GOP strategist says Republicans in 'deep trouble' as key voting bloc jumps ship

Image
President Donald Trump and Republicans overall are in "deep, deep trouble," according to one moderate conservative strategist, as Latino voters c ontinue to abandon the GOP in "significant" numbers, with two key issues most likely to blame. Mike Madrid is a moderate Republican political strategist, known as one of the co-founders of the anti-Trump political action committee, The Lincoln Project. On Monday, Madrid made an appearance on CNN , where he was pressed about a recent Pew Research survey, which found that 7 in 10 Latinos disapprove of Trump's performance as president in his second term so far. Among those Latinos who voted for Trump in 2024, nearly a third, 3 in 10, said they disapproved. "This is why we're witnessing all of these dramatically wild swings that happened in the 2024 presidential election with Latinos, Hispanics moving historically to the right for Trump, and then moving one year later in equally significant fashion, back awa...

FBI leaders push back against Trump admin's demand to investigate 6 Democrats over video

President Donald Trump's administration is reportedly making moves to initiate a criminal investigation into six Democratic members of Congress, but some in the FBI are refusing to go along with the plan. Bloomberg Law reported Wednesday that the FBI headquarters is demanding a "seditious conspiracy investigation" into the Democratic lawmakers — who are all military and intelligence veterans — after they released a video encouraging rank-and-file service members to remember their duty to disobey illegal orders.

Trump has relinquished the presidency — and there's only one sane response

Image
People ask me almost daily: “Can he really do this?” My answer: He’ll do anything he can get away with. He believes he can get away with anything as long as his Republican lapdogs remain in control of Congress, as long as congressional Democrats remain wimpy and disunited, as long as the Supreme Court immunizes him from prosecution, and as long as he feels he can disregard lower-court rulings with impunity. This is why it’s so urgent that We the People are rising up — making a ruckus at Republican town halls, phoning our senators and representatives so often we’re jamming congressional switchboards, joining our local Indivisible resistance groups, demonstrating, forming sanctuary communities, and boycotting corporations (such as Tesla and Target) that are caving to Trump. Another thing we can do is stop recognizing him as president. He may occupy the Oval Office, but he has repeatedly violated his oath of office to “faithfully execute the Office of President of the United State...
