WTF is Project 2025?!

This plan calls for making all pornography illegal. This would mean the government would decide what you can and cannot watch on the internet, even in your own home. Not only is this a blatant violation of the First Amendment right to free speech, but it would also be impossible to enforce. Who would decide what is and isn't pornography? How could the government monitor the internet usage of every American?

This plan promotes numerous restrictions on abortion, including making it harder to access abortion pills and potentially defunding healthcare providers that offer abortion services. This would take away women's right to make their own decisions about their bodies and their healthcare.

This plan seeks to ban gender-affirming care, including medical treatments for transgender youth. This means that transgender individuals would be denied access to essential medical care simply because of who they are. It's discriminatory, cruel, and could have devastating consequences for the health and well-being of transgender Americans.

This plan expands religious exemptions in social programs, allowing faith-based organizations to deny services to people based on their sexual orientation, gender identity, or religious beliefs. This would create a two-tiered system in which some Americans are denied services simply because of who they are.

Planned Parenthood provides essential healthcare services for millions of women, including cancer screenings, contraception, and STI testing. This plan aims to eliminate all federal funding for Planned Parenthood, which would force many clinics to close and put millions of women at risk.

This plan proposes excluding immigrants from accessing public benefits, including housing assistance. It would create hardship for many immigrant families and could separate mixed-status families, in which some members are U.S. citizens and others are not.

This plan allows the government to disregard court decisions it doesn't like. It weakens the rule of law and undermines the system of checks and balances that is essential to a functioning democracy.

This plan weakens the checks and balances that limit presidential power during national emergencies. It would allow presidents to declare indefinite states of emergency, potentially suspending civil liberties and expanding executive power for extended periods.

This plan allows the President, without any approval from Congress, to implement drastic immigration restrictions and quickly deport immigrants, including asylum seekers. This would concentrate enormous power in the executive branch and create a system ripe for abuse.

This plan eliminates the 10-year term limit for the Director of the FBI, giving presidents the power to appoint and maintain loyalists in charge of a powerful and potentially unaccountable law enforcement agency.

This plan calls for expanding and streamlining the government's ability to engage in covert actions around the world. This would reduce transparency and congressional oversight, increasing the risk of government overreach and potentially illegal activities.

This plan restricts the ability of Congress to oversee the Department of Homeland Security. It concentrates power in the executive branch, reducing transparency and accountability to elected lawmakers.

This plan advocates for dismantling the Department of Homeland Security, which was created after the 9/11 attacks to protect America from terrorism. This could create chaos and confusion, weakening America's security and leaving us vulnerable.

This plan abolishes the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, a federal agency that was created after the 2008 financial crisis to protect Americans from predatory lenders. This could lead to a return to the kind of financial abuses that devastated millions of families just over a decade ago.

The plan expands presidential power in numerous ways, including through the appointment of loyalists, the use of executive orders, and the weakening of oversight mechanisms.

This plan proposes a trade war with China, imposing extensive tariffs and restrictions on imports and investment. Not only would this raise prices for everything from clothes to electronics for ordinary Americans, but it could also lead to a wider conflict with a major nuclear power.

This plan proposes withdrawing the U.S. from numerous international organizations, including the World Trade Organization, the OECD, the World Bank, and the IMF. This "America First" approach to foreign policy weakens alliances, reduces American influence in the world, and risks instability and conflict.

This plan rejects climate change as a serious problem and calls for withdrawing from international agreements like the Paris Agreement. This would isolate the U.S. from the global community while jeopardizing the future of our planet for short-term economic gain.

This plan seeks to limit the growth of clean, renewable energy and increase dependence on fossil fuels, despite growing concerns about climate change and energy security. It would benefit oil and gas companies at the expense of American families and our environment.

This plan calls for reducing the size, budget, and scope of numerous federal agencies and departments. This includes proposals to eliminate the Department of Homeland Security, defund the Internal Revenue Service, weaken environmental protections, and shrink workforce development programs. These changes would make government less effective, more bureaucratic, and less able to serve Americans. It would harm public safety, economic security, and environmental protection, putting everyday people at risk.

This plan empowers the President to ignore the expertise of career civil servants and agency experts and substitute his own preferences. It undermines the institutional knowledge and professional capabilities of federal departments and agencies.

This plan seeks to weaken or repeal worker protections, including the 40-hour work week and workplace safety standards. It also aims to weaken the rights of workers to organize and engage in collective bargaining. This would lead to more precarious employment conditions, reduce wages, and benefit large corporations at the expense of ordinary workers.

This plan includes proposals to restrict SNAP eligibility, reform WIC, and return school meals to their 'original purpose.' These changes would likely limit access to food for the most vulnerable, including children, pregnant women, and families struggling to make ends meet.

This plan promotes school choice programs that would divert taxpayer dollars from public schools and would also weaken public education through unnecessary changes to federal oversight, curriculum regulations, and funding. It would reduce educational opportunities for many children, and it could threaten the livelihoods and job security of dedicated public school teachers. This plan also undermines teacher unions, which have fought to protect worker rights and public education. Furthermore, the NEA already discloses information about its spending, and charter revocation is unprecedented in modern times. This tactic, which will do nothing to improve education for any American, will only be used by a desperate president as a partisan cudgel.

This plan cuts funding for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and undermines workplace safety, potentially leading to more injuries, illnesses, and deaths for American workers.

Despite clear evidence that the trade war has failed, this plan supports protectionist trade policies, including tariffs and restrictions on imports and investment. These policies benefit a small number of industries at the expense of American consumers and businesses.

This plan expands the government's risk by advocating for additional subsidies and taxpayer-backed guarantees and loosening underwriting standards for lending programs.

This plan pushes for significant reforms to public pension plans, using accounting changes that dramatically inflate their liabilities. This could lead to cuts in pension benefits for retired public employees.

This plan promotes risky and untested economic policies, including tax cuts for the wealthy, deregulation, a return to the gold standard, and abolishing the Federal Reserve.
