Out today by the Lincoln Project: The latest ad released by The Lincoln Project, “Rushmore,” contrasts the American leaders enshrined on South Dakota’s Mount Rushmore and our current President, ahead of Trump’s planned visit to the monument this Fourth of July weekend.

Just in this morning from the Lincoln Project: During Trump’s poorly-attended rally in Tulsa, Trump admitted what Americans across the country feared: that he commanded public health experts to impede COVID-19 testing for personal, political advantage.

Posted last night by the Lincoln Project: Trump’s got a size problem. It’s not growing, in fact, it’s shrinking. And the whole world saw. We’re talking about Donald Trump’s crowds, of course. Despite a “record-setting one million tickets sold,” the Trump campaign couldn’t fill a 19,000 person stadium in the heart of Trump land. What a letdown. Rick Wilson, co-founder …

“We never imagined that when we name our initiative to defeat the reelection of Donald J. Trump, The Lincoln Project, that the president would go so far as to honor the Confederate generals who fought against the United States of America to preserve slavery and uphold white supremacy. “For all intents and purposes, Donald Trump today became the Confederacy’s second …

Another winner from the Lincoln Project. Announcer: “It took almost four years for Trump to get the crowds he wanted. After years of Donald Trump’s divisiveness and discord, America is coming together. This year we have a choice to make… America or Trump. Imagine how big the crowds will be when he’s gone. A new day begins on November 3rd.”

From a New York Times opinion column: But don’t fool yourself: It will not be easy to remove this awful man. As nice as it was to hear Joe Biden sound like a president this week, it is going to take a heavy, hard and persistent pounding of Trump to oust him. For that, Democrats can learn from the people …

From the Lincoln Project: The Lincoln Project recognizes the long and distinguished national service of General Milley and honors him for it.

Ad Age reports: A conservative political advocacy group is taking on President Donald Trump’s leadership surrounding the coronavirus pandemic in a harsh new ad titled “Mourning in America.” The title of the spot is, of course, a play on one of the most famous political ads of the modern era, 1984’s “Morning in America” from President Ronald Reagan’s re-election campaign. …

From the board of the Lincoln Project: This November, Americans will cast their most consequential votes since Abraham Lincoln’s reelection in 1864.
