Transition officials have used Project 2025's extensive personnel database to identify potential hires for the incoming administration, a person familiar with the plans said.

Summary

Despite disavowing Project 2025 during the campaign, Trump’s transition team is now using its extensive database of vetted conservative candidates to help fill over 4,000 government positions.

Project 2025, criticized for its extreme policy proposals and links to Trump’s first administration, created a “conservative LinkedIn” of 10,000 candidates.

While some contributors are being tapped for key roles, others face rejection due to controversial stances.

Democrats, who used Project 2025 in campaign attacks, are warning of its influence on Trump’s agenda and planning policy responses.

    The dominant forces in the Democratic party are more likely to abandon trans people than to shift left.

    A big part of the problem is that Democrat supporters are overwhelmingly politically inactive. Instead of shushing anti-genocide voices, climate protestors, etc. they should be joining and amplifying those voices not just around election time but always, constantly.

    The DNC will always fast-track a centrist candidate and suppress progressive candidates if there’s no political pressure outside of election time. They get their money from the same people that the Republicans do.

    “Vote blue no matter who” and voting as the only political action guarantee the ratchet effect.
