Project 2025, a proposed governing agenda from the right-wing Heritage Foundation, calls for reversing Biden-era policies 'focusing on 'LGBTQ+ equity,' subsidizing single-motherhood, disincentivizing work, and penalizing marriage' — because, the document explains, families 'comprised of a married mother, father, and their children are the foundation of a well-ordered nation and healthy society.'

Donald Trump and Project 2025, favored by those who support the former president, represent such a move away from democracy.
The kind of America that is being proposed by supporters of Donald Trump and Project 2025 puts the Republican Party on a slide toward being on the wrong side of history. This will weaken American democracy, which needs two strong parties.

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.
