  • President-elect Donald J. Trump has filled his administration with people who have ties to the right-wing manifesto.

The article from The New York Times discusses "Project 2025," a comprehensive policy and personnel blueprint developed by conservative groups to prepare for a potential second term of Donald Trump or a similar conservative administration.
