Project 2025: A Blueprint for Restricting Civil Liberties?
The Heritage Foundation, a prominent conservative think tank known for shaping Republican policy, has unveiled “Project 2025,” an ambitious playbook designed to guide the first 180 days of a future GOP-led administration.

It emphasizes consolidating executive power, scaling back regulatory oversight, and undoing perceived liberal initiatives of past administrations.
