Professor Kim Scheppele has spent much of her career watching democracies rise and fall. She went to Hungary in the early 1990s expecting to study democratic optimism after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Instead, decades later, she found herself documenting how constitutional democracy can be dismantled from the inside out.That experience frames a wide-ranging conversation on the latest episode of Stanford Legal, where host Professor Pam Karlan speaks with Scheppele, the Lawrence S. Rockefeller Professor of Sociology and International Affairs at Princeton and a visiting professor at Stanford Law School, about how democracies crumble, and why the United States is not exempt.Drawing on years of on-the-ground research in Hungary, Russia, and other countries, Scheppele explains a central shift in democratic collapse: it no longer arrives through overt rupture, but through elections followed by legal and constitutional maneuvering. Leaders campaign as democrats, win office, and then use technical changes to the law, including court rules, budgetary controls, and civil-service structures, to weaken checks and rig the system in their favor.The discussion turns to the United States, examining how party polarization, shifting institutional loyalties, and expanding claims of executive power have made familiar safeguards less reliable than many assumed.Links:Kim Scheppele >>> Stanford Law pageConnect:Episode Transcripts >>> Stanford Legal Podcast WebsiteStanford Legal Podcast >>> LinkedIn PageRich Ford >>>  Twitter/XPam Karlan >>> Stanford Law School PageDiego Zambrano >>> Stanford Law School PageStanford Law School >>> Twitter/XStanford Lawyer Magazine >>> Twitter/X (00:00:00)  Learning in Wartime: A scholar's antidote to the “cataract of nonsense”(00:08:17) Patterns abroad and at home—are U.S. checks in danger?(00:15:04) Naming the playbook(00:32:07) More litigation—access, risk, and the pace of change(00:32:39) Restoring democracy through law Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Part 1 of 2:  

Imagine a blueprint for remaking America's government from the ground up, drawn by conservative architects at the Heritage Foundation. That's Project 2025, launched in April 2023 as the 2025 Presidential Transition Project. Its 900-page Mandate for Leadership outlines a sweeping overhaul, aiming to dismantle what it calls the bloated administrative state and consolidate power in the president's hands.At its core, the plan pushes unitary executive theory, placing agencies like the Department of Justice and FBI under direct White House control. According to the Heritage Foundation's document, the DOJ has become a “bloated bureaucracy... infatuated with a radical liberal agenda,” so it must be reformed with the FBI director accountable to the president. The blueprint calls for reclassifying tens of thousands of civil servants under Schedule F, stripping protections to install loyalists—a database targeting 20,000 by late 2024, per Heritage reports.Concrete changes target key agencies. It proposes abolishing the Department of Education, shifting programs like the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act to Health and Human Services, and curbing federal civil rights enforcement in schools to prioritize “student safety” over racial parity in discipline. The Department of Homeland Security would vanish, replaced by a lean immigration agency merging Customs and Border Protection with ICE. Environmental rules would shrink, Medicare and Medicaid face funding caps and work requirements, and the FTC—guardian of antitrust—would be gutted.Latest developments show momentum: President Trump's February 2025 Executive Order on the Department of Government Efficiency, as detailed in OPM guidance, mandates agency reorganization plans by March and April, with large-scale reductions in force to cut waste and FTE positions.Experts warn of risks. The ACLU describes it as a “radical restructuring” threatening reproductive, LGBTQ, and immigrant rights. Labor groups like NFFE decry Schedule F as enabling “political corruption,” while AFGE fears up to a million federal jobs lost.This ambitious vision connects family-centric values to border security and economic revival, but critics see authoritarian overreach. As Phase 2 plans roll out by September 2025, the real test looms: Will Congress curb these executive moves?Thanks for tuning in, listeners—come back next week for more.Some great Deals https://amzn.to/49SJ3QsFor more check out http://www.quietplease.aiThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Imagine a blueprint for remaking America's government from the ground up, drawn by conservative architects at the Heritage Foundation. That's Project 2025, a 900-page manifesto called *Mandate for Leadership*, released in April 2023, aiming to consolidate power in the presidency and purge what its authors see as a bloated administrative state, according to the Heritage Foundation's own documentation.Fast forward to today: with Donald Trump back in the White House since January 20, 2025, elements of this vision are unfolding at breakneck speed. The Department of Government Efficiency, led by Elon Musk—known as DOGE—has fired tens of thousands of federal workers, targeting diversity offices and entire agencies like USAID and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, as reported by Government Executive. Courts have reinstated some employees, but the push rolls on, echoing Project 2025's call to reinstate Schedule F, stripping civil service protections to install loyalists, per the National Federation of Federal Employees.Key proposals cut deep. The plan urges dismantling the Department of Education, shifting programs like those for disabled students to Health and Human Services, and empowering states with school choice to combat “woke propaganda,” the document states. It seeks to abolish the Department of Homeland Security, merging immigration functions into a new agency, while slashing Medicaid through funding caps and work requirements. The DOJ and FBI would answer directly to the president under unitary executive theory, curbing their independence to fight what the blueprint calls a “radical liberal agenda.”Experts warn of risks. The ACLU describes it as a “radical restructuring” threatening rights, while unions like AFGE decry potential loss of up to a million jobs and weakened services for veterans and rural communities. Yet proponents, per Heritage, promise efficiency: merging economic bureaus and boosting nuclear innovation.This ambition connects the dots from tax cuts—a flat income tax and corporate reductions—to militarized borders, illustrating a total overhaul. As DOGE deadlines loom, like agency RIF plans due April 14, battles in courts and Congress will decide its fate.Looking ahead, upcoming Supreme Court rulings and midterms could cement or derail these changes.

