Today, we learned that Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts will delay the publication of his book, “Dawn’s Early Light,” (foreword by GOP VP nominee J.D.
There will never be an end to this kind of psychopathic lying. The level of debasement to make stuff up is equal to their ability to make stuff up about ANYTHING AT ALL. It truly is a mental illness.
I totally agree! Thank goodness for Rossmann, who is a German billionaire that owns the second largest chain of drugstores in Germany. He has said his company will not be buying Teslas anymore because Elon Musk is supporting Trump. Except for Hungary and Russia, I think no one in Europe wants to see a Trump presidency either. Germans have expressed nothing but support where I live, for our work as Democrats Abroad and have promised to extend the news to the Americans they know on how to vote from abroad. Thanks to Prof. Vance's suggestion, my group in Democrats Abroad started a book club on Project 2025. After only reading and discussing 10 of the 30 chapters, I have a good sense of how much implementing their suggestions would turn the USA into a third world country. They would get rid of early childhood education for all but the wealthy, and that might not work out either. Child care is dubious too, because women are supposed to be kept in the home breeding and bringing up children. Public education as an institution might be destroyed since it will be unfunded from the federal government. There will be a lot of violence under this administration, and the USA will be the most unsafe it has been since nuclear weapons were invented. Not just because Trump would be the person with his finger on the button, but also because the Central Intelligence Agencies will put everything on hold for 60 days while they have a massive turnover of everyone working there so they can punish people who have done their jobs, and replace everyone who knows what they are doing with people whose only qualification is they will do whatever they are told and will not think for themselves. Not only will they replace them, but the idea is to lessen clearance procedures and to rotate people constantly, that is going to invite all of the spies of the world to descend on us and bad leaders can start all sorts of trouble in the world, we won't know about it. It gives them privilege to do all anything they want without our gathering any intel on them. Ukraine is toast. This document spells out us cutting lose our ties with the EU. That document is just filled with lies whining about Biden and Europe. China is the biggest enemy according to them, but they will not consider continuing alliances made in the region. Under a Trump administration we are going this alone. I also want to point out that Rick Dearborn, in the part called The White House Office talks about the president signing documents or it being signed by autopen. Since it seems that Dearborn is writing his own job description as Chief of Staff, and Trump has said he has all of the documents to institute this new government already drafted just waiting for his signature on Day 1, I imagine many, particularly the COS will be using the autopen to get it done. That means Trump won't even know everything he is signing, and Kevin Roberts has set up a situation where Trump does not really even need to be conscious and willing to get things done in this document. It does remind me of Hitler coming to power and convincing the German Parliament to give him unbridled power in certain cases which he immediately claimed. That was it for them and governance. The fact that more people are not alarmed is because the press and I specifically point out the NYT which really ran with Biden is old every day and that makes him unfit, and covered nothing about Trump. Now the story exists beyond them and no one I know wants to hear what they have to say anymore, or about their pathetic little polls. I am counting on the party of Hope, Joy and Freedom to lead us into the future.
Thank you for your summary of the disastrous Project 2025 and for calling out the MSM, particularly the New York Times. Why did the Times focus on Biden’s age when Trump has serious mental and physical problems and is almost as old as Biden? It’s a sad day in America when tyrants are excused and patriots are trashed. What’s wrong with this picture ?
Age was never the real issue. The fact that Biden has gone after the billionaires and millionaires with his IRS and FTC is the issue. Lena Khan is scaring them, and the IRS is getting some serious change from these people, though it is a drop in the bucket of what they owe. I personally think we should have much more simplified taxes that are automatically filed for us like some countries do, and we only say something if we disagree. I think really wealthy people should pay a much higher share of their income in taxes (70%) then we can all cheer as Elon Musk gets a big pay raise because that can help fund schools and daycare like it should instead of toys like Twitter and his space ships. Leave the space program to NASA. Also, it will make a lot of these billionaires less eager to live in the USA and mess with our government. Let them go live in a tax haven country, and mess with the government there. Of course they may have to do like the wealthy in the old days and hire private armies to protect them in their tax exempt havens, because the masses may not be so nice. Can see them turning like Haiti or South Sudan. So, the fact that Trump's age has never been mentioned once as a negative and while he is occasionally doddering he has been portrayed by our joke of a MSM as a strong bold man, if age were the matter it would have been brought up too. He will be one year older than Biden is now at the end of his second term, if he gets one, and he allows it to be his second term and does not extend it into perpetuity.
Voter suppression, SCOTUS rulings, tax schedule in favor of the very wealthy & big business, failures of Congressional progress, health rights, etc. Seems like it has been in process for past decade
Fantastic work Linda: An article I read outlined some preparations NATO/Western Europe are taking now,....if Heritage/Trump win, Great Britian does have enough warheads to provide all of NATO with protection. France, now independent is being urged to pool their defensive weapons.
Legal experts are coming forward to counter the planted election deniers. Does the 900 page document say anything about Heritage using the far right militas on day one?
President Biden, I would hope is beefing up counter measures to protect the nation and its citizens. Calling in counter insergency experts... military leaders loyal to the constitution...extremist informants and he could use what the supreme court powers given Trump against the Magats.
It am not done with the military section yet, at least the DOD part, and I have only read about 1/3 of it, so I cannot say. However, I have read other articles about the militias getting ready and concern that they will be doing voter intimidation at the polls. I started writing in January that I hoped he was placing our nukes with trusted allies just in case. That would not be something I would be privy to, but I am sure the DOD and the Intellegence communities have many thoughts on Trump and a lot of it is not pro! Each department can be using the document P2025 to figure out what is in store and how they might protect against it. Still, if implemented in part or in greater part, our country will not be a functioning first world nation. Even Hitler and Mussolini did not get rid of public education even though they destroyed their countries. Revolving the entire environmental and educational systems around End of Days beliefs of Christian Nationalists and The New Apostolic Reformation means you don't care about either. So, you don't really need to educate children because they aren't going to be on this earth for long, and the same with the environment, it is not a problem in Heaven or whatever the end result is for true believers in their minds. Read what Andra Watkins has to say comparing the two groups who have different End of Days beliefs. With NAR their beliefs require them to force their values and behaviors on everyone in our country and the world, so Christ will return to earth and take them with him, once everyone is "Godly." It is a very oppressive, racist, sexist, homophobic view of 'Godly." https://project2025istheocracy.substack.com/p/what-is-the-new-apostolic-reformation
Stephanie Miller reported today that the Seventh-day Adventists have pulled their support for MAGA. All these Christofacist religions need to read Matthew 7: 21-23 where the Lord simply says to the false prophets and leaders...."I never knew you."
