It would have seniors enroll by default in Medicare Advantage plans run by commercial insurers, in essence privatizing the health program for older Americans.

The administration hasn’t just scaled back USAID. Trump adviser Elon Musk bragged on his social media platform, X, that his “Department of Government Efficiency” fed the agency “\u003ca href=\"https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1886307316804263979?lang=en\">into the wood chipper\u003c/a>,” physically closing its offices and putting nearly all its staff on administrative leave while ending funding for its programs and disseminating misinformation about them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the administration risks waning public support if it adopts the project’s goals to upend U.S. health care and health policy.

It would have seniors enroll by default in Medicare Advantage plans run by commercial insurers, in essence privatizing the health program for older Americans. And it calls for eliminating coverage requirements for Affordable Care Act plans that people buy without federal subsidies, which, insurance experts say, risks leaving people underinsured.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s the agenda of the Trump administration,” said Robert Weissman, a co-president of Public Citizen, a progressive consumer rights advocacy group. “It’s to minimize access to care under the guise of strict work requirements in Medicaid, privatizing Medicare, and rolling back consumer protections and subsidies in the Affordable Care Act.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The White House didn’t respond to a message seeking comment. Conservatives have said implementation of the project’s proposals would curb waste and fraud in federal health programs and free health systems from the clutches of a radical “woke” agenda.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Americans are tired of their government being used against them,” Paul Dans, a lawyer and former director of Project 2025, \u003ca href=\"https://www.heritage.org/press/project-2025-reaches-100-coalition-partners-continues-grow-preparation-next-president\">said last year\u003c/a> in a statement. “The administrative state is, at best, completely out of touch with the American people and, at worst, is weaponized against them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dans did not return messages seeking comment for this article.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Heritage Foundation has sought to separate itself and Project 2025 from Trump’s executive orders and other initiatives on health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This isn’t about our recommendations in Project 2025 — something we’ve been doing for more than 40 years. This is about President Trump delivering on his promises to make America safer, stronger, and better than ever before, and he and his team deserve the credit,” Ellen Keenan, a spokesperson for Heritage, said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://kffhealthnews.org/news/article/health-brief-project-2025-department-of-life-hhs/\">Versions of the document\u003c/a> have been produced roughly every four years since the 1980s and have influenced other GOP presidents. Former President Ronald Reagan adopted about two-thirds of the recommendations from an earlier Heritage guide, the group said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In some instances, the Trump administration hasn’t just followed Project 2025’s proposals but has gone beyond them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The document called on the next president to scale back and “deradicalize” the U.S. Agency for International Development, an independent federal agency that provides foreign aid and assistance, including for many international health programs. The administration hasn’t just scaled back USAID. Trump adviser Elon Musk bragged on his social media platform, X, that his “Department of Government Efficiency” fed the agency “\u003ca href=\"https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1886307316804263979?lang=en\">into the wood chipper\u003c/a>,” physically closing its offices and putting nearly all its staff on administrative leave while ending funding for its programs and disseminating misinformation about them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the administration risks waning public support if it adopts the project’s goals to upend U.S. health care and health policy. Almost 60% of voters said they felt negatively about Project 2025 in a September \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/poll-project-2025-broadly-known-severely-unpopular-voters-rcna172660\">poll by NBC News\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Project 2025 was never a thought exercise; it was always a blueprint,” said Ally Boguhn, a spokesperson for Reproductive Freedom for All, an abortion rights group. “We’re only a few weeks into his presidency, and it’s setting the groundwork for even more.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The department controls oversight of Medicaid spending and plays a critical role in abortion reporting by setting federal guidelines and enforcing privacy protections under HIPAA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kennedy does not appear to have endorsed Project 2025. His stance on abortion has been notably inconsistent over time. In May, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovu7Hu1oEiQ&t=1s\">he expressed\u003c/a> support for unrestricted abortion access, stating he opposed any government restrictions, “even if it’s full term.