Project 2025 Publishes 'Mandate for Leadership' — 920-Page Policy Blueprint (2023-04-20)

The Heritage Foundation publishes the 920-page 'Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise,' the policy heart of Project 2025. The document proposes eliminating the Department of Education, dismantling climate and environmental protections, criminalizing pornography, expanding presidential power, ending no-fault divorce, and overhauling the civil service through Schedule F. Trump initially distances himself from the document, but after the 2024 election, it becomes the operational playbook for his second term.
