With the current administration’s effort to “flood the zone” and obfuscate their illegal and immoral shenanigans, one would be forgiven for forgetting the origins of what has become known as Project 2025.
Project 2025, technically called “The Mandate for Leadership,” was released in time for the 2024 election. It was a policy document created by the Heritage Foundation that offered the next Republican president a blueprint to enact from Day One.
The document was so deeply troubling that Donald Trump infamously distanced himself from it, saying he’d never read it and had no interest in it. Yet, within days of his reelection, he hired the key architects of the plan to hold positions of power within his administration — chief among them Russell Vought.
The plan was and remains so troubling for so many because it advocates not for smaller government but for a larger government used like a sledgehammer to bend the will of the people toward the autocratic vision of a few.
“It’s time to revisit Project 2025 and see what was (and wasn’t) on our Bingo cards.”