Happy Holidays, enjoy this throwback episode!

Throughout the 2024 election, we all heard about the dangers of Project 2025, yet somehow it's worse than we imagined. Trump continuously said he didn't know anything about it (but he did), and nearly a year after his swearing in, we've seen a huge portion of it already implemented. We're joined by The Atlantic's David A. Graham, author of the new book, “The Project: How Project 2025 is Shaping America.” In just 138 pages, David covers the entire 920-page document. He explains how many of the authors of Project 2025 saw Trump's first term as a failure because he was stopped from accomplishing his core goals - like building the border wall and repealing Obamacare. The answer was to create a shadow administration that would guide his policy decisions if he made it back to office. We run through a variety of issues that are being influenced by Project 2025, including immigration and border security, education, and trade. And we discuss the most influential figure, Russell Vought, current Director of the Office of Management and Budget. One of his main priorities? Inflict pain on government employees. Plus, Al remembers his friends, Rob and Michele Reiner.

Imagine a blueprint so ambitious it aims to remake the entire U.S. government in 180 days, placing the executive branch firmly under presidential control. That's Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation's 900-page Mandate for Leadership, published in April 2023, which outlines radical reforms for a conservative administration.At its core, the plan pushes the unitary executive theory, seeking to dismantle agency independence. According to the Heritage Foundation's document, it calls for replacing federal civil service workers with loyalists via Schedule F, a policy to strip protections from up to a million employees. The Department of Justice and FBI would answer directly to the White House, with the FBI director personally accountable to the president. Wikipedia details how it brands the DOJ a "bloated bureaucracy" pushing a "radical liberal agenda," proposing reforms to combat "anti-white racism" under the Civil Rights Act of 1964.Concrete examples abound. Project 2025 urges abolishing the Department of Education, Department of Homeland Security—replacing it with a streamlined immigration agency—and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The National Labor Relations Board would shrink, making union organizing harder by eliminating card-check elections, as noted in the National Federation of Federal Employees' analysis. On health, it proposes Medicaid cuts like per-capita caps, stricter work requirements, and voucher options, while defunding NIH stem cell research. Tax reforms include corporate cuts and a flat individual income tax.Latest developments, as reported by Government Executive in April 2025, show execution accelerating under President Trump's Department of Government Efficiency, led by Elon Musk. Entire agencies like USAID face elimination, with tens of thousands fired—though courts have reinstated some, like Consumer Financial Protection Bureau staff. Health and Human Services plans 20,000 cuts, 25% of its workforce. Jenny Mattingley of the Partnership for Public Service warns this politicizes a traditionally nonpartisan civil service, undercutting services for rural areas and seniors.Experts like the ACLU highlight risks to reproductive, LGBTQ, and immigrant rights, while proponents argue it streamlines efficiency. The plan's scope—from fossil fuel favoritism to military aid in immigration enforcement—signals a governance overhaul.Looking ahead, key decision points loom: congressional battles over agency eliminations and Supreme Court challenges to workforce purges. As implementation unfolds, its full impact on American democracy remains a pivotal watchpoint.Thank you for tuning in, listeners.

