Trump Again Denies Knowing About Project 2025. We Have Receipts!

J. D. Vance spoke in Nevada Tuesday at a rally, and as usual, it was a low-energy, awkward, completely unaware speech. For some reason, he mentioned his wife, Usha, and said that if he calls her up to the stage, she'll probably make him sleep on the couch. Typically, for a normal person, that remark wouldn't be relevant, but he's amid couch-gate after being accused of having intimate relations with living room furniture. The claims are unfounded (wink wink), but as John Oliver said, Vance gives off major couch-fucker vibes. "Now, I would call her up here to come and speak, but then I think I'd have to sleep on the couch tonight, so I'll leave her alone," he told the crowd.

Finally, hope of progress. Wall St. Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich is included in a pending swap of prisoners who were held in Russia. Via The Daily Beast: Rumors flew Wednesday that such a deal between Russia and the U. S. and their respective allies could include Evan Gershkovich, a Wall Street Journal reporter who was detained by Russian authorities in March 2023. Earlier this month, Gershkovich was sentenced to 16 years in a high-security penal colony under espionage charges internationally condemned as fabricated. Moscow previously said that there was no chance of Gershkovich being exchanged until after his sentencing.

Playbook: “There are signs that GOP confidence in Trump is now slipping. The Trump campaign is launching new ads today in North Carolina, a state that has only once voted for a Democratic presidential candidate once in the past 40 years.”