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, he later revised his position, advocating for legal \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/tag/abortion/\">abortion\u003c/a> up to the point of \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/campaigns/presidential/3000858/rfk-jr-walks-back-stance-abortion/\">fetal viability\u003c/a>, the stage at which a fetus can potentially survive outside the womb.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roger Severino, who served as the Department of Health and Human Services director of the Office for Civil Rights under Trump, authored Project 2025’s abortion surveillance plan. He is now the vice president of domestic policy at the Heritage Foundation, the conservative think tank behind Project 2025. He declined an interview request.[aside label=\"Related Stories\" postID=\"news_12015752,news_12013882,forum_2010101906159\"]Severino’s vision for remaking the department is a cornerstone of Project 2025’s effort to impose stricter federal oversight on abortion practices, particularly targeting states like California, which offers greater access to abortion services than most other states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because liberal states have now become sanctuaries for abortion tourism, [the Department of Health and Human Services] should use every available tool, including the cutting of funds, to ensure that every state reports exactly how many abortions take place within its borders, at what gestational age of the child, for what reason, the mother’s state of residence, and by what method,” reads \u003ca href=\"https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-14.pdf\">the chapter (PDF)\u003c/a> on abortion reporting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The potential fallout isn’t limited to California. Experts \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2024/09/project2025-trump-california-abortion-surveillance/\">have warned\u003c/a> that other states with progressive abortion policies may face similar funding threats, amplifying the national debate over reproductive rights under Trump’s second term.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Election Day, Newsom traveled to Washington, D.C., for meetings with the Biden administration and congressional leaders to “discuss strategies for safeguarding health care access,” said Anthony Cava, a spokesperson for the California Department of Health Care Services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cava would not elaborate on those strategies. He said the department “cannot speculate on the future of these programs under a new federal administration, but the Newsom administration is working to protect the health and well-being of all Californians.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California has long positioned itself as a national leader in reproductive rights, actively opposing federal restrictions on abortion access. The state’s proactive policies, such as safeguarding providers who serve out-of-state patients, stand in stark contrast to the goals of Project 2025. As policymakers and advocates brace for how Trump plans to “\u003ca href=\"https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/113448443776000306\">Make California Great Again\u003c/a>,” they’re treating Project 2025 as a looming possibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Planned Parenthood, one of California’s leading providers of reproductive health care services for lower-income communities, said the organization is preparing for “a variety of scenarios.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shelby McMichael, a spokesperson for Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California, said “while specifics remain under wraps,” the group is prioritizing expanding California’s abortion provider workforce, increasing investments in abortion funds and infrastructure as well as analyzing data to “improve abortion care access and education.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

States that do collect abortion data typically use it for public health analyses, which can help identify gaps in care and improve access to services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom’s office did not provide details on the projected costs of lawyering up but said the governor plans for legislation to give additional resources to the California Department of Justice and other state agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These resources are intended “to pursue robust affirmative litigation against any unlawful actions by the incoming Trump administration, as well as defend against federal lawsuits aimed at undermining California’s laws and policies,” the governor’s office said. “The funding will support the ability to immediately file litigation and seek injunctive relief against unlawful federal actions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12015950\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 779px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12015950\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/081423-Project-2025-AP-CM-01-copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"779\" height=\"519\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/081423-Project-2025-AP-CM-01-copy.jpg 779w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/081423-Project-2025-AP-CM-01-copy-160x107.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 779px) 100vw, 779px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kristen Eichamer, center, talks to fairgoers at the Project 2025 tent at the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines, Iowa, on Aug. 14, 2023. \u003ccite>(Charlie Neibergall/AP Photo)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Trump tapped two individuals associated with Project 2025 for roles in his administration.

The state’s proactive policies, such as safeguarding providers who serve out-of-state patients, stand in stark contrast to the goals of Project 2025.

