Another one just jumped ship.
MAGA Congressman Troy Nehls abruptly announced he’s leaving Congress, becoming the sixth pro-Trump House Republican to bow out as panic spreads through the GOP like wildfire. His announcement wasn’t calm, or thoughtful, or strategic. It felt like a warning siren—a sign that the red wave of resignations is only beginning.
Publicly, Nehls framed it as a “family decision.”
Privately, Republicans are whispering something very different:
They know they’re about to lose the House—and they don’t want to be in the blast zone when it happens.
But Nehls’ own history adds a darker twist.
This Texas congressman—who proudly wore Trump merch on the House floor—was fired from the Richmond Police Department in 1998 after 19 separate violations, including destruction of evidence, abuse of authority, and false statements. His termination was upheld. Yet he became one of the loudest soldiers in Trump’s political army, bragging that if Trump said “jump three feet and scratch your head,” he’d gladly do it.
Now that same soldier is running.
And he’s not alone.
According to high-level GOP sources, more resignations are coming. Punchbowl News reported a tinderbox inside the Republican caucus—“pissed-off,” demoralized, intimidated, fed up with the Trump regime’s threats and humiliation tactics. Even senior Republicans admit morale has never been worse. They say the White House treats them “like garbage,” and Speaker Mike Johnson is too weak to protect his own majority.
Behind the scenes, they’re openly predicting the GOP will lose the House—and lose it before the midterms.
Not next year.
Now.
If enough resignations hit before November, the Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries becomes Speaker.
And Trump knows it.
That’s why he’s lashing out—especially in places he has no business meddling.
The latest flashpoint?
Indiana.
Trump personally pressured state Republicans to illegally gerrymander their districts early—before the next redistricting cycle even begins. State senators exposed the plot publicly, accusing Trump of violating the Hatch Act, intimidating lawmakers, and even triggering swatting attempts against those who resisted him. One senator said he refused Trump’s invitation because:
“Doesn’t he have anything better to do? … He’s afraid he’s going to lose the midterms, then be impeached.”
Another GOP senator, a father of a daughter with Down syndrome, slammed Trump for using slurs against Gov. Tim Walz:
“His choices of words have consequences. I will vote NO.”
The Republican Party is no longer fighting Democrats.
It’s fighting itself.
Meanwhile, more cracks are exploding nationwide.
Marjorie Taylor Greene is resigning.
Republicans in Tennessee face a political earthquake as Democratic challenger Afton Bain surges in one of the reddest districts in America.
And business leaders—from Silicon Valley to Wall Street—are distancing themselves from Trump. Even JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon said he won’t donate to Trump’s ballroom project because:
“We’re thinking about how the next DOJ will treat all of this.”
Translation:
A post-Trump world is coming.
And corporate America doesn’t want its fingerprints on anything tied to his abuses of power.
The era of fear is fading.
The era of accountability is rising.
The MAGA ship is sinking.
And the rats aren’t walking away—they’re running.
And if the next resignations fall where insiders expect them to… the speakership could flip overnight.
That’s the shockwave Trump fears most.
