'Too chicken': Lincoln Project attorney goads 'coward' Trump to sue them



The general counsel for the Lincoln Project on Thursday dared former President Donald Trump to sue the group.

"So many lawsuits and @realDonaldTrump is still too chicken to bring one against us @ProjectLincoln because he does not want us to get discovery. Sigh. #TrumpIsACoward," wrote Mario Nicolais on X.

He attached a graphic showing Trump-related lawsuits over time, and a link summarizing all of the litigation the former president has brought.

The Lincoln Project, originally founded by former Republican strategists opposed to Trump, has for years gone on the offensive against him, often trolling him with ad buys in areas he is known to be, addressing him directly and mocking him.

The former president has noticed, and often lashed out at the group, at one point accusing them of trying to embarrass him using A.I.-generated videos.

He has also repeatedly threatened the group with legal action, most recently with a cease and desist letter sent last month, over an ad about aides bemoaning the dysfunctional state of Trump's campaign, that says he "looks terrible on camera" and "old."

In response to that threat, the Lincoln Project took to social media to mock him some more.

"The Donald Trump for President campaign hit a bunch of people this afternoon with cease and desist letters because our ads were too mean for little Donnie," stated Rick Wilson, one of the group's co-founders, in a video. "Poor little baby Donald got upset because our ads were mean to him!"

The video was uploaded to X along with the caption, "After careful consideration, The Lincoln Project has decided we will not be pulling our ad down as Donald Trump demanded we do. Also we've decided to point and laugh at him while he cries."

How misinformation could shape the Israel-Hamas war

Image
I wanted to interview Nicholas Grossman regarding the role of misinformation in the war between Israel and Hamas. In particular, I hoped to ask the professor of international relations at the University of Illinois, and senior editor of Arc Digital , about misinformation that arose from American reporting on an explosion at a hospital in Gaza. You know what? I ended up repeating a bit of misinformation! I asked him to lay out the facts about a blast that “killed hundreds, including kids,” and he said nuh-uh (not his words). In fact, Professor Grossman said, “there never were hundreds killed by an explosion at that hospital. Media reported that the hospital was destroyed by an Israeli airstrike killing 500, but that was based on something a Hamas-controlled agency said and was never supported by evidence.” Professor Grossman went on to say “what apparently did happen is something hit a nearby parking lot and caused a smaller explosion, most likely a rocket fired from Gaza towards I

PA GOP Senate candidate who says he 'started with nothing' actually grew up in a mansion

Image
David McCormick, who is Pennsylvania's presumptive Republican U.S. Senate nominee, has often suggested he grew up poor in a rural community. But a new report finds that his upbringing was far more affluent than he's suggested. The New York Times reported Friday that McCormick — a former hedge fund executive who lived in Connecticut as recently as 2022 — has been cagey with voters about his childhood. McCormick has tweeted that he was "raised in Bloomsburg working on his family's farm," said on a 2022 podcast that he " started with nothing " and told CBS News that same year that he " didn't have anything " growing up as the son of two schoolteachers. But according to the Times , McCormick's father, Dr. James H. McCormick , was appointed president of what is now Bloomsburg University by Gov. Milton Schapp (D) in 1973. He moved his family into Buckalew Place — the official mansion for presidents of the school that currently spans 5

'It is his aphrodisiac': Ex-RNC chair explains how gag order 'stimulates' Trump and his base

Image
As President Donald Trump faces gag orders in two separate cases — one from Judge Arthur Engoron presiding over his New York civil fraud trial, and the other from Judge Tanya Chutkan, who will preside of his Washington, DC January 6 trial in March — some experts expect him to violate the orders soon. With a history of threatening and verbally attacking others, MSNBC's Deadline: White House host Nicolle Wallace on Tuesday pointed to the fact the ex-president's rhetoric influenced January 6 rioters who chanted, "Hang Mike Pence!" Noting Trump "gets deeply stimulated and excited by the violence," Wallace asked analyst and ex-Republican National Committee Chair Michael Steele what he thinks the MAGA hopeful's "calculation is on whether violating these gag orders lands him in jail is a good thing or bad thing for him." POLL : Should Trump be allowed to hold office again? Steele replied, "You put your finger on two very important words t
