Project 2025 has landed in the Oval Office.

The 922-page policy manifesto described as a "playbook of actions" for a new conservative administration crafted by more than 140 veterans of Donald Trump's White House, many of whom returned this week, is aligned with many of Trump’s more than 30 first-week executive orders, despite his campaign trail condemnations.

Trump has already tapped Project 2025 authors and contributors Russ Vought to lead the Office of Management and Budget, Brendan Carr to chair the FCC, the agency he authored a chapter of plans for inside Project 2025, and Tom Homan as ‘border czar,’ along with numerous other Heritage Foundation alumni.

Many of Project 2025’s answers for border security mirror Trump’s first-day orders on immigration, too.

1. The staff has to have more than "the concept of a plan"

Project 2025 is already in a PDF, cut 'n paste into the 1st draft markup. MAGA is a refuge of idiot plagiarists, but they need more "Cliff's Notes for Democracy", less "Fascism for Idiots".
