Checking in on Project 2025 with Don Moynihan
"We’re very much in worst case scenario territory."
Today, as a bonus for subscribers, we’re publishing a Q&A with Project 2025 expert Don Moynihan about the reality of Trump 2.0 and how it compares with what he expected during the campaign, when he was trying to sound the alarm about the Heritage Foundation’s authoritarian policy blueprint.
We conducted this interview a couple months ago — before the spectacular falling out between Trump and Musk — but it got swept away in the flood of breaking news we’ve covered since then. Nonetheless, Moynihan’s perspective on Project 2025 and its impact on American life is both insightful and evergreen, so the Q&A remains worthwhile.
