The people funding the Heritage Foundation -- who they are, what they donate, their priorities and which PACs and federal and state candidates they contribute to.
It's not so much that there's a piece I want to read, as there's the piece I want to forward to my Mom so she can launder it through a Facebook link to the Reagan/Trump Democrats she knows in rural western PA.
I'd love a definitive piece on its most pertinent, easily understood horrors so I can share with family/friends who are either poorly informed, or think it's an exaggeration.
If you can tie it into SCOTUS' decisions and Trump's love of authoritarianism all the better.
In all seriousness, Godspeed.
All of the ways the party that claims to love the military & veterans plans to screw over active duty, vets, and especially disabled vets with Project 2025.
the basics, laid out in a non-column-of-texts design with subheds that make it easy to pull the top 10-15 biggest/worst things with your eyes but read more if you want. so my brain can store 3-5 of them to retrieve in conversation
how they aim to eliminate public health & medical regulation incl childhood vaccination:
__never again should CDC officials be allowed to say in their official capacity that school children “should be” masked or vaccinated (through a schedule or otherwise)__

They claim in the text that they're only seeking to rationalize agencies and increase their independence from "Big Pharma" and narrow their focus, but you see the same approach as the Supreme Court to disempower any agency from doing anything except maybe a bit of record keeping, *maybe*.
what else they want to do besides ban porn, abortion, and trans/gay people. A lifetime cap on Medicaid benefits seems super cruel and there’s more of that nature, I’m sure.
What it would mean to schools/students if the department of education was dismantled. How would this effect people in their day to day. How would it effect people to “get rid of” the federal reserve and transition to the gold standard. A day in the life type of consequences piece
That most of what was in their 2015 blueprint was attempted during Trump's administration. As a regulatory policy nerd, I read it to understand what was coming and laid it out to the people I work for.
I don't need to read the piece, I need normies to
Links between the writers and Trump, along with statements Trump has made in support of elements of it, like enabling getting revenge on his enemies, more details about schedule F and what it would mean for democracy, if enforced.
That the response should be to fight for a truly democratic society with guaranteed rights for all, not just to fetishize the completely inadequate US political institutions which currently exist.
how dems plan to message about gop/think-tank extremism. how they plan to educate and teach how radical the right has been. how they might find things to constrain heritage -- is a non-profit really allowed to advance overthrowing the gov't this directly?
I'd love to see it picked apart line by line, please, from source to backers to effects if it were to happen.
We may just need to start with What does it say, it says WHAT?!?!? because it's being buried as fast as anyone can post it as far as I csn see
Cutting active military and VA benefits since lots of military people support conservatives. What they are considering “porn” since it entails anything LGBTQ+. Religious tests for employment their ‘loyalty’ tests include religion. Gutting anti-discrimination laws and how they affect everyone.
On the latter, gutting anti-discrimination laws so that the government and private businesses have a right to discriminate on any basis. This would include not hiring women because their ‘deeply held’ beliefs are that women should stay at home.