They are the "fruitless trees to be cut down and burned."
The book of Revelation has been used to create fear and anxiety for centuries.
It also serves as a warning of what can and will be if the planet completly falls under Satanic domination.
These cults never teach the truth about "the book of life"....
Looking forward to your comments on the military section of 2025.
The election is coming soon, freedom is on the line and protection from tyranny is a priority.
Glad to hear it. Most of the SDA, and former SDA I know are Black and were never going to vote for Trump anyway. Still, anyone who is not a White Christian Nationalist, and takes their faith seriously, has got to have paused when they saw the behavior of Tim Walz when a person in the Wisconsin crowd got sick and he stopped his speech and everything to take care of them getting help, and how Trump comes to the religious crowds.
Linda: Red state governors are already sending their Guard troops to Texas to participate in operation Lone Star. The Brookings Institution had a panel about this last week.
Quality exchange at 1:08:25- Lauren Voss, GW Law Prof and reservist: Gen Lengyel’s answer at 1:10:25 was excellent! Lafayette square company commander hypothetical; then Gen Lengyel’s conclusion: we need to rely on leaders who will do the right thing. Can we count on that?
Operation Lone Star disputes are making their way thru courts. The problem going forward is that these zealots do not care what the courts rule. The law of armed conflict that guides our military will be ignored.
What happens when Red State governors send their Army and Air Force Guard units to support Trump?
Susan, our group Democrats Abroad is reading Project 2025 in book club format so that we can decode it and try to figure out some of the subtexts, and to share the information we are getting with others. Not everyone can slog through such a poorly written piece of prose. It is hard for me.
Linda, I appreciate that you and your group are putting in the effort. I'm having a difficult time going anywhere near it, though I have read some parts of it. I've read more than just the introductory stuff, but the intro stuff gives a very good idea of what they are all about, and how they try to make the unreasonable look reasonable.
Linda - I didn’t know about the auto sign. That’s terrifying! No wonder they are unconcerned about Trump’s mental condition. He will be the figurehead for the cult.
Yes Kay! You got that right. When I read about the autopen, and it was pointed out, I knew it was pointed out for a reason, and my imagination is running wild. Kevin Roberts wants to run the country through Trump, and they are all assuming, just like the elites in Germany did with Hitler, that he is going to be their useful idiot. Trump is difficult to handle, so they are banking on a lot. I would say, just catering to him and going about doing what they want to do to get around Congress, just like Hitler got Parliament to sign their rights away. We should be wary, wary, wary, and prepared. I face all problems by informing myself best I can. I am going to assume that a lot of preparations are being made behind the scenes, as they must be. It is so great that Kamala and Tim are out there campaigning and getting all the attention, because Biden can get a lot done. It is getting control of the Supreme Court and voting rights. Let us see what can happen.
And please, register if you haven't, and check your registration online frequently. In Pa, where I am, my registration was deleted twice already this year. I've had to re-establish each time with very little help until I start cc-ing the atty gen of my state. Don't be afraid to be vocal and ask if you're being targeted....and cc THAT too.
How do you know they’re lying? Their lips are moving.
Stephen Miller was on The Beat today and the lies and bile was astounding. Hey Merrick Garland: why haven’t these insurrectionists been indicted, tried, convicted and jailed?!?😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
OMG I saw that, too. Stephen Miller is just a disgusting, bilious individual who should never, never be allowed back into government of any kind. Yelling and screaming, ranting and raving during the interview. Ari remained calm and shut him down at the end. Go Ari, brave to even have him on! But sure showed us what could be in store…
I sometimes wonder why Ari has people like Miller and Peter Navarro on, but have finally realized that he does it so that we can see who these people really are.
How are we going to know, for ourselves, if someone doesn't take it out of the "I heard" realm and put it on tv where we can see it? Ari is tough as nails. Nothing can rattle him on is own show.
Exactly. Remember Chris Cuomo's program when he would continually have on the alternative fact lady? He said that's why he did so because it showed how crazy they are.
Maybe Jack Smith instead. He knows the opposition. He has experience dealing with war criminals. Let him off Garland’s leash. Shapiro is handling things in PA.
We need Jack Smith to continue his work as Special Counsel, otherwise the case would take a few steps back at a time when it could move forward - he is great in current position.
That , in my opinion would be a great choice. I first became aware of Josh S when he gave the grand jury's report on the Catholic church's involvement with the abuse of children in the PA. Catholic dioceses. He was articulate, angry, compassionate and very straight forward about the abuse of all the children over so many years.that never got reported.
Trump is too STUPID to know what's on the pages of Project 2025, but he (and they) are all about LYING and PROJECTION. All you have to do is READ Project 2025 and you realize that requirement number 1 with "conservatives" is LYING! Trump has said "out loud" several of the key components of the "project." Including abandoning the constitution, rounding up our undocumented neighbors and putting them in what amounts to CONCENTRATION camps, he's used NAZI language and Project 2025 is a roadmap to FASCISM - pure and simple. I've only read the first 100 (or so) pages and what's certain is that Trump will be "guided" by America's Oligarchs who are never able to accumulate enough MONEY. Trump wants to be like Putin and Project 2025 is designed to get him there!
@ David Piper. 80% of MAGA are "takers" not "makers" and have been targeted for a long time by the same folks that wrote Heritage 2025. They slit their own throats by supporting cuts and "sunsetting" of all benefits.
“The Trump proposal would cut SSI by more than $8 billion over the next decade, shrinking benefits for roughly a quarter of a million children with disabilities by between 38 and 66 percent. It would also increase SSI’s administrative costs and improper payments”.
