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.

    Hope everyone is ready to suffer.

    I’d say blame it on conservatives. But you can also blame it on the absolute idiots that voted 3rd party, were single issue voters, or abstained from voting. They’re just as much to blame and just as stupid as Trump supporters.

      In which state did 3rd-party voters tip the presidential election results there?

        I hate self important douche bags who are so used to basking in their own fart clouds that they can’t see how sanctimonious they are and can’t come to terms with the fact that maybe their fart sniffing ideology doesn’t work for all 300M other people in this country.

        Especially when they turn around and call their political opposites sanctimonious fart sniffing hypocrites without acknowledging their own hypocrisy. It annoys me.

        See the nation is healing already!

        “Genocide Joe” passed more meaningful legislation for average Americans then most presidents. But the conservative propaganda machine won and made him seem like the devil incarnate because stupid Americans can’t discern fact from fiction.

          stupid Americans can’t discern fact from fiction.

          It’s almost as if all the attacks on education over the last 4-7 decades are bearing fruit.
