Project 2025 is a federal policy agenda that would drastically expand presidential powers, gut checks and balances, and undermine our democracy in pursuit of an extremist conservative administration. Click here for more details: https://accountable.us/expose-project... Devised by the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think-tank, Project 2025 is supported by a vast web of shadowy, dark money groups. The Heritage Foundation has deep connections with the former Trump administration – at least 140 former Trump administration officials having contributed to its creation. A major component of Project 2025 is the reissuing of Schedule F, an executive order that Trump tried to implement in 2020 and that would have effectively fired tens of thousands of career public servants solely because they were not entirely loyal to Trump. Schedule F undermines the civil service by filling those vacancies with – lackies doing the President’s bidding. This executive order would harm attempts at diplomacy, put our national security at risk, and call foreign intelligence into question.

In addition to undermining the civil service, Schedule F would be used to force the Department of Justice and other independent federal agencies to be placed under the direct control of a future conservative President. The potential ramifications of such a move are alarming. According to Project 2025, the President could direct the Department of Justice to investigate his political opponents, jail his adversaries, and use politically motivated reasoning to quash any investigations into him and his allies – moves which directly undermine American democracy. These unconstitutional actions are unlikely to be met with checks and balances from the Supreme Court. This Court has already paved the way for the President to use his authority to undermine our government. Project 2025 is a threat to democracy.