The Republican study group planned to cut all SSI Childs benefits and sent a proposal to the Congressional Budget Office. CBO Eliminate Supplemental Security Income Benefits for Disabled Children. https://www.cbo.gov/budget-options/54742 (2018)
Background
The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program provides cash assistance to people who are disabled, aged, or both and who have low income and few assets. In 2018, 15 percent of SSI recipients, or 1.2 million people, are projected to be disabled children under age 18, receiving an average monthly benefit of $686. To receive benefits, those children must have marked, severe functional limitations and usually must live in a household with low income and few assets.
Option
This option would eliminate SSI benefits for disabled children.
You know trump would love to do that, given how he feels about people with disabilities. Remember the soldier who he said should never be seen in public? I guess he figures that if these kids have it too tough, they'll just die, which in his mind is fine and proper.
The FELON didn't want disabled veterans walking in the 2018 military parade, because "nobody wants to see that".
I will never forgive the FELON for not bothering to attend the 100th anniversary of Armistice Day at the American Cemetery in Normandy.
In WWI, my Grandfather was stabbed by a bayonet and got his men out of harms way, and was awarded the Purple Heart for bravery. He, next to Grandmother, are buried in Arlington, down the hill from JFK's eternal flame, but before the flame was there.
Andy, I didn't have anybody in my family fighting in any of our wars, but I still think the fact that trump's hair was more important than commemorating Armistice Day was a real travesty. I am in awe of the people who had the courage to fight in those wars.
Isn't that what he said should happen to his nephew's disabled son? I think it's his nephew who just wrote a book. I heard an interview, in which he said that his uncle (If I have the relationship right) said he should just let his son die and the nephew could move to FL. Makes me want to cry to know that the loud lies are being absorbed and believed by so many!
Nancy, you are correct in what you've said. You have the relationship right, and the disabled son right. Fred Trump is Mary's brother. donald trump can't deal with anyone who is less perfect than he is (thank God I have a different definition of perfect…).
As I said somewhere yesterday, the Justice Department has its hands full with all of the MAGAs because they are such crooks. In fact, taking them on will do a lot to drive down crime in America.
Agreed. Once such individual fanatics hijack democratic institutions they will work out how they can hold on to them against the majority in perpetuity. We have recently experienced 15 years of dystopia in Northern Ireland under the MAGA supporting Christo fascist white supremacist Reverend Ian Paisley’s Democratic Unionist Party. It has taken years and years of very slow social progress by the progressive majority, already made politically cautious after decades of sectarian violence, to begin to put this malicious genie back in the bottle. With alt right players like British Reform Party Nigel Farage and X’s Elon Musk now openly inciting civil war across the UK even that small advance is now imperiled.
Very sad to hear. I wish Northern Ireland the best, with success in putting the genie back in the bottle and then consigning that bottle to hell. Where it belongs. Those people need a taste of their own medicine.
Let’s hear it for TheWayBackMachine. archive.org. Where you can find a searchable pdf of the entire document. Just plug in the terms you are interested in, and the search will provide all the places, say, “parental rights” appear with the exact text.
I am even more frightened by them after reading your analysis of this. I have been reading deeply into Project 2025, which most people won't do and anything they say is false is true. This is authoritarianism at its finest and as a believer in democracy, I am terrified!
Are we supposed to be afraid? I hope not. Personally, I don't care how many there are. They all must be excised from our lives. Fear is debilitating. Action is what is needed.
Let's deal with the home grown people first. They are the immenient danger .All good points though. I am not dismissing anyones concerns. This is a very crazy and unsettling time in the 🇺🇸.
Never doubted for a second that DJT was lying-again- about Project 2025. He will do anything to be re-elected. I was very concerned hearing about the GOP's sinister plan to have States refuse to certify the ballots, if they don't like the results.
With hard work, maybe, a year from now, we can look back and say " we beat the devil 😈 "!!
As I understand it, lawsuit against them would work, because the certification is just ceremonial. The actual vote count doesn't lie. I was listening to Marc Elias yesterday, and I know he is on top of all of that.
Putting people in place ahead of time of the November election in preparation of denying election results/not certifying sounds a little treasonous to me…
But according to Stephen Miller’s explanation to Ari Melber last night, it is perfectly ok! What is really frightening to me is the distrust it creates in voting integrity and as a process.
He, Miller, is as bad as T. I learned from an RAF sergeant, that, the person who lost their cool , has lost the argument. I have found that to be very true!!
Apparently, while all of Project 2025’s 900-some-odd pages are public, its plans for implementation are not. I read last week that its 140 or so authors are now putting together a secret 180-day step-by-step implementation plan that would start on Day 1. Including Schedule F on steroids.
No one who studies Project 2025 would believe for one second that Trump’s hands weren’t all over it. And it’s amazing that actually studying it is an affront to MAGA. We took a month to study it at my church. To my surprise 30 people showed up on a weekday morning. There was only one negative response from someone who accused me of holding a hate fest. Interesting how getting educated about something is considered an act of hate.
I just don’t believe the convicted felon has the intellect nor the attention span to have too much to do with the creation of P25, but what he does have is the attention of a huge section of the voting public who thinks he’s a god and that P25’s projections are a mandate from god. Go figure. Mass hysteria.
I don't think Trump's hands are all over this—he doesn't read or write. But he has plenty of “friends” who do. In his first administration, Trump showed that he gets all of his ideas from others, apart from how he wants to look on TV.
Today, Aug 7th, Ari Melber interviewed Stephen Miller, trump's closest confidant for the last 10 years, and he lied like the proverbial rug , insisting that none of what's in P-25 will be implemented if trump is elected. When Ari called him on several points, his voice got an octave higher and he was visibly upset. You know, how cornered cats get, hissing and puffing up. (No offense to my cat!)
We need to know about people like Stephen Miller, et al, the Heritage Foundation, Project 2025; however, interviewing Miller was an act of futility and cheapened what Ari wanted to accomplish in informing his audience of the mindset behind the project. It was disgusting to watch Miller lie and to hear his voice get louder and louder and to never really answer any question posed by Mr. Melber. The less air time and publicity these RWNJs receive the better is our opportunity to be able to have civil civic discourse by a better informed public.
