Deep dives
Overview of Project 2025
Project 2025 is a comprehensive 900-page policy agenda created by the Heritage Foundation, aimed at restructuring the federal government for a potential second Trump administration. It seeks to overhaul a range of areas including education, civil rights, and healthcare, targeting progressive policies while promoting a conservative agenda. The project emphasizes shifting the Department of Justice's focus towards eliminating perceived anti-white racism, which includes calls for abolishing affirmative action. The implications of these proposals are significant, as they collectively push the federal government to fundamentally support conservative policies over social equity initiatives.
