Until this is verified somewhere else, I consider it propaganda.

2024 campaign spending less than 4% of what they took in or put another way, overhead and other administrative costs are more than 25 times what they spent on the campaign.

If this was a charity it would be rated F on Charity Navigator.

Disappointed, but I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.

After MAGAism is ushered into history’s dustbin, I can’t see any further use for Lincoln Project activities.
So let them gather rosebuds while they may.

After they lost their influence in the Republican party, they set up a system to enrich themselves, their friends, and their family.

And it's worked famously.

"What if we just told people what they really want to hear, and then ask them for a bunch of money?"
"Oh my god, this is genius!"
"Right?!"

Like, it should not have been that easy, but it apparently was.

There are a few others out there who get posted here quite often who do the exact same. Make AMG Hot Take! tweets, rake in cash.

I cannot believe I am going into healthcare. I just need to be on social media stroking people. Way easier.