I was stunned to see Melber interviewing that snarling self righteous little prick. It's impressive that he can maintain his civility with such a nasty little Gollum of a creature.
Hard to watch, and then when he's called out became hysterical.
If I remember correctly, Project 2025 had four parts - the vision (which Trump is backing away from at warp speed), a database of loyalists (still there), a “training academy” (still in operation) and a 180 day plan (also still in existence). Its toxicity continues to exist. I think the next step will be for the Foundation to take it off the web so download it now. Interesting that the section Focus on the Family has apparently been subsumed. This is Trump’s playbook and he should own it.
Donold did not think up the ideas in Project 2025. He is not smart enough. But those ideas are cruel and hate filled, and psychopath that he is, he loves them.
Those ideas in that atrocious plan would condemn the country to the dark ages, literally. They are the seeds of evil, that if planted, will strangle the country like kudzu did to the south.
Yes, I agree but he’s vulnerable to all the “smart people” flattering him and telling him what to do. It’s no coincidence that the plan was written by his toadies.
I can certainly see that’s true for some of the authors but a vast number of them were Trump hires with little to any governing experience. Take Stephen Miller (please)
Not "playbook" but script. the convicted felon trump is a "reality tv" actor. He hasn't the interest or the ability to plan or participate in the creation of a plan, but he will play the part in front of the camera or a crowd as long as he can.
EXCELLENT OBSERVATION. I can see it now…. “Sir, we took all your brilliant thoughts and packaged them for you. Those ideas are the best the world has ever seen. Would you do us the honour of sharing them”?
And there’s this: post from Project 2025 in anything close to interpretive, and Meta, with help from a fact checkers from Dispatch and The Heritage Foundation, will delete your post with “false information” spread across where it used to live. Be sure to quote directly from the text; it’s scary enough all by itself. Avoid the temptation to put what you read into short phrases that you know capture the spirit of the thing. Meta, Dispatch, The Heritage Foundation are pretending that the left’s reposts are misguided, that there’s no there there to see. TheWayBackMachine. archive.org. “The Mandate for Leadership: Project 2025.”
HIPAA applies to fetuses? I have not read that section of the Project, but the very idea that a fetus needs privacy is jaw-dropping. I guess that with those people, the womb is no longer a private place…
I’ve noticed in the last 24 hours Stephen Miller and Trump have both invoked the word “communist” in their rhetoric. I haven’t noticed it before. Someone needs to counter with: “Well, Trump has gone on record several times supporting Putin. He’s a Communist.” Why don’t people call them on his and his surrogate’s BS?
Dawn’s Early Light isn’t coming out until after the election. This doesn’t mean they are not going to proceed with their plan. They are even aware that this plan might even lose Republican votes. don continues to lie that he knows nothing even when there are now pictures of him on a private jet with proponent of Project 2025. It is imperative that we don’t sit back but continue to be all in for the next ninety days. We can do this. Together we will save Democracy!
Thank you for this column. No, Project 2025 is not going away, evien if Trump is defeated in November. It will always be lurking in the background, its sponsors ever ready to snatch any opportunity to spring their trap on an unsuspecting public. Initially confused by their willingness to make their plans so public, I have concluded that these people are so blinded by their own hubris that they are actually proud of this screed. We need to keep this plan in public view, keep it in public discourse, and to keep shoving it down their throats.
On a side note concerning the "Over one hundred respected organizations from across the conservative movement" one might ask respected by whom? And, unless I've misread the list of suspects they published, I noted the absence of the Hoover Institution from among its perpetrators. Hoover is almost always wrong, but I don't see them as malign. But maybe that's just me.
Honestly, even if it were just the things they're willing to *admit* are true, it's more than enough reason to crash that project and burn it. More business deregulation? The last thing we need.
I’m sorry, but it pisses me off that newspapers and news websites, all across America, don’t have the balls to call Trump out for the blatant liar he is!
The title of the “news” article should read:
“Donald J Trump is a Liar, a Con and a Fraud”
The article should contain a photo of the TruthSocial post Trump did - the one pictured in Joyce Vance’s post today, which begins…..
“I know nothing about Project 2025”
And, immediately after that photo should appear the photo of Trump on the plane with Roberts, and these words should appear under that photo…..
In April 2022, Trump and Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts, the front man for Project 2025, took a 45-minute private plane flight together to get to a Heritage Foundation conference where the former president was one of the speakers. Trump told the audience that the Heritage Foundation was "going to lay the groundwork and detail plans for exactly what our movement will do."
DONALD J TRUMP is a LIAR, a CON, and a FRAUD.
————
Must be put on the FRONT PAGE every newspaper and on the FRONT PAGE of every news website!!!
I suspect that the convicted felon trump may actually not be lying when he says, "I know nothing about Project 2025". He does not appear to know much of anything about anything. I don't believe he has any curiosity or interest in anything or anybody other than himself.
It appears that he found his perfect job when he became an actor for "reality tv" and that his entire political career is just another "reality" show. He doesn't write the scripts or even know what the theme is.
There will never be an end to this kind of psychopathic lying. The level of debasement to make stuff up is equal to their ability to make stuff up about ANYTHING AT ALL. It truly is a mental illness.
Every living voting American citizen should vote for VP Harris.........2025\Trump should receive ZERO votes coast to coast.
I totally agree! Thank goodness for Rossmann, who is a German billionaire that owns the second largest chain of drugstores in Germany.

He will be one year older than Biden is now at the end of his second term, if he gets one, and he allows it to be his second term and does not extend it into perpetuity.
Wow! This is a great synopsis of how this plan would be rolled out and the destruction it would cause!
Voter suppression, SCOTUS rulings, tax schedule in favor of the very wealthy & big business, failures of Congressional progress, health rights, etc. Seems like it has been in process for past decade
minimum
Fantastic work Linda: An article I read outlined some preparations NATO/Western Europe are taking now,....if Heritage/Trump win, Great Britian does have enough warheads to provide all of NATO with protection. France, now independent is being urged to pool their defensive weapons.
