The Hill By Ian Swanson, Lauren Irwin
Democratic Sen. Ed Markey (Mass.) invoked Hurricane Milton to slam the conservative agenda Project 2025, which calls for the “break up” of the National Atmospheric and Oceanic Administration (NOAA).

The Hill By Dylan Gyauch-Lewis
One part of Project 2025 calls for the dismantling of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (which includes the National Weather Service and National Hurricane Center) and another calls for gutting FEMA’s resources. Now is the best time to champion a different vision.

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.
