#Project2025, the controversial playbook & #policy agenda for a #RightWing presidential admin, has lost its director & faced scathing criticism from both Democratic groups & Trump. But Project 2025’s plan to train an #army of #PoliticalAppointees who could battle against the so-called [mythical] deep state govt bureaucracy on behalf of a future #Trump admin remains on track.

One centerpiece of that program is dozens of never-before-published videos created for #Project2025’s #PresidentialAdministrationAcademy. The vast majority of these videos — 23 in all, totaling >14 hrs of content — were provided to #ProPublica & #Documented by a person who had access to them.

The #Project2025 videos coach future appointees on everything from the nuts & bolts of governing to how to outwit bureaucrats. There are strategies for avoiding embarrassing #FOIA disclosures & ensuring that #conservative #policies aren’t struck down by “left-wing judges.” Some of the content is routine…. Other segments of the training offer guidance on radically changing how the #federal govt works & what it does.

In one video, Bethany Kozma, a #conservative activist & fmr deputy chief of staff at the US Agency for International Development [#USAID] in the #Trump admin, downplays the seriousness of #ClimateChange & says the movement to combat it is really part of a ploy to “control people.”

“If the American people elect a conservative president, his administration will have to eradicate climate change references from absolutely everywhere,” Kozma says.

In the video, Kozma calls the idea of #gender fluidity “evil.” Another speaker, Katie Sullivan, who was an acting asst AG at the #DOJ under #Trump, takes aim at executive actions by the admin of President #Biden that created gender adviser positions throughout the #federal govt. The goal, Biden wrote in one order, was to “advance #EqualRights & opportunities, regardless of gender or gender #identity.”
