The Republican Party is in open revolt, and now is the time to press every advantage. Trump's agenda is collapsing under its own weight — Senate Republicans missed his own June 1 deadline to fund ICE and DHS, the Senate passed a war powers resolution reining in his Iran war, and even Mitch McConnell called Acting AG Todd Blanche's $1.8 billion "Anti-Weaponization Fund" — a slush fund for convicted criminals who attacked the Capitol — "utterly stupid, morally wrong." This isn't fringe dissent. This is the Senate Majority Leader. Trump's political capital is spent. His endorsement of Ken Paxton over incumbent John Cornyn has Senate Republicans furious, his billion-dollar ballroom got killed by the Senate parliamentarian, and his approval numbers are tanking while inflation and gas prices climb. House Speaker Mike Johnson pulled a war powers vote because he didn't have the votes — then sent everyone home. Don't let Republicans regroup. Keep blocking, keep forcing votes, and make them own every piece of this wreckage.
