Project 2025's Creators - Pt 4 The People Who Contributed



Alright, hopefully this goes by quickly and then we can be done with this part of the analysis. Let’s get through this.

4.1 Mark Albrecht

He appears to be an old man space dude. I guess Musk’s journey from Space X to conservative shithead was based off Albrecht.

4.2 Chris Anderson

He currently works for Senator Steve Daines of Montana, but previously, he worked for the Trump administration in Veteran Affairs.

4.3 Jeff Anderson

Jeffy is a president of the American Main Street Initiative from section 1 - 11. He worked for Trump at the DOJ. Over at the American Conservative bullshit mag, he wrote about how masks are evil and dangerous actually because of course a dude who worked for Trump doesn’t care about science or protecting people from COVID.

4.4 Michael Anton

Looks like we’ve got a Hillsdale guy here, section 1 - 32. And he served on the Hill in Trump’s administration.

4.5 EJ Antoni

A Heritage employee who thinks the point of education is making good little workers. He seems to highly dislike college and would prefer high schools to become little apprenticeship places instead of institutions of learning. I wonder why he signed onto the “we hate education” policy document.

4.6 Andrew “Art” Arthur

Arty here works for Center for Immigration Studies, section 1 - 16. He didn’t work for Trump, but he did work for DeSantis, so everyone can remember come 2028.

4.7 Paul Atkins

He apparently works for Patomak Global Partners, shockingly not a group signed onto Project 2025. It seems to be a business investment lawyer thing so, whatever.

4.8 Julie Axelrod

You might remember this name from 1 - 16, Center for Immigration Studies, where I listed her as someone who worked for Trump. But she also signed onto the doc herself.

4.9 James Bacon

The College Republicans of America tweeted out that Bacon joined them as an advisor which is where I confirmed this is the same James Bacon who worked for the Trump White House.

4.10 James Baehr

James is a fellow at America First Policy Insitute, a group whose name makes me surprised they aren’t behind Project 2025. Unsurprisingly, he worked for Trump.

4.11 Stewart Baker

Baker is a lawyer at Steptoe and Johnson who was more relevant during the Bush years.

4.12 Erik Baptist

Worker at section 1 - 2, hategroup Alliance Defending Freedom and former worker for Trump’s EPA.

4.13 Brent Bennett

Section 1 - 51, Texas Public Policy Foundation, that’s the group he belongs to.

4.14 John Berlau

He works for Competitive Enterprise Institute, section 1 - 20.

4.15 Russell Berman

He signed on as a member of the Hoover Institution. This Stanford Professor happens to have also worked for the Trump admin.

4.16 Sanjai Bhagat

A professor at the University of Colorado Boulder signing onto a doc that hates education. Cool.

4.17 Stephen Billy

Billy comes to us from section 1 - 50, Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America. His LinkedIn says he worked for the Trump admin.

4.18 Brad Bishop

Bishop is of section 1 - 8, American Cornerstone Institute and of the Trump White House.

4.19 Willis Bixby

He’s from something called WWBX. I don’t know what that is. And it doesn’t really look like the internet knows who he is.

4.20 Josh Blackman

Blackman is a professor at South Texas College of Law who I don’t care about.

4.21 Jim Blew

Blew blew in from section 1 - 22, the Defense of Freedom Institute. As I mentioned there, he worked for Trump’s Education Department.

4.22 Robert Bortins

He’s the CEO of Christian home schooling company Classical Conversations, the group attached to his name when he decided to advice and keep his name on the Mandate that calls for the destruction of the public education and is pursued be several Christian nationalist groups and people.

4. 23 Rachel Bovard

Section 1 - 21 Conservative Partnership Institute, that’s where we get Rachel Bovard.

4.24 Robert Bowes

Based on ProPublica, it looks like he worked for Trump’s campaign and his HUD.

4.25 Matt Bowman

Oh yay, more ADF hategroup members. Yes, he did work for Trump because Trump loves employing hate group members.

4.26 Steven G. Bradbury

Speaking of hate groups: The Heritage Foundation. Bradbury worked for Trump’s Transportation Department.

4.27 Preston Brashers

He works with Bradbury I guess over at The Heritage Foundation.

