  • PROJECT 2025: 20. Department of Justice
    The document is a conservative manifesto advocating for the reform of the Department of Justice (DOJ) and its agencies, particularly the FBI. The document details numerous concerns about the DOJ's handling of various issues, including the investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election, the FBI's alleged suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story, the department's response to protests against school board policies, and the enforcement of immigration laws. The authors argue that these actions demonstrate a politicization of the DOJ and its agencies, a disregard for the rule of law, and a focus on advancing a liberal agenda rather than protecting public safety and upholding the Constitution. They propose a series of reforms aimed at restoring the department's focus on its core functions, including a top-to-bottom overhaul of the FBI, a renewed focus on violent crime, a more aggressive approach to dismantling criminal enterprises, and a return to a national security agenda focused on external threats rather than domestic dissent. The manifesto concludes with recommendations for specific legislative and policy changes to address perceived problems with the DOJ's structure, operations, and culture.

  • PROJECT 2025: 15. Department of Energy and Related Commissions
    This document, a conservative policy paper titled "Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise," outlines the author's vision for reforming the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

The paper criticizes the Biden Administration's "green" policies, arguing that they are jeopardizing energy security and national security by subsidizing renewable energy sources while neglecting the development of traditional resources and nuclear power. The author proposes a range of policy changes, including a complete restructuring of the DOE, with a new focus on energy security and advanced science. Additionally, the paper calls for the elimination of subsidies for renewable energy, the promotion of nuclear power, and the reform of FERC to ensure a more reliable electric grid and affordable energy prices.

  • PROJECT 2025: 13. The General Welfare
    The first source, "13. The General Welfare.pdf," is a chapter from a larger book that critiques various federal departments during the Obama and Biden Administrations, arguing that they have veered away from their original missions and become too focused on leftist agendas. Specifically, it criticizes the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Department of Justice (DOJ), and the Department of Education, arguing that they have prioritized issues such as climate change, transgender activism, and race-based policies over core functions like protecting public safety and promoting traditional American values. The second source, "10. Department of Agriculture," focuses on the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), arguing that it has grown too large and involved in areas beyond its original mission of promoting agricultural production. The authors argue that the USDA should focus on removing barriers to food production and disseminating agricultural research, rather than trying to transform the food system or promote environmental agendas. The authors make specific recommendations for reforming the USDA, such as eliminating the Conservation Reserve Program, reforming farm subsidies, and reducing the scope of the Food and Nutrition Service.

  • PROJECT 2025: 12. Agency for International Development
    This document, titled "Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise," is a critical analysis of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and its role in foreign aid. The document advocates for a conservative approach to USAID, arguing that the Biden Administration has misused the agency to advance a "divisive political and cultural agenda" by promoting abortion, climate extremism, gender radicalism, and interventions against perceived systemic racism. It recommends a return to the "Journey to Self-Reliance" strategy implemented by the Trump Administration, which aimed to empower developing nations to become self-sufficient. The document also emphasizes the need to counter China's influence in the developing world and advocates for a stronger focus on private-sector engagement and partnerships with faith-based organizations.

  • PROJECT 2025: 11. Media Agencies

The second chapter, written from a conservative perspective, argues that the CPB is a waste of taxpayer money that promotes left-wing bias and should be defunded.
