In just a few months, the Trump administration has implemented more than 40% of the goals of Project 2025, according to this Project 2025 tracker.
But Russell Vought, the White House’s point man on Project 2025, wants you to disbelieve what you see.
To hear the director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) say it, there’s no coordination between the White House and the authors of that anti-worker agenda. As Vought put it to CNN over the weekend: “No, of course not!”
Yeah. We believe you, Russ.
Vought is one of the principal authors of Project 2025.
As head of OMB, his job is to execute Donald Trump’s cruel plans for the way the federal government should operate.
Vought’s own vision for mass federal layoffs and firings is becoming real as Elon Musk’s cronies at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency goes on a reckless downsizing spree.
But Vought wants you to believe all this fake news. That it’s just a coincidence that so much of Project 2025 has already been put in place.
Remember how Trump denied even knowing about Project 2025 during his campaign for president? Trump is a honest guy, isn’t he?
Seriously, though, AFSCME members cannot ignore what’s happening right in front of us. Because, as we warned last summer, Project 2025 calls for eliminating public service unions like AFSCME.
Trump and his allies have plenty of time left to implement the rest of their blueprint, which is a list of all the ways to harm working families, shred public services and destroy labor unions.
We must fight back. Through our Get Organized campaign, AFSCME members are taking action to protect public services and the well-being of our communities.
Join the fight. It’s time to GO!
