Here's Team Trump's terrifying plan to dismantle the government

The people who brought you Project 2025 are getting to work on destroying the government early with Project Sovereignty 2025, readying for a purge of civil service employees whom they deem “anti-American bad actors burrowed into the administrative state.” This is something Donald Trump tried to do at the end of his term, and President Joe Biden undid it. But it wouldn’t be a slapdash experiment for Trump the second time around—he’s got the blueprint and his team has the experience to do it

The Associated Press reports that Republican insider Tom Jones and his American Accountability Foundation recently received a $100,000 grant from the Heritage Foundation, and they are already on the job trawling through the backgrounds, social media posts, and statements from high-ranking civil servants in the Department of Homeland Security, partly using tips from conservative contacts.

“We need to understand who these people are and what they do,” Jones, a former aide to Republican senators, told the Associated Press.
