Project 2025 Updates:

Every CIA Employee Offered Buyout

It is unclear whether or not the buyout is legal.

The Trump Administration has officially offered a buyout to every employee of the Central Intelligence Agency. The buyout offers CIA employees pay and benefits for a period of eight months, mimicking the buyout offered to other federal employees. 


Doge staffers enter Noaa headquarters and incite reports of cuts and threats

Members reportedly sought access to IT systems at agency that Project 2025 has called ‘harmful to US prosperity’

Staffers with Elon Musk’s “department of government efficiency” (Doge) reportedly entered the headquarters of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa) in Silver Spring, Maryland, and the Department of Commerce in Washington DC today, inciting concerns of downsizing at the agency.

“They apparently just sort of walked past security and said: ‘Get out of my way,’ and they’re looking for access for the IT systems, as they have in other agencies,” said Andrew Rosenberg, a former Noaa official who is now a fellow at the University of New Hampshire. “They will have access to the entire computer system, a lot of which is confidential information.”

Project 2025, written by several former Trump staffers, has called for the agency to be “broken up and downsized”, claiming the agency is “harmful to US prosperity” for its role in climate science.

We do not need to give co-president Trump any additional ammunition as he slowly unrolls his plan for declaring martial law before the midterms. An actual member of Congress shrieking multiple times that the nation is at war is literally going to endanger our democracy by giving its enemies options.
