- If the Trump administration is not making an effort to tank their party's prospects in the 2026 midterms, what would they be doing differently if that were their intention? Alienating perhaps the most passionate, substantive and well organized political movements (i.e. the Second Amendment advocates) would be a place to start if you wanted to surrender your electoral prospects.
In the aftermath of the shooting death of Alex Pretti, it was Trump himself as well as Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel decrying the fact Pretti was even carrying a firearm, despite the fact he had a permit to do so and never brandished it.
But the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia took it a step further.

Yikes. I would expect such rhetoric out of the proggiest of prog D.A.'s, but a Republican appointee?
Pirro later walked back her remarks in an episode of "What I should have said."
A message to my fellow gun owners…put your safety back on 😉 pic.twitter.com/fkgWD7GsuB

In a way, this is heartening. While the vast majority of gunnies likely vote Republican, they aren't going to play good little tribalists if the team leader goes off the reservation. I'm guessing Ms. Pirro found that out the hard way.
- Meanwhile, if Republicans are genuinely looking for a way to strengthen messaging for the midterms, perhaps they should air on an endless loop this statement by the Minority Leader of the U.S. Senate.
🚨Sen. Schumer calls the SAVE Act "Jim Crow 2.0":

"The SAVE Act is an abomination. It's Jim Crow 2.0 across the country. We are going to do everything we can to stop it." pic.twitter.com/3gB95bm6vt
If this is indeed "Jim Crow 2.0," that sentiment hasn't filtered down to the demographics which leftists claim will be most harmed by voter ID.

Gee, what s surprise. The progs taking the "20" on an 80/20 issue.
- Hey, speaking of an 80/20 issue.......
I am a Conservative. And I have some advice for other Conservatives:

Shut the fuck up about trans people.
The obsession with this tiny minority of people is not winning anybody over.
For context, this "conservative" is a journalist out of Toronto, Canada, so that designation isn't quite the same to Canadiens.
Anyhow, my take is simple. I will be glad to "STFU about trans people" provided they and their allies cease with attempts to make it a "hate crime" to refer to a dude wearing a dress (and possessing an XY chromosome) as a "he." Sorry, but no one should be coerced into denying empirical facts in order to justify one's delusion. Play daily dress up all you want, but basic biology can't be overturned.
