Why is Everyone Talking About Project 2025 & Should You Be Worried? How Dangerous Is It? What Does it Mean for America? Is Project 2025 Trump’s agenda? No matter which side of the political aisle you're on, America is being reshaped, and it’s important to be aware of these big changes that will impact so many of us. As Trump's first 100 days in office for a second term comes to a close, we’re breaking down Project 2025 - what it is, who’s really behind it, how it’s already restructuring society, what else is to come, the global implications, and why we need to start finally taking it seriously. David A. Graham (political & national affair staff writer at The Atlantic, author of The Project: How Project 2025 Is Reshaping America) gives his political analysis of the hidden dangers of Project 2025 — from mass federal layoffs and the erasure of environmental protections to the terrifying push for Christian-only values and a government that could soon look unrecognizable. With whispers of invading Canada, reclaiming the Panama Canal, and rewriting democracy itself, Graham dives deep into how this political earthquake could dismantle the U.S. system as we know it — and why now, more than ever, we need to wake up, speak out, and fight for what’s left of due process, education, and basic rights.
