Trump also tried (unconvincingly) to distance himself from Project 2025: "Some on the right -- severe right -- came up with this Project 25 ... I don't know what the hell it is ... some of the things -- they're seriously extreme." (2/4)

Been skeptical of idea that rich Dem donors are intentionally knifing Biden b/c he's cracked down too hard with new regulations but here's a big venture capital guy who thinks we should let Cheney/Sasse/Condoleezza help vet his replacement so yeah, I can see where the theory is comin from

I work in REALITY TV and people would still be laughed out of the room for half of these ideas.

If a writer in my industry pitched ideas like this for a TV show, they would be laughed out of the writers room — and I working *fucking MAKE BELIEVE*… What is WRONG with these people?!

Judge: Trump raped E. Jean Carroll. CNN: But what about all the women Trump didn’t rape?

An interesting editorial angle to take on a man who a court determined is a rapist and whose ex-wife said raped her. Propaganda works and CNN wants Trump to win.

Can somebody point this to any of the motherfuckers who are claiming that shitting on democrats and boosting republicans isn’t an explicit strategy of the New York Times? Please and thank you?

Stunning to me that this image--reinforced by many of the speeches, including Vance's and Trump's-- wasn't at the center of the coverage of the Republican Convention.

Frighteningly expansive, Project 2025 also targets immigrants—and anyone who “looks” like one. The president of the Heritage Foundation, which is behind Project 2025, recently stated their goal: “We need to have the biggest mass deportation system ever.” zacharymueller.substack.com/p/project-20...

Unfortunately over-determined to play up "unity" as news in coverage: -early print deadlines -> reliance on speech as written -anything non-vitriolic from Trump is unusual -helps press look more even-handed But still insane. He attempted a coup and inspired a violent insurrection 3.5 years ago!