Ron DeSantis, Trump started to do these little videos articulating what they called Agenda 47: What he would do when he came back in office. And most of them were very responsive to whatever the hot issue on Fox News, and in the right, happened to be at the moment … all these really random things.\u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/06/18/trump-has-unveiled-an-agenda-his-own-he-just-doesnt-mention-it-much/\"> [See Bump’s searchable tool for Agenda 47 for \u003cem>The Washington Post\u003c/em>.] \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But fundamentally … he doesn’t want to offer a lot of specifics. This is a guy whose career prior to becoming a politician was a salesman — and not only was he a salesman, he was a guy selling real estate in New York. Which is, you know, like selling used cars in Topeka. This is not someone whose track record of salesmanship is rooted in the most robust ethics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so he doesn’t \u003cem>want \u003c/em>to commit. He wants to tell people what he wants to tell them in order to make the sale, and so that means being very vague. He frames this as being part of his art in negotiation. … But it’s really fundamentally about telling as few people as possible something they don’t want to hear so that he can maximize the number of people who might be receptive to his candidacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>It benefits Trump to deny any association with Project 2025\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>First of all, I think it’s fundamentally dishonest. You can’t both say, “I know nothing about Project 2025” and “I disagree with some of its elements.” Like that doesn’t make sense, right? But it is about recognizing that \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2024/07/11/nx-s1-5035272/project-2025-trump-biden-heritage-foundation-conservative\">Project 2025 establishes something for Democrats to point at\u003c/a> — it says, “Here are the things that Donald Trump would do.” And it does so very credibly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Heritage Foundation, which put together Project 2025, did tap a lot of people from Trump World, in part because that’s the locus of power within the political right at this point in time. It has people like John McEntee, who was basically in charge of staffing at the tail end of the Trump administration. It has Russ Vought, who used to run [the U.S. Office of Management and Budget] and has been talked about as being potentially Trump’s chief of staff. And a number of other individuals who participated in Donald Trump’s administration and who are now saying, “Here’s what we think the government should do, should a conservative return to power in the White House” — which, of course, means should Donald Trump be elected in 2024 and take office in 2025.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, for the Trump campaign, it is crucially urgent … to get people to think that Project 2025 is something else that isn’t theirs, isn’t what they want to do.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Trump’s campaign was not prepared for their 2016 win — but Project 2025 shows how they’d hit the ground running this time\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>I think that part of it is a response to the way in which Trump took power in 2017. It’s important to remember, of course, that no one expected Donald Trump to be taking the presidency. The polling up until the very end showed that he was likely to lose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then, of course, he took power, and he came into the White House with this amalgamation of both the establishment side of the GOP — Reince Priebus, who used to run the actual RNC, and then he had Steve Bannon, representing the fringe right on the other side. And he tried to mesh those things together, and he didn’t know what the balance of his power was, and he was concerned about reelection and all these aspects that were in place in 2017 that won’t be in 2025.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“We take a lot of exception with Joe Biden. But the one thing I do credit his team with was being prepared. So they were signing things all week long the first week, and we are going to be doing the same. We are now in the course of drafting these executive orders, and rethinking and identifying the stuff that needs to come down. We’re not going to wait and do this in the 90 days between the election. We’re going to be doing this as a team, as an entire movement years ahead.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>– Paul Gans, the now-departed director of the Heritage Foundation\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>So [Trump]’s returning to the White House, should he win the election this year, with a clearer sense of purpose — with a better understanding of where the boundaries are, with no concern about being reelected down the road. And with an entire movement already lined up behind him to affect the things that he wants to do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Which, of course, are really the things that \u003cem>they \u003c/em>want.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>A major focus of Project 2025 is reshaping the federal government — quickly\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Among [the 2025 plans] is this plan to very dramatically overhaul the federal government, to get rid of as many federal governments [sic] as they possibly can so that they can be replaced with Trump sympathizers.

And it was striking to me because he was basically saying that we’re in the process of a second American Revolution, but what he and Project 2025 are advocating for — if we extend that analogy — is not an increase in freedom and independence as the first revolution was fought, but a return to the monarchy and establishing a very powerful, unchecked political figure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So it’s sort of another revolution — in reverse.

