I told someone this morning all of this work is straight out of Project 2025, without even knowing about this story. Glad I’m not crazy.
“This is exactly the work we set out to do,” Paul Dans, who oversaw Project 2025 at the conservative Heritage Foundation, told CNN.
Every journalist that ran with Trump's denials about Project 2025, that indulged them, that pretended it was a liberal conspiracy.... should hang their heads in shame.

Trump said he hadn’t read Project 2025 – but most of his early executive orders overlap with its proposals | CNN Politics
A CNN analysis of Trump’s first week in office found that two-thirds of his early executive orders and actions appear closely aligned with Project 2025’s plans.
