Donald Trump:
"And I will direct a completely overhauled DOJ to investigate every radical out-of-control prosecutor in America for their illegal, racist and reverse enforcement of the law."
Overhauling the Department of Justice to give the president unfettered control, is one of the first actions described in Project 2025. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/a-look-at-the-project-2025-plan-to-reshape-government-and-trumps-links-to-its-authors
"If the next president is a Republican, it doesn’t matter whether that person is Donald Trump. Political infrastructure is being put in place, so any Republican administration will gut federal agencies from environmental protection to education to national security; obliterate the independence of the Justice Department and federal law enforcement agencies; and fire career civil servants and replace them with ideological apparatchiks hostile to the mission of the agencies that employ them." https://washingtonmonthly.com/2023/07/26/the-assault-on-democracy-wont-stop-with-trump/
1. Regarding DOJ: "Ensure the assignment of sufficient political appointees throughout the department". (P25 pg 569)
2. "Considering all of the many challenges facing the DOJ, the next conservative Administration should terminate and recall all details of DOJ personnel shortly after the President’s inauguration. After a thorough analysis of the department’s resources and priorities is completed, details to other portions of the executive branch and to Congress can resume." (P25 pg 569)
When my mom was going through a divorce my family relied on public assistance while Mom got back on her feet. Many of us need a hand up from time to time and Project 2025 doesn't speak favorably about social safety nets.
1. Restrict access to food assistance. 92% of all SNAP benefits go to household with income at or below the federal poverty line. (P25 pgs 299/300)
2. Eliminate Head Start Program. (P25 pg 482)
3. Make it harder to earn overtime pay. (P25 pg 592)
4. Weaken child labor protections amending hazard regulations to allow employers to put young people in unsafe working conditions. (P25 pg 595)
5. Limit which disabilities qualify veterans for benefits which will cut costs by having fewer health conditions qualify veterans for disability benefits. (P25 pgs 649/650)
6. Child Support Payments: "... the nonresident parents could track “informal” gifts from money, groceries, clothes, sports gear, and more through the app. This process would enable nonresident parents to track the amount of informal support they provide and the reason for it while ensuring that the resident parent acknowledges and accepts." (P25 pg 479)
It doesn't specifically say that the custodial parent will not receive their child support, but it reads like that's a possibility and this may really hurt single parents financially.
7. Reduce the number of H2-A visas which allows temporary farm workers to harvest during the summer.
If food isn't harvested, our food prices will increase. (P25 pg 611)
An authoritarian government steeped in theocracy will be intent on controlling women's bodies.
1. The goal is a national abortion ban & they'll have that if they have enough conservatives elected to Congress in November 2024. If not:
2. "...HHS will use every available tool to ensure that every state reports exactly how many abortions take place within its borders, at what gestational age of the child, for what reason, the mother’s state of residence, and by what method." (P25 pg 455)
3. FDA will reverse its approval of chemical abortion drugs. (P25 pg 458)
4. Cannot transfer a pregnant minor across state lines for an abortion. (P25 pg 478)
5. Eliminate the week-after-pill from the contraceptive mandate as a potential abortifacient. (P25 pg 485)
6. Eliminate men’s preventive services (condoms) from the women’s preventive services mandate in ACA. (P25 pg 485)
7. Monthly reporting: "...Metrics like marriage and fertility rates, the share of children living with both biological parents..." (P25 pg 588)
8. Restore Trump religious and moral exemptions to the contraceptive mandate, allowing companies like Hobby Lobby to be exempt from contraception coverage in the employee health policies. (P25 pg 483)
9. Birth control access may not be available by your employer's health insurance if they chose to take it out of their insurance plan. (P25 pg 483)
1. This new form of government favors the religious ideology of nuclear families. Single parent households may not do well in under the Project 2025 plan.