Project 2025 began quietly, as a 900-page manual from the conservative Heritage Foundation called Mandate for Leadership. According to Heritage, its goal is to prepare “the next conservative president” to remake the federal government from day one, with a pre-vetted army of appointees and draft executive orders ready to sign.At its core is a simple but sweeping idea: place almost the entire executive branch under direct presidential control. Heritage authors invoke the “unitary executive” theory, arguing that agencies like the Department of Justice and the FBI should no longer operate with traditional independence. Project documents call DOJ a “bloated bureaucracy” that has “forfeited the trust” of Americans and urge making the FBI director “personally accountable to the president,” reshaping federal law enforcement priorities and civil rights enforcement, as summarized by PBS NewsHour and the Mandate itself.To make that vision real, Project 2025 leans on a hiring category known as Schedule F. The National Federation of Federal Employees explains that the plan would reclassify large numbers of civil servants as at-will employees and replace them with ideological loyalists, eliminating long-standing job protections against political interference. Heritage allies describe this as clearing out the “administrative state”; unions and watchdog groups describe it as opening the door to political purges across the bureaucracy.The scope reaches every corner of government. The Mandate proposes abolishing the Department of Education entirely, shifting its programs to states and to the Department of Health and Human Services, and folding the National Center for Education Statistics into the Census Bureau. It urges dismantling the Department of Homeland Security and replacing it with a streamlined immigration-focused agency combining Customs and Border Protection, ICE, TSA, and parts of Justice and Health and Human Services, as detailed in the Project 2025 chapters on immigration and education.Economic regulators are also targeted. The document calls for eliminating the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, abolishing the Federal Trade Commission, shrinking the National Labor Relations Board, and merging the Census Bureau, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and the Bureau of Economic Analysis into a single, politically directed statistics office, according to the Project 2025 overview compiled by Wikipedia and summaries from public-sector unions.Supporters argue this would cut red tape, boost fossil fuel production by rolling back environmental rules, and, in their words, “destroy the administrative state” that they see as blocking conservative policy. Critics, including the ACLU and Democracy Forward, warn that concentrating so much power in the White House could weaken checks and balances, politicize data, and threaten protections for workers, immigrants, and marginalized groups.The next major milestones hinge on elections and transition planning: whether a future administration formally embraces this blueprint, how much Congress will accept, and how courts respond if sweeping executive orders test the limits of presidential power.

