Steve Bannon is sounding the alarm: if MAGA wants to win in 2026—and win big, people need to get serious about what he says are the “Three R’s”: Redistricting, Rescissions, and Recess. These are they’re tactical pressure points in the larger war to restore and reinforce President Trump’s America First agenda. Bannon and allies like Caroline Wren talked about it on Monday’s WarRoom, and they are calling out establishment Republicans and urging grassroots warriors to stay focused, stay loud, and demand results before it’s too late.
Let’s break down what Bannon said, because this matters.
QUICK CLIP:
CAROLINE WREN: Career Republicans are sabotaging Trump’s team.
They hate the movement more than they love our country.
Either do your job, or let President Trump make recess appointments.@CarolineWren pic.twitter.com/lrLj3ceFLm

1. Redistricting:
Bannon’s War Room has been hammering this non-stop, and for good reason. Redistricting is about defining political power for the next decade. The left knows this. That’s why they’re trying to stall or block Republican-led redraws, even after previously attacking those very maps. Now that Trump’s GOP is redrawing them with corrected census data, Democrats suddenly think the old ones were just fine. Strange, right?
But here’s the key: fair, legal, and America First–aligned maps ensure conservative voices aren’t diluted in purple and swing states. Redistricting is the battlefield map—and MAGA needs to own it.
2. Rescissions:
This one flies under the radar, but it’s massive. Rescissions are budget clawbacks—basically, canceling wasteful spending that was previously approved. In plain English: we take the government’s bloated credit card and start cutting it up.
The Trump team, according to Bannon, is already laying the groundwork to reverse Biden-era excesses and gut deep-state funding. But it’s not just about saving money—it’s about strategic defunding. If you want to shut down the left’s bureaucratic machine, you don’t just pass new laws—you starve the system of cash.
3. Recess (and Recess Appointments):
This one is urgent. Bannon is furious that the Senate is even thinking about skipping town while President Trump still has 144 unconfirmed nominees waiting in the wings—including judges, U.S. attorneys, and critical agency heads.
Caroline Wren drove it home: if the Senate leaves, President Trump needs the authority to make recess appointments. These allow him to bypass Senate roadblocks and seat people immediately. But weak GOP senators are stalling the process—some, like Tom Tillis and Bill Cassidy, even brag about opposing Trump’s picks harder than Mitt Romney did.
That’s political sabotage from within.
Why this matters right now:
Bannon’s "Three R’s” aren’t theory—they’re a blueprint. Redistricting sets the political battlefield, rescissions slash the enemy’s supply lines, and recess appointments build the command team Trump needs to fight.
Without action on all three, the MAGA movement risks being kneecapped by bureaucracy, establishment cowardice, and legislative delay tactics. This isn’t just about policy—it’s about power. And as Bannon says: "Get it done. No recess. No excuses.”
Final Word:
If you’re part of the MAGA base, understand this: winning elections is step one. Holding power, reshaping government, and crushing opposition takes strategic moves—and that’s what the Three R’s are all about. Don’t let the D.C. uniparty slow-walk us into 2026. The time to act is now.
