Absolute truth: Trump spoke at the Heritage Foundation as they kicked off Project 2025, and there’s video
Here, this is important; if anyone believes Trump’s lies about not knowing anything about Heritage Foundation / Project 2025 / Mandate for Leadership, here he is speaking to the Heritage Foundation in 2022 as they’re kicking off the project to build the “detailed plans for exactly what our movement will do.”
This is as firm a proof that he’s knowingly lying as could ever be had. It’s direct proof that he was lying, from his own mouth, in his own words, on audio and video. Use it.

Some of the reasons behind this are unavoidable and pretty basic (experience and season of your life makes a difference).

Dear (predominantly white, male -- not relevant, just mentioning) pundits/influencers hyperventilating about medical issues you are NOT qualified to offer an opinion on:
Has it occurred to you who benefits MOST from the Democratic Party being portrayed as divided a month before the convention? Think about it.
Here's a little #Wordle puzzle that may help.
We are NOT divided, by the way. Ask a person of color who's a registered Democrat if you're curious about this.
Then LISTEN.

In case there was any question that "Biden's age" is a dog whistle for "Kamala's color" to those on the right, the GOP wanted to make it abundantly clear.
From the Axios article: "A new digital ad by the GOP's House campaign arm features Vice President Harris.
Why it matters: Trying to leverage concerns about President Biden's age, Republicans are increasingly pushing the idea that a vote for him is really a vote for his running mate."
