My latest:

Remember when the Project 2025 head said "We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be"?

Turns out that wasn't an off the cuff remark -- the sentiment is repeated throughout his now-delayed book. Image @mmfa has a galley copy of Kevin Roberts' Dawn's Early Light. Publication has been delayed amid a political crisis for Trump over his connections to Project 2025.

Roberts casts the modern conservative movement in revolutionary terms.

New: Heritage president Kevin Roberts is delaying publication of his book amidst Project 2025 backlash.

Unfortunate for him, as media matters already has a galley copy and I'm blogging it as I read through: Image In Dawn's Early Light, Roberts says the advent of birth control was part of a conspiracy to destroy the American family.

JD Vance wrote the foreword, calling the book an "essential weapon" in the "fights that lay ahead"

JD Vance follows a who's who of extremists on Twitter, including antisemites, conspiracy theorists, and white supremacists.

Thread on the weirdos and freaks that the VP candidate follows: 🧵 Pedro Gonzalez is a right-wing influencer who has said "as a group" Jews are "problematic" and advocated for "screening them for movements"

Project 2025 isn't going anywhere and a rebrand doesn't erase its deep connections to Trumpworld.

Don't take it from me. In June, Heritage Foundation president said Project 2025 will live on “for the next century in the United States”
"Winding down its policy operations" is misleading.

The policy work has been largely complete since they published their 900 page book in April 2023. Project 2025 includes an indispensible concentration of policy proposals in the conservative movement mediamatters.org/heritage-found…

I'll be tracking MAGA media's reaction to Trump being found guilty verdict on all counts here:, follow along if interested 🧵

Steve Bannon: "This won't hurt him at all" Fox News' Jeanine Pirro: "We have been calling it lawfare. I think lawfare is far too soft, it's far too benign. This is warfare."

NEW: @mmfa has launched a major new project tracking Trump's closest advisers across the entire right-wing media. This resource will be updated on a weekly basis.

A thread on who's who in Trumpworld 2.0: mediamatters.org/donald-trump/g…
Image We are tracking a close-knit circle of operatives -- from podcast hosts to think tank presidents to far-right internet trolls, based on public reporting on who's exerting influence behind the scenes on Trump.

Christian Zionist Michelle Bachmann tells Charlie Kirk at Amfest conference:

"It's time that Gaza ends. The 2 million people who live there, they are clever assassins. they need to be removed from that land, that land needs to be turned into a national park."

Crowd cheers Bachman was on for several segments, during which she and Kirk pushed the white supremacist Great Replacement conspiracy theory, said Muslims shouldn't be serving in congress, said Somalians are turning Minnesota into a terrorist hellhole, I could go on.

It was completely insane

Antisemites in right-wing media are mask off like I've never seen before. Consensus that this is the path forward is hardening.

Charlie Kirk today: “Some of the largest financiers of left-wing anti-white causes have been Jewish Americans” mediamatters.org/charlie-kirk/c…

Kirk is endorsing Elon Musk's antisemitic conspiracy theory that Jews are using immigration to destabilize the country, which he described as "the actual truth"

Lachlan Murdoch is now the sole chairman of his family's media empire.

He is a dangerous ideologue who unwaveringly backed Tucker Carlson's white supremacy on the network.

A thread on what to expect from Rupert's son: mediamatters.org/murdoch-family… Big picture: Lachlan is inheriting a volatile media landscape and simply does not have the chops of his father and Roger Ailes to take Fox into the future.

NEW from my team @mmfa: Inside the "tradwife" battle roiling right-wing media

Conservative influencers are fighting over the question: Exactly how misogynistic should they be? mediamatters.org/blazetv/right-… In recent months, TPUSA’s Alex Clark, BlazeTV's Allie Beth Stuckey, Mikhaila Peterson, and others have taken aim at two insurgent communities that — like Clark et al. — speak to or about young women: "tradewives" and the "manosphere"

NEW: I went to Turning Point USA's Young Women's Leadership Summit in Texas this weekend.

Famous career women in right-wing media repeatedly told the audience of college and high school age girls: Give up your dreams to get married and have babies. mediamatters.org/charlie-kirk/c… This exchange between an audience member and Charlie Kirk really exemplifies the entire weekend.

She tells him she's a student who dreams of being a surgeon and isn't interested in marriage.

Kirk: "You’re going to have to choose which one matters more.”

Tucker Carlson interviewed Barnett (the Nancy Pelosi desk guy) for the fascist "Patriot Purge" dic in Nov 2021.

Carlson portrayed Barnett as a victim and patriotic martyr, and defended him carrying a stun gun. For the doc, he posed Barnett at a desk as a troll.

THREAD ⬇️ "Patriot Purge" was a highly controversial Fox Nation documentary in which Carlson sought to rehab the architects of the attack on the Capitol, including Ali Alexander and Alex Jones mediamatters.org/fox-nation/tuc…

NEW from me: Russian state TV and American right-wing media are pushing the same line of attack on WNBA player Brittney Griner almost verbatim in the wake of her release.

Follow along here: mediamatters.org/matt-walsh/rig… Multiple right-wing media personalities have pitted Griner’s freedom against that of Paul Whelan, a former Marine who has been accused of espionage by the Russian government. They're saying Griner was released only because she is a Black lesbian

The right-wing media has been on a vitriolic hate campaign against Brittney Griner for the last 24 hours.

Deferring to Russia holding her captive, they're winding their audience up with racist, misogynist, and homophobic attacks and labeling her a criminal.

The last three of Tim Pool's shows have all featured guests with direct ties to white nationalism, including Holocaust deniers.

His audience of hundreds of thousands on @YouTube is a gathering space for extremists ImageImageImage The editor in chief of his website is a failed alt-right darling who previously worked for Russian state media.

A week ago Donald Trump threatened American Jews to "get their act together" "before it is too late" on his social media website.

The right-wing media has turned up the volume on antisemitism considerably.