The story of Project 2025 begins not on Election Day, but long before, in the quiet offices of the Heritage Foundation, where conservative policy experts assembled a nearly 900‑page blueprint called “Mandate for Leadership.” According to Heritage, the goal is simple and sweeping: prepare “the next conservative president” to overhaul the federal government on day one, using prewritten executive orders, a handpicked personnel roster, and a detailed 180‑day playbook.At its core, Project 2025 envisions a presidency with far greater direct control over federal agencies. Heritage's documentation argues for a robust “unitary executive,” calling for the Department of Justice and the FBI to be brought firmly under presidential authority and for the FBI director to be “personally accountable to the president.” Wikipedia's summary of the plan notes that independent regulators like the Federal Trade Commission and the Federal Communications Commission would lose much of their autonomy, reshaping how antitrust, consumer protection, and media rules are enforced.Listeners can see this ambition most clearly in proposals for the civil service. The National Federation of Federal Employees explains that Project 2025 leans on an idea known as Schedule F, a Trump‑era classification that would let the White House reclassify tens of thousands of career officials as political appointees. Heritage materials describe this as replacing a hostile “administrative state” with loyal staff, while unions and watchdogs warn it would strip protections and open the door to patronage and purges.The scope goes well beyond personnel. The blueprint urges abolishing the Department of Education and shifting most authority to states, with the National Center for Education Statistics folded into the Census Bureau. It says the federal role should be largely “statistics‑keeping,” accusing Washington of pushing “woke propaganda” in schools. In homeland security, it calls for dismantling the Department of Homeland Security and replacing it with a streamlined immigration‑focused agency built around border enforcement components, according to reporting summarized on Wikipedia.Economic and social policy would move sharply in a conservative direction. The plan calls for rolling back environmental regulations to favor fossil fuels, cutting corporate taxes, exploring a flat income tax, and reducing Medicaid and Medicare spending. The ACLU, which has published an overview titled “Project 2025, Explained,” warns that these shifts, combined with proposals to curtail civil rights enforcement and expand the federal death penalty, could weaken protections for immigrants, LGBTQ people, and communities of color.Supporters frame all this as restoring accountability and reversing what they see as liberal overreach. Critics at groups like the Brennan Center for Justice argue that concentrating power in the White House and politicizing law enforcement risks eroding checks and balances that have underpinned American governance for decades.The next key milestones will come as candidates decide how fully to embrace this playbook, and as voters weigh whether they want a presidency empowered to carry it out.

Project 2025 begins not with a candidate, but with a playbook. According to the Heritage Foundation, it is a “Presidential Transition Project” designed to prepare a future conservative administration to, in its words, “take back our government” on day one. Its core text, a nearly 900-page volume titled Mandate for Leadership, lays out a sweeping plan to reshape the federal government agency by agency, from the Justice Department to the Department of Education, and to concentrate power more directly in the presidency.At the heart of the project is personnel. Heritage leaders say their goal is to recruit and train thousands of conservatives ready to serve, insisting that “personnel is policy.” They openly advocate reviving a job category known as Schedule F, which would reclassify tens of thousands of civil servants as political appointees, making it easier to fire career officials and replace them with loyalists. The National Federation of Federal Employees warns this could “destroy the administrative state” by stripping protections from nonpartisan experts and giving a president “full control of the Executive Branch for personal and political gain.”The blueprint also calls for dramatic changes to federal agencies. Project 2025's Mandate for Leadership proposes dismantling the Department of Education entirely, shifting its programs to other departments and leaving states in charge of most education policy. It recommends abolishing the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and even the Federal Trade Commission, arguing that such regulators have become hostile to business. According to the ACLU's analysis of Project 2025, the plan would curb the independence of the Justice Department and FBI so that both are “directly accountable to the president,” a move that critics say could erode the traditional firewall between law enforcement and politics.On policy, the document pushes for deep cuts to Medicaid, reductions in Medicare, and lower corporate taxes, alongside rolling back environmental regulations to favor fossil fuel production, as summarized by reporting on Project 2025 in major national outlets and by policy watchdog groups. Supporters describe this as unleashing growth and restoring constitutional limits. Opponents, including Democracy Forward and the Center for Progressive Reform, argue the agenda would weaken worker protections, civil rights enforcement, and climate policy, while concentrating power in ways that test constitutional norms.As the 2024 campaign season unfolded, references to Project 2025 became a proxy fight over the future of American governance. Heritage insists it is simply offering a roadmap should a conservative win the White House. Legal scholars, meanwhile, are already gaming out court battles over any attempt to purge civil servants or dismantle long-standing agencies without congressional approval.The next milestones will hinge on who controls the presidency and Congress, and how much of this vision they are willing and able to enact. For now, Project 2025 remains a blueprint—but one detailed enough that listeners can see the outlines of a very different federal government if it ever moves from paper to practice.Thanks for tuning in, and come back next week for more.Some great Deals https://amzn.to/49SJ3QsFor more check out http://www.quietplease.aiThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

