    TRUMP IS BURNING $300 MILLION ON HIMSELF WHILE HIS OWN PARTY DROWNS — AND THE GOP IS TERRIFIED💸🔥🚨

    This week's EITR is not surprising. It’s that Trump is going to make the 2026 elections all about him, and it’s not going to work. Rick breaks down Trump's plan to spend MAGA Inc.'s war chest on a national ad campaign centered on himself rather than the vulnerable Republicans who need the help most. Rick talks about how this strategy only worked when Trump's numbers were sky-high — now that strong support has collapsed, claims of a booming economy land flat against real pain at the pump and in farm country. He also tells the story of MAGA Inc. as less a normal PAC than a Trump family fund that's helped cover his own legal bills, leaving candidates like Ken Paxton and Jon Husted to fend for themselves. Rick calls for voters to see through what's coming next: a grievance narrative building toward a "stolen election" excuse, set against a backdrop of real failures in Iran, a drained strategic oil reserve, and instability abroad, in 2026 and beyond.•••••Rick Wilson is on X @TheRickWilson, Bluesky @TheRickWilson.bsky.social, and Substack at therickwilson.substack.com. More from LP at www.lincolnproject.us and on X @ProjectLincoln.#EITR #ETTD #RickWilson #LincolnProject #MAGAInc #TrumpApproval #Midterms2026 #SusanCollins #JonHusted #KenPaxton #StrategicPetroleumReserve #GOP #OperationEpicFailure Head to Superpower.com and use code LINCOLN at checkout for $20 off your membership.

    Introducing: The School of Greatness

    Introducing Your Body Language Is Telling You You're Not Safe | Amy Cuddy from The School of Greatness. Follow the show: The School of Greatness Your body is talking to your brain constantly, telling it either 'I'm safe' or 'I'm not safe.' The posture you default to when no one's watching might be the thing keeping you stuck. Amy Cuddy, the social psychologist behind one of the most-watched TED Talks ever, sat down to unpack what actually builds confidence when the world feels unstable. She talks about the difference between faking it and becoming it, why imposter syndrome hits 75-85% of people, and why the bullies who came after her post-TED fame taught her more about personal power than the research ever did. You'll hear about the exact breathing pattern she uses before high-stakes moments, the simple writing exercise that beats any pep talk, and why she thinks reframing anxiety as excitement changes everything. There's also a story about a nurse named Alex Wubbels who got thrown against a wall for doing the right thing, and what that taught Amy about the kind of bravery that has no glory attached to it. This conversation will make you rethink every time you've shrunk yourself to avoid being noticed. Sit up straight, not for anyone else, but because you deserve the respect you keep giving away. Bullied: The Culture of Cruelty and the Surprising Power of Social Bravery Presence: Bringing Your Boldest Self to Your Biggest Challenges Amy’s website Amy on Instagram Amy on LinkedIn Amy’s TED Talk In this episode you will: Reclaim your sense of personal power using postural feedback and 4-7-8 breathing before high-stakes moments Rewrite the self-doubt that keeps you silent by practicing self-affirmation theory rooted in your core values Transform pre-performance anxiety into excitement using Alison Wood Brooks's reframing research Discover why bumblers earn more trust than pointers when things go wrong in public Overcome imposter syndrome by shifting focus from how you're judged to how you can serve others Draw the line between confidence and arrogance so self-belief fuels you instead of blinding you For more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1973 More SOG episodes we think you’ll love!

    HUNTER BIDEN BRINGS THE RECEIPTS: THE CORRUPTION, THE RUMORS, AND THE WEAPON NOBODY'S USING

    In this very special episode of the Lincoln Project Podcast, Rick sits down with HUNTER BIDEN for a conversation that pulls NO punches. Hunter makes the case that Americans are far less divided than the media wants you to believe, that AUTHENTICITY beats Trump's audacity every time, and that Democrats need to stop torching their own — from Abdul El-Sayed to Zohran Mamdani's early wins in New York. Then it gets HEAVY: Hunter lays out corruption as the sharpest weapon Democrats have, from Jared Kushner's Gulf-funded fortune, to alleged insider trading timed to Trump's Iran announcements, to crypto schemes hammering retail investors. He even wades into the RUMORS swirling around Trump's health. Hunter also opens up about his father's cancer — and what it means to extend grace to people who've finally seen the light.•••••Hunter Biden: @HunterBiden on X, Instagram, Threads and YouTube @hunterbiden on Substack and TikTok. hunterbiden.com | hunterbiden.substack.com |hunterbiden.com/pressRick Wilson is on X @TheRickWilson, Bluesky @TheRickWilson.bsky.social, and Substack at therickwilson.substack.com. More from LP at www.lincolnproject.us and on X @ProjectLincoln.#HunterBiden #RickWilson #LincolnProject #ZohranMamdani #AbdulElSayed #JaredKushner #Democrats2026 #Corruption #Politics2026 #JoeBiden

    NATALIE HARP, TRUMP'S "HUMAN PRINTER," HAS BECOME TRUMP'S EMOTIONAL CRUTCH AS HIS NUMBERS COLLAPSE 🖨️😳🔥

    Rick Wilson is breaking down the strangest power dynamic in Washington: NATALIE HARP, the 35-year-old former OAN host turned Trump aide who prints him flattering headlines and reportedly rode in an SUV TRUNK just to stay near him. Rick digs into the reporting — she was one of a handful of aides on the Turkey trip, she's operated for over a year WITHOUT a normal security clearance, and insiders are reportedly maneuvering behind the scenes to curb her influence. Rick lays out why this isn't about romance, it's about DEPENDENCY — and why MAGA's outrage over Jon Ossoff's comments reeks of hypocrisy given the GOP's own history. Then Rick pivots to the numbers that matter: a nail-biter in Florida, a surging Mary Peltola in Alaska, and a Texas Senate race where the money is NOT on Paxton's side. Check your registration.

