Notably: A pointed short from Robert Reich: “Trump claims he has “no idea who is behind” Project 2025. Hogwash! Project 2025’s nearly thousand-page plan for a total MAGA takeover of America was assembled by more than 25 of Trump’s own administration officials. Trump’s Make America Great Again PAC is running ads calling it “Trump’s Project 2025.” CNN found that at least 140 people who worked for Trump are involved in the project, including six of his cabinet secretaries. Trump’s campaign press secretary and his adviser Stephen Miller star in Project 2025’s recruitment video. If Trump has “no idea” who they are, that’s some serious cognitive decline! I can see why Trump wants to distance himself from such a toxic plan. Page 5 calls for jailing teachers and librarians over banned books. Page 455 calls for “abortion surveillance” and stripping Americans of reproductive freedom. Pages 587 and 592 have plans to gut overtime pay rules. Page 489 demands the government prioritize “married men and women” over any other type of family. Page 371 proposes privatizing nuclear waste disposal. What could go wrong? Trump has promised to be a “dictator” on Day One. The Supreme Court has given their blessing. Project 2025 is the how-to manual for Trump’s dictatorship. Trump is Project 2025. He cannot escape it.”

“It’s such a mess. I spend so much time thinking of what to do. You wouldn’t call this a political activity, but it is. You have to know where you are going. Nothing has changed here since the Shah, you know. The workers and the lower classes are living under the same conditions. Nothing has changed for them. So for the third time in this century the people of Iran have been broken. This is what I think about every day. It prevents me studying sometimes. Seventy years ago we wanted to get rid of the ajar kings. We got a constitution then. But it was never carried out. That was the first time we were broken. The second time was in 1953, when we wanted to get rid of the Pahlavis, who had replaced the ajars. The American coup d’état broke everything. And now, for the third time, you see what’s happening. A revolution, and then noth-ing. Khomeini is a petit bourgeois. They are going to start the whole system up again and they’re going to call it Islamic. That’s all.”
—From V.S. Naipaul’s Among the Believers (1981).
