Ask Abe a question, any question

The Lincoln Project   Who will be the next January 6th insurrectionist to fall? What does Beto’s announcement mean for Greg Abbott? What does the infrastructure bill mean for the Biden Administration and 2022 prospects? How are early redistricting results affecting t…

Bannon surrenders -- Thank you, Merrick Garland

The Lincoln Project   Friend– Steve Bannon just turned himself in to the FBI. If you have been following the proceedings of the January 6th committee as closely as we have, this news might come as a surprise. The rest of Trump's big-name coconspirators have been cont…

Last week in the Republican Party: Always a new low

The Lincoln Project   Friend,  Marjorie Taylor Greene is unvaccinated, Lindsay Graham doesn’t think kids are entitled to a Kindergarten education, and America’s schools are being indoctrinated by the scary and totally real forces of critical race theory. But, Lets Go…

Looks like it’s *finally* infrastructure week. Wonder what changed?

The Lincoln Project   Friend,  Donald Trump the master builder. Donald Trump the business genius. Donald Trump the President who promised us a long fabled infrastructure week, where “he alone” would deliver us world class roads, bridges, and airports.  How’d that go?…

What issues are going to define the next year?

The Lincoln Project   One year to go, Friend.  We’re halfway through the “off-season,” and already the rules of the game have been turned on their head.  The Big Lie changed everything.  January 6th shocked the country.  Ron DeSantis, Greg Abbott, and other far-right…

War by other means

The Lincoln Project   Friend, The Democratic Party has a huge messaging problem and it could very well cost them the next two cycles. The last century saw a debate on how Western democracies should wage war when attacked. In WW1, the British famously said "Gentlemen …

They're still getting it wrong

Virginia can take a stand against Trumpism today

Youngkin is drawing from a too-old GOP playbook

The Lincoln Project   What’s that sound, Friend? That aggravating, all-too familiar sound? Oh right. Another racist dog-whistle from Trump’s GOP. Glenn Trumpkin has been desperately masquerading as a GOP “good ole boy,” hiding his Trump ties to get the swing votes he…

Here’s what we’re telling Virginia... and the ad that pushed Trump over the edge.

The Lincoln Project   Friend, Biden, Obama, Pence, Cruz… all of the Big Guns are wading into Virginia. Noticeably absent? The Big Gun behind the Big Lie… Trump himself.  Why? Because though he’s been banned from Youngkin rallies, Trump is actually what the Virginia e…
