"Conservatives Push for Trump's Vision to Overhaul U.S. Government"

Conservative organizations, led by the Heritage Foundation, are preparing for a potential second term for Donald Trump or any candidate who aligns with their ideals. Their goal is to dismantle the federal government and replace it with a vision closer to Trump's own. The effort, known as Project 2025, aims to reshape the "deep state" bureaucracy by firing up to 50,000 federal workers and replacing them with like-minded officials. The initiative is gaining prominence among Republicans and could be implemented if Trump wins a second term. However, critics argue that such a move would undermine the professional workforce and risk political bias. The proposals in the Heritage Foundation's handbook include overhauling the Department of Justice, curbing its independence, and ending FBI efforts to combat misinformation. The project also calls for the Pentagon to abolish diversity initiatives and reinstate service members discharged for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine.
