You played by the rules, and then Republicans changed them.

Trump financially buried working class Americans, and Democrats just need to offer them a way to dig themselves out. Rick Wilson joins MSNOW to talk midterms:

Trump financially buried working class Americans, and Democrats just need to offer them a way to dig themselves out. Rick Wilson joins MSNOW to talk midterms:

Why do MAGA Republicans keep winning while Donald Trump keeps losing? Watch Rick Wilson on MSNOW:

China has been eating our lunch for decades, and Trump is offering them seconds.

Fox: Food prices will go up soon. One third of the world's fertilizer comes through the Strait of Hormuz. Since the start of the Iran conflict, the price of fertilizer is up by 44%.

The Republican Party quietly deleted their own ad attacking Ken Paxton's record on crime... because Paxton is now the Republican Party's nominee to represent Texas in the U.S. Senate. Figured if the ad is important enough to delete, it's important enough to see...

The GOP became the party of compliance and loyalists, and now it's crumbling because of it. Watch LP Senior Advisor Stuart Stevens on MSNOW.

"If you want $3 gas, you're going to have to wait 6 years. We will not get back down to that sub-$70 oil level until 2032"

"I expect soon that Trump will come up with a fund to compensate those men in the Epstein files for the embarrassment they had to go through" - LP Senior Advisor Stuart Stevens

"stupid on stilts" "tyranny" "absurd" That's what Republican Senator Thom Tillis calls the new Trump DOJ $1.8B slush fund. Now what’s stopping the rest of the GOP?

Trump’s death grip on the Republican Party may sit well with MAGA hardcores, but it's repelling all other voters. LP Senior Advisor Stuart Stevens explains how that'll hurt the GOP in November:

Trump: We lost 13 people. In other wars, you lost hundreds of thousands of people. I get a kick when I look at somebody on television and they say, 'he's lost 13 people.'

GOP Vice Chair Blake Moore: "Our Republican priority will always be to put government ahead of Americans." They do not care about you.

LP Senior Advisor Stuart Stevens slams the GOP on MSNOW: "I’m just glad these guys weren’t around in 1776."

Republicans have been choosing between integrity and Trump for years now, and in Bill Cassidy's case it was too late to salvage his deal with the devil. Watch LP Senior Advisor Jeff Timmer on MSNOW:

Donald Trump is a loser, and America is paying the price.

Trump is weak and China knows it.

The breadlines are already here and Trump couldn't care less.

"Taxpayers are footing a whopping $1 billion bill for Trump's ballroom. Your budget cuts the National Park Service by $1 billion. If you put this $1 billion towards our national parks instead of Trump's ballroom, that would benefit every single American."

Stephen Miller did the near impossible: he took Trump’s strongest issue and turned into an overwhelming negative.

Trump talking about the ballroom budget... or the national deficit... or his cholesterol...

"I don't think about Americans' financial situation" 175 more days until you get to vote against this and every Republican who enabled it to go on this long.

Rubio and Vance are being teased for the 2028 race, but expect the field to be outsized when that time comes. LP Co-Founder Rick Wilson explains on MSNOW.

Trump lackeys like Vance and Rubio don’t know what awaits them in the 2028 primaries, but Rick Wilson has some ideas. Hear him explain on MSNOW:

Sean Duffy’s road trip reality show is just one tiny piece of this administration’s brazen corruption. Stuart Stevens breaks down how our politics has devolved on MSNOW:

Trump on the Iran war: "What do I know? I've only been doing this a short period of time. What do I know?"

As gas prices skyrocket and some are resorting to public transit to get to and from work.... the Transportation Secretary took a road trip to film a reality tv show... during a government shutdown.

LP Co-Founder Rick Wilson: Trump’s superpower is in the Republican Primary. Once those are over, you’ll start to see House Republicans begin to pull away from him and his agenda.

