Project 2025

The Lincoln Project   Friend, This is real. This is what he is going to try to do. We should believe it because he and his allies are saying it out loud. Any sane, normal campaign would run from this at lightning speed. Yet Trump and his coterie of sycophants are em…

Happy holidays to everyone except him

The Lincoln Project   Friend, Happy holidays! I know most of you don’t know me as a man full of merry and joy. I’m the guy who sets Mar-a-lago on fire and makes Trump's holiday meals quieter than church.  But really, this is my favorite time of year. I get to cook fo…