Legal experts are coming forward to counter the planted election deniers. Does the 900 page document say anything about Heritage using the far right militas on day one?
President Biden, I would hope is beefing up counter measures to protect the nation and its citizens. Calling in counter insergency experts... military leaders loyal to the constitution...extremist informants and he could use what the supreme court powers given Trump against the Magats.
It am not done with the military section yet, at least the DOD part, and I have only read about 1/3 of it, so I cannot say. However, I have read other articles about the militias getting ready and concern that they will be doing voter intimidation at the polls. I started writing in January that I hoped he was placing our nukes with trusted allies just in case. That would not be something I would be privy to, but I am sure the DOD and the Intellegence communities have many thoughts on Trump and a lot of it is not pro! Each department can be using the document P2025 to figure out what is in store and how they might protect against it. Still, if implemented in part or in greater part, our country will not be a functioning first world nation. Even Hitler and Mussolini did not get rid of public education even though they destroyed their countries. Revolving the entire environmental and educational systems around End of Days beliefs of Christian Nationalists and The New Apostolic Reformation means you don't care about either. So, you don't really need to educate children because they aren't going to be on this earth for long, and the same with the environment, it is not a problem in Heaven or whatever the end result is for true believers in their minds. Read what Andra Watkins has to say comparing the two groups who have different End of Days beliefs. With NAR their beliefs require them to force their values and behaviors on everyone in our country and the world, so Christ will return to earth and take them with him, once everyone is "Godly." It is a very oppressive, racist, sexist, homophobic view of 'Godly." https://project2025istheocracy.substack.com/p/what-is-the-new-apostolic-reformation
Stephanie Miller reported today that the Seventh-day Adventists have pulled their support for MAGA. All these Christofacist religions need to read Matthew 7: 21-23 where the Lord simply says to the false prophets and leaders...."I never knew you."
They are the "fruitless trees to be cut down and burned."
The book of Revelation has been used to create fear and anxiety for centuries.
It also serves as a warning of what can and will be if the planet completly falls under Satanic domination.
These cults never teach the truth about "the book of life"....
Looking forward to your comments on the military section of 2025.
The election is coming soon, freedom is on the line and protection from tyranny is a priority.
Glad to hear it. Most of the SDA, and former SDA I know are Black and were never going to vote for Trump anyway. Still, anyone who is not a White Christian Nationalist, and takes their faith seriously, has got to have paused when they saw the behavior of Tim Walz when a person in the Wisconsin crowd got sick and he stopped his speech and everything to take care of them getting help, and how Trump comes to the religious crowds.
Linda: Red state governors are already sending their Guard troops to Texas to participate in operation Lone Star. The Brookings Institution had a panel about this last week.
https://www.brookings.edu/events/domestic-deployment-of-the-national-guard/ (https://www.brookings.edu/events/domestic-deployment-of-the-national-guard/)
Here’s the YouTube of the panel:

Quality exchange at 1:08:25- Lauren Voss, GW Law Prof and reservist: Gen Lengyel’s answer at 1:10:25 was excellent! Lafayette square company commander hypothetical; then Gen Lengyel’s conclusion: we need to rely on leaders who will do the right thing. Can we count on that?
Operation Lone Star disputes are making their way thru courts. The problem going forward is that these zealots do not care what the courts rule. The law of armed conflict that guides our military will be ignored.
What happens when Red State governors send their Army and Air Force Guard units to support Trump?

Trump asks why US can’t use nukes

As usual, Linda, you are right on! Thank you for sharing about what you've read.
Susan, our group Democrats Abroad is reading Project 2025 in book club format so that we can decode it and try to figure out some of the subtexts, and to share the information we are getting with others. Not everyone can slog through such a poorly written piece of prose. It is hard for me.
Linda, I appreciate that you and your group are putting in the effort. I'm having a difficult time going anywhere near it, though I have read some parts of it. I've read more than just the introductory stuff, but the intro stuff gives a very good idea of what they are all about, and how they try to make the unreasonable look reasonable.
Linda - I didn’t know about the auto sign. That’s terrifying! No wonder they are unconcerned about Trump’s mental condition. He will be the figurehead for the cult.
Yes Kay! You got that right. When I read about the autopen, and it was pointed out, I knew it was pointed out for a reason, and my imagination is running wild. Kevin Roberts wants to run the country through Trump, and they are all assuming, just like the elites in Germany did with Hitler, that he is going to be their useful idiot. Trump is difficult to handle, so they are banking on a lot. I would say, just catering to him and going about doing what they want to do to get around Congress, just like Hitler got Parliament to sign their rights away. We should be wary, wary, wary, and prepared. I face all problems by informing myself best I can. I am going to assume that a lot of preparations are being made behind the scenes, as they must be. It is so great that Kamala and Tim are out there campaigning and getting all the attention, because Biden can get a lot done. It is getting control of the Supreme Court and voting rights. Let us see what can happen.
They'll freeze him before he's dead, make no mistake. kevin Roberts would be our ruling king if the orange pustule is elected.

How do you know they’re lying? Their lips are moving.
Stephen Miller was on The Beat today and the lies and bile was astounding. Hey Merrick Garland: why haven’t these insurrectionists been indicted, tried, convicted and jailed?!?😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
OMG I saw that, too. Stephen Miller is just a disgusting, bilious individual who should never, never be allowed back into government of any kind. Yelling and screaming, ranting and raving during the interview. Ari remained calm and shut him down at the end. Go Ari, brave to even have him on! But sure showed us what could be in store…
Stephen Miller is the epitome of a Nazi to my mind. Sorry for the choice but that's how I experience him.
The Jewish Nazi looks like Joseph Goebbels.
I haven’t seen anything that unhinged in a very long time, if ever. Props to Ari Melber for shutting down the max crazy at the end.
Merrick Garland, who’s that??? Absent from action.
I saw that interview and Miller’s answers were lies and BS and loud. Seems like he uses the volume approach to make things true.
I sometimes wonder why Ari has people like Miller and Peter Navarro on, but have finally realized that he does it so that we can see who these people really are.
Ari was able to have Navarro spill the beans about the fake electors.