The lengthy treatise puts forth concrete plans for the next Republican administration to consolidate presidential power, sideline critics and \u003ca href=\"https://www.vox.com/politics/360318/project-2025-trump-policies-abortion-divorce\">implement an extreme religious-right social agenda\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11993255/if-trump-wins-project-2025\">It’s not just a policy agenda, though\u003c/a>: The Heritage Foundation has also created a personnel database of pre-vetted conservatives who could serve in the next GOP administration; a training program to get potential personnel up to speed; and a secret plan for the first 180 days of a new Republican administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday, Heritage announced that its director, Paul Gans, was stepping down but that \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2024/07/30/g-s1-14455/project-2025-trump-heritage\">Project 2025’s work would now instead be led by its president, Kevin Roberts.\u003c/a> But what is in Project 2025, and how achievable are its aims?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED’s Political Breakdown podcast spoke to Philip Bump, national columnist for \u003cem>The\u003c/em> \u003cem>Washington Post\u003c/em>, to dig into Project 2025 as a right-wing “wish list,” why Trump keeps attempting to publicly disavow it, and how fast a second Trump administration could be able to enact such plans starting January 2025.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Keep reading for the takeaways from their conversation with Bump about Project 2025, or listen to the audio below (the Project 2025 conversation begins at 10:53.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"200\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https://playlist.megaphone.fm/?e=KQINC7758550327\" width=\"100%\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This interview has been edited for length and clarity.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>There’s a reason Trump hasn’t provided many concrete presidential policy plans himself\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Phillip Bump: \u003c/strong>Over the course of the Republican primary, especially before he really started to gain ground against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Trump started to do these little videos articulating what they called Agenda 47: What he would do when he came back in office. And most of them were very responsive to whatever the hot issue on Fox News, and in the right, happened to be at the moment … all these really random things.\u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/06/18/trump-has-unveiled-an-agenda-his-own-he-just-doesnt-mention-it-much/\"> [See Bump’s searchable tool for Agenda 47 for \u003cem>The Washington Post\u003c/em>.] \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But fundamentally … he doesn’t want to offer a lot of specifics. This is a guy whose career prior to becoming a politician was a salesman — and not only was he a salesman, he was a guy selling real estate in New York. Which is, you know, like selling used cars in Topeka. This is not someone whose track record of salesmanship is rooted in the most robust ethics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so he doesn’t \u003cem>want \u003c/em>to commit. He wants to tell people what he wants to tell them in order to make the sale, and so that means being very vague. He frames this as being part of his art in negotiation. … But it’s really fundamentally about telling as few people as possible something they don’t want to hear so that he can maximize the number of people who might be receptive to his candidacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>It benefits Trump to deny any association with Project 2025\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>First of all, I think it’s fundamentally dishonest. You can’t both say, “I know nothing about Project 2025” and “I disagree with some of its elements.” Like that doesn’t make sense, right? But it is about recognizing that \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2024/07/11/nx-s1-5035272/project-2025-trump-biden-heritage-foundation-conservative\">Project 2025 establishes something for Democrats to point at\u003c/a> — it says, “Here are the things that Donald Trump would do.” And it does so very credibly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Heritage Foundation, which put together Project 2025, did tap a lot of people from Trump World, in part because that’s the locus of power within the political right at this point in time. It has people like John McEntee, who was basically in charge of staffing at the tail end of the Trump administration. It has Russ Vought, who used to run [the U.S. Office of Management and Budget] and has been talked about as being potentially Trump’s chief of staff. And a number of other individuals who participated in Donald Trump’s administration and who are now saying, “Here’s what we think the government should do, should a conservative return to power in the White House” — which, of course, means should Donald Trump be elected in 2024 and take office in 2025.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, for the Trump campaign, it is crucially urgent … to get people to think that Project 2025 is something else that isn’t theirs, isn’t what they want to do.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Trump’s campaign was not prepared for their 2016 win — but Project 2025 shows how they’d hit the ground running this time\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>I think that part of it is a response to the way in which Trump took power in 2017. It’s important to remember, of course, that no one expected Donald Trump to be taking the presidency. The polling up until the very end showed that he was likely to lose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then, of course, he took power, and he came into the White House with this amalgamation of both the establishment side of the GOP — Reince Priebus, who used to run the actual RNC, and then he had Steve Bannon, representing the fringe right on the other side. And he tried to mesh those things together, and he didn’t know what the balance of his power was, and he was concerned about reelection and all these aspects that were in place in 2017 that won’t be in 2025.