RINOs Sabotaging the MAGA Agenda: How Establishment Republicans Are Teaming Up with Democrats to Block Trump’s Loyal Nominees

In a fiery Fox News appearance (Above), Acting U.S. Attorney Alina Habba didn’t hold back, directly calling out Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) for single-handedly blocking her Senate confirmation as U.S. Attorney for New Jersey. As highlighted in Nick Sortor’s viral X post, Habba accused the longtime senator of siding with Democrats to thwart President Trump’s agenda, upholding the archaic “blue slip” rule that Biden’s crew conveniently ignored. “What are you doing, @ChuckGrassley ? Why are you siding with the Democrats?!” Sortor demanded, echoing the frustration of millions of Trump supporters who see this as yet another betrayal by RINOs—Republicans In Name Only—who prioritize swamp politics over America First.

This incident isn’t isolated; it’s part of a insidious pattern where establishment GOP senators collude with leftists to sabotage Trump’s appointments, ensuring the deep state remains intact. The RINO infestation must be eradicated if Trump is to drain the swamp and deliver on his promises. Grassley’s obstruction of Habba exemplifies how RINOs weaponize Senate traditions to protect the status quo. The blue slip, a courtesy allowing home-state senators to veto nominees, was ditched by Democrats under Biden, yet Grassley clings to it like a lifeline, blocking dozens of Trump’s picks including loyalists like Habba.

He’s even placed holds on three Treasury nominees—Brian Morrissey, Francis Brooke, and Jonathan McKernan—over bogus disputes on energy tax credits, delaying critical reforms. At 91 years old and in office for nearly half a century, Grassley embodies the term-limits nightmare, more interested in playing games than supporting the president who delivered historic GOP majorities. As Sortor’s post racked up thousands of likes, conservatives flooded X demanding Grassley’s ouster, with one user blasting him as a “POS” who needs to be called out. This betrayal isn’t new; it’s the same playbook RINOs used in Trump’s first term to slow-walk confirmations and protect their deep-state allies. Look no further than Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC), who torpedoed Trump’s nominee for D.C. U.S. Attorney, Ed Martin, allowing activist Judge James Boasberg to handpick a leftist replacement.

Tillis’s refusal to back Martin, a true conservative warrior, handed control of D.C. prosecutions to the swamp, undermining Trump’s efforts to clean house. Similarly, Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and Susan Collins (R-ME)—notorious RINOs—vowed to block Pete Hegseth’s nomination for Defense Secretary, citing flimsy excuses while ignoring Biden’s radical appointees. These “moderates” have a history of crossing the aisle to sabotage GOP priorities, from voting with Democrats on impeachment to stalling judicial picks. Murkowski and Collins even opposed Trump’s Supreme Court nominees in the past, proving their loyalty lies with the establishment, not the base. Outgoing Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is the kingpin of this RINO cabal, deliberately slow-walking Trump’s nominees while coordinating with Chuck Schumer to maintain the filibuster stranglehold.

McConnell’s team has been in talks with Trump’s camp, but his actions speak louder: he’s blocked key appointments, forcing Trump to threaten recess appointments. In July, Trump lashed out at McConnell and his minions for voting against a Pentagon pick, with J.D. Vance slamming the “RINO traitor” for undermining the agenda. McConnell’s sabotage echoes his first-term antics, where he allowed Democrats to filibuster routine nominees, leaving hundreds of positions vacant and hamstringing Trump’s reforms. As Sean Davis noted on X, McConnell and Speaker Mike Johnson are holding sham “pro forma” sessions during recesses to block Trump’s recess appointments, deliberately obstructing over 262 nominees, including 50+ federal judges.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD), McConnell’s heir apparent, is no better, dragging his feet on confirmations and enabling Democrat obstruction Thune’s leadership has seen Democrats filibuster every Trump pick, refusing even voice votes—a level of partisanship unseen under Biden. Conservatives like Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) have called for fighting back, backing recess appointments if Dems—and their RINO enablers—won’t budge. Thune, along with Sens. John Cornyn (R-TX) and others, has been accused of blocking judicial nominees, with X users urging no donations to the RNC until MAGA takes control. This internal sabotage allows radicals to remain in power, from DOJ holdovers to activist judges who rule against Trump at every turn. The RINO problem runs deeper, with figures like former Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) and Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) openly plotting against Trump in the past, voting for impeachment and siding with Pelosi’s Jan. 6 witch hunt.

Alina Habba, the acting U.S. Attorney for New Jersey, knocked Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) on Thursday, after a federal judge ruled she lacks the authority to serve as the Garden State’s top federal prosecutor.

Even now, lame-duck RINOs like McConnell are pushing last-minute deals with Schumer to lock in spending and block Trump’s reforms. Trump’s allies, like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), have blasted these traitors, calling for primaries against disloyal Republicans. In Florida, Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) emerged victorious over McConnell’s machine, reshaping the Senate for MAGA. But more must be done: term limits, ending blue slips, and purging RINOs like Grassley, Tillis, and Thune. This betrayal isn’t just political; it’s a direct assault on the will of the people who elected Trump with a massive mandate. As David J. Harris Jr. tweeted, Democrats are using every trick to block nominees, but RINOs are complicit. Suburban Black Man warned that without the right people, nothing gets done.

Even Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) expressed concern that some Senate RINOs won’t support Trump’s picks, worrying it could derail the agenda. The media piles on, with ABC, CBS, and NBC spewing uniformly negative coverage of Trump’s Cabinet, ignoring Biden’s disasters. Trump has fought back, bypassing the Senate with acting appointments like Habba’s, but the RINO-Dem alliance forces endless battle. As one X user put it, “Leader Thune and Senate GOP are definitely stopping President Trump’s nominees.” The solution? Primary challenges funded by patriots like Elon Musk, who vows to unseat RINOs voting against Trump’s bills. Trump himself has called for ousting these saboteurs, labeling them as worse than Democrats. The MAGA movement must unite to expose and expel these infiltrators, ensuring Trump’s second term isn’t crippled by internal enemies. The RINO infestation ends now—or America First dies with it.
