"#Project2025 is far more than just a blueprint for an authoritarian presidency. Republicans in Congress are already trying to pass [it] into law by hiding hundreds of its most controversial provisions inside the must-pass annual spending bills." -Policy Director @J_A_Goodwin
NEW: House Republican spending bills have more than 300 Project 2025 poison pills.
Nearly 3 out of every 5 poison pill riders are aligned with the right's extremist authoritarian playbook.
Congress must remove all of these measures and more by the Dec. 20th funding deadline.
