Inside Project 2025: Heritage Foundation’s Blueprint Reshapes U.S. Government and Fills Key Trump Cabinet Posts

Project 2025, a sweeping initiative led by the Heritage Foundation, aims to overhaul the federal government with loyal appointees and ultra-conservative policies. Discover the key architects, their most controversial proposals, and how major authors are now leading powerful agencies in Trump’s administration.

 Project 2025, a vast conservative blueprint to reshape U.S. governance, has come to define much of the current policy direction in Washington as of September 2025. Spearheaded by the Heritage Foundation, the initiative draws together more than 100 conservative groups and former Trump officials in the pursuit of sweeping federal overhaul.

Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation, assumed leadership of Project 2025 after Paul Dans, its founding director and former federal official, stepped down in August 2024. Paul Dans was instrumental in laying the project’s groundwork, while Russell Vought—now serving as Office of Management and Budget (OMB) director—became the project’s chief architect and most influential author. Other central figures include Roger Severino (Heritage Foundation, domestic policy), Spencer Chretien (implementation strategy), and major chapter authors such as Peter Navarro, John Ratcliffe, Ben Carson, and Ken Cuccinelli.

Among the initiative’s most controversial proposals is a call to dismantle large segments of the federal bureaucracy, replacing career civil servants with loyal political appointees and dramatically expanding presidential authority. The plan also advocates for abolishing agencies like the Department of Education, rolling back environmental policies, and pursuing the “unitary executive theory,” which critics argue could erode vital checks and balances. Project 2025’s social policy agenda includes removing access to the abortion pill mifepristone and embedding overtly “Judeo-Christian” values in law, as well as enacting harsh immigration enforcement and slashing regulatory powers.

The impact of Project 2025 is underscored by the number of its authors now in power. Russell Vought, as OMB director, was confirmed by the Senate as the Trump administration swiftly filled posts with core project architects. John Ratcliffe, principal author on intelligence, became CIA director; Brendan Carr, responsible for the communications chapter, was named FCC chair; and Tom Homan, principal drafter on immigration, now heads border security. These appointments, alongside dozens of other Project 2025 contributors, reveal how the project’s most direct influencers—not just minor contributors—were elevated to crucial cabinet and agency roles.

With its bold agenda and cadre of loyalists in power, Project 2025 remains at the center of ongoing public debate over the future direction of the U.S. government.

With new tariffs driving up consumer prices and tax policies favoring the wealthy, the United States is experiencing a widening divide between the “haves” and “have-nots.” Are these the seeds of revolution, or simply the latest chapter in the country’s long history of economic cycles? Tariffs and Consumer Prices: The New Tax on Households President Trump’s renewed tariffs in 2025 have quickly made their presence felt in American wallets. According to the Yale Budget Lab , the average U.S. household is experiencing an effective income loss of around $2,000 in 2025 due to the...

CARBON CAPTURE & STORAGE (CCS)

Image
 Climate change remains a defining challenge of our time, and mitigating its effects requires innovative technology and considerable effort. Carbon capture and storage appears as a promising means to reduce greenhouse gas emissions significantly. Let's look at the overall function and potential of carbon capture technology, along with introducing two landmark projects that are set as new milestones in this crucial field. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), as the name suggests, is a technology that seizes carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from industrial and power generation processes. This method prevents emissions from entering the atmosphere, thus contributing to the fight against climate change. Once captured, the CO2 can either be permanently sequestered underground in geological formations such as depleted oil and gas reservoirs, saline formations and/or unmineable coal seams. Also there is the option of converting CO2 into a range of products such as methanol, which could fu...

SOME KEY ASPECTS OF TRUMP’s BIG BILL

Explore the downsides of Trump’s Big Bill: Medicaid & food aid cuts, rising deficits, & tax breaks favoring the rich. Learn how it impacts you! The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates the bill will add approximately $3.3 trillion to the federal deficit over the next decade, with some analyses suggesting up to $3.9 trillion   The legislation includes cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) by introducing stricter eligibility and work requirements, potentially reducing access to food assistance for millions of low-income Americans.   According to the CBO, the wealthiest 10% of households would see a 2.3% increase in after-tax income, while the poorest 10% could face a 3.9% decrease due to reduced benefits from programs like Medicaid and SNAP. This makes the bill one of the most regressive pieces of legislation in decades, exacerbating income inequality   A provision in the bill conditions federal broadband funding on states refra...
