Here begins my #Project2025 thread.
I will be posting a department a day with the bullet points I have from my research. This will take several days. I can't do it all in one sitting. It takes a lot out of me. And I recommend not reading the entire thread in one go, anyway.

This is the first post to ever bump off my long-pinned post (almost 5 yrs) Link: youtu.be/xgehQnJYYtk?...
…which sadly turned out to be a fitting prologue to what lies ahead in this new pinned post.
Do take this slow. Perhaps with a small shot of something fortifying. 🥃 🫖

USDA directive to “undo” SNAP payments is _stayed_ for now (so, SNAP payments will not be revoked at this time).

WHAT HAPPENED?
In the multistate SNAP case, Judge Talwani will:
- keep USDA's 11/8 order that states "undo" full payments or face penalties stayed for now
- issue a TRO mirroring the RI case TRO to protect states directly
- likely address an error states say USDA made in its partial payment tables

From the party that said they were working on a facade and tore down a third of the White House.
Whoa -- Sen. Durbin went to up Leader Thune during the vote last night to tell him that on the shutdown vote and ACA promise that "8 of us are sticking our neck out that you're going to keep your word. I hope you will. He said 'I assure you I will,'" Durbin says just now

News coverage of this has focused on the pardon of those involved in the fake electors plot.
But the pardon also extends to key figures who participated in the unauthorized breach of voting systems in Coffee County, Georgia

How Trump celebrates the coming Veterans Day observance:
In addition to military/overseas voters, young people and non-white people tend to vote later, and thus are more vulnerable to bans on counting late-arriving ballots. That is why Trump wants this change, and why plenty of red states have lately rushed to do his bidding: boltsmag.org/restrictions...

The Trump “Justice” Dept. wants free rein to pummel as many protestors as possible.
DOJ is actively in court trying to make that happen, despite a district judge’s order saying um, NO, you cannot do that.

With a “WOW!,” President Trump posts a claim about DOGE and “royalties linked to Obamacare” that originated on a satirical website. That site’s own About section reads: “Everything on this website is fiction… If you believe that it is real, you should have your head examined.”
