Summary

Although Trump initially denied any connection to Project 2025, a conservative policy agenda, he has appointed two of its contributors to key Cabinet roles.

These appointments suggest the document could shape his second-term priorities, focusing on expanding presidential authority, deregulation, and advancing religious right objectives.

Tom Homan, Trump’s new “border czar,” has supported some of the agenda’s immigration proposals, such as expanding expedited removals and ending DACA.

Brendan Carr, nominated to lead the FCC, aims to challenge Big Tech by revoking Section 230 protections and restricting platforms like TikTok.

    Infiltrating makes it sound like it’s something that is being done in secret and no one expected as opposed to being the plan from the beginning.

    Anyone who said that Project 2025 wasn’t something to be afraid of, that it was simply a boogeyman that they made you be afraid of but is nothing important, should be fucking ashamed of themselves.
