As speakers at the Democratic National Convention call out Donald Trump for his dangerous Project 2025 agenda to let Trump rule as a dictator by allowing him to fire civil servants and replace them with an army of loyalists, here are the facts:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project 2025 is Donald Trump and JD Vance\u2019s 900+ page anti-freedom agenda crafted by the Heritage Foundation and Trump\u2019s far-right extremist allies \u2013 and it\u2019s \u201cundeniably a Trump-driven operation.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Axios<\/a>: \u201cThis is undeniably a Trump-driven operation.<\/strong> The biggest tell: Johnny McEntee \u2014 one of Trump’s closest White House aides, and his most fervent internal loyalty enforcer \u2014 is a senior adviser to Project 2025. One of the most powerful architects is Stephen Miller, a top West Wing adviser for the Trump administration.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CNN<\/a>: \u201cTrump claims not to know who is behind Project 2025. A CNN review found at least 140 people who worked for him are involved\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Politico<\/a>: \u201cMany of the authors of the blueprint are former Trump officials, and the Heritage Foundation has spent the past year-plus recruiting people to implement the plans within the administration<\/strong>, Scott said.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Week<\/a>: \u201cMany of Trump\u2019s indicated plans for a second term fall in line with the Project 2025 outline.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

New York Times<\/a>: \u201c[Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts] told me that he views Heritage\u2019s role today as \u2018institutionalizing Trumpism.\u2019 <\/strong>\u2026 The lesson of Trump\u2019s first year in office, Roberts told me, is that \u2018the Trump administration \u2026 simply got a slow start. And Heritage and our allies in Project 2025 believe that must never be repeated.\u2019\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Washington Post<\/a>: \u201cTrump took a private flight with Project 2025 leader in 2022\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018They\u2019re going to lay the groundwork and detail plans for exactly what our movement will do,\u2019 Trump said.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

JD Vance has deep ties to Project 2025 and has praised the extreme MAGA agenda as containing \u201cgood ideas.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vance<\/a>: \u201cI\u2019ve reviewed a lot of [Project 2025]. There are some good ideas in there.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Axios<\/a>: \u201cJ.D. Vance wrote foreword of upcoming book from Project 2025 architect\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The New Republic<\/a>: \u201cProject 2025 Leader Is Overjoyed by Trump\u2019s Vice Presidential Pick\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nick Corasaniti, New York Times<\/a>: \u201c[Roberts] reacted to the news [of Vance\u2019s VP selection] \u2018with a broad smile on my face\u2019 and said that \u2018privately, we were really rooting for him.\u2019\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vox<\/a>: \u201cKevin Roberts, the president of the right-wing Heritage Foundation and the driving force behind Project 2025, told Ward that \u2018[Vance] is absolutely going to be one of the leaders \u2014 if not the leader \u2014 of our movement.\u2019\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Politico<\/a>: \u201cVought told POLITICO Magazine that he is in \u2018regular contact\u2019 with Vance\u2019s Hill office and that \u2018we probably have one of the closest relationships with [Vance\u2019s] office that we do with any Hill office.\u2019\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project 2025 would let Trump replace civil servants with his MAGA loyalists.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Atlantic<\/a>: \u201cTrump Says He\u2019ll Be a Dictator on \u2018Day One\u2019\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Washington Post<\/a>: \u201cCivil service employees are generally hired rather than appointed or elected, and their tenure typically survives transitions of political leadership. Trump has attacked the civil service as the \u2018deep state\u2019 that stood in the way of him taking certain actions in his first term.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Atlantic<\/a>: \u201cAt the top of Vought and Dans\u2019s must-do list for the next president: reissuing an executive order that Trump signed during his final months in office\u2014and which President Joe Biden promptly reversed\u2014that would allow the government to remove civil-service protections <\/strong>from as many as 50,000 federal jobs. The move would create a new class of employees known as Schedule F whom the president could fire at will.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Associated Press<\/a>: \u201cTrump-era conservatives want to gut the \u2018administrative state\u2019 from within<\/strong>, by ousting federal employees they believe are standing in the way of the president\u2019s agenda and replacing them with like-minded officials more eager to fulfill a new executive\u2019s approach to governing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump Campaign<\/a>: \u201cPresident Trump has announced a ten-point plan to dismantle the deep state<\/strong> and reclaim our democracy from Washington corruption:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. On Day One, re-issue 2020 executive order restoring the president\u2019s authority to fire rogue bureaucrats<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vox<\/a>: \u201c\u2018If I was giving him one piece of advice\u2019 for a second term, Vance said on a 2021 podcast: \u2018Fire every single mid level bureaucrat, every civil servant in the administrative state, replace them with our people.