The Guardian: Project 2025 started a half-century ago. A Trump win could solidify it forever
This connection to the Heritage Foundation isn’t incidental. It tells us that conservatives see a Trump presidency as the final stage of their grand half-century scheme to destroy the legacy of the New Deal and the Great Society – a scheme first outlined a half-century ago.
Heritage was originally launched in the early 1970s with seed funding from the beer magnate Joseph Coors. He told a historian that his political activism at the time was specifically “stirred” by a 1971 memo authored by the soon-to-be supreme court justice Lewis Powell. That memo written for the US Chamber of Commerce implored corporations and oligarchs to be “far more aggressive” in influencing the political system, which he feared was becoming far too responsive to popular demands for the regulation of business.
ACLU: Project 2025 Promises to Harm Our Communities and Turn Presidents Into Kings. We Won’t Stand for It.
Under a second Trump administration, our federal government could be used to openly discriminate against marginalized communities, to spy on private citizens, and be given authority over what we can and can’t do with our bodies.

Newsweek: Fact Check: Has Donald Trump 'Blessed' Project 2025?
The claim that he has "blessed" it is based on a hidden camera interview with Russell Vought, Trump's director of the Office of Management and Budget from July 2020 to January 2021. Vought is also one of the authors of Project 2025 and the founder of the conservative group the Center for Renewing America (CRA), one of the many organizations that partnered on the project.
Everyone deserves to vote and thrive,
