A Project 2025 author recently said its implementation is going “way beyond my wildest dreams.”
Their governing document is now a reality.
8 things Trump’s done 🧵🎥👇🏼
-Twitter
1. They hired the authors of Project 2025.
They’ve been placed in senior roles across the government – from the FCC to Office of Management and Budget.

2. Reproductive freedom.
Project 2025 included an executive order to ban any taxpayer funding for reproductive healthcare. Trump issued that exact order.
3. Dismantling the Department of Education.
Project 2025 called for it. Trump is doing it.
4. Head Start and child care.
Project 2025 calls for the elimination of Head Start which provides early childhood education for millions of children.
One of the first things Trump and Musk did after Inauguration Day was freeze billions of dollars — including funding for Head Start. Some programs still can’t access their money.
5. Social Security.
They want to raise the retirement age and start cutting it and privatizing it.
Congressional Republicans are working on a budget right now that would pursue those cuts – shutting down field offices and laying off thousands of staff.
6. Medicaid.
Project 2025 calls for them to strip away coverage from 90 million people – 38,000 in SW Ohio.
Their budget includes nearly $1 trillion in Medicaid cuts – impacting states, doctors, hospitals, and children.
People will lose coverage. People will die.
7. SNAP – a federal program that provides healthy food for tens of millions of Americans.
Project 2025 calls for cuts, so does the Republican budget. The latest budget calls for over $200 billion cuts in food assistance for tens of millions of Americans.
8. Prescription drug prices.
Project 2025 ends Medicare’s ability to negotiate lower prices. Trump’s executive order already started that. Drug prices are going to go up for millions of seniors.
