House Democrats have adopted an aggressive strategy of linking Project 2025 to House Republicans in the final stretch of this year’s campaign, hoping the controversial conservative document will help them flip control of the lower chamber in November’s elections.

The Democrats are invoking Project 2025 at every turn — in leadership press conferences, chamber-floor debates, public committee hearings and private hallway conversations — warning that Republicans in Congress are already pulling pages from the right-wing policy paper and will return to the same playbook again next year if voters keep the GOP in control of the House. “They’re on the road to trying to make these things a reality,” Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.) said. Democrats are also taking their message on the road.

In closed-door strategy sessions on Capitol Hill, they’ve hosted outside experts to brief lawmakers on the various policies contained in Project 2025. The coaching campaign is designed to help Democrats navigate the lengthy document — which runs for roughly 900 pages — and educate members about its more controversial components. The aim is for lawmakers to then relay that information to voters when they return home for town halls and other district events.

“There are members that want to know about particular areas. So, for me, in the Latina community, education’s huge. So tell me where I can find education stuff. And then they’ll help you, educate you, on what the toplines are directly from the plan,” said Rep. Nanette Díaz Barragán (D-Calif.), head of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.

1. Project 2025 is like a buffet to republicans.

It’s a buffet of I already support and like this. But I’ll take a helping of that also.

2. Are we late to the party? I mean advertisements

This seems 2nd best

11. It seems that massive amounts of ads - including about Project 2025 -

have been directed to "swing states" and I am not sure what is happening in other states since I'm in a swing state (although obviously South Jersey and Delaware are part of Philly's market so they see the ads too).

3. About time ..project 2025 should be the death of maga republican party

Something new will have to rise from its ashes like the Republicans replacing the Whigs.

Every policy in the noon goes against what the majority of people want.

5. Majority rule is what they hate, it obstructs their schemes and cramps their style.

Majority rule (some call it democracy) is beautifully adaptive despite its inflexibility.

4. I have been taking a topic a week and sending to my local newspaper as a letter to the editor

I live in a rural farming community … this week’s letter was about farming …

Next week will be military…

12. What a great idea! I'm impressed that it gets printed

In a rural area, so kudos to your paper for printing it. Hopefully it helps educate a few who can be persuaded 😊

6. Every time a repug or RW media mentions a Democrat

They always attach "RADICAL" in front of names, now we have a millstone to hang around their necks. Us
voters need to follow suit talking to others, and let's make sure it sounds EVIL because it is.

7. Absolutely. Repeat it loud and often, to the point it becomes synonymous with Republican.

Republican? The average person's first thought should be theocratic asshole who wants to destroy our freedom. Make it automatic. All is fair in the existential fight for democracy.

10. Right ... and now they're saying "COMMUNIST" too

It's all so ridiculous the way they try to label us, because they can't be truthful and label us "MINORITIES."

The Repukes found out they could never win the "minority" vote, and they gave up trying long ago. Ironically the Democratic Party has the big tent philosophy which includes all the minorities, and that's what makes us the majority.

8. Hopefully, the remnants of project 2025 will stick in collective Republican craw for a long time to come.
