With an assassination attempt on Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024, the U.S. experienced another violent episode in its increasingly polarized politics. Former President Trump, who’s about to formally become the GOP nominee for president in the 2024 election, survived the attempted assassination when, initial reports said, a bullet grazed his ear . But one rally attendee was killed , more spectators were injured and the suspected gunman is also dead. The Conversation’s politics editor, Naomi Schalit, spoke with University of Massachusetts, Lowell, scholar Arie Perliger after the event. Perliger offered insight from his study of political violence and assassinations. Given the stark political polarization in the U.S., Perliger said, “it’s not a surprise that eventually people engage in violence.”

Trump Isn’t Even Pretending Anymore

In recent days, Donald Trump has angrily claimed he knows nothing about Project 2025, the blueprint his allies are drawing up for an authoritarian second-term presidency. But CNN is now reporting that at least 140 people from the Trump administration have a hand in the Project 2025 plan. And NBC News has unearthed video showing that Trump expressly praised the plan’s creators for their work in 2022. We talked to Amanda Becker—a reporter for The 19th News and author of a forthcoming piece on Project 2025’s minutiae—who explains why Trump keeps running from Project 2025 and what its darker designs really have in store for us.

(The Center Square) – Former President Donald Trump continues to hold a lead in polling over President Joe Biden as Republicans gather Monday in Milwaukee for their convention, meaning Trump’s potential cabinet nominees could be running the government by January.
                That raises the question: who would those appointments be, exactly, if he does win in November?
                So far, Trump has remained largely mum on potential appointments, but there are some...

In recent days, Donald Trump’s spinners have worked hard to build up images of his supposed political invincibility. But what if it’s all smoke and mirrors? In an important new piece, Politico reports that behind the scenes, many Republicans are suddenly feeling quite uncertain about Trump’s chances. We talked to Never Trump conservative Mona Charen, an editor and columnist at The Bulwark who has written shrewdly about the GOP tendency to overestimate Biden’s weaknesses, about what’s really driving these sudden new doubts—and whether the race is really turning in Biden’s favor.

Donald Trump Jr., the eldest son of the former president, ripped into an MSNBC reporter on Monday at the Republican National Convention when asked about family celebrations on U.S.-Mexico border. “I covered the family separation crisis closely, will we continue to see policies like separating 5,000 children deliberately from their parents?” MSNBC reporter Jacob Soboroff […]

Trump Jr. tears into MSNBC: ‘Even 48 hours later, you couldn’t wait with your lies’

The Independent

On Tuesday, the second day of the Republican National Convention, a slew of Black Republicans convened at the Iron Horse for a gathering they called the “New Mavericks.” Black Republicans have always occupied a peculiar space in their party going back to when the GOP was founded as an anti-slavery party. Many Black Americans feel that Republicans’ “tough on crime” politics focus on unjustly profiling and prosecuting people of color. Similarly, few have forgotten Donald Trump saying, “When the looting starts, the shooting starts,” among other unsavory statements about Black protesters and majority-Black cities. But during the gathering at the...

The critical job of institutions such as Heridges to [sic] lay the groundwork,” Trump stumbled. “And Heridges does such an incredible job at that,” Trump added, stumbling again.“They’re going to lay the groundwork and detail plans for exactly what our movement will do and what your movement will do, when the American people give us a colossal mandate to save America, and...

Trump on message is bad news for Democrats

Conservatives have done the United States a huge favor by explaining in detail what they’ll try to do if Donald Trump is reelected. Project 2025 , a “presidential transition project” of the Heritage Foundation, helpfully lays out how a group of former Trump officials would like to transform the country into a right-wing dystopia where the rich thrive and the rest of us die aspiring to be rich.
