From the horse’s mouth.
Those of us who have been spreading the alarm about Project 2025 have been accused of being “fearmongers”.
Well, listen to one of the architects of it.
Once again…..
2024 is about Democracy vs. Fascism.

IT’S FASCISM WITH A CAPITAL F

Sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants. Let’s see what 14 minutes of speaking with the President of the Heritage Foundation looks like, shall we?
In a word: yikes.But here’s the thing the Kevin Robertses of the world don’t understand. The vast majority of Americans live outside the conservative bubble. While Roberts would like nothing better than to inject his own personal beliefs into the lives of 340 million Americans, that’s not how it works in this country. Heritage can lay out this blueprint for the likes of Donald Trump, Steve Bannon, and Stephen Miller to squee over but for it to become law they need 270 electoral votes. And to get 270 electoral votes you need to capture not only your own base but independents as well. Go too far right or left and you’ve lost them. But staying the course with a generally centrist view of governing and there’s no reason you can’t win their vote.
Project 2025 is so ridiculously hard right that it would make the ghost of Hitler blush.
Replacing 50,000 nonpartisan employees with Trump loyalists. Refusing to acknowledge the results of a free and fair election. Mass deportations for all 11 million undocumented immigrants. A nationwide abortion ban. This is basically a laundry list of everything that the Far Right has wanted to accomplish since Ronald Reagan’s presidency. The only difference is that now with control of the Supreme Court, Republicans feel that they are closer than ever to enacting these policies. Win in 2024 and they get to reshape the American government in the Christofascist haven they’ve wanted for the past half century

Another tell that Judge Cannon is unfit: her refusal to have the assigned Magistrate Judge, who is far more experienced than she, handle any pretrial motions. Why wd she refuse to take this routine step? 1-It would move the case along (ie she does not want it to go to trial before the election) 2-The Magistrate judge would rule impartially and she we then have to overrule him and wd look that much worse

The Department of Justice will be appealing both decisions to block key provisions of our SAVE Plan. We will never stop fighting to lower monthly payments and help borrowers get out from under the burden of student debt – no matter how many times Republican elected officials try to stop us.
