Remember when Trump said he had nothing to do with Project 2025? Remember when his campaign said it was just some think tank wish list that had nothing to do with his administration?
They lied.
Project 2025 is 53% complete. That’s not speculation. That’s tracking from the Center for Progressive Reform monitoring every action Trump’s administration has taken against the 532 specific policy goals laid out in the Heritage Foundation’s blueprint.
283 actions completed. Out of 532. More than half.
They’re systematically working through the entire document. Dismantling agencies. Firing career civil servants. Stacking courts. Gutting regulations. Consolidating executive power. Every promise in that 900-page manifesto is being implemented piece by piece while they tell you it’s not happening.
You want specifics? Let’s talk specifics.
Project 2025 called for eliminating the Department of Education. Trump’s already moved to gut its funding and transfer its functions. Check.
Project 2025 wanted stricter abortion restrictions nationwide. Trump’s DOJ is enforcing the Comstock Act to block abortion pill distribution. Check.
Project 2025 demanded mass deportations and militarized immigration enforcement. Trump declared a national emergency and deployed active military to the border. Check.
Project 2025 wanted Schedule F reinstituted to fire federal workers and replace them with loyalists. Trump signed that executive order his first week back. Check.
Project 2025 called for withdrawing from international climate agreements. Trump pulled out of 66 of them in one day. Check.
This isn’t coincidence. This is the playbook. And they’re executing it faster than anyone predicted.
The scary part? These are the easy ones. The policies Trump can implement through executive action or regulatory changes. The really destructive stuff—gutting Social Security, eliminating Medicare, rewriting labor laws, crushing LGBTQ rights—requires Congress. And with Republicans controlling both chambers, those are coming.
Project 2025 wants to raise the retirement age to 70. It wants to privatize Medicare. It wants to eliminate overtime pay protections. It wants to ban birth control coverage. It wants to criminalize pornography and arrest librarians. All of that is in there. All of that is being worked toward.
And Trump’s still pretending he doesn’t know what it is.
This is the con. Deny the plan exists while implementing it. Tell voters you’re not doing the thing you’re actively doing. Lie straight to their faces while checking items off the list behind closed doors.
The Heritage Foundation isn’t hiding it. They’re celebrating. They’re publishing progress reports. They’re bragging about how much they’ve accomplished. They know most Americans aren’t paying attention to the details. They’re counting on you not noticing until it’s too late to stop.
283 actions. That’s 283 ways your rights have been reduced, your protections eliminated, your government weaponized against you. And there are 249 more items on that list they’re working through right now.
This isn’t theoretical anymore. This isn’t some future threat. This is happening. Today. While you’re reading this.
Project 2025 was the blueprint. Trump’s administration is the construction crew. And they’re more than halfway done building an authoritarian government that serves Christian nationalists and billionaires instead of you.
Still think it’s just a conspiracy theory?
