The crux of MTG’s message is that Trump and House Republicans are abandoning all of the president’s priorities, falling into complacency and are on the brink of squandering their razor-thin majority.
Let’s dispense with the caveats. MTG has never been representative of the House Republican Conference writ large. She clearly has a bone to pick with Trump and the leadership. MTG may have her eye on the governorship — that chatter picked up again over the weekend. She was also never a fan of Speaker Mike Johnson.
MTG’s four-page note was stinging for House Republicans. Why? Because the message rang true to so many in the House GOP.
In fact, a few other GOP members messaged us over the weekend saying that they, too, are considering retiring in the middle of the term.
Here’s one particularly exercised senior House Republican:
“This entire White House team has treated ALL members like garbage. ALL. And Mike Johnson has let it happen because he wanted it to happen. That is the sentiment of nearly all — appropriators, authorizers, hawks, doves, rank and file. The arrogance of this White House team is off putting to members who are run roughshod and threatened. They don’t even allow little wins like announcing small grants or even responding from agencies. Not even the high profile, the regular rank and file random members are more upset than ever. Members know they are going into the minority after the midterms.
“More explosive early resignations are coming. It’s a tinder box. Morale has never been lower. Mike Johnson will be stripped of his gavel and they will lose the majority before this term is out.”
Of course, Johnson’s team points out they have impossibly small margins and believe they are doing what they can with the hand they were dealt.
But the idea that Republicans could lose their majority this Congress is no longer far-fetched. If Johnson were to lose another House Republican in the middle of this term to retirement, death or illness, there’s a decent chance that the GOP can end up in the minority at some point in 2026.

JFK’s Granddaughter, 35, Reveals She Has Just a Year to Live
'''
She also expressed gratitude to her family for helping out during the ordeal.
“They have held my hand unflinchingly while I have suffered, trying not to show their pain and sadness in order to protect me from it,” she went on. “This has been a great gift, even though I feel their pain every day.”
Schlossberg further noted the news has been especially hard for her mother, who now faces losing a daughter after also losing her father, the former president, in one of the most famous assassinations in U.S. history. Her mother also lost her brother, John F. Kennedy Jr., in a 1999 plane crash.
“Now I have added a new tragedy to her life, to our family’s life, and there’s nothing I can do to stop it,” she said.
I've probably asked this question before, just with a different number of years...
Where were you 62 years ago today, November 22, 1963?
I was 16-years old and a Junior in high school. I was in physics class when they announced that President Kennedy had been shot. Keep in mind that we lived in Northern Michigan and it was in the middle of deer season, so the first comments that we made among ourselves was that we didn't know Kennedy was a hunter, since for us, the only time we ever heard of someone getting shot was because of a hunting accident (there's no question that we were living sheltered lives). It was maybe 30-minutes later, when I was in study hall, that it was announced that Kennedy was dead and that this had taken place in Dallas.
About 15-minutes later, they announced that classes had been cancelled and that the buses would soon be taking us home. We were also informed that since it was Friday, and that Thanksgiving was the following Thursday, that school would be closed for the entire week, instead of the just the originally planned two-days, Thursday and Friday.
I was working in a local grocery store/meat market at the time and being in an area where a lot of hunters came for deer season, we were pretty busy, so my boss asked me to come in and work most of the days that I had off (I was already scheduled to work the weekends and after school so in the end, it was only a few extra hours). We had a TV at the store and we watched most of the news programs covering the activities of the week. Of course, everyone who came into the store had to stop, look at what was going on and express their opinions and views, to say nothing of speculating on what actually happened and who was ultimately responsible. While the term 'conspiracy theory' was not yet part of our lexicon, you could see how stuff like that got started and what perpetuated it.

BREAKING: Grand jury investigating DOJ's handling of Adam Schiff criminal probe
A federal grand jury is investigating the handling of the Justice Department's criminal investigation into Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff over allegations of mortgage fraud, according to a law enforcement source and a subpoena to a witness.
The subpoena, sent to a conservative activist, asked for any records she has from anyone "claiming to be William Pulte," the Trump administration's director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency.
Someone posted on the internet that the mayor-elect of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, would "require all New York elementary school students to learn Arabic numerals." Anyway, people went crazy. claiming that "The Islamification of New York begins." Another posted that here in America, we only use "American numerals, not those from terrorists".
If nothing else, it confirms what many of us has suspected all along, and that is that the MAGA crowd are not only stupid, but that they're ignorant as well.
Fox News Poll: Voters say White House is doing more harm than good on economy
Unhappy with the economy. Pain with prices. Unsure about Trump administration policies. It adds up to high disapproval among the president’s loyal constituencies.
Here are six takeaways from the latest Fox News national survey.
-- Some 76% of voters view the economy negatively. That’s worse than the 67% who felt that way in July, and the 70% who said the same at the end of former President Biden’s term.
Appeals court panel rejects Trump’s ‘Big Lie’ defamation lawsuit against CNN
