Stop Project 2025 News Briefs
⚠️ Trump Puts a Project 2025 Architect in Charge of the Numbers
Donald Trump just tapped E.J. Antoni—a leading architect of Project 2025 who openly wants to eliminate the federal jobs report—to run the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This is no small move. The jobs report is one of the most trusted measures of how working families are doing. Gutting it would blind the public and shield the wealthy few from accountability (Mother Jones, 2025).
🗳️ Project 2025 Comes for South Carolina
The far-right’s takeover plans aren’t just about Trump’s appointments. They’re running candidates nationwide—like one extremist challenger aiming to unseat Senator Lindsey Graham in South Carolina. If Project 2025 loyalists gain even more ground in Congress, our democracy could be rewritten from the inside out (The Hill, 2025).
💊 Lives on the Line in the Opioid Crisis
We were finally making progress in fighting the opioid epidemic. Overdose deaths were starting to decline. Now Trump’s reckless rollback of treatment and prevention programs threatens to erase those hard-won gains. The New York Times warns that millions could be left without lifesaving support (NYT, 2025). We cannot let this crisis spiral again.
🗝️ Election Security Handed to a Big Lie Conspiracist
Heather Honey—who worked to overturn Trump’s 2020 loss—has been put in a top position overseeing U.S. election security. Yes, you read that right. A person who spread conspiracy theories about “stolen elections” is now being empowered to guard the ballot box (ProPublica, 2025). This is authoritarian capture in real time.
✊ NAACP Takes Texas to Court Over Racist Maps
The NAACP has sued Texas, charging that the state’s new congressional maps deliberately strip Black voters of political power. This is Jim Crow tactics in 2025, and it’s why we must fight for the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to restore protections for every voter (The Guardian, 2025).
🚨 Trump Says He Can “Do Anything I Want”
In Chicago, Trump threatened to deploy the National Guard against the will of local leaders—and bragged, “I have the right to do anything I want.” (New York Times, 2025). That’s not democracy. That’s dictatorship. We cannot normalize this.
Stop Project 2025 Harms 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.
