Stop Project 2025 News Briefs

🔧 Senate Republicans Invoke “Nuclear Option” to Fast-Track Trump’s Nominees

• Senate Republicans voted 53-45 to change the rules so many Trump administration nominees—excluding judges, Cabinet, and Supreme Court positions—can be confirmed in bulk by simple majority. This move sidelines minority party voices and weakens oversight. [NY Times]

🏛️ Judges Push Back: Supreme Court’s Emergency Rulings Leave Courts in the Dark

• Federal appeals court judges are demanding clarity, warning that vague emergency orders from the Supreme Court are undermining justice. Those lower courts say they’re “flailing” without written reasoning. [Politico]

💊 MoveOn demands Schumer and Jeffries ‘hold the line’ on health care in shutdown fight

• With a government shutdown looming, MoveOn is urging Democrats led by Schumer and Jeffries to refuse to back funding bills that exclude essential healthcare provisions—like Medicaid protections and restoration of ACA subsidies. [Politico]

🚨 ICE Using “Crime Emergency” to Overcrowd D.C. Detention Facilities

• ICE is detaining hundreds under Trump’s “crime emergency,” filling temporary facilities with immigrants—many with asylum or green card claims—forcing them to sleep on floors and go without essentials. [Washington Post]

🎯 Congress Targets Boycott Movements—Criminalizing BDS Support

Rep. Lauren Boebert is pushing legislation that would make supporting the Palestine solidarity movement (BDS) legally punishable, attempting to silence dissent and limit freedom of expression under the guise of anti-terror law. [The Intercept]

Project 2025 is Harming Americans

Project 2025 is an extreme, authoritarian agenda that threatens American democracy, freedoms, and civil rights. Backed by conservative mega-donors like the Koch family and led by the Heritage Foundation and over 100 aligned groups, it lays out a 900+ page plan to centralize power under the presidency and permanently dismantle the federal government as we know it.

The plan would replace 50,000 nonpartisan civil servants with loyalists, grant the president near-total control over agencies like the DOJ, FBI, and Federal Reserve, and criminalize protest through militarized policing. It seeks to ban abortion and contraception, end LGBTQIA+ protections, dismantle public education, eliminate Medicaid and Medicare, and defund labor, environmental, and disability protections. Promoting Christian nationalism, it would erase the separation of church and state, suppress voting rights, and silence dissent—paving the way for a permanent far-right dictatorship.

Summary of Harms:

• Dismantles democracy and installs authoritarian rule

• Criminalizes dissent and minority communities

• Ends reproductive and LGBTQ+ rights

• Defunds public healthcare and education

• Destroys labor, environmental, and disability protections

• Increases tax burdens on working people

• Erases civil rights and church/state separation

• Suppresses voting and opposition voices

We must organize, resist, and protect our communities from this dangerous assault.

Together, we can Resist and Stop Project 2025

When leaders escape accountability, it signals that power—not justice—rules, eroding trust, fueling corruption, and opening the door to authoritarianism. Billionaire-backed justices and elites aren't serving the people—they’re scheming to suppress our voices, strip away our rights, and rule over us. But progress and power to the people is more than an idea; it’s a movement. By standing up, speaking out, and demanding dignity, opportunity, and justice for all, we can build an America that truly lives up to its promise.
