Stop Project 2025 News Briefs
🔫 Pentagon in Uproar Over "Department of War" Rebrand
Trump’s order to rebrand the Department of Defense as the “Department of War” has ignited anger and confusion inside the Pentagon. Critics say it’s a costly vanity project—wasting billions on labels while ignoring the real needs of service members and national security. [Politico]
🚓 ICE Lures Cops with Propaganda Commercial
ICE is rolling out a flashy recruitment ad, urging cops to “defend America” by hunting immigrants. The pitch? A $50,000 bonus, student loan forgiveness, and cushy benefits—blood money dressed up as patriotism to expand Trump’s deportation machine. [Los Angeles Times]
🆓 Judge Overturns Trump’s Block on Harvard Funding
A federal judge struck down Trump’s attempt to freeze $2.2 billion in Harvard’s federal funding—calling it what it was: an unlawful power grab. This wasn’t just an attack on one university—it was an attack on academic freedom and the pursuit of truth. The ruling is a reminder that knowledge, research, and education belong to the people, not to partisan politics. [MSNBC]
🗳️ Missouri Republicans Push Trump-Backed Redistricting Plan
Trump-backed Republicans in Missouri have forced a special session to ram through new congressional maps—an outrageous mid-decade power grab. Their scheme carves up Kansas City, targeting Rep. Emanuel Cleaver’s district by fusing urban communities with far-flung rural areas to weaken Democratic voices. The NAACP and local residents call it what it is: blatant gerrymandering. Cleaver warns the plan is not only “morally corrupt” but a direct assault on the Constitution itself.[Mother Jones]
🔧 State Department Agents Now Enforcing Immigration Law
The State Department’s Diplomatic Security Service—agents trained to stop crime and protect diplomats—is now being diverted into immigration crackdowns. Instead of diplomacy, they’re being weaponized for deportation duty, erasing the line between foreign service and Trump’s enforcement machine. [Wired]
🗳 Republicans Move to Fast-Track Trump Nominees
Frustrated by Senate Democrats holding the line, Republicans are scheming to ram through Trump’s nominees in bulk—stripping away debate, oversight, and accountability. It’s a reckless power play that puts speed over scrutiny and shreds one more safeguard of democracy. [Politico]
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.
