Early this morning, Heather Cox Richardson wrote, "On January 24, Nik Popli noted in Time magazine that a number of the people who wrote Project 2025 have been tapped to serve in Trump’s second administration and that nearly two thirds of the executive orders Trump has signed either mirror or partly mirror the plans in that nearly 900-page document. “The real shame is that on the campaign trail, Trump did not level with Americans,” Skye Perryman of the legal organization Democracy Forward told Popli. “He didn't seek to try to convince Americans that this was his agenda. He acted as if he didn't have anything to do with Project 2025, when we know and have seen that he's really seeking to accelerate that agenda.'"
The reason for all of the chaos of yesterday was that Trump is attempting to shut down all areas of the Federal Government. The primary goal of Project 2025 is to make Trump a dictator, and in order to do that, he must destroy the Federal Goverment in it's entirety. He backed down when there was pushback from Democratic governors on Medicaid and Medicare, but he is going to persist. Because he does not understand or respect the rule of Law, he will continue to do illegal things until or unless he is stopped. But how? He controls the Dept of Justice. He stacked the SCOTUS. He has no regard for court orders and thanks to SCOTUS from last term , lacks any guardrails. Before it's all over, he will attempt to burn the Constitution down.
What can we do? Call your representatives in Washington-- United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121. Push back HARD.
