“even as the Free G.O.P. accepts its outsider status — even as it acknowledges MAGA’s control of the Republican Party — it should identify unwaveringly as the true Republican Party and reject the moral legitimacy of the Trump regime.” #GOP

There are not many conservatives left but Stephen Richer—MaricopaCountyRecorder (prsnl acct) is a principled leader among the few. Enjoyed meeting him at Principles First. The pendulum will swing back and character & integrity will count.

I had the pleasure of meeting Stephen Richer—MaricopaCountyRecorder (prsnl acct) at the Principles First summit and he is a force of nature.

@Stephen_Richer keeps putting principles first and leads when others won’t. Thanks, Stephen. nationalreview.com/corner/a-repub…

🚨 Required #PrinciplesFirst Reading

“There is a Way Out of MAGA Domination” by Jonathan Rauch and Peter Wehner

“A party in exile would establish a gathering point for emerging leaders & fresh thinkers. It would show the public a brighter future.”

Sane, young, constructive, bald politicians of the world...unite😉Jokes aside, these two are among the best of future leadership possibilities for their respective parties. Would like to see either Cox or Moore (would be a return engagement) at our Principles First Summit in 2025

📖 We recommend this book to all Principles Firsters:

“Fitness for office isn’t just a matter of whether a candidate can do the tasks they choose to take on, but also of whether they choose to take on the right tasks.”

I never thought that I'd live in time when we would see Russian propaganda amplified in certain mainstream media outlets and by elected Representatives on the House floor. This needs to be rooted out.

DIMON: “Warren Buffett points out that his company’s success is predicated upon the extraordinary conditions our country creates. He is right to say to his shareholders that when they see the American flag, they all should say thank you. We should, too.” reports.jpmorganchase.com/investor-relat…

🚨🚨 #PrinciplesFirst alert:

US Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH): “It’s absolutely true Russian propaganda has infected a portion of the GOP base.” There are “anti-Ukraine & pro-Russia messages, some of which we even hear on the House floor.”

Thanks, Mike.

🚨🚨 #PrinciplesFirst alert:

Hungarians have had enough of big-government thug Orban shuttering their radio stations and limiting their freedoms in pursuit of his “nationalist-populist” experiment.

The principles of freedom & equality under the law are powerful & inspiring.

🚨🚨 #PrinciplesFirst alert:

Senator John Fetterman continues to lead by putting common sense principles first. It should not be difficult for our leaders to discourage squatting and violent crime.

Keep speaking up. Thanks, Senator.

Bravo to Senator Sen. Lisa Murkowski for refusing to cede the Republican Party to extremists who don’t respect the U.S. constitution 👏🇺🇸 Hopefully Trump will be strongly rebuked this November & the GOP can build a healthier path forward. Principles First alaskapublic.org/2024/04/05/mur…

🚨🚨 #PrinciplesFirst alert:

Bill Kristol: “Those people in the DC jail have been convicted or are about to stand trial for assaulting Capitol Police. So these are the wonderful people Trump's promising to pardon & salutes at his rallies.”

Pretty simple.

So proud to be associated with these groups as part of the Principles First National Grassroots Leadership Committee, with Dave Thul, lisa S Marie🧂Y, and a lot of other great Americans.

Space is filling up at our first Principles First Dinner in Livonia, Michigan on May 18—and it’s still over a month away! We expect to sell out after announcing the program and speakers, so reserve your spot soon and join the principled.

Remember when all republicans talked like this and defended our democracy? Take a minute and listen to Karl Rove.
