Hi everybody! As I wrote final month, Project 2025 “stands as the single most successful policy initiative of the entire Trump era.” Over the previous 12 months, I’ve carefully watched how the Trump administration has applied most of the insurance policies and concepts outlined in Project 2025:

• Donald Trump has laid off a whole bunch of hundreds of federal workers, slashed environmental rules, disregarded key civil-rights-enforcement strategies, dismantled something that is likely to be construed as DEI, and set the agenda for aggressive immigration insurance policies.
• The White House fired line prosecutors, and Trump has made disputed appointments of his personal former private attorneys to lead U.S. Attorney’s Offices. Prosecutors have additionally introduced expenses towards a lot of Trump’s political foes.
• The administration has dabbled in impounding funds appropriated by Congress, regardless of a regulation barring this. It has additionally mounted a significant assault on the independence of regulatory businesses, as established by Congress, and Trump has fired a number of appointees, typically in obvious violation of regulation, although the Supreme Court has allowed him to proceed.

Trump’s growth of presidential powers will permit his administration to realize extra of Project 2025’s ambitions within the coming 12 months and past. In this AMA, I’ll reply questions on what objectives of Project 2025 have been completed thus far, the methods by which Project 2025 has not but succeeded, and what we may count on transferring ahead. Ask me something!
