It is our opinion, many of our opinions, that Trump, for his own purposes, has now joined forces with individuals who have offered Project 2025 as a means to an end for each one of their own desires.
Let's be absolutely clear. Project 2025 is not about reform; it's about control.
That's why we have a separation of church and State, so that we can all worship our God as we wish.
I think the reason that the Democratic Members have been bringing up Project 2025 and President Trump is because it presents a global threat, a true weaponization of offices and of a position against the American people as a whole.
We cannot allow Trump's dangerous agenda to strip away our rights and leave millions more vulnerable than ever.
Project 2025 is an existential threat to our Nation's core values and safety.
We cannot drop the ball when we see an individual or a group of individuals who have power trying to take that control.
Because, yes, in Project 2025, it allows the President to direct the active military to come to the streets of the United States against those that he deems as political rivals.

The Project 2025 playbook is a plan to give Donald Trump the powers of a dictator just as he wants.
It is a clear weaponization plan by its authors against the American people, should Donald Trump become President again.
I stand before you today to honor one of the Virgin Islands' very own, the recently departed, Pam Richards. A dedicated public servant, Pam's unwavering service to the Virgin Islands and tireless efforts to enhance our culture and heritage…
to test out conspiracy theories, prop up those stories that the far right wishes to push into the American psyche.
In 46 days, Americans will go to the polls for one of the most consequential elections of our lifetimes.
By my Republican counterparts causing people to bully social media companies, they want to allow any and all foreign adversaries to dump lies and misinformation on social media.
I would ask that the statements regarding the conflict of interest related to Mr. Goldman be stricken down from the record.
This is about them intimidating social media companies to stop engaging in reviewing and moderating content before the 2024 election.
I thank the gentlewoman from Florida for anchoring this time. Mr. Speaker, I am proud that we have gathered here this evening to celebrate the life and legacy of our dear friend and colleague, Congressman Donald Payne, Jr. When I came to…
Today I rise to speak about the need for congressional support for energy stability in offshore, isolated and underserved areas. In the Virgin Islands, we are acutely aware of the impacts of climate change, including the increasing…
