MODERATORS
 

Russ Vought, the former president’s budget director, is laying the groundwork for a broad expansion of presidential powers.

I'd generally call his vision an Americanized version of fascism, and it seems to be shared by a broad swath of the Republican leadership and billionaire donors.

The trick is for a coalition of independent journalists to find irrefutable evidence of the connection in early September so it has a chance to cycle out of the news before someone smacks Trump with it in October. It needs to be new enough to be remembered, old enough to not be linked, and disconnected from either party enough to seem unbiased. It won't mean a damn thing to the right, but it might be enough for questioning moderates.

Yea, this is precisely what I suspect they'll try so uh... expect some Project 2025 opinion pieces in the NYT in mid-september. And then we'd likely see some direct questions, in theory Trump might be concerned about rejecting Project 2025 because it'd alienate his base, but the outcome Democrats would be hoping for is for him to embrace it.

The NYT will probably also write a bunch of galaxy brain stuff about #BidenSoOld and gEnOcIdEjOe to even anything out for the horse race/good people on both sides...
