Transition officials have used Project 2025's extensive personnel database to identify potential hires for the incoming administration, a person familiar with the plans said.

Summary

Despite disavowing Project 2025 during the campaign, Trump’s transition team is now using its extensive database of vetted conservative candidates to help fill over 4,000 government positions.

Project 2025, criticized for its extreme policy proposals and links to Trump’s first administration, created a “conservative LinkedIn” of 10,000 candidates.

While some contributors are being tapped for key roles, others face rejection due to controversial stances.

Democrats, who used Project 2025 in campaign attacks, are warning of its influence on Trump’s agenda and planning policy responses.

    You know what’s just as productive as blaming voters? Masturbating into a Kleenex. Unless you have a plan to nominate better voters next cycle (yes, if there is one) then your attention is better spent on how we fix a Democratic party that’s so pathetic that it lost to Trump twice.

    If Rahm Emanuel or another establishment clone is the next DNC chair, get ready to see this happen again. That’s where the focus belongs for anyone who wants to fix this shit.

      Voters saw Trump fuck up four years straight. He’s not wrong about that.

      But voters have seen the Democratic Party slowly devolve into a cesspool of corrupt crony capitalism and campaign donor money for the past 50 years.

      People don’t give a fuck anymore, and I don’t blame them,

      Harris was a trash candidate.

      I get it, blah blah blah, Trump is worse.

      Harris is a trash candidate.

      Just because Whoopi Goldberg and friends try to tell you what a good friend she is doesn’t change this fact. I hope you realize all the talk and news show hosts are in the millionaire class and are so far removed from the realities of everyday Americans… they also get the tax cuts for the wealthy Trump is going to pass, which is why they have no skin in the game.

      Harris was a trash candidate. If you can’t see this simple fact, there’s probably less hope for you than for maga.

      Americans are struggling.

      You know what the democrats did? They tried to tell us that Biden is fucking FDR 2.0

      The juicy turd I just dropped flushed down the toilet while typing this is closer to FDR 2.0 than Biden will ever be, by a long shot.
