Which side of Glenn Youngkin will Virginia get?

The Lincoln Project   Friend,  In less than a month, Virginians will make their decision about who should be in their Governor’s office: a proven leader or a not-so-secret Trump clone.  That Trump clone is Glenn Youngkin, who thinks he can plagiarize Trump’s policies…

RE: Virginia

The Lincoln Project   Friend: You've seen what happens when Trumpists attempt to govern. Florida. Texas. Arizona. The list goes on.  Now they're trying to take Virginia. If Glenn Youngkin - Glenn Trumpkin - wins, you can kiss the state goodbye in 2022 and 2024. Polls…

#LincolnLadies

The Lincoln Project   Friend, As a woman, the rhetoric out of Trump and his enablers scared and disgusted me. As a mother, I felt that it was my duty to fight for a better, safer country for my children. So, I joined The Lincoln Project to take action. Since joining…

Our favorite ads of September

The Lincoln Project   Friend,  If you’re like us, the news cycle this month has your head spinning. We’ve had more life-threatening COVID lies, voter suppression propaganda, attacks on women, and more of the usual pathetic pandering to the Trump mob. With your help, …

What we've been up to recently

The Lincoln Project   Friend, by now you know how The Lincoln Project sees 2022 and 2024 shaking out. You know that we see a divided GOP as the best chance to accelerate their demise into a smoking ruin. You know we're going to take every chance we get to, as Steve p…

We're listening, Friend

They think we forgot

Two prongs to our strategy: Texas and McConnell

The Lincoln Project   I wanted to share with you our view of what is currently going on behind the scenes in the GOP. In short, it is chaos and it is panic. But there is still an underlying confidence because of how the map shapes up for next year. As you know, The L…

A failed insurrection, thanks to you

The Lincoln Project   Friend, you probably saw that the “Justice for J6'' rally had all the makings for another horrifying insurrection on our nation’s Capitol, except for one key ingredient: attendees. The big scary rally was just another long list of Trump-inspired…

we’re causing “panic” on Team Abbott right now

How's it going?

The Lincoln Project   It’s been a crazy week. And tomorrow might get even crazier. But crazy is the new normal for the GOP.  You’re the one keeping us in this fight, Friend. Every time you share one of our ads, read an email, or pitch in, you help us get closer to ch…

Something we very rarely do (2 ads today!)

Don’t show Trump this

The Lincoln Project   You hate to see it, Friend. Especially if you’re Trump. Republican talking heads are turning to a younger, thinner, shinier model who’s just as willing to endanger American lives for political gain. Ron DeSantis is running away with the party Tr…

MTG vs. AT&T

This is what happens when MAGA goes unchecked

You call this pro-life?

An overwhelming response... and what we’re going to do about it

The truth about DeSantis

The Lincoln Project   Friend, now we’ve got it. Turns out, Ron DeSantis’ whole “my freedoms” shtick was a con. Of course it was. The whole reason he’s been so anti-mask and vaccine mandates? DeSantis has gotten over $10m in campaign funds from the biggest investor in…
