Last summer Lisa Graves sounded the alarm about Project 2025, the over 900 page plan written by the ultra-conservative Heritage Foundation that proposed to remake the US government. Now that Donald Trump is in the White House for a second term, he’s using Project 2025 as the blueprint for sweeping changes to governance and American society.
Lisa Graves joins host Ali Muldrow again to talk about where we stand: firings of national park rangers and other federal employees, locking the doors of USAID, and ripping away of foreign aid to Ukraine. They also discuss the trade war, the undermining of the National Labor Relations Board, and threats to reproductive rights.
Graves says that though Republicans have championed destructive criminal justice and gun policies, for example, in the past, the Trump administration’s launching of a trade war is one of the worst policy decisions that could be made right now. So far, lower courts have been blocking Trump’s executive orders, but Graves says that Trump is counting on the Supreme Court to back him up in the future.
Lisa Graves is the executive director of True North Research, a national investigative watchdog group. She is also the board president of the Center for Media and Democracy.
