did not fare well, and the results set off recriminations from establishment Republicans.
the optimal strategy on redistricting is so blindingly obvious that I’m surprised more people haven’t discussed it: we move forward with a national gerrymandering ban in Congress and tell republicans that if they filibuster/veto it, we will gerrymander MD, WI, PA, AZ, CO, NJ, and NY
The author described Stephen Miller as a reactionary ideologue and white supremacist, and said he had been promoted to lead the Trump administration. They portrayed him as a loyal adviser known for promoting conspiracy theories and leading mass deportations of migrants. The author called the appointment an apparent desperate move linked to Republicans’ electoral situation.
The strategy did not "wreck Republicans". They still control majorities in the Texas and ohio state houses and congressional delegations despite receiving far fewer votes in each. Strategy was very effective and will be more so in 2028 if the election is even a little bit closer
Trump's latest cope is publishing that actually the midterms went really well for Republicans if you look at these charts and social media posts, just those darned Democrats found 20 million votes from somewhere, which can't be helped.
I do think the Stephen Miller appointment as Trump's chief of staff proves one important point. While Trump hates Democrats and believes Americans in general are suckers and losers, he really despises other Republicans for becoming his tools so easily.
"The Republicans will drop all this trans stuff after the mid-terms"
Trump to elected Republicans:
🚨🚨 BREAKING: MAJOR WHITE HOUSE SHAKEUP! Susie Wiles is OUT as Trump’s chief of staff. Stephen Miller takes over Monday. Days after voters delivered a crushing nationwide rebuke to Republicans, Trump is elevating the architect of his mass deportation agenda. A sharp turn further right.
