The ruthlessness the indictments detail won't convince the former President's base to abandon him, but it better unite those who care about the rule of law, the project's founders say. Former President Donald Trump’s indictment for trying to subvert the 2020 election has some of his fiercest critics believing these charges will not keep Trump from reclaiming the White House. The unprecedented details of a U.S. President hitting such levels of depravity and ruthlessness to hang onto power has to be a call to arms for all sane Americans, according to a statement from Reed Galen and Rick Wilson, co-founders...

The anti-Trump Republican group that spent more than $80 million in 2020 helping to knock the former president out of the White House is now turning its fire on Gov. Greg Abbott. The Lincoln Project announced on Friday it will air an ad during the Texas Longhorns versus Rice Owls football game to highlight how many people have died in the state, blaming Abbott’s handling of the response to the disease. “We’re reminding Texans—and all Americans—that there are real and deadly consequences to playing politics with public health,” said Lincoln Project co-founder Reed Galen. “Gov. Greg Abbott has failed Texas...

The Lincoln Project was founded by a group of rabidly anti-Trump Republican and former Republican consultants. Their attack ads, often tougher than those produced by Democrats, were a huge hit with the rabidly anti-Trump Resistance. The Lincoln Project paired those ads with an aggressive fundraising effort, and the money poured in, mostly in small donations: more than $90 million in all. Where did the money go? It's been known for a while that the Lincoln Project directed a lot of the donors' money to companies that just happened to be controlled by members of the Lincoln Project. A new article...

Twenty-one men have come forward to accuse longtime Republican strategist John Weaver of sexually harassing them online. The New York Times outlined interviews with those 21 accusers - many who were not named - in an article published Sunday. It came two weeks after Weaver publicly admitted to sending inappropriate messages to men and stepped down from the Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump super PAC he co-founded. The accusers described how Weaver, 61, groomed and preyed on them for years with unsolicited promises to help them get work in politics in exchange for sex. 'Help you other times. Give advice, counsel,...

s their preferred candidate crashes in national polls and the race tightens to a dead heat in Joe Biden’s must-win states, NeverTrump “conservatives” are once again taking their marching orders from Democrats. The death, destruction, and mayhem besieging Democratic-run cities across the country, NeverTrump dutifully recites, is all Donald Trump’s fault. Team Biden crafted the inane talking points to deflect concerns that the violence in cities such as Portland and Kenosha rapidly was backfiring on Democrats; scenes of angry mobs attacking Trump supporters, including Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and his wife, leaving the White House late Thursday night after the...

Last spring, after the governor all but declared war on union leaders and other Democratic interests, Republicans sat and watched as the unions led an offensive that helped drag down the governor's poll ratings, and doom his special election agenda. Under the watch of new campaign manager Steve Schmidt and communications director Katie Levinson, both fresh off the plane from the Bush White House, Team Schwarzenegger is determined not to make the same mistake again. "For California Republicans who were frustrated last year by the lack of an aggressive response out of the governor's operation, they'll be very pleasantly surprised...