    Two Americans, Two Brits, One (Count) Binface, Zero Filter 🗑️😂

    This week is special: recorded live in front of our audience at the Leicester Square Theatre in London and hosted by Byline Times @BylineTimes -- we're delivering part II of Rick's UK adventures across the pond. The Lincoln Project's Rick Wilson and Maya May sit down with The Bunker's Alex Andreou and Naomi Smith @bunkerpod.bsky.social — with a surprise appearance from Count Binface @CountBinface — for a transatlantic reckoning on US and UK politics. Together they compare what each democracy is getting right and wrong, make the case that the UK has to correct course before it's too late, and dig into what America can still learn from Britain. It's sharp, funny, and a little bit ominous — exactly the conversation both countries need right now.

    LIVE FROM LONDON: RICK WILSON TELLS BRITAIN THE UGLY TRUTH ABOUT AMERICA'S COLLAPSE 🇬🇧🇺🇸💣

    Rick Wilson and Maya May took The Lincoln Project LIVE to the Leicester Square Theatre in London, joining forces with the UK's Quiet Riot podcast (Naomi Smith and Alex Andreou @quietriotpod.bsky.social) for a no-holds-barred night hosted by Byline Times @bylinesnetwork. The question on the table: WHAT CAN BRITAIN LEARN FROM AMERICA'S AUTHORITARIAN SLIDE — before it's too late? Rick and Maya push back HARD on American exceptionalism, tracing the GOP's radicalization from the Tea Party to today, while the panel goes deep on Trump's visible decline, Elon Musk's outsized grip on the online world, and how algorithms are radicalizing everyone from your uncle on Facebook to teenage boys chasing the next Andrew Tate. This is the special relationship getting a reality check, live and unfiltered. PRESS PLAY — Part 2 is coming on Tuesday. Follow Rick at @TheRickWilson and on Substack at therickwilson.substack.com, and Maya May at @mayaonstage. More from LP at www.lincolnproject.us and on X @ProjectLincoln.

    RICK TAKES THE STAGE TO WARN THE WORLD: AUTHORITARIANISM IS COMING FOR EVERYONE 🚨🌍🔥

    Rick Wilson just took America's authoritarian meltdown on the road, and this time the stage isn't a cable news set, it's PETER GABRIEL'S WOMAD FESTIVAL in the UK. This week Rick tells the story of his OWN journey through GOP politics — from party operative to outspoken critic — as a CAUTIONARY TALE for a world watching democracy erode in real time. He's not just talking about America anymore. He's connecting the dots on how authoritarianism creeps in EVERYWHERE, from Washington to Westminster and beyond, and why the warning signs look the same no matter what flag is flying. Expect the same no-BS Rick Wilson energy, now aimed at a global audience that needs to hear it. This is history, strategy, and a warning label all rolled into one.•••••Rick Wilson is on X @TheRickWilson, Bluesky @TheRickWilson.bsky.social, and Substack at therickwilson.substack.com. More from LP at www.lincolnproject.us and on X @ProjectLincoln. #RickWilson #LincolnProject #WOMAD #WOMADFestival #PeterGabriel #Authoritarianism #Democracy #EITR #SaveDemocracy #GOP #Politics2026 #UKpolitics #PoliticalPodcast #WakeUpAmerica 👉 Grab your free seat to the 2-Day AI Claude-athon: https://links.outskill.com/THLIAUG3🔐 100% Discount for the first 1000 people💥 Dive deep into claude, its models and Learn Automations, Build AI Agents, Make videos & images – all for free! #ad Visit https://bollandbranch.com/lincoln and use code 'LINCOLN' to unlock 15% off. #ad

    NO SPINE, NO SHAME: THE GOP'S MEN OF (DIS)HONOR HIT A NEW LOW 🔥

    This week's EITR is "Men of (Dis)honor." Republicans would rather keep an alleged domestic abuser in Congress than lose a seat — no shock when the man leading the party is a convicted felon found liable for sexual abuse. Then there's Thom Tillis and John Cornyn: on their way out the door, already torched by Trump, handed the easiest chance at honor of their careers — and they folded, voting to confirm Todd Blanche as Attorney General and handing the DOJ to the man at the center of the Epstein cover-up. Rick names the cowards and asks what honor even means in today's GOP.•••••Rick Wilson is on X @TheRickWilson, Bluesky @TheRickWilson.bsky.social, and Substack at therickwilson.substack.com. More from LP at www.lincolnproject.us and on X @ProjectLincoln.Visit https://babbel.com/lincolnproject for up to 60% off. #ad
