If you’ve been hearing a lot this election season about something called Project 2025, there’s good reason. It’s a 922-page policy blueprint from the far-right Heritage Foundation that its authors hope will serve as a lengthy “to do” list for a new Republican presidential administration.

And in a host of vitally important areas – from education to the environment to reproductive freedom to the very future of democracy – it’s a frightening scheme to behold. Several weeks back I got a chance to discuss Project 2025 with the senior adviser for Communications at the Washington, DC-based Center for American Progress, Colin Seeberger.

In Part One of our chat, we examined how Project 2025 would alter and threaten basic and long-established norms of American democracy.

In Part Two, we examined some of the many dramatic changes that Project 2025 would inflict on an array of core rights and public services – including K-12 education, the social safety net, reproductive freedom, and the nation’s response to the global climate emergency.
