The Wall Street Journal revealed that GOP Senator Thom Tillis was behind helping Pete Hegseth’s former sister-in-law get her 11th hour affidavit with allegations of abuse to Senators before the confirmation vote. RINO-First Class Tillis actively worked to sabotage a Republican president’s nominee.
The Senate confirmed Pete Hegseth notwithstanding opposition from McConnell as well as Sens. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, and Susan Collins, R-Maine. They joined all Democrats in opposition, requiring Vice President JD Vance to cast the tie-breaking vote. McConnell’s vote drew special ire.

Twenty Senate Republicans vote for Tennessee Governor’s bloated ‘school choice’ bill
Florida’s CFO Jimmy Patronis has won the special primary for the state’s 1st Congressional District. President Trump endorsed Patronis and urged him to run in the first place.
Here’s Why The Gateway Pundit is Proudly Endorsing Meshawn Maddock For MI GOP Chair. We believe she has the best chance of rebuilding the party, raising essential funds, helping strong Republican candidates win key races, skillfully handling the hostile media, and building bridges between a variety of factions within the Republican Party to create a more unified and strong party as we look forward to the 2026 mid-term elections.

Republican state legislators in 10 conservative states vote up several hundred million dollars each year for required DEI courses in public universities. If this is happening in your state, it’s time to petition your government for redress of grievances.
RINOs Love to Spend, Baby, Spend
Sixty-two senators - including 12 Republicans who pretend to be fiscal conservatives - voted for a bill to give Social Security benefits to public employees. Social Security already runs a deficit. This digs the hole deeper.
Love or hate the final spending bill, House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell negotiated with Democrats to produce an earlier bloated failed bill that would have, among other things, raised Congressional pay, immunized the J6 Committee from scrutiny, and funded the Global Engagement Center which is part of the federal government’s efforts to censor Americans
Biden’s Obamacare jumbo subsidies were justified by COVID, but now Dems and RINOS seek to make them permanent. RINO Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) is all in favor, but extending the subsidies would be extremely expensive. According to the CBO, permanently extending the tax credits would increase the deficit by $335 billion over the next 10 years.
Alaska U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski repeatedly said she is uncomfortable with her Republican party affiliation, and suggested that the country would be far better off if politicians could figure out a way to ditch party affiliations altogether. Just. Go. Away.
Joshua Smith to challenge Joni Ernst in GOP primary. Although Smith doesn’t agree 100 percent with the GOP, he thinks “we can be more effective as liberty-based Republicans” than as Libertarians.

Memo to Senate RINOs: Block Trump’s Nominees At Your Peril
Among Trump’s MAGA faithful, the hunt for what they derisively describe as RINOs — Republicans-In-Name-Only — is in full swing. Trump adviser Corey Lewandowski vowed: “There will be no resource that we won’t” use to target senators who stymie Trump’s nominations.
Right when the Deep State needs someone to go after Pete Hegseth, a new RINO slithers out of the shadows. Enter Todd Young—the establishment hack who’s proven he’s more “Democrat” than Republican. He’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing and the very textbook definition of a “Republican In Name Only.”
Louisiana Republicans have long said GOP U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy would be targeted when he sought re-election after he voted to impeach former President Donald Trump for Trump’s role in the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol. A candidate has emerged to replace Cassidy when state Treasurer John Fleming announced in a news release that he plans to run.
Kamala-supporting RINO Liz Cheney Responds to President Trump’s Comments on Jailing J6 Committee Members for Perpetrating a Fraud on the American Public. Maybe Lawless Liz will finally face justice. She had better hope for a blanket pardon by Joe Biden in the coming days.
RINOs killed Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s school choice bill, but now Republican Dustin Burrows - with help from 38 liberals - is trying to become Texas House Speaker after being rejected by the GOP caucus which selected a school choice supporter, David Cook.
Why did the Republican Party go after the Republican Assembly for having the word ‘Republican’ in its name, but not other America First groups with ‘Republican’ in their name? The answer may be that the Republican Assembly is independent and cannot be controlled, unlike the others which are party clubs.
Senate RINOs Defy America First Movement
In yet another display of how establishment Republicans prioritize power and politics over their own base, RINO Susan Collins (R-ME) is set to take the reins of one of the most influential committees in Congress, Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, a role that wields unparalleled control over discretionary federal spending.

Twenty Senate Republicans vote for Tennessee Governor’s bloated ‘school choice’ bill
- As Representative Todd Warner (R-Chapel Hill-District 92) said in a social media post after the bill’s passage, “Conservatism is supposed to be about limited government, fiscal responsibility, and local control. This bill is the opposite of all three. It creates a massive new government program with no guardrails, no accountability, and no limits on costs, bloating the state budget and burdening taxpayers for generations. It expands government overreach, creating a new bureaucracy to oversee voucher distribution and compliance, while doing nothing to empower parents or improve outcomes for students. This isn’t school choice. It’s a scam masquerading as reform.”

McConnell, Murkowski, and Collins vote against Pete Hegseth nomination
- Collins and Murkowski voted against Hegseth on the preliminary procedural vote, too
- Murkowski (R-Alaska) voted for Biden’s disastrous Defense Secretary and Biden’s Interior Secretary who repeatedly targeted Alaska’s economy with regulations and rules
- In all, Murkowski broke with the GOP 12 times to confirm Biden nominees

Republican Party of Florida Power Plays
Republican Party of FL Chair Evan Power won election to a full two-year term heading the state party
- “Protesters outside the event complained Power had removed numerous conservative activists. The protesters mostly were members of the Florida Republican Assembly from local Republican Executive Committees around the state.”
- “[S]everal delegates felt intimidated due to the way the votes were managed. Issues that should have been decided by secret ballot were instead handled in a manner that discouraged dissent. Those who opposed the status quo felt pressured and silenced.... [Conservative dissenters] were ‘invited’ to leave the property or be arrested for trespassing. (from a Defend Florida mailing)
- Meanwhile, the Manatee saga continues. The state party shut down the local Manatee GOP unit after it was taken over by America Firsters. Two America Firsters were seated as “fully credentialed” at the RPOF’s biennial meeting, but were not allowed to vote.
- The way we hear the story is that all the Republican establishment in Florida cares about is real estate development. They are completely unprincipled and fit the quintessential definition of RINOs: The only thing they stand for is reelection.
Please Enjoy Trump-Hating RINO Paul Ryan Getting Obliterated Over His Refusal to Support Trump over Harris and then Weaselly Pretending to be Trump’s Ally.

Sixty-two senators - including 12 Republicans who pretend to be fiscal conservatives - voted for a bill to give Social Security benefits to public employees. Social Security already runs a deficit. This digs the hole deeper.
- We are running $2 TRILLION deficits and Social Security has a $22 trillion unfunded liability, yet senators in both parties are voting to dig the hole deeper and move up by nearly a year the date when the SS trust fund runs out of money.
Love or hate the final spending bill, House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell negotiated with Democrats to produce an earlier bloated failed bill that would have, among other things, raised Congressional pay, immunized the J6 Committee from scrutiny, and funded the Global Engagement Center which is part of the federal government’s efforts to censor Americans
