In the first year of Donald Trump’s second term, he implemented 50% of the objectives in Project 2025, the anti-democratic, misogynistic, and ultraconservative blueprint for dismantling our rights and freedoms. His presidency has been defined by governing through intimidation and retribution, the consolidation of executive power, the breaking of democratic norms, the disregard for the rule of law, and an assault on women, children, LGBTQ+ people, and immigrant communities.
This report outlines the actions Trump took in his first year to attack affordability and basic needs programs, abuse executive authority, attack women and LGBTQ+ people, undermine our education system, and separate immigrant families.
