The Heritage Foundation, the conservative think tank behind Project 2025, is reemerging with a campaign to back President-elect Donald Trump's imperiled Cabinet selections.

Summary

The think tank behind Project 2025, the conservative blueprint linked to President-elect Donald Trump, is launching an effort to back Trump’s imperiled selection for secretary of defense in its latest attempt to wield influence in the incoming Republican administration.

Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts said Thursday that his group will spend $1 million to pressure senators unwilling to back Pete Hegseth, whose nomination to lead the Pentagon has come into question due to his views on women serving in combat and reports about his personal behavior. A number of Republican senators have declined to commit to backing Hegseth or have asked for more information about his drinking and treatment of women.

    I love that some “architect” of a doc, thanks to a difference of 1.6% in voting, gets to ignore millions and millions of Americans in carrying out their plans written up in this doc.

    Also, I love that our pathetic “liberal media” bothsidered this all along, acting like Project 2025 was a GD conspiracy theory or something, when it was a published document and had “JD” “Vance” writing the forward to it…I despise the smug little “objective” outlets nearly as much as the magabrained assholes that are working so hard to destroy this country - these Enlightened Centrists are paving the way.