I'll bet Navarro still think he's real smart. Good on Ari.
How are we going to know, for ourselves, if someone doesn't take it out of the "I heard" realm and put it on tv where we can see it? Ari is tough as nails. Nothing can rattle him on is own show.
And that's a good thing. I'm glad he is that tough because I can't deal with people like that.
Exactly. Remember Chris Cuomo's program when he would continually have on the alternative fact lady? He said that's why he did so because it showed how crazy they are.
I am not familiar with Chris Cuomo's program, but I'm glad that he was up for showing how crazy those people are.
Perhaps President Harris would nominate Josh Shapiro for AG, that’d be fireworks for sure…
Maybe Jack Smith instead. He knows the opposition. He has experience dealing with war criminals. Let him off Garland’s leash. Shapiro is handling things in PA.
We need Jack Smith to continue his work as Special Counsel, otherwise the case would take a few steps back at a time when it could move forward - he is great in current position.
Schiff would another good choice, but he'll be elected CA's JR Senator.
That's an interesting idea. I like it.
That , in my opinion would be a great choice. I first became aware of Josh S when he gave the grand jury's report on the Catholic church's involvement with the abuse of children in the PA. Catholic dioceses. He was articulate, angry, compassionate and very straight forward about the abuse of all the children over so many years.that never got reported.
Stephen Miller looks and acts like a Hitler hatchet man. I equate him to Hitler’s Himmler.
Thank you. That's how I experience him as well.
Stephen Miller is one of the most disgusting robotic monsters of our time.
OMG. I saw him as well. That guy is really obscene. Fits right in with hitler's gang.
Trump is too STUPID to know what's on the pages of Project 2025, but he (and they) are all about LYING and PROJECTION. All you have to do is READ Project 2025 and you realize that requirement number 1 with "conservatives" is LYING! Trump has said "out loud" several of the key components of the "project." Including abandoning the constitution, rounding up our undocumented neighbors and putting them in what amounts to CONCENTRATION camps, he's used NAZI language and Project 2025 is a roadmap to FASCISM - pure and simple. I've only read the first 100 (or so) pages and what's certain is that Trump will be "guided" by America's Oligarchs who are never able to accumulate enough MONEY. Trump wants to be like Putin and Project 2025 is designed to get him there!
@ David Piper. 80% of MAGA are "takers" not "makers" and have been targeted for a long time by the same folks that wrote Heritage 2025. They slit their own throats by supporting cuts and "sunsetting" of all benefits.
E.G. as president, Trump tried and failed to cut benefits drastically. Some Republicans wanted to replace the entire benefits system. See. Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, Trump, House Republican Cuts to SSI Would Harm Children With Disabilities, Sept. 18, 2017, Kathleen Romig and Guillermo Herrera. https://www.cbpp.org/research/social-security/trump-house-republican-cuts-to-ssi-would-harm-children-with-disabilities
“The Trump proposal would cut SSI by more than $8 billion over the next decade, shrinking benefits for roughly a quarter of a million children with disabilities by between 38 and 66 percent. It would also increase SSI’s administrative costs and improper payments”.
The Republican study group planned to cut all SSI Childs benefits and sent a proposal to the Congressional Budget Office. CBO Eliminate Supplemental Security Income Benefits for Disabled Children. https://www.cbo.gov/budget-options/54742 (2018)
Background
The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program provides cash assistance to people who are disabled, aged, or both and who have low income and few assets. In 2018, 15 percent of SSI recipients, or 1.2 million people, are projected to be disabled children under age 18, receiving an average monthly benefit of $686. To receive benefits, those children must have marked, severe functional limitations and usually must live in a household with low income and few assets.
Option
This option would eliminate SSI benefits for disabled children.
Oh yes, let’s keep having those babies so we can cut off all support for them after they are born! Now that really sounds like a good plan, eh? NOT!
You know trump would love to do that, given how he feels about people with disabilities. Remember the soldier who he said should never be seen in public? I guess he figures that if these kids have it too tough, they'll just die, which in his mind is fine and proper.
The FELON didn't want disabled veterans walking in the 2018 military parade, because "nobody wants to see that".
I will never forgive the FELON for not bothering to attend the 100th anniversary of Armistice Day at the American Cemetery in Normandy.
In WWI, my Grandfather was stabbed by a bayonet and got his men out of harms way, and was awarded the Purple Heart for bravery. He, next to Grandmother, are buried in Arlington, down the hill from JFK's eternal flame, but before the flame was there.
Andy, I didn't have anybody in my family fighting in any of our wars, but I still think the fact that trump's hair was more important than commemorating Armistice Day was a real travesty. I am in awe of the people who had the courage to fight in those wars.
Isn't that what he said should happen to his nephew's disabled son? I think it's his nephew who just wrote a book. I heard an interview, in which he said that his uncle (If I have the relationship right) said he should just let his son die and the nephew could move to FL. Makes me want to cry to know that the loud lies are being absorbed and believed by so many!
Nancy, you are correct in what you've said. You have the relationship right, and the disabled son right. Fred Trump is Mary's brother. donald trump can't deal with anyone who is less perfect than he is (thank God I have a different definition of perfect…).
As I said somewhere yesterday, the Justice Department has its hands full with all of the MAGAs because they are such crooks. In fact, taking them on will do a lot to drive down crime in America.
TRUMP: "Crime is UP in America, (and I should know.)"
Agreed. Once such individual fanatics hijack democratic institutions they will work out how they can hold on to them against the majority in perpetuity. We have recently experienced 15 years of dystopia in Northern Ireland under the MAGA supporting Christo fascist white supremacist Reverend Ian Paisley’s Democratic Unionist Party. It has taken years and years of very slow social progress by the progressive majority, already made politically cautious after decades of sectarian violence, to begin to put this malicious genie back in the bottle. With alt right players like British Reform Party Nigel Farage and X’s Elon Musk now openly inciting civil war across the UK even that small advance is now imperiled.
Very sad to hear. I wish Northern Ireland the best, with success in putting the genie back in the bottle and then consigning that bottle to hell. Where it belongs. Those people need a taste of their own medicine.