As a candidate, Trump knew to steer clear of Project 2025. But as president, he embraced its deeply unpopular policy goals and it has been driving down his poll numbers. Meanwhile, what are we doing with Venezuela? No one in the administration has made a remotely convincing case for the intimidation campaign against President Maduro. And the boat bombings are putting members of our military in legal danger under the guidance of Hegseth. Plus, the threats against legislators in Indiana who aren't going along with redistricting, and the broad-based coalition standing up to ICE—including people in costumes and grannies on scooters—has been one of the most successful responses to Trump's immigration agenda.

Independent investigative journalism, broadcasting, trouble-making and muckraking with Brad Friedman of BradBlog.com

Years ago, Woody Guthrie wrote “Mean Talking Blues,” a stinging satire of malicious right-wing officials who take perverse pleasure in demonizing, holding down, and punishing poor people:“I'm a big disasterJust goin' some place to happenI'm an organized famineStudying how I can be a little bit meanerI laugh my loudestWhen other people cryI hate everybody don't think like meI'm just mean.”What a perfect theme song for Trump's “Project 2025” – a MAGA crusade to stomp on millions of America's poorest families, trying to deny them access to the most basic human needs.Needs like… food. Brooke Rollins, Trump's multi-millionaire agriculture secretary, made crude political jokes about poor people during the GOP's government shutdown, laughing as she schemed to cut off their food stamps. She was an “organized famine,” illegally maneuvering to deny food for 42 million hard-hit American citizens.In addition, Project 2025 operatives want to yank health coverage from the poor – and just for meanness – they propose killing the modest program that helps impoverished families afford to have heat in their homes.Meanwhile, Trump poses as The Great Gatsby, living in tacky opulence, while ignoring the economic mess and rank inequality created by his Roaring 20s plutocratic presidency. Indeed, the inequality is widening as he doles out hundreds of billions of our tax dollars in new giveaways to billionaires (including to his own sons).Far from “Making America Great Again,” Trump's most tangible achievement is to have had the White House's Lincoln bathroom remodeled. And, in a royal touch, Trump even had a chandelier installed above the toilet. Imagine how proud Honest Abe would be.Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.

Gareth Gore | Unveiling The Conspiracy Of Opus Dei (his first appearance)Gareth Gore - Opus (Amazon)Subscribe To The Curious Worldview Substack---This is Gareth's second appearance on the podcast. It is the political fallout from everything covered in our first episode where he told the story for how he serendipitously uncovered Opus Dei's hidden power and financial manipulation while investigating the ruins of the Spanish bank, Banco Popular. It began as a routine story but evolved into the discovery of a global network of manipulation, coercive recruitment, psychological abuse, and enormous financial flows routed through myriad opaque foundations. Gareth spoke about how Opus Dei maintains a polished, benign public image, but secretly operates an inner core of numeraries—members bound by vows of obedience, chastity, and poverty—who are tightly controlled, isolated, and monitored.It's systematic practices include corporal mortification, constant surveillance, abuse, both emotional and physical and the exploitation of vulnerable young women tantamount to human trafficking. Opus Dei used Banco Popular as a piggy bank for decades, funnelling money through shell foundations and offshore channels to fund their impressive global expansion.This is a Direct quote from Gareth's first appearance… “This is an organisation that seeks to re-Christianize of the entire world… Opus Dei is informed by a warped, distorted, conservative, radical reading of the Bible. It embeds itself in key institutions, especially in the United States. and Despite its Vatican legitimacy, Opus Dei uses secrecy and corporate structures to evade accountability.

