“One particularly demoralizing storyline for Democrats — not that they have many helpful ones to choose from — is that they are so overwhelmed by the speed of the Trump administration that they don’t know how to fight it. That’s not really true. There was a playbook in place for a Trump restoration, built during the 2024 campaign, when the party messaged relentlessly against the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 agenda and tried to make its authors famous. (Quick: Name a former OMB director who’s not Russ Vought.) Democratic legal groups and attorneys general previewed their plans in The New York Times one week after Kamala Harris’[s] defeat. Then they executed the plan. … the goal was stopping as much of the agenda as possible, and some of that has worked.” (02/12/25)
