Combined with the king-like immunity the Supreme Court’s conservative justices granted him in July, if elected in November, Trump would already have the power to directly enact huge swaths of Project 2025 in all 50 states.
inside the plan for
what is project 2025?
When Donald Trump was first elected in 2016, his team was shocked by the win and struggled to hire and appoint people to key roles.
Things will look vastly different if he is elected again due to dozens of his top advisors collaborating with wealthy billionaire donors.
The result is Project 2025, a far right agenda that Trump loyalist Steve Bannon, who is currently serving four months in a federal prison, has called a "blueprint" for a second term, if Trump is elected.
the detailed plans and tactics in it cover every area of american life. among the proposals:
EXPANDING tax cuts for corporations and the 1%
MASS DEPORTATIONS and incarcerations of immigrant families
ELIMINATING the Head Start program, ending pre-school education for children of low-income families
ENDING marriage equality for LGBTQ+ families
CUTTING free and reduced school lunch program for kids
ALLOWING employers to stop paying hourly workers overtime
BANNING ABORTION ACCESS even in cases of medical emergency and allowing the government to potentially prosecute pregnant people if they miscarry
DRASTICALLY CUTTING Social Security benfits by raising the retirement age

can the people behind project 2025 do everything in it?
Let's answer that question by looking at two big changes since 2020.
Republican-led state legislatures have already passed key proposals from project 2025:
EXAMPLE 1:
Total abortion bans in states like Alabama, Arkansas and Indiana, even in cases where someone needs abortion access as emergency care or due to a miscarriage. (source: The Guttmacher Institute)
EXAMPLE 2:
Laws interfering in patient/doctor decisions and removing the basic rights of LGBTQ+ communities. (source: Anti-Trans Legislative Risk Assessment Map)
maga justices on the supreme court also recently overturned a little known rule called the chevron doctrine.
For 40+ years the Chevron Doctrine has meant that public agencies like EPA, FTC, HHS measures what works and what doesn't, and provides oversight based on science.
By overturning the Chevron Doctrine, MAGA Justices have stripped away the ability for scientists, researchers, and technical experts to provide guidance and oversight on key topics like the economy, climate change, and healthcare.
Combined with the king-like immunity the Supreme Court’s conservative justices granted him in July, if elected in November, Trump would already have the power to directly enact huge swaths of Project 2025 in all 50 states.
We have the collective power to resist this regressive version of America. This November, our voices and votes must be heard, and we must stop Project 2025 from turning into a grim reality.