You must be one of those cat ladies, Monnina. Definitely a good thing to be!
The END comes when we overwhelmingly elect The Harris Walz team…

Thank , Cassandra Hare.
Count the instances of "radical left" or even just "radical."
Wanna know what's radical? Project 2025.
Cool! Thx for the heads up
I am even more frightened by them after reading your analysis of this. I have been reading deeply into Project 2025, which most people won't do and anything they say is false is true. This is authoritarianism at its finest and as a believer in democracy, I am terrified!
Being "terrified" is exactly the wrong reaction. Get mad, get up, fight them. Beat them like a 2 dollar drum.
If being "terrified" helps people rise up to battle the far right, so much the better.
Being terrified IS what’s made me determined!
“Never knew how brave [he/she/they] was, until I saw how scared [he/she/they] was”
Exactly! Been active and fighting since 2016 and won't stop!
And Trump is just the puppet for these GOP power-grubbing thugs!
I keep thinking that althoughTrump sees himself as a great friend with Putin, Orbàn, etc., they also regard him as their puppet.
Deep breaths .Don't be afraid of the weirdo. He thrives on bullying and intimidating people. Don't surrender! Have faith that he won't win !
But it's not him alone. These are the backroom boys with tons of money who want a world where they are each king of their fiefdoms.
Are we supposed to be afraid? I hope not. Personally, I don't care how many there are. They all must be excised from our lives. Fear is debilitating. Action is what is needed.
You mean like Putin and Orban?
Let's deal with the home grown people first. They are the immenient danger .All good points though. I am not dismissing anyones concerns. This is a very crazy and unsettling time in the 🇺🇸.
Never doubted for a second that DJT was lying-again- about Project 2025. He will do anything to be re-elected. I was very concerned hearing about the GOP's sinister plan to have States refuse to certify the ballots, if they don't like the results.
With hard work, maybe, a year from now, we can look back and say " we beat the devil 😈 "!!
90 days and 12 hours.
Doesn't matter if DJT knew about it.
Project 2025 is now THE GOP PLATFORM for the next several elections.
It's the same old, same old, just with a new title and even more nastiness and evil.
Problem is, if T gets back in we’ll never get him out. Between Insurrection Act and SC grant of immunity. . . .
I heard that yesterday. Concerning. Have wondered what would happen if states refused to certify a Harris victory. Especially with a partisan SC.
As I understand it, lawsuit against them would work, because the certification is just ceremonial. The actual vote count doesn't lie. I was listening to Marc Elias yesterday, and I know he is on top of all of that.
We need to know more about this
Putting people in place ahead of time of the November election in preparation of denying election results/not certifying sounds a little treasonous to me…
But according to Stephen Miller’s explanation to Ari Melber last night, it is perfectly ok! What is really frightening to me is the distrust it creates in voting integrity and as a process.
He, Miller, is as bad as T. I learned from an RAF sergeant, that, the person who lost their cool , has lost the argument. I have found that to be very true!!
Apparently, while all of Project 2025’s 900-some-odd pages are public, its plans for implementation are not. I read last week that its 140 or so authors are now putting together a secret 180-day step-by-step implementation plan that would start on Day 1. Including Schedule F on steroids.
Oh, it’s done - just not shared….
Just wait till the secret 180-day step-by-step implementation plan is LEAKED!!
The GOP will be dead for a generation.
We can only hope…
If so, maybe Congress ought to subpoena the authors to find out how they propose to overturn our government and our way of life.
I heard the same!
Excellent point!
Gotta love the part that says it " paves the way for an effective conservative administration." OH, so benign 😳🤮⁉️
🤬🤬🤬
No one who studies Project 2025 would believe for one second that Trump’s hands weren’t all over it. And it’s amazing that actually studying it is an affront to MAGA. We took a month to study it at my church. To my surprise 30 people showed up on a weekday morning. There was only one negative response from someone who accused me of holding a hate fest. Interesting how getting educated about something is considered an act of hate.
I just don’t believe the convicted felon has the intellect nor the attention span to have too much to do with the creation of P25, but what he does have is the attention of a huge section of the voting public who thinks he’s a god and that P25’s projections are a mandate from god. Go figure. Mass hysteria.
Trump has no capacity to understand that he is only a convenient tool for P 25.
A silly puppet.
Project 2025 will not go away when Trump crumbles.
We will have to maintain vigilance for a very long time.
We must remain aware and wary.
Agreed!!
I don't think Trump's hands are all over this—he doesn't read or write. But he has plenty of “friends” who do. In his first administration, Trump showed that he gets all of his ideas from others, apart from how he wants to look on TV.
In my view, the writing is poorly edited or multiple people have contributed to specific subjects.
I have read that dozens of people have worked on it.
Today, Aug 7th, Ari Melber interviewed Stephen Miller, trump's closest confidant for the last 10 years, and he lied like the proverbial rug , insisting that none of what's in P-25 will be implemented if trump is elected. When Ari called him on several points, his voice got an octave higher and he was visibly upset. You know, how cornered cats get, hissing and puffing up. (No offense to my cat!)
Miller was a raving racist when he was in high school. There is tape. I like the nickname he has acquired: Discount Goebbels.
Pee Wee German!
We need to know about people like Stephen Miller, et al, the Heritage Foundation, Project 2025; however, interviewing Miller was an act of futility and cheapened what Ari wanted to accomplish in informing his audience of the mindset behind the project. It was disgusting to watch Miller lie and to hear his voice get louder and louder and to never really answer any question posed by Mr. Melber. The less air time and publicity these RWNJs receive the better is our opportunity to be able to have civil civic discourse by a better informed public.
I think he did us a favor. Real journalism shows people who is planning what, so as disgusting as it was to see him, it was a benefit to have him on.
I cannot imagine anyone wanting to be in that ghouls presence.
Rmeeber when he got Peter Navarro to admit on camera that he was plotting a coup? Priceless.
My thoughts exactly, Jen.
I was stunned to see Melber interviewing that snarling self righteous little prick. It's impressive that he can maintain his civility with such a nasty little Gollum of a creature.
