Overview
- Reporting indicates the administration executed dozens of Project 2025 recommendations in 2025, aided by the placement of plan authors in key posts such as Russell Vought at OMB and Brendan Carr at the FCC.
- Education proposals still in play include a federal Parents’ Bill of Rights, converting IDEA funding to block grants, and requiring all federally funded schools to administer the ASVAB, while a floated bid to eliminate Head Start was dropped.
- Reproductive-health objectives yet to be realized include removing the week-after pill from HRSA preventive guidelines, pressing the FDA to reverse approval of medication abortion, and pursuing the stalled Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act.
- Immigration priorities under consideration range from restructuring DHS and creating a cabinet-level border agency to curbing the department’s intelligence arm, which has not been eliminated despite reported downsizing efforts.
- Heritage is promoting a 2026 agenda branded Restoring America’s Promise, backed by a national ad campaign and a slate of priorities that echo Project 2025’s aims to expand executive control, roll back regulations, and refocus federal policy on conservative goals.
