Summary

Following Donald Trump’s election victory, Republicans are now openly embracing Project 2025, a policy agenda from The Heritage Foundation that outlines sweeping conservative reforms.

Despite Trump’s attempts to distance himself from the project during his campaign due to its extreme proposals—including expanded executive powers, a national abortion ban, stricter contraception limits, harsh immigration policies, and the elimination of agencies like the Department of Education—his allies quickly began celebrating its implementation.

Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon and commentator Matt Walsh publicly affirmed the agenda, signaling the GOP’s commitment to enacting these controversial policies in Trump’s second term.

      Right. So it’s about breaking the public school system and ultimately replacing them with private institutions?

      Okay. Yeesh.

        Read Project 2025. They are doing this with every regulatory agency. And the ones that they actually do replace, will be filled with Trump sycophants instead of career experts in their respective fields.

        Say goodbye to the EPA and the FDA.
