Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation, argues in his new book, *Dawn’s Early Light*, that a “controlled burn” is necessary to revitalize America. This “burn” would target institutions like the FBI, Ivy League colleges, and the Boy Scouts, which he sees as corrupted and hindering conservative aims. Roberts uses fire imagery throughout the book, comparing progressive policies to Dutch elm disease and advocating for “burning away the rot” of existing institutions. His rhetoric, reminiscent of Trump’s own fiery language, has already proven controversial, and with Trump’s victory, his call for a “controlled burn” is likely to alarm progressives.

Despite publicly disavowing it, President-elect Trump’s re-election has emboldened his allies to openly embrace the extreme policy blueprint known as Project 2025. This document, authored by former Trump administration officials and published by the Heritage Foundation, outlines an authoritarian agenda that seeks to dismantle the federal government, replace career civil servants with Trump loyalists, and implement extreme policies on immigration, abortion, energy, and education. While some dismiss this celebration as online trolling, many of these figures are likely to hold positions of influence in the Trump administration, making Project 2025 a real threat to democratic norms and institutions.

While Trump has distanced himself from Project 2025, a far-reaching plan for his second term, several prominent figures within his sphere, including Steve Bannon and Matt Walsh, have openly acknowledged its existence and their intention to implement it. This plan, created by the Heritage Foundation, outlines extreme policies like banning abortion pills, surveilling abortion access, and weakening environmental regulations, potentially alienating even some members of Trump’s base. These actions raise concerns about the true extent of Trump’s agenda and the potential consequences of its implementation, particularly given the negative public perception of Project 2025 among Republican voters.

Following Donald Trump’s election defeat, MAGA allies, including Steve Bannon and Matt Walsh, are openly boasting about “Project 2025,” a 900-page blueprint for a Trump second term. This plan, endorsed by the Heritage Foundation and former Trump administration officials, outlines a radical agenda including expanded executive authority, anti-abortion policies, and an anti-immigrant stance. Despite attempting to distance himself from the project during the campaign, Trump’s close ties to its authors and its alignment with his administration’s policies suggest its influence on his future actions.

Following Donald Trump’s election victory, Republican allies openly celebrated the implementation of “Project 2025,” a conservative policy package crafted by The Heritage Foundation. This plan, initially downplayed by Trump during his campaign, includes a broad expansion of executive powers, a de facto national abortion ban, and harsh measures against undocumented migrants. Despite Trump’s previous distancing from the project, his close ties to its architects and the alignment of its goals with his administration suggest a strong link between the two. With the election concluded, Republicans are now comfortable acknowledging Project 2025 as the blueprint for Trump’s second term.

It is truly mind-boggling to witness the audacity and shamelessness of Donald Trump as he flip-flops on his association with Project 2025. Just a month ago, he adamantly declared that he had no idea what Project 2025 even was, distancing himself from the controversial agenda with an 8% approval rating. And yet here we are, on the brink of the election, with Trump proudly announcing that the author of Project 2025 will be “coming on board” if he is re-elected. The blatant lies and deceit are staggering, but sadly not surprising coming from a man who has built his entire political career on falsehoods and manipulations.… Continue reading
As I delve into the cacophony of opinions and comments surrounding the call for Kamala Harris to drop the Project 2025 ads in order to supposedly protect Donald Trump’s safety, I am left astounded by the audacity and sheer hypocrisy of the Republican party. The suggestion that Harris should cease educating the public about the dangerous policies advocated by Project 2025, simply to shield Trump from potential threats, is not only ludicrous but also highlights the lengths to which some are willing to go to manipulate the narrative.
The fact that Project 2025 is a real and tangible plan, championed by none other than the disgraced former President himself, is undeniable.… Continue reading
As someone who has grown up in a household that leaned towards conservatism, it is both baffling and disheartening to see the depths to which some political figures will sink in pursuit of power. The revelation that Project 2025, a blueprint for dismantling American democracy and ushering in a fascist regime, has deep ties to Donald Trump is a chilling reminder of the dangers posed by unchecked greed and authoritarianism.
The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank at the forefront of crafting legislation for decades, is the driving force behind Project 2025. Their willingness to push forward an agenda that threatens the rights and liberties of marginalized communities is not only reprehensible but also a stark reminder of the dangers of unchecked power.… Continue reading
The recent reveal of hidden-camera footage showing Project 2025 co-author, Russell Vought, discussing his secret work preparing for a potential second term for Trump has sent shockwaves through the political landscape. Vought openly admitted that his group, the Center for Renewing America, had been drafting various executive orders, regulations, and memos to lay the groundwork for rapid action on Trump’s plans if he were to win re-election. The chilling revelation that Vought described his work as creating “shadow” agencies is deeply concerning, as it echoes the idea of a deep state within the government.
The fact that Vought and his cohorts are actively working to undermine and dismantle key government agencies in a bid to consolidate power is alarming.… Continue reading
Americans don’t like Project 2025. It isn’t difficult to see why when you take a closer look at the details. The project, also known as Agenda 47 in a rebranded attempt, has sparked widespread concern and disapproval among the American populace. The extreme measures outlined, such as a national abortion ban, surveillance of pregnant women, and the goal to morph the government into a fascist-like regime, are nothing short of terrifying.
To add to the unease, the architects and supporters of Project 2025 are individuals with extreme ideologies and a desire to dismantle long-standing norms and institutions. It is alarming to see someone like JD Vance, who openly endorses the project, being considered for high-ranking government positions.… Continue reading
