“Earlier this year I founded the Congressional Task Force to Stop Project 2025. Some people might be curious as to why I did that. I have served in Congress for almost 12 years, and throughout that period, I have seen a lot of wild and extreme antics from across the aisle. I have seen some of my colleagues try to chip away at our civil rights and roll back decades of progress. I have seen the chaos and the division that Donald Trump has infused into our politics, including violent rhetoric and extreme policies that are completely beyond the pale of anything that has ever tried to pass for conservatism. However, in this entire time, I have never seen anything that compares to the threat to our democracy, to our individual rights, and to the well-being of most Americans, the threat that is posed by Trump's Project 2025. {time} 1915 I encourage people to look it up and to read it because anyone who familiarizes themself with Trump's Project 2025 can see for themselves what an unprecedented takeover plan this is, to gut critical checks and balances that hold our democracy together, to roll back fundamental rights, to erode church-state separation, impose draconian policies that are deeply unpopular with most Americans, all so that MAGA politicians can take unprecedented governmental control over the lives of every person who calls America home.…”
