Republicans Against Trumpism @rpsagainsttrump.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
10 years ago today GOP Sen. Mike Lee: “If anyone spoke to my wife, or my daughter…the way Mr Trump has spoken to women, I wouldn’t hire that person, wouldn’t want to be associated with that person, and I certainly don’t think I’d be comfortable hiring that person to be the leader of the free world”

Another secret Paxton recording, and this time he’s admitting he doesn’t even control his own campaign. “I don’t control the message or what we’re doing.” “I’ve never been in a race where I felt less control over the campaign. It’s all coming, you know, from DC.” www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

Before calling someone a “dirtbag,” the Senator should have had his facts straight. An apology is in order. Glad one of us knew the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes!

Kennedy: "I don't think any public official, including Trump or Noem or John Kennedy, should spend public money on private ads for themselves ... I may end up with a sombrero on my head, but I also think we ought to have a rule that no politician can have a building named after him when he's alive"

Now let me be Dr. Buzzkill. The reason polls like this always fall short of reality is that Democrats LOVE to day "Yes, I'm voting to remove the fascists" and then they forget what day Election is. Prove me wrong, and show up.

Someone in the White House spent time today preparing an eo to rename Lake Ontario. The president spent time signing it. In economic terms, was the opportunity cost negative because they could have been doing something more important? Or positive, because they didn’t do something even dumber?

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. McDonald's CEO raked in $20.5M in 2025 — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 958x the company's median employee pay. See the problem?

Bill Cassidy did not want to personally risk anything for the truth. So he needed a rationalization in his own mind to vote yes for RFK. Cassidy is the only one being untruthful…to himself. Until these guys have the awareness to understand their own motivations, this Mickey Mouse show will never end

In what could be the nail on the coffin for Blanche, Sen. Cornyn (R-TX) confirmed today that he will not support Todd Blanche’s confirmation as attorney general absent a written modification to the IRS settlement agreement between Trump and his own administration. www.politico.com/live-updates...

Why bother calling your Senator and telling them to vote NO on Todd Blanche for Attorney General even though Trump will keep him in the job regardless? Because history should record the NO vote. You’ll want it on the record that we rejected him. That’s why.
