Heritage Foundation Gives $100K Grant to Ben Franklin Fellowship

A month or so ago, a number of bloggers and political journalists exposed the Ben Franklin Fellowship, which seems to be a semi-secret, invite-only club of far-right State Department officials.

Well, in case you had any doubts about their MAGA sympathies, I just saw that the Heritage Foundation awarded them a $100K grant last week for something called "the JUNTO Outreach Project." (No clue what that is, but it sounds ominous.)

Brief blurbs about this are on the BFF and Heritage websites - though details are lacking.

Also linking below our own run-in with the BFF, when we named and shamed a fellow who was also an uncredited contributor to Project 2025.
