The people who are against Project 2025, most of America, need to find out what's happening and use their voice as loud as they can.

Surely a bunch of strongly worded letters will do something

They have already pledged to do similar?

First, I have made clear to House Republican leadership that any effort to steal taxpayer money from the American people, end Medicaid as we know it or defund programs important to everyday Americans, as contemplated by the illegal White House Office of Management and Budget order, must be choked off in the upcoming government funding bill, if not sooner.

And note that the dems only have power on this if republicans fight each other like last time. Reconciliation means it only requires a strict majority on spending bills (but can only be used a couple of times per year)

The Republicans have majorities in both the House and Senate, they don't need the Democrats to do anything other than lose again in '26.
