I wrote this Wednesday, drawing on search data and social media evidence.

But I got anecdotal confirmation last night. I was a 4th party and spoke to an educator from a suburban district who expressed worry about "plan 2025 or whatever it's called."

He couldn’t be more wrong, as Trump has pushed for several policy ideas that come out of Project 2025’s playbook, such as Schedule F. Also, his own super PAC is promoting Project 2025, and Russ Vought and John McEntee have key roles in creating Project 2025, along with Paul Dans and Kevin Roberts.

Sunshine repeated the dismissive tripe later in the day on Fox Noise’s The Story with guest host Bret Baier.

however, if Biden bows out, he endorses the resignation of Joe Biden from the Presidency to help Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party's chances to win in November.

In the United Kingdom, the Rishi Sunak-led disaster class Tories have been sent packing at the ballot box and fall down to Official Opposition Status at around 120 seats, as Keir Starmer’s Labour is set to make mammoth gains. The Lib Dems recovered to become the 3rd largest party in Westminster.

In the event that President Joe Biden decides to step down from the nomination, VP Kamala Harris is the likely candidate to rally around to replace him should it come to fruition.

Yet another destructive consequence of the Loper Bright Enterprises ruling in action, as Louis Guirola cited that ruling to justify blocking enforcement of new anti-discrimination rules in health care for transgender Americans in Tennessee v. Becerra.

The outcome is expected to be a major boon for Labour (and the Liberal Democrats) and a giant catastrophe for the scandal-ridden Tories after 14 years of governance (the last 9 of which were outright), and that the next PM is expected to be Keir Starmer (Lab).

Balko said it best here: "MAGA’s beef with the system isn’t that justice has been weaponized, it’s that it has been weaponized against them. Their answer isn’t to insulate the system from politics, it’s to ratchet up the politicization, then aim it at their enemies."

Dear right-wing media (and large chunks of the MSM), Donald Trump hasn’t exercised any “discipline” since the debate. Trump is still the same old unhinged autocrat wannabe he is, so stop making the “pivot” happen!

In the event of Joe Biden having to step down from his nomination for the Democratic Party, right-wing operatives such as The Heritage Foundation would hatch plans to prevent the ballot placement of a potential Biden replacement (likely VP Kamala Harris).

On non-aligned and right-wing Facebook pages, anti-electric vehicle content-- likely fueled by a mix of climate crisis denial and culture war resentments-- draws lots of reliable engagement, in contrast to the reality of increased EV adoption in recent years.
