THREAD: Today, The Lincoln Project received a cease and desist for an ad currently running on Fox News in Mar-a-Lago. As it turns out, these losers can’t stand to be laughed at or mocked, and LaCivita and Wiles apparently didn’t appreciate that our ad states the obvious–
Chris and Susie have royally screwed up Trump’s campaign and selected for him the weirdest ever VP candidate — kookier even than Sarah Palin. Poor Trump. His campaign is in shambles and so is his mind. He brought back Corey Lewandowski—
a man who has never even won a statewide race - and who was fired for reportedly assaulting a female reporter — to babysit Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita. All while his weirdo running mate is having a Jeb Bush “please clap” moment at least once a day.
We understand why he’s angry and low energy these days. He’s just old, weird, and contemplating spending the rest of his life in courtrooms and prison instead of the White House.
Someone needs to tell Trump, Vance, Lewandowski, LaCivita, and Wiles that there’s no crying in politics.
Look, it genuinely sucks when you are about to lose a gig that rapes and pillages the campaign to pay your astronomical CONsulting fees. We would even feel bad for them if they cared about the country more than money and power.
Regardless, if they can’t take the heat, they should probably stay out of the proverbial kitchen.
The ad will stay up. Hell, the money we will raise off of this cease and desist will help us make sure Trump loses Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, Nevada, Georgia, and North Carolina. And we will keep doing more ads like this!
It’s been 1,393 days since Trump last threatened to sue over LP content. That threat was hot air and so is this one. We appreciate the campaign both helping us fundraise and showing us exactly how to effectively spend that money.
We are coming for the Trump campaign and won’t stop until he is no longer a threat to democracy. If they continue to threaten us with frivolous lawsuits, then we may need to stop being nice.

THREAD: Since stepping back into the Oval Office Trump's been purposefully flooding the zone w/ a constant stream of outrage porn to distract. Here's the stories that actually matter that you might've missed this week:
Representative Milliotakis says Doge is making “rash decisions” and needs to act in a more responsible manner.
The US Trade advisor wants to throw Canada out of the Five Eyes intelligence sharing program, which shares information about the joint protection of North America and global security threats.

THREAD: Donald Trump and his boss Elon Musk have spent the last 34 days “streamlining” the government. As predicted, the result of two weirdos “streamlining” a government that has thrived for 250 years is complete chaos. We're fighting them every step of the way. Consider pitching in to help us stop their destruction: action.lincolnproject.us/donate
They’ve blown up entire agencies, fired thousands of essential workers, sent dozens of mixed signals, and generally taken a flame thrower to the federal government. Now, they want to take the next big step: screwing with our budget.
Look, there’s probably nobody more trustworthy than the idiot real estate “mogul” who’s gone bankrupt like 100 times and the billionaire whose stock price is down about 24% over the last month, but the people deserve to know a little bit more than what they’re telling us.

Trump and Elon’s “big beautiful” spending bill can be summarized in one word: cuts.

And where are these big beautiful cuts coming from? Take a look:

THREAD: House GOP wants to ram through a budget package tomorrow, gutting Medicaid to cut taxes for billionaires. Seniors in hospice, disabled children, and workers without employee insurance all get screwed.

These 15 RED districts will suffer the most:
