Well, kinda what happens when you've spent like 10 years telling every college age Republican not to go to college.
The biggest thing voters wanted was a clear vision for what's happening, and the MOU (while imperfect) did give voters something to look at, and the administration a thing to point towards. Before and after, can anyone point to any consistent messaging?
That did a lot more damage than people think.
The good news with this is even a bunch of Anti-AI people are starting to get disillusioned with some of the insanity.
Seriously, this story over this game is quite possibly the dumbest and most insane thing I’ve ever read.
Imagine loving this game for this entire time, but the millisecond you learned that AI was used for a tiny part of the code, you immediately review bomb it and call it the worst game in history.
This chart illustrates three things:
1. Trump's approval was already on the decline before tariffs went into effect
2. Tariffs themselves really didn't move the needle on Trump's economic approval as much as some claimed
3. Should've just stuck with the MOU, it clearly was causing a rebound in Trump's approval and giving a sense of momentum
Lutnick has had a comically corrupt time as Commerce Secretary, it's astonishing he hasn't been impeached yet.
An absolutely wild new Nvidia development from @axios, reporting that Pres. Trump last week ordered a crackdown on companies routing Nvidia chips to China —with blessing from Bessent, Rubio, Clayton, Hegseth, Greer and Elon Musk—and that Commerce Sec. Howard Lutnick resisted.
Susie Wiles was seriously infecting every aspect of this administration, wasn't she?
Stephen Miller's office circulated an internal memo 'unleashing' Trump's Cabinet secretaries from the 'absolute control' wielded by former Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.
Admin offices interpret the memo as giving agencies more control over their own messaging.

Here's the chart that shows which countries had the greatest reduction in student visas.
China and India were #1.
Spain held constant.
The UK actually had a few thousand more visas.
Visas issued to Chinese nationals have also decreased substantially.
Student visas issued to Chinese nationals decreased 28% in 2025 and 37% for available 2026 data.
H1-B visas decreased by 30% for Chinese nationals.
EB type visas are down 18% according to the best available data.
There is much work to do, but this is a great start for just two years into attempting to undo the post-1965 immigration system.
I beg Republicans, just use this as a starting point for an actual platform.
🚨 NOW: Rep. Greg Steube says Republicans need to STOP just saying "we're not the Democrats" and WIN BACK every state we lost for 2028 through America first policies
"The last two weeks of the messaging was 'hey we're better than the other guy!' Not 'here's the things that we want, here's the things that we're going to do for the American people.'"
"We have to go back to the things that won us the majority — go back to the things that won us the White House in 24, to be successful in 28!" 🎯
That's PURE AMERICANS FIRST and economic wins, paired with mass deportations and border security 🇺🇸
And it starts NOW while we still have a trifecta for 50+ days!
Pretty good start.
You just have to offer a REAL alternative, not just saying Democrats are bad.

Excellent.
Young men are the future of the America First, patriotic populist movement.
The path to winning back their support is clear:
End the war in Iran, bring down prices, and get back to the terrific pre-war trajectory of growing real wages.
Dial back all immigration, legal and illegal, so young Americans stop competing against an endless supply of foreign labor and get the foreign students out as well.
Above all, renew the American Dream for our own young citizens.
A good job, an affordable home, a family, and a future should be the birthright of every young American, and Washington must put their needs ahead of foreigners and foreign interventions.

🌾 CONGRESS IS SLIPPING AMNESTY INTO A FARM LABOR BILL
Don't take my word for it. Read the official summary from the Congressional Research Service.
H.R. 9535, the "Securing Agriculture's Workforce Act." Sponsored by House Agriculture Chairman Glenn Thompson. 61 cosponsors, 52 of them Republicans.
One line tells you everything. The bill "establishes an H-2A visa pathway for current unauthorized agricultural workers who otherwise meet requirements."
Current unauthorized workers. People who are here illegally right now.
The sponsor's pitch: "With the border now secure, it is time to address these shortcomings."
The border is more secure because we finally started enforcing the law. You don't reward that by handing a visa to the people who broke it.
And the timing couldn't be worse. Monday night the President said, "We haven't put the same pressure on waitresses and on farmworkers, etc. Not even close." That's exactly the opening this bill's supporters have been waiting for.
We've seen this movie before. In 1986 Congress created the Special Agricultural Worker program, and it was riddled with fraud, with applicants claiming farm work they never did. My career taught me that every carve-out turns into a business model. Make farm work the safe lane and the fake employment letters will show up by the truckload.
Farmers have a real labor problem and I'm not dismissing it. Fix H-2A. Speed it up. Cut the red tape. Let it run year-round. That's legal labor and I'll support it.
But a visa for people who are here illegally isn't a workforce plan. It's amnesty in overalls.
Call your representative and ask one question: are you one of the 61?

NEW: Stephen Miller wants to win back the young men who helped elect Trump in ‘24 but swung toward Dems in ‘26
What he’s telling allies about his priorities: axios.com/2026/11/11/stephen…
Immigration might’ve depressed turnout among some Hispanic voters, but even among Hispanics, those that voted on immigration solely still broke overwhelmingly Republican.
The biggest reason Hispanics either didn’t vote or swung more Democrat was the economy has disproportionately impacted these communities much more.

Much of this shift came from differential turnout. Young Republicans just... didn't really vote.
Republicans lost because of the economy and not having a real healthcare proposal more than they did because of taxes and defense.
This is the most tone deaf thing I've ever seen.
Oh my God, we're STILL doing the 2011 Tea Party talking points?
Republicans got their asses kicked because they didn't do enough/not offer a real alternative to Democrats, not because they did too much.
“When Democrats offer more government, we’ll offer more freedom.”
Rep. Jim Jordan lays out House Republicans’ message for the next two years after his reported victory in the race for minority leader.
Jordan tells GOP colleagues they will fight for American families, promising to take that message to committee hearings, the House floor and the campaign trail every single day.
Replying to @gelliottmorris
That the polls and models were accurate because they got the direction right. The GCB poll average is off by about 4 points and growing, and most models missed by about 20 seats. Had the miss been the other way, everyone would be talking about how bad they did. They're not.
