      1) Should progressives and liberals trust @ProjectLincoln? Are they full converts, temporary allies of convenience, or a Trojan horse virus that Dems should be wary of? I had a long, spirited talk with one of the group's founders. It got interesting.https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/07/20/does-lincoln-project-have-secret-agenda-answer-is-surprising/ …

      2) Some news in here: @ProjectLincoln is planning to spend eight figures on ads in swing states between now and election day to lure GOP voters away from Trump and defeat GOP Senators. Importantly, this will include a big communication on vote-by-mail.https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/07/20/does-lincoln-project-have-secret-agenda-answer-is-surprising/ …

      3) Here's a fascinating bit of news: @ProjectLincoln will work *against* GOP Senators who try to obstruct Joe Biden's agenda, should he win the presidency. Founder @jwgop tells me the group is wary of any rerun of what GOP Senators did to Obama in 2009: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/07/20/does-lincoln-project-have-secret-agenda-answer-is-surprising/ …pic.twitter.com/kX5Jb03HvP

          4) @ProjectLincoln regularly slams Trump's assaults on democracy and the rule of law. They put out a video on John Lewis. But does this commitment to democracy include continued support for *expanding* voting rights after Trump is gone? They say yes: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/07/20/does-lincoln-project-have-secret-agenda-answer-is-surprising/ …pic.twitter.com/0kX9cu9zOG

          5) What will @ProjectLincoln do if a President Biden/Dem Congress raise taxes on the rich to fund a huge rescue package? Does @ProjectLincoln believe a remade GOP must move away from reflexive tax cuts for the rich? I did something crazy. I asked them: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/07/20/does-lincoln-project-have-secret-agenda-answer-is-surprising/ …pic.twitter.com/TIA8b8llHb

          6) Note this interesting concession from @jwgop, founder of @ProjectLincoln. I asked what blame GOP bears for creating conditions for Trump's rise. He admits doing things like helping elect Jeff Sessions to the Senate was a "brick in the road" to Trump: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/07/20/does-lincoln-project-have-secret-agenda-answer-is-surprising/ …pic.twitter.com/rQE0zW3H6I

          About damn time they figure out how GREAT this country really could be if they all cooperated for a common good. Most successful companies cannot survive long unless there is cooperation and a focus on the priorities.

          I don’t even understand why this is a debate. “Trust” them for what? We want to beat the shit out of Trump & his enablers and so do they. I trust them for that purpose. We aren’t allied beyond that, unless they want to support a progressive agenda, in which case, sure, join us.

          Also, this country needs a *sane* conservative party to emerge at some point imo, so joining forces with a small but loud group of conservatives with a conscience and beliefs rooted in principle is a good thing, long term, imo.

          So massive corporate bailouts and federal intervention in state policies are now Republican policies? Trump seems to support those.

          I think they call this, “Talking from both sides of their mouths.”

          I'm supposed to just trust the people who helped to get us to this place? I appreciate the current help and the ads, but after the election? Yeah, I'm not thinking so.
