Fighting Project 2025:
The Associated Press House backs measure to overturn Biden auto emissions rule that Republicans say would force EV sales
Friday, September 20, 12:30 PM | By: MATTHEW DALY
The GOP action 'puts the profits of corporate polluters over the health and safety of the American people,'' Pallone said, adding that resolution is 'ripped right out of Trump's extreme Project 2025 playbook.''

NBC News Black pastors rebuke Mark Robinson's reported remarks about Martin Luther King Jr.
Friday, September 20, 4:57 PM | By: Curtis Bunn
'Among the numerous repulsive and erroneous assertions, to be a Black man in America and disrespect the sacrificial labor of Dr. King and the army of nonviolent, civil rights soldiers, is an affront to his ancestry and the freedoms he enjoys,' Vickers said. 'He will have reduced himself to a bigot in blackface and a mascot for Project 2025.
Threats to Rights and Freedoms:
The Washington Post Trump's second term agenda on LGBTQ issues alarms civil rights groups
Sunday, September 22, 5:00 AM | By: Hannah Knowles
More recently, Severino wrote a chapter on health policy for a book published by Project 2025, a conservative effort outside the Trump campaign to recommend personnel and policies for the next administration. (Trump criticized Project 2025 over the summer as Democrats increasingly attacked it.) Severino argues for reversing the Biden administration's assertion that the Affordable Care Act bans federally-supported health programs from discriminating based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
But other Trump supporters have resisted the growing acceptance of same-sex marriage. Severino's chapter in the Project 2025 policy book encourages the next Health and Human Services secretary to endorse the idea that 'married men and women are the ideal, natural family structure.' Asked about that idea, Moran echoed Trump and his advisers' distancing from Project 2025.
HuffPost Republican Policies Are Making It Harder For Trans People To Vote — And Do Everyday Life
Sunday, September 22, 8:00 AM | By: Lil Kalish
These attempts have largely failed, but experts warn that if former President Donald Trump were to be reelected this fall, legislative erasures of trans identity could become the law of the land. In Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation's playbook for a second Trump presidency, conservative officials want to legally redefine sex as 'biological binary sex' and erase any mention of 'gender identity' or 'sexual orientation' from all laws, federal agency rules and regulations.
Denial:
CBS News Florida's new COVID booster guidance is straight-up misinformation
Monday, September 23, 5:00 AM | By: Arthur Allen
Ladapo's vaccine statement "aligns with Project 2025," Offit said, referring to the conservative Heritage Foundation policy blueprint. While the plan's authors include officials from Trump's first term, he has said it doesn't reflect his views.
Threats to Democracy:
USA TODAY Donald Trump and Project 2025 would be the fire and fuel to burn down American democracy
Sunday, September 22, 4:36 AM | By: Robert Haslag
As a blueprint for a Donald Trump presidency, Project 2025 threatens principles and policies most Americans hold dear, writer Robert Haslag argues.
Trump’s Project 2025 Will Give Extreme MAGA Republicans Total Control
Donald Trump’s Project 2025 is a blatant power grab that aims to give extreme MAGA Republicans unchecked authority. They plan to use this power to criminalize abortion, undermine the middle class, and dismantle Social Security and Medicare.
Under Trump’s Project 2025, Republicans intend to impose a nationwide abortion ban and create a national registry to monitor women’s pregnancies and miscarriages. They even threaten to imprison doctors and nurses who provide essential care.
If enacted, Project 2025 would also gut the Affordable Care Act, leading to higher healthcare costs for everyone and a loss of protections for pre-existing conditions. Workers would lose their right to overtime pay, and middle-class families would face tax hikes—all while wealthy corporations receive new handouts.
Republicans' Project 2025 includes a detailed plan to dismantle Social Security and Medicare as we know them. This means slashing benefits for seniors and allowing Big Pharma to charge exorbitant prices for medication.
Everyone deserves to vote and thrive,
