LZ Granderson: I felt déj vu when GOP called Kamala Harris a 'DEI hire'

Julian Zelizer : North Carolina governor withdraws from consideration to be Kamala Harris’s running mate.

He says he felt similar déjà vu when Republicans started calling Harris a “ DEI hire” The charge is as old as the civil rights movement itself, Zelizer says.

The old-time religion threads its way through the pages of Project 2025 .

To be a conservative in 2024 demands fluidity in an entire parallel reality, says Julian Zelizer .

Zelizer: Project 2025 ’s chapter on the Justice Department is chilling.

He says it inverts reality, or just makes up its own reality, in service of argument that it is the Biden Justice Department that is guilty of “unprecedented politicization and weaponization” Zelizer says.

John Avlon : Project 2025 is a blueprint for how the federal government can replace any city police force Trump decides is not enforcing the law in the way he prefers.

Avlon says there's nothing on the danger to law and order represented by Donald Trump firing FBI director for refusing to act as an instrument of his political will.

He says it's especially terrifying given evidence of how close Trump came to invoking the Insurrection Act in 2020 .
