Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I've been waiting for journalists to link the executive orders to specific Project 2025 items, so this is great.
If I have one suggestion, it's actually to either tone down or move the editorializing (the site's opening text box content).
It seems strange to say this - I frequently call out the slow-motion trainwreck that is our descent into fascism - but the large type "FASCISM" references on the tracker page may be counterproductive to this being a widely-used resource. To some, they will close the page thinking it's another conspiracy theorist manifesto or something. The people who need to see and trust this probably first need to trust that these are facts with or without an agenda.
You could also move it to a "why did I start this project" page to not distract from the tracker.
The implementation of Project 2025 is terrifying enough, or at least should be. But journalism is failing to track it. This is great work.
Hey thanks for the input, I'll work on that. Will probably have an update before EOD.
Actually just moved the fascism thing to the bottom. Wasn't sure specifically what you were referring to with the "why" section, so didn't move anything else.
Ignore my second paragraph. After rereading your message like 6 times I finally got it. Having a slow brain Friday.
Nah, all good - it's your page, do it how you want, just trying to help by giving a perspective. Thanks for doing it.
Yeah no I totally get it. I had some of the same thoughts when I was putting it up. I was torn, because honestly the people that most need to see this information will be the ones least likely to see it or take it seriously anyway.
