Summary

The Heritage Foundation, a key architect of Project 2025, is spending $1 million to pressure Republican senators into confirming Pete Hegseth as secretary of defense, despite concerns over his views on women in combat and allegations of misconduct.

Project 2025, a conservative blueprint tied to Donald Trump’s incoming administration, aims to reshape the federal government by reclassifying jobs to ease firings and curtailing agencies.

Heritage President Kevin Roberts framed Trump’s second term as pivotal for advancing conservative priorities, aligning with groups like the America First Policy Institute.

Debate over Hegseth highlights tensions within the GOP.

    “Spending $1mil to pressure…”

    And how does money pressure them, here? C’mon, say it’s not a bribe, I dare you.

    Lord the U.S. is a shithole.

      It’s not a bribe, it’s a gratuity. No wonder Trump wants to eliminate tax on tips, it’s how GOP politicians make money.

        This is 100% why. Otherwise it would be like the promises to the Muslims in Michigan or the rest of the morons who naught the lies.