Would you trust Kash Patel with anything important? Exactly. LP’s Stuart Stevens discusses how Kash is part of Trump’s larger move to destroy public faith in our institutions.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy: "It fits any budget to do a road trip!"⁩

Housing foreclosures have spiked to a 6-year high. Trump's Housing Director: "I'm not particularly concerned. I think the housing market is safe and sound right now"

Had enough yet?

Democrats must come up with a strong offense strategy against Blanche, Trump, and the rest of the administration who continue to meddle in our electoral processes. Otherwise, they'll do it again. LP's Stuart Stevens has more in the clip.

Independent voter: The change that I was expecting from Trump, I don't feel in my everyday life. Prices are obviously still very, very, very high. Now we have higher gas prices, which really hurt everyday people. The frustration right now is just unbelievable.

Is this normal?

Q: Do you think it's affordable to live in America right now? Alabama voter: No, not like it used to be. Costs are going up, but what you make on the job is not going up. People are suffering right now.

Trump on Affordability: The Dems are screaming about affordability... I'll tell you one thing, they got one good line of bullshit

Sean Duffy on when gas prices will go down: "At some point, we have to have a little bit longer viewpoint".... so not day 1 as promised.

Trump voter: It's like you woke up Monday morning and oh, we're bombing Iran now. Freaking gas is pushing $5 a gallon.

Trump ran on retribution. When Dems take back control, they need to go after this corrupt administration and their lawless revenge tour. LP's Stuart Stevens has more advice for the Democrats in the clip.

"Small businesses right now are thriving" No, they are not. Small businesses are failing. Farms are closing. Bankruptcies are spiking.

Like farmers all over America, LA farmer Kaden Cable is experiencing the effects of Trump’s affordability crisis firsthand. Choosing between healthcare or utility bills is a reality for them.

Fox Business: There’s a new poll out showing 61% of Americans feel the economy is on the wrong track. That’s up from 43% in January.

We support sending him to space.

55% of Americans feel worse off financially than at any point in the past 25 years. You're already paying for gas, utilities, groceries... and if the GOP gets their way - Trump's ballroom as well.

The change in violent political rhetoric must start from the top: Donald Trump. LP's Jeff Timmer explains on MSNOW earlier.

“Ron Desantis’ track record for having a positive influence on national politics is pretty small.” LP Senior Advisor Stuart Stevens assesses the potential impact of Ron’s redistricting power grab in Florida.

Steve Bannon’s advice for 2026: “nobody should give another penny [to the GOP]” Cornyn, Lindsey Graham, John Thune. They’re all on his list. MAGA isn’t just split, it’s devouring itself.

Trump's pick for Fed chair should be asked about his relationship with anti-democracy billionaire Peter Thiel before we let him anywhere near our Federal Reserve. Watch LP Senior Advisor Stuart Stevens on MSNOW.

Rick Wilson tells it like it is: Tucker Carlson is lying. He isn’t sorry at all for helping create Trump.

Today, VA Dems are showing the party how to fight back. VA voter: Trump has explicitly stated to state legislators, 'find me more seats.' As Democrats, we can't come to a boxing match where the other person brings a knife.

Pete Hegseth's abuse of faith in our military is more dangerous than he could possibly understand, but we should all be taking this very seriously. Watch Rick Wilson on MSNOW.

Trump is on an historic losing streak, and it might be enough to turn his base against him. Rick Wilson joins MSNOW to paint the corner Trump has backed himself into.

Trump voter: "That's him [Trump] depicting himself as Jesus Christ. That is blasphemy in its purest form."

Don't be fooled, Mike Lawler was never a "moderate." Any House member voting consistently with Trump is full on MAGA. Voters are fed up, and the GOP can expect more town halls just like this one heading into the midterms.

Trump doesn’t know what he wants from this war, and Americans don’t want war at all. Rick Wilson joins Back Room with Andy Ostroy to chronicle Trump’s failures in Iran:
