As I delve into the intricacies of Project 2025, a comprehensive policy initiative crafted by the Heritage Foundation, it becomes clear that this is more than just a set of recommendations – it's a blueprint for a radical transformation of the American government. This 900-page manifesto, designed to guide a potential conservative administration, outlines sweeping reforms that touch every facet of federal governance, from education and environmental policy to media regulation and disaster response.At its core, Project 2025 is about consolidating executive power and reshaping the federal government in a distinctly conservative image. One of the most striking aspects of this plan is its vision for education. The project advocates for the elimination of the Department of Education, transferring its responsibilities to the states and significantly reducing federal involvement in education policy. This includes ending federal funding for programs like Title I, which provides crucial support to schools in low-income areas, and dismantling the Head Start program that serves over a million children from low-income families[1][4][5].Roger Severino, a key figure associated with the project, has argued that Head Start does not provide value, though he has not provided evidence to support this claim. Instead, Project 2025 promotes school vouchers with no strings attached, even for private or religious schools, and cuts to funding for free school meals. This approach reflects a fundamental shift in how education is viewed – from a public good to a private one[1].The project's stance on education is just one part of a broader critique of what it terms "federal government overreach." In the realm of civil rights, Project 2025 proposes significant curtailments. It recommends ending federal investigations into schools for disparate impacts of disciplinary measures on the basis of race or ethnicity and transferring civil rights enforcement responsibilities from the Department of Education to the Department of Justice, where enforcement would be limited to litigation[1].This theme of reducing federal oversight extends to environmental policy as well. Project 2025 seeks to dismantle key components of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), including the Office of Environmental Justice and External Civil Rights. It advocates for reversing the EPA's 2009 finding that carbon dioxide emissions are harmful to human health, thereby preventing the federal government from regulating greenhouse gas emissions. The project also supports increased consumption of natural gas, despite concerns from climatologists about methane leaks, and aims to block the expansion of the national electrical grid and the transition to renewable energy[1].The project's climate policy is particularly contentious, with even some Republican climate advocates disagreeing with its stance. Benji Backer, founder of the American Conservation Coalition, has noted a growing consensus among younger Republicans that human activity causes climate change and has called Project 2025's approach "wrongheaded"[1].In addition to these policy proposals, Project 2025 also outlines a vision for media and technology policies. It suggests increasing agency accountability at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) while reducing what it deems "wasteful spending." The project promotes national security and economic prosperity through measures like expanding 5G connectivity and requiring Big Tech companies to contribute to the Universal Service Fund. However, critics argue that these recommendations could endanger democratic institutions and concentrate presidential power[2].The project's impact on disaster response is another area of concern. It proposes reforming the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) by shifting the majority of preparedness and response costs to states and localities. This includes ending preparedness grants for states and localities, a move that aligns with Trump's recent suggestions to leave disaster response management to the states[3].Project 2025 also delves into the realm of public health and social welfare. It advocates for withdrawing from the World Health Organization, a move Trump has already made and then reversed during his previous administration. The project criticizes the WHO's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and suggests that the U.S. should be prepared to take drastic measures against international organizations that act contrary to U.S. interests[3].The economic and social implications of these proposals are far-reaching. Project 2025 suggests cutting overtime protections for 4.3 million workers, limiting access to food assistance for over 40 million people, and restricting safety nets for farmers. It also proposes eliminating funding for key public transportation projects and consolidating or eliminating programs like the Economic Development Administration (EDA), which has invested billions in transformative infrastructure projects[5].Critics, including Democrats and some independent experts, have been vocal about the dangers of Project 2025. They argue that its recommendations could dismantle civil liberties, concentrate presidential power, and endanger democratic institutions. James Singer, a spokesperson for the Biden campaign, has likened the project to an attempt to make Trump a "tyrannical king" at the expense of American democracy[4].Despite Trump's public distancing from the project, there is significant overlap between his policies and those outlined in Project 2025. The Heritage Foundation emphasizes that while the project does not speak for any candidate, it is ultimately up to the president to decide which recommendations to implement. This ambiguity has led to a heated political debate, with Democrats using Project 2025 as a rallying cry against Trump's potential second term[4].As the 2025 presidential term approaches, Project 2025 stands as a pivotal document that could shape the future of American governance. Its proposals are not just policy recommendations but a vision for a fundamentally different role of the federal government in American life. Whether these changes will come to fruition remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: Project 2025 represents a seismic shift in the political landscape, one that will be closely watched and fiercely debated in the months to come.

In this episode, I'm with South London Producer, Jordan James. His sound has evolved tremendously, starting in grime and shifting into contemporary RnB. A sound I compare, on the episode, to 6lack but before his time. We talk about the evolution of his sound, the journey into music that he's had and the people he's collaborated with over the years. As a well-known producer, Jordan explains how this 'went to his head' and how his ego got put in check in the studio when him and Sam Smart (ep1) entered a studio with seasoned producers.

#plugintodevin Show - Devin Thorpe for Congress Guest: Isaac Nuttall. Issue: Making government more of, for, and by the people (i.e Campaign Finance Reform, Improving Voter Participation, etc.) I see many people at my school (Timpanogos), and community abroad, who are affected heavily by voter apathy, seeing no feasible way to improve politics at all level. This has led to depressingly low voter turnout levels for young people in my community, leading to one party holding a monopoly on state and local politics. I know that if young people, my friends, classmates, and neighbors were to engage in the political process, state and local politics would be far more reflective of their, as well as my, pressing issues. This issue of making government more of for and by the people, particularly among traditionally silent voting groups, is paramount above all other issues. I believe that we need extensive campaign finance reform to make our leaders more beholden to their constituents and less to wealthy donors. A solution I support is Seattle's method, in which we give every eligible voter $100 in public money to donate to whatever candidate they want; candidates who accept these donations agree not to accept any donations above $250. As for improving accessibility to voting and decreasing voter apathy, I support measures such as same-day registration, making Election Day a Federal Holiday, and Automatic Voter Registration. However, as long as they are fully accessible to all U.S Citizens, I am not neccessarily worried by Photo-ID Requirements. Bio: My name is Isaac Nuttall. I have lived in seven different places including India, Texas, Philadelphia, Utah, etc... I moved to Lindon Utah from Keller Texas two years ago, having gone to the National Finals of the National History Bee three years in a row, but my interests were rapidly shifting from history to politics, having been shocked along with the rest of the country by the election of Donald Trump. I have volunteered for a handful of political campaigns including Daniel Friend, Luz Escamilla, James Singer, etc... I now love politics and speech and debate, with my main events being Student Congress and Extemporaneous Speaking, which has opened a love within me for the many issues facing our country, and how we as Americans must recognize and work towards the common good. I am most passionate about how we can make politicians more beholden to their constituents and less to wealthy donors, improve access to voting and improve voter participation and in essence, make government more of for and by the people, the issue I hope to speak on in the podcast.

A college educator by training, Singer said he decided to run following the events of Standing Rock in 2016.

Among his policy priorities are public lands and social justice for indigenous tribes.
James Singer is a self-identified "indigenous environmental democratic socialist" running for Congress in Utah's 3rd district to "bring back the welfare state."
