"'I never thought leopards would eat MY face,' sobs woman who voted for the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party,"
Don’t trust any GOP plans over 30.
Where did Project 2025 come from? The highest levels of the MAGA Trump elite wrote Project 2025 as a blueprint for Trump to implement if he wins a second term. This same group of advisors and allies got Trump to adopt most of their agenda in 2017, but this time their Project 2025 agenda is even more extreme and dives into almost every aspect of Americans’ daily life. And they’ll be able to accomplish it by firing civil servants and installing loyalists into the federal government to do their bidding. Fortunately, we have access to it in time to warn America and stop their power grab.

A member of the closed-door Republican Party platform committee meeting unleashed her own fury after the committee voted to pass former President Donald Trump's policies into the party as a whole.
Political director Matt Smith of WISN12News Milwaukee caught up with Gail Ruzicka, a platform committee member from Utah, who was incensed.
"I've never seen this happen before. I don't understand why they did it, and I'm extremely disappointed that we do not have any pro-life language," she said about the GOP's new policy that rejects the federal ban on abortion.

One solution being floated by some Democratic activists foresees a truncated rerun of the primary, targeting delegates. Candidates could throw their hats in the ring and spend a few weeks running a positive campaign for themselves with forums and so on. It is the sort of proposal that appeals deeply to the vanities of the pundit-donor class, people who think they know how best for everyone, Biden included, to proceed. It is a useful point of reference, though, as it demands consideration of how this would actually unfold: the party spending weeks fighting with itself in public and building new resentments among supporters of ultimately unsuccessful candidates.
Biden has offered no indication that he plans to stand down; quite the opposite. (This is in part because — to the first question above — it’s not clear what evidence he can offer to resolve existing concerns.) On “Morning Joe,” Biden disparaged the “elites” who were demanding he withdraw, part of an effort to rally support from rank-and-file Democrats. But those Democrats, like many “elites,” are worried that Biden is putting the effort to defeat Trump at risk. In that same interview, Biden presented his candidacy as an essential bulwark against a second Trump administration. Lots of Democrats think he’s making such a future more likely, not less.
In other words, the party is already roiled in a public, weeks-long fight. There are three resolutions to it: Biden steps aside (potentially starting a new, more ferocious fight), Democrats fall back in line behind him, or Election Day arrives.

When Donald Trump embarked upon a lengthy complaint at a recent rally about how long it takes to wash his “beautiful luxuriant hair” due to his shower’s low water pressure, he highlighted the expanding assault he and Republicans are launching against even the most obscure environmental policies—a push that’s starting to influence voters.
In his bid to return to the White House, Trump has branded Joe Biden’s attempt to advance electric cars in the US “lunacy,” claiming such vehicles do not work in the cold and that their supporters should “rot in hell.” He’s called offshore wind turbines “horrible,” falsely linking them to the death of whales, while promising to scrap incentives for both wind and electric cars.
But the former US president and convicted felon, who has openly solicited donations from oil and gas executives in order to follow industry-friendly priorities if re-elected, has also spearheaded a much broader attack on a range of mundane rules and technologies that enable water and energy efficiency.
