Republicans Come Up With New Talking Points to Dodge Trump Questions

The Senate GOP is offering new guidance to party lawmakers on how to rhetorically juggle Donald Trump’s second term agenda with the public furor it has caused.Internal party messaging reviewed Monday by Politico indicates that Republican leadership is still trying to salvage public perception of the president, on issues ranging from the Iran war to the SAVE America Act.“On Iran, directly connect the President’s negotiations and strikes to keeping the Strait open and keeping prices low,” one line item read, according to Politico reporter Jordain Carney.The internal memo also warned Republicans that the “media will try to divide Republicans by asking your boss to pick a ‘side’ in any given question.”“It’s crucial to reject these false choices. Reject the false choice between the President and Senate leaders: express support for both,” the memo reads.The memo advised Republicans on how to handle the ongoing drama between Trump and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, who last week snapped at White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt for suggesting that the president’s patience was “running out” with the conservative senator’s inability to force the SAVE Act through the upper chamber.Offering potential responses, the memo suggests that Republicans nonetheless claim that Trump and Thune are “united and doing an excellent job.” It also recommends that Republicans claim the duo have made American life “affordable,” and have worked together to make Americans “safer by closing our border, deporting violent criminals (Laken Riley Act), cracking down on fentanyl, and strengthening our military.”“And we all agree that we have to defeat the radical Democrat socialists, who are threatening to undo our progress,” it added.Meanwhile, the White House seems content with quietly advising midterm-bound Republicans to distance themselves from the president’s talking points as his popularity plummets.“The understanding is pretty damn implicit: The president is going to say what the president is going to say,” a Republican operative working on the party’s midterm races told MS NOW Monday on the condition of anonymity. “You’re not going to have candidates or lawmakers running out to defend the president’s handling of the economy or the war—polling shows that most people don’t agree with his handling.”

'Ominous': Speculation swirls over Mitch McConnell's new 'proof-of-life' pic

A newly released photo of Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) raised new questions about his health and continued absence.The 84-year-old senator has not been seen in public since his June 14 hospitalization, and his office released another photo of the Kentucky Republican and his wife, Elaine Chao, along with a statement claiming that he is undergoing "intense physical therapy" on a doctor's orders and would miss the picnic in the village of Fancy Farm that kicks off the fall political season in his home state.“There’s no place I’d rather be on the first Saturday in August than with the good people of western Kentucky, feasting on pork and mutton," the statement read. "When I first attended forty-two years ago, Fancy Farm was a pretty lonely place to be a Republican. But, my, how times have changed. Today, western Kentucky is a conservative Republican sea of red.""So I hate that I’ll miss the fun this year, but I’m sending my best wishes to the St. Jerome [Catholic Church] community for a successful picnic," the statement added.The photo was issued two weeks after another similar image of the elderly senator and his wife that failed to put to rest rumors about McConnell's health and fitness."The ominous photos of her holding him up are really convincing," said Democratic strategist Ally Sammarco."Elaine Chao STUNS in new McConnell proof of life photo," joked The Bulwark's Brendan Hartnett."They're gonna continue this charade to run out the clock, and Dems are just gonna sit on their hands and let them do it," sighed writer Ron Merz. "So tired of the bringing a plastic spoon to a gunfight.""Time to appoint a living Senator," grumbled former political candidate Robert Jon Anderson."This is not remotely good enough," seethed popular X user PattiO. "We need a video with Mitch McConnell discussing domestic and foreign policy in real time like he's supposedly doing with his staff. Stop treating the American people like worthless peasants.""Who signed their name to that statement? Nobody? Oh," wondered widely followed X user Schrödinger's Litter Box. "So nobody has confirmed he is still alive.""We are doing this again?" asked Democratic strategist Adam Parkhomenko."It’s an impressive achievement when your press team releases a photo to prove you’re still breathing, and the public’s immediate consensus is that the pixels were rendered by Midjourney," marveled widely followed Bluesky user Luca Migo."It IS notable that for the proof of life instead of 'today's paper' they have substituted 'a reported desire to feast on mutton,'" laughed writer and editor Amanda Katz. "If my family ever tells you I'm doing just great and craving mutton as usual, just can't come to the phone right now, you have my permission to call the police."