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“We take a lot of exception with Joe Biden. But the one thing I do credit his team with was being prepared. So they were signing things all week long the first week, and we are going to be doing the same. We are now in the course of drafting these executive orders, and rethinking and identifying the stuff that needs to come down. We’re not going to wait and do this in the 90 days between the election. We’re going to be doing this as a team, as an entire movement years ahead.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>– Paul Gans, the now-departed director of the Heritage Foundation\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>So [Trump]’s returning to the White House, should he win the election this year, with a clearer sense of purpose — with a better understanding of where the boundaries are, with no concern about being reelected down the road. And with an entire movement already lined up behind him to affect the things that he wants to do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Which, of course, are really the things that \u003cem>they \u003c/em>want.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>A major focus of Project 2025 is reshaping the federal government — quickly\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Among [the 2025 plans] is this plan to very dramatically overhaul the federal government, to get rid of as many federal governments [sic] as they possibly can so that they can be replaced with Trump sympathizers. And to do so in the context of having already tested the limits and seeing where the limits don’t really exist, and seeing limits removed by the Supreme Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a long time, the core focus of the political right was to unwind the power of government. And that has been reshaped in the Trump era to imbue a lot more power in the presidency for presidents who don’t carry a “D” on their ballot assignation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Everyone, I think, recognizes that Donald Trump himself doesn’t care a whole lot about what policies are implemented. And so what they’re trying to do is get a big cadre of people together who \u003cem>do \u003c/em>care about it, to give Donald Trump the mechanism to actually overhaul as much of the government as possible and then put these people in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Project 2025 is about things like identifying who can move into these positions, who should be hired, who can serve in cabinet positions, but who can also serve in government agencies. And there is a training program that is for people who are interested in coming and learning about the ideals that the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025 are trying to have government employees arrive in D.C. with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is this broad effort to overhaul the government — in a way that it is responsive to the will of the president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11998326\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1024px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11998326\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/GettyImages-2163946228.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/GettyImages-2163946228.jpg 1024w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/GettyImages-2163946228-800x534.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/GettyImages-2163946228-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/GettyImages-2163946228-160x107.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">An exterior view of The Heritage Foundation building on July 30, 2024, in Washington, D.C. \u003ccite>(Andrew Harnik/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>When it comes to removing government workers in 2025, there aren’t as many guardrails as you’d think\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Trump tried to do this at the tail end of his presidency and introduce a new category for federal officials called Schedule F, which would make it easier to fire a number of people.

And then he won because of the Electoral College.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Supreme Court that scaled back \u003ca href=\"https://www.nrdc.org/stories/what-happens-if-supreme-court-ends-chevron-deference\">Chevron deference\u003c/a> and that \u003ca href=\"https://www.reuters.com/legal/us-supreme-court-due-rule-trumps-immunity-bid-blockbuster-case-2024-07-01/\">gave Trump — or presidents — immunity\u003c/a> was one that was appointed. Three of the justices were appointed by Trump after he won only because he liked the Electoral College. Four of the six Republican-nominated justices got votes from senators who represent less than half of the country right there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unless he wins the popular vote in November, which is possible … the ways in which he wields power, or plans to wield power, are based on a minority of Americans getting their way.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>The Heritage Foundation behind Project 2025 has openly spoken of ‘revolution’\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>– Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The Heritage Foundation was, for a long time, one of the key think tanks on the right in Washington, D.C. And it did the work that right-wing think tanks usually do, which is put together policy proposals and advocate for a reduction in the size of government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But unlike some other think tanks, it really leaned into the power shift that accompanied Donald Trump. And part of it, I think, is the advent of Roberts, who has only been there for a couple of years — and the Heritage Foundation has really perceptively shifted in tone since Roberts has been in charge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think his “revolution” comments were obviously alarming and, frankly, from the context of the head of the Heritage Foundation, unprecedented. And it was striking to me because he was basically saying that we’re in the process of a second American Revolution, but what he and Project 2025 are advocating for — if we extend that analogy — is not an increase in freedom and independence as the first revolution was fought, but a return to the monarchy and establishing a very powerful, unchecked political figure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So it’s sort of another revolution — in reverse. And I think we’re all praying that it remains “bloodless.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
