PROJECT 2025: BLUEPRINT FOR A NEW REICH [View all]

Very scary: ex-Trump official lays out how Project 2025 will break the government - Raw Story

Developed by the far-right Heritage Foundation, Project 2025 proposes replacing the federal civil service with Republican partisans, ending the independence the FBI and DOJ to let the president oversee prosecutions, imposing Christian nationalism in law, and the defunding or abolition of a wide range of essential federal programs

there's some very controversial parts of it," said Griffin. "One is eradicating Social Security, which he knows is obviously a political loser. But listen, people deeply connected to Donald Trump were part of this. He obviously praised it. He's going to be the first to tell you that Agenda 47 is actually his plan and platform."

"But the key part of Project 2025 ... I think it's the most important part for Americans to understand, is this reshaping of the federal government," Griffin continued. "And I saw the actual executive order at the end of the last administration, ready to go, that would remake every civil servant into a political appointee and a loyalist to Trump. And it goes beyond Social Security and some of these technical things. It's the national security apparatus. It's our emergency management. It's FEMA, it's responding to natural disasters, pandemics, those would all be our subject matter experts, the Dr. Faucis of the world, would be replaced with whatever loyalist he puts into those positions."

"So it's a very, very scary thing that's actionable and ready to go by Donald Trump," she concluded.

Vice President Kamala Harris warned that the 900-page document of proposals includes cutting Social Security, repealing the Biden-Harris administration’s $35 cap on insulin, eliminating the Department of Education and ending federal programs like Head Start.

“Let us be clear: This represents an outright attack on our children, our families, and our future,” said Harris.

What Is Project 2025? Inside the Far-Right Plan for a Second Trump Term - People


The policy guidebook — compiled by the conservative think tank Heritage Foundation in partnership with more than 100 other conservative organizations — lays out a far-right, Christian nationalist vision for America that would corrode the separation of church and state, replace nonpartisan government employees with Trump loyalists and bolster the president's authority over independent agencies.


Project 2025 will radically revise taxes. You're not going to like it - Dailykos

During Trump’s time in the White House, his biggest priority was a huge tax cut for corporations and billionaires that Republicans raced to pass in 2017, mere months after Trump sat down in the Oval Office.

Republicans are now trying to extend that tax cut, at a cost of adding $4.6 trillion to the deficit over the next decade. But the Project 2025 plan goes much further than simply extending these cuts.

Trump's deceptive “no tax on tips” scheme isn't in there. Neither is replacing the income tax with an all-tariff system, as Trump has proposed.