\u2019\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump and Vance have repeatedly echoed extreme Project 2025 plans from banning abortion nationwide to cruel mass deportation schemes to tax giveaways for billionaires.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roll Call<\/a>: \u201c\u2018Dumping ground\u2019: Trump echoes conservative \u2018Project 2025\u2019\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vox<\/a>: \u201cVance is on record supporting these [Project 2025] ideas. Last year, he signed a letter demanding that the Justice Department prosecute physicians and pharmacists \u2018who break the Federal mail-order abortion laws.\u2019<\/strong> In 2022, he said he was \u2018sympathetic\u2019 to the idea that the federal government should stop efforts to help women traveling out of their states to get abortions. \u2026 The second controversial area where Vance is sympatico with Project 2025 is centralizing presidential power over the executive branch.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rolling Stone<\/a>: <\/strong>\u201cInside the MAGA Plan to Attack Birth Control, Surveil Women and Ban the Abortion Pill\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGOP operatives have already crafted an expansive blueprint, 887 pages long, laying out in painstaking detail how they intend to govern, including plans to leverage virtually every arm, tool and agency of the federal government to attack abortion access.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rolling Stone<\/a>: \u201cTrump Wants to Ban Abortion Nationwide: Report\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump<\/a>: \u201cThere of course remains a vital role for the federal government in protecting unborn life. And it\u2019s very important.\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Washington Post<\/a>: \u201cVance urged DOJ to enforce Comstock Act, crack down on abortion pills\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CNN<\/a>: \u201cJD Vance said in 2022 he \u2018would like abortion to be illegal nationally\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CNN<\/a>: \u201cProject 2025\u2019s proposals for reforming the country\u2019s immigration laws appear heavily influenced by those who helped execute Trump\u2019s early enforcement measures.<\/strong> Former acting US Customs and Border Protection chief Mark Morgan and former Immigration and Customs Enforcement chief Tom Homan \u2013 the faces of Trump\u2019s polarizing policies \u2013 contributed to the project, as did Kathy Nuebel Kovarik, one of the policy advisers pushing to end certain immigrant protections behind the scenes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Education Week<\/a>: \u201cProject 2025, a 900-page conservative policy agenda that proposes eliminating the U.S. Department of Education<\/strong>, has become a dominating force in the 2024 election campaign.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump Campaign<\/a>: \u201cPresident Trump pledges to close the Department of Education<\/strong> in Washington, D.C. and to send all education work and needs back to the States.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project 2025<\/a>: \u201cThe corporate income tax rate should be reduced<\/strong> to 18 percent. The corporate income tax is the most damaging tax in the U.S. tax system, and its primary economic burden falls on workers because capital is more mobile than labor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBS News<\/a>: \u201cMillions of low- and middle-class households would likely face significantly higher taxes under the Project 2025\u2019s proposals.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Washington Post<\/a>: \u201cTrump and his advisers have discussed deeper cuts to both individual and corporate tax rates that would build on his controversial 2017 tax law. <\/strong>\u2026 Trump\u2019s advisers, though, have discussed proposals to make deeper cuts to the overall corporate tax rate<\/strong>, potentially to as low as 15 percent, or to use the revenue from the proposed tariffs to pay a dividend to U.S. households. Further cutting corporate taxes \u2026 would primarily benefit large firms.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Americans are learning more and more about the Trump-Vance ticket\u2019s extreme and unpopular Project 2025 agenda \u2013 and rejecting this dangerous and out-of-touch MAGA blueprint.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Navigator Research<\/a>: \u201cProject 2025 Has Become Significantly More Unfavorable Since Trump Attempted to Distance Himself From the Plan\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProject 2025 has seen a significant increase in both awareness and unfavorability since our last survey in June. 54 percent of Americans report being familiar with Project 2025\u2026 Among those familiar with the Project 2025, just 11 percent view it favorably, while 43 percent view it unfavorably.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen people are asked what negative news they have heard recently concerning Donald Trump, mentions of Project 2025 have dramatically increased. \u2026 A plurality of Americans believe Project 2025 accurately represents what Trump stands for.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Navigator Research<\/a>: \u201cAmericans oppose all the key elements in Project 2025, with the greatest concerns around health care, worker\u2019s rights, and dismantling federal programs. <\/strong>Over four in five Americans oppose an array of policies proposed in Project 2025 such as \u2018allowing employers to stop paying hourly workers overtime\u2019 \u2026 Additionally, four in five oppose \u2018allowing the government to monitor people\u2019s pregnancies to potentially prosecute them if they miscarry.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAmericans\u2019 overall opposition to Project 2025 increases after reading about its specific policy goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThree in five Americans say Project 2025 would benefit the wealthiest Americans, CEOs, and corporations.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
