A pack of former Breitbart staffers are publicizing their plans to create a political action committee that would pressure lawmakers into falling in line with Donald Trumps political agenda.
The Atlantic reported Friday that the America First Project didnt yet have much to its name aside from the participation of a handful of former Breitbart staffers and an activist who previously ran the Black Men for Bernie group.
Dustin Stockton, a former Breitbart reporter who will serve as the PAC's chief strategist, told The Atlantic that the group would run for the time being out of an existing organization called Western Representation PAC, with a media arm called "Big League Politics" to come in the distant future.

Trump's agenda is Trump.
He just has a difficult expressing truthiness.

and spending were way down in 2016, ending the year with ~$4,100 in the bank.
They took in nearly $1 million in 2012.
