Mike Johnson's failure is clear. Even GOP Rep Kevin Kiley has called him out for his "total failure" publicly.

LET'S MANIFEST TOGETHER!

Happy Sunday. Trump is suffering a remarkable string of retreats this week. Let’s recap:

Removing some tariffs to fix food inflation.
Retreating (literally) from OR and IL with interstate NG troops
Supporting House vote of Epstein files release bill.

These are all capitulations.

We fight on.

I’d like to explain what’s happening here in this moment. We are witnessing the air reconcile break up of two large fractions of the party emerging in the GOP.

What that means is that there is a majority making coalition in the House of Representatives up for grabs.

Will Dems press advantage now?

he continues to hit record low approval numbers!!!!

WE'VE GOT HIM ON THE SLOPES NOW!!!

wanna know how bad things are going for Trump and the GOP?

Even the RCP polling averages show them PLUMMETING in approval.

Notice the severe decline since Dems forced the govt shutdown.

We. Are. Winning. Keep the momentum.

Tired of winning??

Hopefully any senators present in the caucus meeting can speak about the internal deliberations. Thanks as always for your insight.

Btw here’s what my ai said to help me contextualize the moment.

given the shifts to the left in all our special elections and Tuesday's red massacre, how much of a chance do we have of flipping it? i'm not familiar with TN07?

ballotpedia makes me think we need a 22 point shift left?
