Project 2025 is a nearly 1000-page step-by-step playbook that would turn America into an authoritarian nightmare and shred our freedoms.

Trump can try to distance himself from it but it was put together by more than 20 officials he appointed in his first term.

Don't be fooled.

@rbreich Project 2025 empowers Trump, but what it really does is give unwarranted authority to unelected people who see a demi-dictatorship--run by them--in the future. They know Trump is not hand's on, so long as he can play at being king and can enrich himself.

So let me get this straight: The so-called "originalists" on the Supreme Court have essentially given the U.S. president the power of monarchs. Just days before the 4th of July, mind you. The hypocrisy is staggering.

@rbreich The "Originalists" haven't given everything to the President-they've reserved a little oversight for themselves to keep tabs on any Democratic President. But for Trump--anything goes.
