After staying away last election from Trump and backing DeSantos, they have a $55 million plan to take over government personnel in a Trump presidency.


From rawstory

The Heritage Foundation launched Project 2025 last April to develop policy recommendations and identify thousands of political appointees who could carry out its agenda in the next Republican administration. And groups linked to conservative activist Leonard Leo and the Koch network have now contributed more than $55 million to the initiative, according to an Accountable.US review shared exclusively with NBC News.

...

More than 100 conservative organizations have joined with former high-level Trump administration appointees and an advisory board to develop a presidential transition operation that would remake every federal department and agency to prioritize conservative goals, and their work has been aided by significant contributions from influential donors.

The project's proposals would rapidly increase oil and gas leases through the Interior Department and end the Energy Department's focus on climate change and green subsidies, and the Environmental Protection Agency would gut its environmental justice and public engagement functions and eliminate its Office of Environmental Justice and External Civil Rights.
