ProPublica and Documented obtained more than 14 hours of never-before-published videos from Project 2025’s Presidential Administration Academy, which are intended to train the next conservative administration’s political appointees “to be ready on day one.”

Project 2025, the controversial playbook and policy guide created by the Heritage Foundation for a future conservative presidential administration, has lost its director. In recent weeks, it faced scathing criticism from both Democratic groups and former President Donald Trump, whose campaign has tried to distance itself from the effort. But Project 2025’s plan to train an army of political appointees who could battle against the so-called deep state government bureaucracy remains on track.

For transparency, we are publishing the videos as we obtained them.

    More and more Project 2025 looks like the plan for what’s to be done next time a coup succeeds, or (best case scenario for them) the next time they win the election.

    They won’t stop if Harris wins. Whatever the result, the months following the election will be chaotic.

      I didn’t watch all of them, I’m not sure I could stand it. But from the titles alone, I think you’re on to something. Someone in the comments said this:

      Right out of the gate: “Currently I serve as Legislative Director for Senator JD Vance”. There’s always been an us vs them in this country. Time to look it in the face. Thanks ProPublica.
