The Lincoln Project

Prince Andrew’s reported arrest in the widening Epstein scandal has reignited explosive questions about the Epstein files, elite corruption, and whether the United States operates under a two-tier justice system. While global headlines focus on the Prince Andrew arrest, a deeper issue is surfacing: why did Pam Bondi’s DOJ never investigate core co-conspirator Les Wexner, tied to the Epstein network? In this episode, we break down the latest Prince Andrew news, the unresolved controversies surrounding the Epstein files, mounting DOJ corruption allegations, and growing scrutiny over selective prosecution and elite immunity. If powerful figures can face consequences abroad, why were key players in the Epstein case never fully investigated by the Department of Justice? This is a deep dive into political corruption, accountability, the integrity of the justice system, and the uncomfortable question at the heart of the Epstein scandal — does justice truly apply equally under the law in America?

For the first time ever, alumni of The Lincoln Project are running for Congress — and the 2026 midterms just shifted. In this special double-header, Rick sits down with Fred Wellman, running in St. Louis, Missouri (MO-02), and George Conway, running in New York, New York (NY-12), to break down what it means for the Lincoln Project to move from ads and strategy to actual ballots and House races. They dive into the stakes of the 2026 election, the fight to flip Congress, the threat of MAGA extremism, and why veterans, constitutional conservatives, and rule-of-law Republicans are stepping up in key swing districts. From the battle for the House majority to the broader fight to protect democracy, this episode unpacks the strategy, the map, and the momentum behind a political movement turning into candidates — and why this moment could redefine the future of Congress. #LincolnProject #2026Midterms #Congress #MAGA #Election2026

Rick's Elephant in the Room this week is simple: Pam Bondi and the Epstein files. Under oath, in open court, Bondi melted down while dodging direct questions about Jeffrey Epstein, the sealed records, and what the Department of Justice knew — and when. The exchange has ignited new outrage over the Epstein case, the handling of court testimony, and whether political protection is shielding powerful figures from accountability. Rick breaks down Bondi’s courtroom performance, the legal gymnastics around the Epstein documents, and why this moment matters in the larger fight over DOJ integrity, transparency, and corruption at the highest levels. If you care about the Epstein files, justice for the survivors, sworn testimony, government accountability, and the credibility crisis inside America’s justice system — this is the episode you can’t miss.

This week, Rick Wilson is joined by Taylor Rehmet to break down one of the most important political upsets in Texas in years: a historic Texas State Senate special election win that flipped a deep-red seat by doing something radical in modern politics—talking to people like human beings. Rehmet walks through a community-first, common-sense campaign built on knocking doors, rejecting corporate cash, focusing on affordability, public education, property taxes, and showing up in real life instead of chasing culture-war nonsense online. Rick dissects why this ground-game-driven Democratic victory in Texas matters far beyond one district, how it exposes the weakness of MAGA politics when voters are treated with respect, and why this race is a blueprint for winning swing and red districts heading into the 2026 midterms. If you want to know how Democrats flip seats, rebuild trust, and start winning again—this is the playbook.

The Elephant in the Room this week is power—how it protects itself, who it destroys, and why accountability never seems to reach the top. With the release of the Epstein files, what’s exposed isn’t just one predator but a global system where wealth, status, and proximity to power shielded abuse of women and children for years. The documents pull back the curtain on how elites across politics, finance, and international circles used silence, intimidation, and institutional protection to evade consequences—while victims were ignored, discredited, or erased. This episode isn’t about gossip or scandal; it’s about how power operates when no one is watching, why so many powerful men connected to Jeffrey Epstein are still untouched, and what it says about a world where justice has a price tag and impunity is the real currency.
