In undercover recordings produced by the Centre for Climate Reporting, project 2025 co-author Russell Vought touts about his connections to the Trump campaign, and claims that he is close enough to the former president to hand-deliver the proposals concocted by Project 2025 and the Heritage Foundation.

CNN — Last month, Russell Vought sat in a five-star Washington, DC, hotel suite, bowing his head in prayer with two men he thought were relatives of a wealthy conservative donor. Vought, one of the key authors of Project 2025, a right-wing blueprint for a second Trump term, expected the meeting would help his think tank secure a substantial contribution. For nearly two hours, he talked candidly about his behind-the-scenes work to prepare policy for former President Donald Trump, his expansive views on presidential power, his plans to restrict pornography and immigration, and his complaints that the GOP was too focused on “religious liberty”…

Donald Trump once again claimed this week that migrants coming to the U.S. are coming from “prisons” and “insane asylums,” but Seth Meyers thinks he’s figured out why Trump believes the latter. According to the NBC host, it comes down to homophones. During his conversation with Elon Musk live-streamed with many difficulties on X this week, Trump said that migrants are coming “from prisons, from mental institutions, or a bigger version of that is insane asylums.” And initially, Meyers had a different guess as to why Trump was saying that. “Oh, they’re coming from insane asylums?
