MAGA has lost the culture war it started when President Donald Trump entered office in 2016, and it could cost the president his legacy, one GOP analyst declared on Monday.

Rick Wilson, co-founder of The Lincoln Project, argued in a new Substack essay that MAGA's meltdown over the Super Bowl LX halftime show by Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny proved that MAGA had lost the culture war. However, the MAGA crowd can't seem to shake the "grievance act" because it's the only schtick they know, he added.

"The culture war is over, and MAGA lost; QED Bad Bunny and the NFL," Wilson wrote. "They know the grievance act is wearing thin. But like a gambler who’s down a hundred grand at the craps table, they just keep doubling down on the same losing hand."

Since Trump entered politics in 2016, he has consistently preached a message of bringing America through a revival moment that would make the country feel "great" again to the people who voted for him. That message largely resonated with wealthy white voters who saw the country changing more rapidly than they could accept.

"You can’t shout 'fake news!' at a deposition," Wilson added. "You can’t meme your way out of a federal investigation. The mythology is cracking, and the panic in the Trump White House is palpable enough to track on radar."

President Donald Trump is already horrifying both experts and local politicians with his attack on an international bridge project between Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, in Canada.

Specifically, Trump is demanding that the United States own half of the Gordie Howe International Bridge, which was first planned in 2013 under the Barack Obama administration to boost tourism and regional jobs.

"I will not allow this bridge to open until the United States is fully compensated for everything we have given them, and also, importantly, Canada treats the United States with the Fairness and Respect that we deserve," he wrote. "We will start negotiations, IMMEDIATELY. With all that we have given them, we should own, perhaps, at least one half of this asset. The revenues generated because of the U.S. Market will be astronomical."

Trump then went into a bizarre rant claiming that China will forever cancel the Stanley Cup if Canada makes a trade deal with them.

This outburst did not go over well with those knowledgeable of the project.

"OK I've been on team 'he's always ranted incoherently' (after all I posted the crazy Bananas dictator speech regularly during his first term) but this one seems a fair amount more so," wrote political analyst Jonathan Bernstein.

Trump also got sharp rebukes from leaders in Michigan.

"This statement from the President is completely backwards," wrote Sen. Gary Peters. "Michigan’s economy is highly integrated with Canada and the Detroit-Windsor corridor is one of the busiest border crossings for trade in our entire country. We’ve wanted this bridge for years because it will be a boon for our economy. This is another case of the President undermining Michigan businesses and workers."

"The Gordie Howe Bridge was built by union workers on both sides of the border," wrote Rep. Debbie Dingell. "This border is the busiest crossing between our two countries, and has been critical for not only Michigan jobs but also American jobs. Not to mention Canada paid for this bridge. This bridge was negotiated by a Republican Governor, and in 2017 Trump endorsed the bridge calling it a 'vital economic link between our two countries.'"

"Nothing has changed," she added. "We cannot forget Canada is our friend and ally. We have to stop these cheap shots. It helps no one, and it especially hurts our economy. I look forward to the ribbon-cutting."

The Trump administration is yanking $600 million in public health funding from four blue states — California, Colorado, Illinois, and Minnesota — claiming the grants don't align with agency priorities.

Documents obtained by The New York Times reveal the sweeping cuts to programs administered through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The funds, used for hiring staff, modernizing data systems, and managing disease outbreaks, will be terminated over the coming weeks after congressional committees were notified Monday.

Nearly two-thirds of the slashed money came from unspent California allocations. The Department of Health and Human Services claimed the grants simply "no longer reflect" current priorities. About two dozen programs targeted HIV and sexually transmitted infections, according to the report.

The cuts include $7.2 million from the American Medical Association in Illinois, $5.2 million from Chicago's Lurie Children's Hospital for HIV prevention among Black women, and hundreds of thousands more from organizations serving LGBTQ communities.

Dr. Deb Houry, former CDC chief medical officer, slammed the decision.

“It is concerning that H.H.S. is cutting public health funding to local communities that cover core functions in the middle of a measles outbreak and other health threats,” she told the Times. “This coupled with large staffing cuts to federal public health leaves communities less prepared.”

The administration previously paused $5 billion in public health infrastructure grants last month to review alignment with its goals—though that pause was lifted within 24 hours.
