Madam Speaker, in recent months there has been a lot of rhetoric around Project 2025, but many Americans still don't understand its very dangerous implications. Donald Trump's Project 2025 is a well- funded Presidential transition plan which would empower a future antidemocratic Presidential administration to carry out an extreme power agenda. Therefore, if enacted, Project 2025 would eliminate the Department of Education and eliminate the Head Start education program which serves 1 million children and further expose 386,000 children in foster care to risk of increased discrimination. If Republicans impose Trump's Project 2025, they will criminalize abortion nationwide and create a national monitor to track women's pregnancies and miscarriages. They are even threatening to imprison doctors and nurses who provide necessary care. Project 2025 is a strategic plan to cut overtime protections for 4.3 million workers. ____________________
