Story

In a recent address, the former president expressed his concerns regarding Project 2025, a conservative initiative linked to at least 140 former officials from his administration. He described the project as being driven by a faction of the far-right, emphasizing its controversial recommendations for the next conservative president. The extensive 900-page document advocates for policies that would significantly reshape public education and family structures, including restrictions on how students are addressed in schools and a push for traditional family values. Among the project's proposals is a call to eliminate federal funding for Planned Parenthood and to empower states to defund the organization in their Medicaid plans. The document also outlines a hardline stance on immigration, suggesting that education loans should be denied to non-citizens and those attending schools that offer in-state tuition to undocumented immigrants. Additionally, it argues against the inclusion of transgender individuals in military service and seeks to end public funding for related medical procedures. On the international front, Project 2025 aims to revoke China's developing nation status in global partnerships and calls for increased transparency in government operations. The initiative demands visitor logs for presidential residences, criticizing President Biden for his time spent at his Delaware home, which they claim obscures public knowledge of governmental influences. Furthermore, it proposes expanding political appointments within the Department of State, bypassing the need for Senate confirmation to enhance management efficiency.