Hard to watch, and then when he's called out became hysterical.
Trumpanzees would put that thing in charge.
They are such wicked evil people.
I meant to say sick and wicked…
If I remember correctly, Project 2025 had four parts - the vision (which Trump is backing away from at warp speed), a database of loyalists (still there), a “training academy” (still in operation) and a 180 day plan (also still in existence). Its toxicity continues to exist. I think the next step will be for the Foundation to take it off the web so download it now. Interesting that the section Focus on the Family has apparently been subsumed. This is Trump’s playbook and he should own it.
Donold did not think up the ideas in Project 2025. He is not smart enough. But those ideas are cruel and hate filled, and psychopath that he is, he loves them.
Those ideas in that atrocious plan would condemn the country to the dark ages, literally. They are the seeds of evil, that if planted, will strangle the country like kudzu did to the south.
Yes, I agree but he’s vulnerable to all the “smart people” flattering him and telling him what to do. It’s no coincidence that the plan was written by his toadies.
Respectfully, it's just the opposite. They are in power by virtue of their fortunes, and they've picked Trumpeter as a shill and symbol.
I can certainly see that’s true for some of the authors but a vast number of them were Trump hires with little to any governing experience. Take Stephen Miller (please)
TY!
Don’t forget the database with the names of federal employees and other enemies…!
I HAD forgotten -but you’re right. The retribution list grows daily, I’m sure!
Remember to also download Amendment 47
Agenda
Not "playbook" but script. the convicted felon trump is a "reality tv" actor. He hasn't the interest or the ability to plan or participate in the creation of a plan, but he will play the part in front of the camera or a crowd as long as he can.
EXCELLENT OBSERVATION. I can see it now…. “Sir, we took all your brilliant thoughts and packaged them for you. Those ideas are the best the world has ever seen. Would you do us the honour of sharing them”?
There will be tears. Don’t forget the streaming tears. Your greatness makes us cry.
And there’s this: post from Project 2025 in anything close to interpretive, and Meta, with help from a fact checkers from Dispatch and The Heritage Foundation, will delete your post with “false information” spread across where it used to live. Be sure to quote directly from the text; it’s scary enough all by itself. Avoid the temptation to put what you read into short phrases that you know capture the spirit of the thing. Meta, Dispatch, The Heritage Foundation are pretending that the left’s reposts are misguided, that there’s no there there to see. TheWayBackMachine. archive.org. “The Mandate for Leadership: Project 2025.”
I noticed that too. Whenever I mention Project 2025 I use exact quotes so they cannot say I’m spreading disinformation.
For example the section on abortion says “the Dobbs decision is just the beginning” and also says that HIPAA applies to fetuses.
HIPAA applies to fetuses? I have not read that section of the Project, but the very idea that a fetus needs privacy is jaw-dropping. I guess that with those people, the womb is no longer a private place…
Hi Joyce,
I’ve noticed in the last 24 hours Stephen Miller and Trump have both invoked the word “communist” in their rhetoric. I haven’t noticed it before. Someone needs to counter with: “Well, Trump has gone on record several times supporting Putin. He’s a Communist.” Why don’t people call them on his and his surrogate’s BS?
In it with you,
Dave
Dawn’s Early Light isn’t coming out until after the election. This doesn’t mean they are not going to proceed with their plan. They are even aware that this plan might even lose Republican votes. don continues to lie that he knows nothing even when there are now pictures of him on a private jet with proponent of Project 2025. It is imperative that we don’t sit back but continue to be all in for the next ninety days. We can do this. Together we will save Democracy!
I wonder why the federal government allows Trump to host all these foreign leaders at his Florida Mar-a-lago?
Great question. I think it’s very suspicious too.
Thank you for this column. No, Project 2025 is not going away, evien if Trump is defeated in November. It will always be lurking in the background, its sponsors ever ready to snatch any opportunity to spring their trap on an unsuspecting public. Initially confused by their willingness to make their plans so public, I have concluded that these people are so blinded by their own hubris that they are actually proud of this screed. We need to keep this plan in public view, keep it in public discourse, and to keep shoving it down their throats.
On a side note concerning the "Over one hundred respected organizations from across the conservative movement" one might ask respected by whom? And, unless I've misread the list of suspects they published, I noted the absence of the Hoover Institution from among its perpetrators. Hoover is almost always wrong, but I don't see them as malign. But maybe that's just me.
Oh, they’re there…. If you go their website, there’s an article (now removed) that favourably compares their viewpoints of education to Project 2025.
Thanks for this information.
Yep, once it's in writing it doesn't die.
Honestly, even if it were just the things they're willing to *admit* are true, it's more than enough reason to crash that project and burn it. More business deregulation? The last thing we need.
No Joy in Project 2025. Say Goodbye, Donald.
I couldn’t agree more. And Donald and Stephen Miller, et al, are just today’s scum on the cess pool.
I’m sorry, but it pisses me off that newspapers and news websites, all across America, don’t have the balls to call Trump out for the blatant liar he is!
The title of the “news” article should read:
“Donald J Trump is a Liar, a Con and a Fraud”
The article should contain a photo of the TruthSocial post Trump did - the one pictured in Joyce Vance’s post today, which begins…..
“I know nothing about Project 2025”
And, immediately after that photo should appear the photo of Trump on the plane with Roberts, and these words should appear under that photo…..
In April 2022, Trump and Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts, the front man for Project 2025, took a 45-minute private plane flight together to get to a Heritage Foundation conference where the former president was one of the speakers. Trump told the audience that the Heritage Foundation was "going to lay the groundwork and detail plans for exactly what our movement will do."
DONALD J TRUMP is a LIAR, a CON, and a FRAUD.
————
Must be put on the FRONT PAGE every newspaper and on the FRONT PAGE of every news website!!!
I suspect that the convicted felon trump may actually not be lying when he says, "I know nothing about Project 2025". He does not appear to know much of anything about anything. I don't believe he has any curiosity or interest in anything or anybody other than himself.
It appears that he found his perfect job when he became an actor for "reality tv" and that his entire political career is just another "reality" show. He doesn't write the scripts or even know what the theme is.
