Right now, some in the GOP are asking whether non-MAGA conservatism has a future. @davidjolly.bsky.social says "we're seeing this inflection point" for the GOP. @walshfreedom.bsky.social argues that "there's no room in today's Republican Party for someone like" himself or Jolly. #Velshi
Inside the GOP civil war: ‘Where do traditional conservatives go’ in Trump’s party?
Less than one year since President Trump returned to office, infighting among the GOP has reached a fever pitch as many ask whether non-MAGA conservatism has a home in the party. Former GOP congressman David Jolly, now a Democratic candidate for governor of Florida, warns against “playing into the cult of personality of Trump and Trumpism.” Joe Walsh, another former GOP congressman who is now a registered Democrat, says that traditional conservatism is “not coming back in our lifetime” and that “this is a MAGA party.”

Trump invites the press into the meeting in violation of the agreed protocol. Then he kicks them out. Pure chaos, as usual.
Trump tells the press as he meets with Zelenskyy, "I think you could sit outside and have some food. Would you like to have food or do you consider that a bribe, and therefore you cannot write honestly? ... Margo, take them outside and tell the chef to serve them good lunch."

NYT just ran a bizarrely credulous piece about New College, the school that DeSantis and Rufo have turned upside down.

There is one good outcome of the article: This @donmoyn.bsky.social post, which is one of the best pieces of media criticism I've read all year.

It is not just what is happening at New College: discussion of the broader Florida environment of limiting freedom to teach and learn...is just not discussed. No mention of the Stop WOKE Act or other educational gag orders. No mention that the online right now veto which faculty leaders are selected

America is an idea. That idea is freedom. And it doesn’t matter what color you are. It doesn’t matter what religion you are. It doesn’t matter where you come from. It doesn’t matter when you come here. If you come here & embrace the idea of America, you’re American. 💯 American.

Nobody should watch CBS until this airs. Which may be never after Trump threatened them again. He has the ownership and management he wanted who will now obviously do his bidding. Erika Kirk last week, now this. The MAGA News Network.

This is odd, but not unexpected. This is what it looks like when lawyers get involved at the last minute from defamation risk, source safety, or government pressure that no one wants to admit publicly.

This week, a bill to stop Trump from launching strikes against Venezuela fell 2 votes short in the House.

Last month, our similar effort in the Senate came up 2 votes short.

4 more Republicans.

That's all we need to stop this administration from potentially dragging America into war.

Trump openly tells his flock he’s stealing $1 Billion from the treasury for himself — and somehow makes himself the victim in the story.

And they clap.
Trump makes a "joke" about stealing a billion dollars intended for charity and giving it to himself. (Something he has done multiple times.) "I negotiate with myself," he says.
