A Progress Report on the Destruction of America
Project 2025 is well on its way to completion
As I write this, the regime occupying the White House in violation of the 14th Amendment (Section 3) is one-third of the way through the implementation of Project 2025, aka Mandate for Christo-nationalism.
This is a progress report.
The Report
You can learn more about the impacts of Project 2025 by click/tapping any one of hundreds of stories here on Substack that get published every day. I won’t go into implications here. I’m simply laying out a detailed progress report.
In this report, I’ve listed the federal agencies affected so far using a heading (heading 4), along with the percentage of completion as mandated by Project 2025.
Each agency title/name is followed by bullet points describing the change initiated by Project 2025, with a link providing more details. The bullet point is immediately followed by the Project 2025 page number that originally mandated the change.
A few notes as you peruse the report
The report is sorted by percentage of completion per government agency. For example, USAID (United States Agency for International Development) is 100% complete, so it is first in the list.
Percentage of completion refers to the goals as outlined by Project 2025. All Project 2025 page references refer to this document (PDF), but see the notes for an alternative link.
Many of the links resolve to snapshots of archived web links.
Other links are news stories that represent an example of a specified Project 2025 task. Some links go to the mad king’s executive order that mandates the referenced change.
Dozens of the “completed” items are undergoing legal challenges. I have not tried to track those.
If you read any part of Project 2025, you’ll recognize that the writing style is identical to the executive orders of MadKing 2.0. There’s a reason for this. The mad king is not capable of writing executive orders with such detailed legal language. I doubt he could even describe their essence if he were asked without rolling into some hateful tangent about dog-eating transgender football players.
Read it and weep (or better yet, fight). The truly frightening reality is that, as long as this list is, it’s probably incomplete:

Notes
I did not include Project 2025 proposals that have not been acted upon in a clearly identifiable way (unless I simply missed it, which is possible given the volume of hate that is being thrown our way). If I missed something, feel free to add it to the comments.
The link provided at the beginning of this report resolves to a PDF by the Heritage Foundation, the organization that created the original document.
I have uploaded a better version to my Amazon Web Services S3 instance. Since Amazon (of course) charges a tiny amount for each download, if there are thousands of downloads (unlikely), I’ll embed it onto a Medium page (Substack doesn’t support PDF embeds) and link to that page in an update to this report.
The version I uploaded is slightly older. The Heritage Foundation, upon realizing that people were referencing each page, reformatted the document to “unsync” the page numbers so that they could obfuscate. The version I uploaded doesn’t have that issue.
This report would not have been possible without this amazing Project 2025 tracker:
Project 2025 Tracker
Track the progress on Project 2025www.project2025.observer
These folks deserve your support, however you can give it. This web document helped me organize my report. I’ve been working on and off on a Project 2025 “tracker” for some time. Discovering their effort was a gold mine for me and helped me bring this to completion much sooner than I otherwise would have.
I may, or may not, try to keep this post current. But if I can’t, follow that link to keep up with the latest. I will keep this post current if it gets enough reads to justify the effort.
The next important date at the time of this writing is April 5, 2025:
Hands Off! Rally in D.C. · Hands Off (Social Security, etc.)
Donald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them. They're taking everything they can get their hands on.
Please remember that the 2026 midterms are an opportunity to build a Congress capable of enforcing the 14th Amendment (Section 3), which the Supreme Court ruled in Trump v. Anderson is a matter for Congress, not the states (in this case, Colorado).
The 14th Amendment prohibits insurrectionists from occupying federal offices. Taking control of Congress also makes impeachment a possibility.
Do not, under any circumstances, assume Republicans will stifle your vote. Do not surrender in advance. By sweeping congressional elections, we can end this regime.
And remember. You were warned about Project 2025 long before the November 2024 elections by the same people who are warning you now about authoritarianism.
Elbows 🇨🇦 up! And thanks for reading.
An excellent job here, Charles. Heartbreaking.
It's not just that the numbers are scary. It's actually the speed at which they are completing all of these things.