2. "Use tax code for penalties to RESTORE the AMERICAN FAMILY." (P25 pg 4)
3. "...policies should be repealed and replaced by policies that support the formation of stable, married, nuclear families." (P25 pg 451)
4. "In cases involving biological parents who are found by a court to be unfit because of abuse or neglect, the process of adoption should be speedy, certain, and supported generously by HHS." (P25 pg 451)
5. "...keep a consistent male figure in the minor’s life is crucial. At the same time, in cases where the father or mother does not make a sincere or serious effort to be involved in the child’s upbringing, termination of parental rights for children in foster care should be swift." (P25 pg 482)
6. End IVF. (P25 pg 461)
7. Adoption: Make it ok to discriminate on the basis of religion. (P25 pg 478)
8. Measure & report monthly: "Metrics like marriage and fertility rates, the share of children living with both biological parents..." (P25 pg 588)
1. Project 2025 MISSION: "...ultimately, the federal Department of Education should be eliminated." (P25 pg 319)
2. They prefer you use VOUCHER money for your student(s) education. Problem is that eventually public schools will go bankrupt & many parents won't be able to afford increased private school costs once public schools shut down. (P25 pg 319)
3. "The Department of Education (or whichever agency collects such data long term) should make student data available by family structure to the public, including as part of its Data Explorer tool." (P25 pg 338)
4. "No public institution may require an education employee or contractor to use a pronoun that does not match a person’s biological sex if contrary to the employee’s or contractor’s religious or moral convictions." (P25 pg 346)
5. Cut federal loans programs that help parents of college students, graduate students, and immigrants afford higher education. (P25 pgs 167 & 354)
6. "The next Administration should immediately commence rulemaking to rescind the Equity in IDEA regulation. No replacement regulation is required." (P25 pg 336)
7. Make public schools even more dangerous for LGBTQ+ students by having the Secretary of Education remove a host of protections for LGBTQ+ students in schools. (P25 pgs 333/4)
1. Reverse the DEI in Labor Policy
2. Eliminate Racial Classifications
3. Eliminate EEO-1 data collection
4. "With interracial marriages in America increasing, many Americans do not fit neatly into crude racial categories. Under disparate impact theory, moreover, discriminatory motive or intent is irrelevant; the outcome is what matters. But all workplaces have disparities." (P25 pg 583)
5. "Rescind regulations prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity, transgender status, and sex characteristics."
(P25 Pgs 582-585)
6. DELETE the terms sexual orientation & gender identity (SOGI), diversity, equity, & inclusion (DEI), gender, gender equality, gender equity, gender awareness, gender-sensitive, abortion, reproductive health, reproductive rights, and any other term used to deprive Americans of their First Amendment rights out of EVERY FEDERAL RULE, AGENCY REGULATION, CONTRACT, GRANT, REGULATION, AND PIECE OF LEGISLATION THAT EXISTS. (P25 pg 4)
7. COPIED FROM GLADD
"Project 2025 aims to gut protections for the LGBTQ community, which its organizers believe exists in opposition to the “traditional American family” and its Christian nationalist underpinnings. The Project would prioritize families “comprised of a married mother, father, and their children,” and would eliminate any federal policies that promote LGBTQ equality or that assist single mothers. The Global Project Against Hate and Extremism (GPAHE) reports that the project claims falsely that, “Only heterosexual, two-parent families are safe for children, and that, ‘All other family forms involve higher levels of instability (the average length of same-sex marriages is half that of heterosexual marriages); financial stress or poverty; and poor behavioral, psychological, or educational outcomes.’ (Their data on the length of marriages is false).” "

"But election officials now face a new set of threats from Project 2025, a conservative policy agenda that not only proposes to withhold critical federal support for their work but also threatens to weaponize the Justice Department and other federal agencies to further politicize election administration and revive unfounded attacks on election officials."
"Too often, state and local leaders have contributed to this hostile climate. Since 2020, a dozen states have enacted new criminal laws with harsh penalties targeting everything from minor mistakes to legitimate efforts to help voters exercise their constitutional rights. One of the most egregious examples is Texas’s Senate Bill 1, which makes it a crime for election officials to “solicit the submission” of mail-in ballots — even where the voter is entitled to vote by mail — and carries a punishment of at least six months’ imprisonment and fines of up to $10,000. Prosecutors and law enforcement officials also have piled on with threats of investigation and prosecution that often lack evidence but nonetheless upend election officials’ lives."
Project 2025 plans to be ready to start gutting the EPA on day one (January 20, 2025). Here's what they wrote on page 423:
"The majority of the political appointee team must be assembled, vetted, and ready to deploy before Day One. To the extent provided by the Federal Vacancies Reform Act, appointees in consideration for Senate-confirmed positions (excluding the Administrator) should be prepared to serve as a Deputy or Principal Deputy to get into the agency on Day One..."

One key tenet of Project 2025 is dismantling and disempowering federal agencies. Its goal is to shift agencies’ focus from protecting our health and environment to paving more pathways for unchecked corporate abuse."
Immigrants are the backbone of harvesting our food.
Project 2025 is already in action in many ways, in my states across the country:
