Trump has publicly rejected Project 2025 as Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign has sought to tie him to some of the plan’s most extreme proposals. But in private, Vought said that those disavowals were merely “graduate-level politics.”

If you aren't averse to Reddit, there's a subreddit devoted to Project 2025. Lots of info there. https://www.reddit.com/r/Defeat_Project_2025/
Project 2025 is a plan spearheaded by Heritage Foundation, a Christian Right juggernaut, for controlling (and in some cases dismantling) federal agencies in the event that a Republican wins the presidency.

Project 2025’s 180-Day Playbook is a remarkably detailed guide to turning the United States into a fascist’s paradise.
He also said "they should do it publicly for everybody to see."

" legal observers worry that the most serious tool the U.S. Constitution provides to rein in a public official is being misused as partisan weapon"
Dear legal observers: don't "worry," state the bloody obvious clearly. The House GOP has abused the most serious tool the U.S. Constitution provides to carry out a purely partisan attack.

Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley’s recent First Things essay, “Our Christian Nation,” may warm the hearts of Christian nationalists and confound historians and theologians who worry about continuing threats to the separation of church and state.

"Lucifer in the flesh"--Ted's fellow Republican John Boehner. As Cruz’s former college roommate, Craig Mazin, once put it, “One thing Ted Cruz is really good at: uniting people who otherwise disagree about everything else in a total hatred of Ted Cruz.” George W. Bush: “I just don’t like the guy.” Bob Dole: “I don’t know how he’s going to deal with Congress. Nobody likes him.” John Boehner: “I have Democrat friends and Republican friends. I get along with almost everyone, but I have never worked with a more miserable son of a removed in my life.” Lindsey Graham: “If you killed Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate, and the trial was in the Senate, nobody would convict you.”

State Sen. Mayes Middleton admitted the true intent of his chaplains-in-schools bill
Dozens of members of Congress joined with multitudes of religious-right activists for a “National Gathering for Prayer and Repentance” at the Museum of the Bible on Wednesday. Hosted by Jim Garlow of Well Versed ministry and Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council, the hours-long event featured wave after wave of politicians and activists taking the stage to deliver various prayers, many anodyne but some more targeted and political.

As long as Trump can pay his lawyers (or Trump's friends can pay), expect stuff like this to happen. Those who can afford it get a different level of justice. See, e.g., Paxton in Texas. Compare that with all the poor saps who can't make bail and get locked up pending trial with only an overworked PD to help them.

My dad worked for a major bank. Sometimes when an employee stole money from the bank, it made the news. Other times, the bank kept quiet about it. You don't always hear about this stuff because the business is too embarrassed to make it public.

As someone who went through a no-fault divorce, I can say the process is difficult and expensive enough already. It is definitely not easy, and it is not as easy as changing your underwear, contrary to what some right wing liar may tell you. And as the article points out, no-fault divorce has been of enormous benefit to women. Ending no-fault divorce is about controlling and dominating women, full stop.

Hate on Biden all you want, but please vote for him. Trump is worse. Trump was behind moving the US embassy to Jerusalem. Trump instituted a ban on travel to the USA from some (note some) Muslim majority countries. If Trump gets elected, expect Project 2025 to come to fruition.
