• Over the last few months, as part of an ongoing series on 'Velshi,' we've taken viewers 'Inside Project 2025,' the 922-page right-wing playbook for a second Trump presidency. However, now that we know what's potentially in store, it's important to look back at the previous Trump administration and remind ourselves what he has already done, how he governed, and how he'd likely do it all again.

• The other side: "Every time he opens his mouth, Donald Trump reminds us that he is a racist, misogynist 34-time convicted felon who doesn't care about anyone but himself … a majority of Americans reject … dangerous Project 2025 proposals a second Trump administration would plague this country with," Gov. JB Pritzker said in a statement.

• A coalition of left-leaning climate and Latino groups, including Climate Power, America's Voice, People's Action, the Latino Victory Project and Poder Latinx, last week announced a six-figure ad campaign across Nevada, Arizona, Pennsylvania and North Carolina targeting Latino voters with a focus on Project 2025, a series of proposals from the conservative Heritage Foundation from which Trump has tried to distance himself. Still, Democrats have sought to tie Republican candidates to the plan.

• 'It's clear to us that Donald Trump intends to try to jam extreme policies, which are spelled out unequivocally in Project 2025, down the throats of the American people. Which is why this election is so incredibly important," he said.

Statement on Project 2025

People Power United declares Project 2025 is a clear and present danger to our rights, freedoms, democracy, and the rule of law.

In response to recent MAGA shenanigans to enact Project 2025, People Power United - a progressive grassroots group - issued the following statement:

“Project 2025 is a dangerous plan to move America from a democracy to a theocratic autocracy. There is no power like that of the people, and People Power United stands ready to protect our communities against any and all injustices,” said Laurie Woodward García of People Power United.

People Power United will continue to oppose such harm to our community and champion civil rights for all.

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.
