And so I'm watching all this unfold and I'd love to sit here and go, okay guys, well, we gotta fight back.

Let's mobilize.

Let's, you know, focus on the midterms.

We gotta elect great people.

We gotta push through Trump's agenda.

All of that, we need to elect amazing people.

But we did that.

We did that in 2024 when Trump won.

That meant the Republicans, this new movement of conservatives had the presidency, the House, the Senate.

We had a conservative majority in the Supreme Court.

And what have they gotten done?

Like, it doesn't feel like we're winning.

For example, Doge was not even able to last a year.

It was supposed to be an 18-month program.

It only lasted until May of last year.

Meanwhile, just a couple of months ago, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer boasted that he had bipartisan, bipartisan support to reverse all of those Doge cuts and spend even more money in an upcoming spending bill.

That doesn't make me feel great.

Now, obviously, I have to be fair.

There are things that I have been really happy with, especially regarding HHS and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., everything he did with vaccines.

I liked a lot of Trump's executive orders, but I do wish Congress had been able to codify more of them without just smushing them together in massive spending bills that spend more than Doge even attempted to cut.
