Today, U.S. Representatives Jared Huffman (CA-02) and Ayanna Pressley (MA-07), co-founders of the Stop Project 2025 Task Force, released a statement following the Heritage Foundation’s failure to respond to the lawmakers’ request to release its secret 180-Day Playbook and come before Congress to answer questions about the initiative. Despite publicly promoting the rest of its plan, Project 2025 has not only refused to release this final pillar but has also been caught conspiring about how to hide its agenda, avoid paper trails, and create secret plans.

“

The more the American public learns about Project 2025, the more they reject it. This extreme agenda that threatens to roll back our rights and protections has become so unpopular, the authors are conspiring about new ways to hide the final, secret pillar of their plan. We should all be concerned they are hiding how they plan to gut checks and balances and consolidate their power at our expense. The American people deserve to know. ”

Caroline Ciccone, President of Accountable.US

In an effort to bring Project 2025’s hidden plan to light, Reps. Huffman and Pressley announced today they are launching a confidential tip line to encourage members of the public to come forward with any information they may have about the hidden “Fourth Pillar” of Project 2025. (The Stop Project 2025 Task Force said it will carefully protect the privacy of anyone who comes forward.)

As the public continues discovering  new details about Project 2025 and its extremist agenda, concerns have grown about what could be hidden in the 180-Day Playbook. According to Reps. Huffman and Pressley, and based on the published Project 2025 Policy Agenda and comments from the plan’s architects, it is likely the secret 180-Day Playbook could include executive actions to:

  • Exploit extraordinary emergency provisions such as the Insurrection Act to deploy the military or national guard as a domestic police force and stifle protests or declare martial law.
  • Implement Schedule F to replace civil servants with far-right loyalists, enshrining radical policies that aren’t supported by the American people.
  • Unilaterally criminalize reproductive healthcare nationwide, ban medication abortion, restrict access to contraception, and prohibit certain fertility treatments without congressional consent, as called for in the published portion of Project 2025.
  • Implement Project 2025’s recommendations to eliminate the Department of Education, end Head Start, stamp out overtime pay, and roll back other public services and protections for working Americans.