The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, has published a Mandate for Leadership since 1981, making policy recommendations to the federal government. The latest edition is part of something much bigger: Project 2025. The newest Mandate is part of a four-pillar project designed to fundamentally change the federal government from the inside. Though President Trump and his team spent his third presidential campaign claiming they had nothing to do with it, Trump is no longer distancing himself from Project 2025. So let's dig in. Our guide to Project 2025 is the former director of factcheck.org and author of A Guide to Project 2025, Eugene Kiely.For more information on Project 2025, you can access the full policy playbook at the link above or by clicking here.

Air Date 10/10/2025 The strategy that Trump and the masterminds behind Project 2025 are following is to move as fast as possible to implement their agenda because they know perfectly well how unpopular it is and will be as time goes on. It's hard to argue that anything good will come of this but I'm going to try during my comments anyway. Be part of the show!

In this hard-hitting episode, we cover the inside story of Project 2025 — the blueprint that shaped much of President Trump's agenda — and the political and judicial failures that have real consequences on the ground. Paul Danz, architect of Project 2025, explains how his work prepared the administration for day one, fought bureaucrats in the deep state, and continues the conservative fight in Washington. We also dive into the deadly consequences of inaction in South Carolina: how illegal immigration enforcement gaps, light sentencing, and political calculations contribute to tragedies, including fatal drunk-driving cases involving illegal immigrants. From courtrooms to the governor's office, this episode exposes systemic problems in law enforcement, deputization policies, and judicial accountability — and what citizens can demand moving forward.

Today's Headlines: President Trump has formally declared the U.S. to be in an “armed conflict” with drug cartels, invoking war powers and ordering military strikes on Caribbean boats the administration labels as “terrorist organizations.” Lawmakers in both parties are skeptical of the legal basis but—shocker—seem unlikely to act. Meanwhile, the government shutdown has left 750,000 workers unpaid or furloughed, and the White House is now threatening permanent firings with help from Project 2025 architect Russell Vought. Shutdown propaganda even seeped into federal employees' auto-replies, which were forcibly edited to blame Democrats. The Energy Department axed $7.6 billion in clean energy grants, conveniently targeting states that voted for Kamala Harris. The administration also sent nine universities—including Vanderbilt, MIT, and Brown—a “compact” demanding they overhaul admissions, freeze tuition, and abolish certain departments in exchange for federal funds. Elsewhere, the FDA approved a generic version of the abortion pill mifepristone, sparking predictable outrage despite it being a routine process. Yom Kippur was marred by a deadly terror attack at a synagogue in Manchester, where two worshippers were killed and the attacker was shot dead. And finally, Commerce Secretary Howard “Laughin'” Lutnick, a former neighbor of Jeffrey Epstein, suggested Epstein blackmailed powerful men with videos, casually detonating months of damage control efforts with a single podcast appearance.

Trump budget chief Russell Vought, architect of “Project 2025,” is helping Donald Trump turn the government shutdown into a political weapon.

We continue to build on the idea that white Christian nationalism is, was and has always been the foundation of this country. To suggest otherwise is to be both ahistorical and absent in our politics today. The violent response to a concept so utterly innocuous such as “Black lives matter” should tell us everything. Before it was a movement (of sorts) it was a simple statement. But the reality is that they don’t. We need to stop calling it “Trump’s America” and just call it what it is. America.

During a congressional hearing yesterday, Republican lawmakers accused university leaders of failing to do enough to combat antisemitism on their campuses. That's a claim that the university officials strongly rejected.The hearing was the latest attempt by Republicans to use what they see as the growing threat against Jews to their political advantage. And it reflects a plan that was first laid out by the Heritage Foundation, the same conservative think tank that produced Project 2025.That plan, known as Project Esther, may have once seemed far-fetched. Katie J.M. Baker explains how it has become a reality.Guest: Katie J.M. Baker, a national investigative correspondent for The New York Times.Background reading: Even before President Trump was re-elected, the Heritage Foundation, best known for Project 2025, set out to destroy pro-Palestinian activism in the United States. University leaders rejected Republican attacks, saying they were working to protect Jewish students but also free speech on their campuses.For more information on today's episode, visit nytimes.com/thedaily.
