ProPublica and Documented obtained more than 14 hours of never-before-published videos from Project 2025’s Presidential Administration Academy, which are intended to train the next conservative administration’s political appointees “to be ready on day one.”
Project 2025, the controversial playbook and policy guide created by the Heritage Foundation for a future conservative presidential administration, has lost its director. In recent weeks, it faced scathing criticism from both Democratic groups and former President Donald Trump, whose campaign has tried to distance itself from the effort. But Project 2025’s plan to train an army of political appointees who could battle against the so-called deep state government bureaucracy remains on track.
For transparency, we are publishing the videos as we obtained them.
The Heritage Foundation and most of the people who appear in the videos cited in our story did not respond to ProPublica’s repeated requests for comment. Karoline Leavitt, a spokesperson for the Trump campaign, said, “As our campaign leadership and President Trump have repeatedly stated, Agenda 47 is the only official policy agenda from our campaign.”
In this video, Katie Sullivan and Bethany Kozma discuss supposed left-wing code words and biased language that future appointees should be aware of and root out.
Sullivan was the former acting assistant attorney general in charge of the Office of Justice Programs, a grant-making agency inside the Justice Department.
Kozma was the deputy chief of staff at the U.S. Agency for International Development during the Trump administration.

Trump repeats lies constantly so this is not only a “leftist” tactic.
Dems: Look what projeckt 2025 says,
You'll be a 16th century rasist puritan!
How dare you! -"Thank you Greta Thunburg voice"
James 1: 27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
(Parody) The second is like it, to catch politicians in their lies and corruption.
And have the freedom to say so.
This is absolutely bull crap
Don’t drink this koolaid
Whoa these chicks are literally saying they don’t want equality for Black people. That is nuts.
"Climate change" is uh climate change…ladies. population control?
"When I think of climate change, I immediately think of population control, don't you?" Uh. Nope. You friggin' weirdo. 14:14
If this doesnt terrify you, you are part of the problem.
"Bethany, are your children afraid of monsters in the attic or under the bed?"
Correct answer: "Yes, they are afraid of monsters, because they have people like us as their parents, so they know monsters are real!"
Everything doesn’t have to do with the president, especially when you’re dealing with female anatomy. That is my main focus, and if any of you weren’t being intellectually disingenuous, you would have gotten your information from a gynecologist or an obstetrician. They would’ve happily told you why everything falls under the umbrella of an abortion. It is a medical term. There are more than elective abortions; there are spontaneous abortions, which is called a miscarriage, but there’s no medical term called miscarriage; it is called a spontaneous abortion. When you have a D&C because you had a miscarriage and they cleaned out the uterus, that’s an abortion procedure. Without it, you will die of sepsis. If you have a conceived and fertilized egg in your fallopian tubes, it is an immediate emergency that that pregnancy be ended to save the woman’s life. There’s no pathway for that to become a fetus or to live. These are some of the situations that you would have found out about had you spoken to someone with a medical license. And it’s not just intellectually disingenuous, it’s egregious; it’s diabolical to put women’s lives in danger for some religious reasons and to do it without their permission, especially if they don’t recognize your religion as their own. The UN calls this a crime against humanity, something that happened in Romania and had to be stopped. And I put all of this for a reason because everybody that has to get an abortion procedure is not someone who electively wants to end their pregnancy. There’s a chart online that will show you how minimal it is for women to electively end their pregnancies; it’s not as great as you think. You’ve done no studies; you’ve not talked to any doctors; you just got together as a religious group and decided to take over the country with your disingenuous religious beliefs.
“And then science comes along and disproves climate change cause the weather got really cold that winter” bye
so I found this, finally after some research, and wow. The paranoia is pungent. That's gotta be some strong koolaid!
Stop lying 2025 is trying to privatize my medicare causing me to deal with companies already worth BILLIONS of $$. Causing us to pay more for health services as a republican favor to pharma and healthcare companies. They are lying read it. Read tge whole document if a republican gets back into powere. They also want to get rid of ACA so if you have a prex condition youre screwed
Normal American woman telling political appointees that we cannot trust those that serve our country in various agencies for decades. The people that serve in agencies are professionals that are highly educated in those areas. Climate Change cannot be a political game. Follow the science. True over the history of man kind Science has not always been right. But it is a hell of a lot better by a long shot over people that use their alternative facts for political and personal gain. This video is pure evil in how to use our government to serve the rich and powerful over the electorate.
At minute 6. This is literally what the far right does: takes terms we have developed in our scholarship over decades to critique and describe any number of sociological observations and manipulates their own meaning of these terms. CRT. Gender affirming care. Consent. Settler colonialism. Terms that have meaning beyond the definitions of each word in the phrase that the far right seeks to undermine — Rufo bragged about it.
These are the radicals, they want Americans to live in there neat little box! Bullcrap TRE45ON doesn't know about Project 2025! Their word WOKE, we better be awake or they will instill their fake agenda, fake religion and their promotion of anti science bullcrap!
Whoaaaa…. these women are scary AF.
Both sides of this project 2025, for and against, have their pros and cons. Mainly because there is more than a political solution to all these global issues, which neither side is really interested in engaging with because it might mean their end.
But since this next decade will see huge changes and transformation, everybody and everything will be different, no exceptions.
So either grab your surf board and ride the wave or drown in self righteousness.
This is insane. I keep waiting for the joke to be revealed but there is no joke.
Says Der Fuhrer to his uber staff. Heil, we hear and obey!!
