Project 2025 And “MAGA Nerve Center” Work Together To Consolidate Power
Today, new reporting from Salon revealed the Conservative Partnership Institute (CPI) as a key piece behind Project 2025’s attempt to consolidate power for the next conservative administration.
The CPI network includes radical right-wing organizations such as the American Accountability Foundation, Personnel Policy Operations, and Election Integrity Network. These organizations work in tandem, sometimes with overlapping personnel, to further extreme right-wing policies. Accountable.US previously filed a complaint with the Office of the Attorney General for the District of Columbia against CPI and Personnel Policy Operations (PPO), alleging multiple potential abuses of the group’s non-profit status. In addition, the watchdog group Campaign for Accountability filed an IRS complaint based on Accountable.US research against the group for allegedly violating the prohibition on private inurement. As noted in Salon:
CPI's network — which includes the American Accountability Foundation, Personnel Policy Operations and Election Integrity Network — overlaps with the mission and leaders of other associated groups, including the Heritage Foundation. … What this speaks to is this movement of MAGA conservatives to consolidate power. Basically, the agenda is the same, that they're working to pursue an agenda that gives more power to them, for them to have more control over our lives and to take away our freedoms.’ They want to give more power to big corporate interests that can raise prices on middle class families as they see fit, more power to insurance companies to deny care, more power to drug companies to gouge seniors or everyone with prescription drugs.’"
Accountable.US executive director Tony Carrk
