President Biden is telling people to Google it (x.com/JoeBiden/status/1810713...) . Former president Donald J. Trump is distancing himself from it. Even the actress Taraji P. Henson talked about it onstage at the B.E.T. Awards.
Project 2025. It’s a blueprint for an incoming conservative president - presumably Donald Trump - spearheaded by the Heritage Foundation (www.heritage.org/conservatism...) , a conservative think tank.
And now it is everywhere in this tumultuous moment (www.nytimes.com/2024/06/27/us...) of the 2024 presidential race.
But what is it? Is it a guide to a possible second Trump administration? And why are Democrats seizing on it now, as Mr. Biden struggles to quiet doubts about his ability to defeat Mr. Trump? This week, we’re working through those questions.
On today’s episode
Jonathan Swan (www.nytimes.com/by/jonathan-swan) , who covers politics and Donald Trump’s presidential campaign for The New York Times.
Representative Ro Khanna, Democrat of California.

Focusing on "Project 2025" must be done to understand history. At the beginning of the Reagan Administration in 1981, a number of policy changes were initiated which seemed to come out of thin air. For example - "Trickle Down Economics" was used to change tax polities which resulted in the redistribution of wealth in this country from the middle class and the poor to the wealthy because it would supposedly drive economic growth. The result was the concentration of wealth into the top .1% of people in the US and the creation of the billionaire "Oligarchic Class". Where did "Trickle Down Economics" come from? The "Heritage Foundation" worked its magic in the dark 40 years ago and look at what happened. The Heritage Foundation's "Project 2025" represents what this organization did over 40 years ago and its impact. The Heritage Foundation is the "boogie man" and people here in the US should be aware of what is going on.

Watching from Canada, and can't help but notice that this is the first time in my 58 years that I've seen an example of why the 2nd amendment may have been written.

Trump: "I disagree with that thing that I know nothing about but I wish them luck."

There is a reason you don't write down your crimes.

There's no reason to think this man and those around wouldn't take full advantage of this document. Tom Cotton is my senator. I don't feel like finding out.

The Heritage Foundation has written one of these policy documents for every Republican President for decades. In the past, it was about small government and national defense.. During each administration these goals are implemented in part -- sometimes as much as 60%. The document for Project 2025 -- is another matter as it guts the rights and freedoms of all Americans except for the very rich and connected. All Americans must understand what is in it... These policies will hurt all Americans. Vote BLUE up and down the ballot to protect yourself and your families from this horror show. Trump does not care about policy... Parts of Project 2025 will be implemented around Trump. Look for JD Vance to take the lead in this effort.
