Walsh had written on X, formerly Twitter: “Now that the election is over I think we can finally say that yeah actually Project 2025 is the agenda. Lol”
“Matt Walsh, I think, is a very smart and funny guy,” Bannon said. “Put that everywhere,” he added, with instructions to his staff to promote the post on his social media.
Right-wing podcast Benny Johnson also gloated about the project. “It is my honor to inform you all that Project 2025 was real the whole time,” he wrote.
In a separate post, Tarrant County GOP Chair Bo French wrote, “So can we admit now that we are going to implement Project 2025?”
Miller is facing two counts of intentionally signing false certificates and one count of casting an illegal vote. It is unclear if she will still be allowed to recast her vote before Election Day.
More than half of the living US recipients of the Nobel Prize for economics signed a letter that called Vice President Kamala Harris’ economic agenda “vastly superior” to the plans laid out by former President Donald Trump.
Musk has also used his platform to go head-to-head with election officials who try to refute his conspiracies. This weekend he posted on X claiming that Michigan has more registered voters than eligible citizens. Michigan Secretary of State Joceyln Benson responded with a correction, saying that there are not more voters than citizens in the state. "There are 7.2 million active registered voters and 7.9 million citizens of voting age in our state," her post said. "@elonmusk is spreading dangerous disinformation."
Non-citizen voting is not widespread, and it is already illegal for non-citizens to vote in national elections. Non-citizens who vote can face fines, prison time, or even deportation. A Washington Post analysis of the conservative Heritage Foundation's data found that of 2 billion votes cast since 1979, there were only 85 cases involving allegations of non-citizen voting.
This week, I asked Kelly about their exchange. He told me that when Trump raised the subject of “German generals,” Kelly responded by asking, “‘Do you mean Bismarck’s generals?’” He went on: “I mean, I knew he didn’t know who Bismarck was, or about the Franco-Prussian War. I said, ‘Do you mean the kaiser’s generals? Surely you can’t mean Hitler’s generals? And he said, ‘Yeah, yeah, Hitler’s generals.’ I explained to him that Rommel had to commit suicide after taking part in a plot against Hitler.” Kelly told me Trump was not acquainted with Rommel.
Elon Musk’s multimillion-dollar plan to help Donald Trump is hilariously crumbling.
Trump’s allies have been begging him to ditch Musk and his malfunctioning canvassing efforts, as conservative activists and leaders report that they’ve seen little of the efforts Musk has apparently poured $75 million into over the last few months.
According to a legal brief laid out by special counsel Jack Smith, unsealed in a federal court on Wednesday, Giuliani typed the wrong number into his phone when attempting to text a Michigan lawmaker
The central pillar of Trump’s economic plan is widespread tariffs on all imported goods, with penalties appearing to increase depending on how much he dislikes the country. Economists have warned that such a policy could have devastating effects on American consumers, who would be saddled with increased costs for all imported goods.
When questioned about the specifics of his plan, and if he was aware of its pitfalls, Trump seemed ignorant of basic economic principles, insisting that other countries, not American consumers, would pay for the tariffs.
Micklethwait tried to explain the actual impact. “Three-trillion worth of imports and you will add tariffs to every single one of them, and push up the cost for all of these people to buy foreign goods,” he said. “That is just simple mathematics.”
“We also sent equipment at the beginning of the pandemic,” Peskov said in a written response when asked about the book.
“They are allowed to raise whatever money they want and they don’t have to say where they got it,” said Martha Joynt Kumar, an emeritus professor of political science at Towson University who has studied presidential transitions.
An investigation led by the Democratic senator Sheldon Whitehouse also found that both the Trump White House and the FBI “misled the public and the Senate” about the scope of the investigation it did conduct into the sexual assault allegations by falsely claiming that the FBI had conducted its investigation thoroughly and “by the book”.
“They’re being treated very badly in the Republican areas. They’re not getting water, they’re not getting anything.” Elsewhere, he declared that “Kamala spent all her FEMA money, billions of dollars, on housing for” — you guessed it — “illegal migrants.” These allegations of a politically motivated emergency response are false, but they have discouraged people in need of aid from going to the agency for help. (And, as it turns out, Politico reports, it was Mr. Trump who as president hesitated to give disaster relief to blue parts of the country.)
Ryan Routh portrayed himself online as a man who built housing for homeless people in Hawaii, tried to recruit fighters for Ukraine to defend itself against Russia, and described his support and then disdain for Donald Trump — even urging Iran to kill him.
A viral pic of an Ohio guy lugging around 2 geese is blowing up after Donald Trump’s bizarre pet-munching Haitian immigrant claims ... but we're told the photo’s just being twisted to fit the former prez's narrative, and what's actually going on is far less dramatic.
Political appointees rejected efforts to search for additional evidence investigators believed might provide answers, then closed the case
"At best, he's mistaken, but at worst he's just outright lying," Emily Baden told CNN's Erin Burnett on OutFront.
Baden said the verbal exchange with Alito's wife, Martha-Ann Alito, that the justice claimed was the reason for his wife flying the upside-down flag—associated with supporters of former president Donald Trump's baseless claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him—occurred in the middle of February 2021.
Trump’s view would effectively hand the president a dictatorship