4.28 Jonathan Bronitsky

He’s the CEO of ATHOS, whatever that is, and a former Trump DOJ worker.

4.29 Kyle Brosnan

More Heritage Foundation people working for Trump, this one at HHS.

4.30 Patrick T. Brown

Live from section 1 - 23 it’s Patrick Brown of Ethics and Public Policy Center

4.31 Robert Burkett

Section 2 - 3 ACLJ Action. I’m fairly certain that his Executive Branch work comes from the Trump admin since hs graduated in 2013.

4.32 Michael Burley

Burley is of the American Cornerstone Institute, section 1 - 8. I guess he doesn’t matter because there’s about zero information on him online.

4.34 David R. Burton

No, I do not know why one of the authors is listed down here too. Yes, I do think it’s weird.

4.35 Jonathan Butcher

Butcher is an anti-trans, Christian extremist from The Heritage Foundation who despise education.

4.36 Mark Buzby

Busy buzzing bee Buzby signed with his own group, Buzby Maritime Associates. Yes, he did serve in an appointed position by Trump.

4.37 Margaret Byfield

Byfield likes fields is what I gathered from American Stewards of Liberty.

4.38 David Byrd

No idea what Korn Ferry is. Is that a midwestern gay making do? Regardless, yes, Byrd flew in the Trump administration.

4.39 Anthony Campau

He’s been camping out at Center for Renewing America from section 1 - 17. He also got to see Malania’s camp Christmas horror scenes because he worked for the Trump White House.

4.40 James Jay Carafano

If he cared about other people, he wouldn’t belong to The Heritage Foundation. He apparently was a leading part of the Trump transition team in 2016.

4.41 Frank Carroll

I thought Professional Forest Management wasn’t a group but just a general job description lol but turns out I was wrong.

4.42 Oren Cass

He writes a lot for American Compass, the stupid org from 1 - 3. He also looks like John Oliver in the profile pic they use for him on their website.

4.43 Brian J. Cavanaugh

Cav signed from American Global Strategies, whatever that is, but he comes from the Trump Administration.

4.44 Spencer Chretien

Chretien is apparently The Heritage Foundation’s associate director for Project 2025. He also happened to work for Trump.

4.45 Claire Christensen

Section 1 - 8 American Cornerstone Institute back at it again.

4.46 Victoria Coates

There won’t be a need for coats in the future The Heritage Foundation wants where climate change makes everything everywhere all at once too hot. Yes of course she worked for the Trump Administration.

4.47 Ellie Cohanim

Independent Women’s Forum, section 1 - 34, back at it again with a Trump appointee signing onto an a hate mongering, anti-constituional document.

4.48 Ezra Cohen

Nothing is funnier than googling a politico and google labelling them as an “internet personality.” Anywho, yes, he worked for Trump

4.49 Elbridge Colby

Elbridge leads Marathon Initiative, apparently a thinktank focused on combatting China. Or, sorry, CHYnya, as his former boss Trump would say.

4.50 Earl Comstock

Guess he invested stock in Trump because he worked for his administration.

4.51 Lisa Correnti

Oh, hi C-Fam, I almost didn’t see you there since we’re no longer in section 1 - 15. I believe she wrote one of the annoying articles in my sources.

4.52 Monica Crowley

You know when someone is from a group called The Nixon Seminar they’re probably a bit evil. And you have to be a bit evil, maybe with the last name Crowley, to work for the Trump Admin like she did.

4.53 Laura Cunliffe

More IWF, video section 1 - 34, more Trump workers signing onto this awful project.

4.54 Tom Dans

No idea what Amberwave Partners is, the group attached to his name here, but The Heritage Foundation sure does talk about how he worked for Trump.

4.55 Sergio de la Peña

Pena is a Trump Department of Defense dude.

4.56 Chris De Ruyter

Ruyter works for National Center for Urban Operations. Thanks for your service, also fuck you for signing onto this monstrosity.

4.57 Corey DeAngelis

American Federation for Children appears to be be short for “American Federation for Children to Go Without Proper Education.”

4.58 Caroline DeBerry

She’s no longer with Paragon Health Institute, the group her name was attached to when this was put out.

4.59 Arielle Del Turco

Ooh we’re at hate group Family Research Council now. So fun.

4.60 Irv Dennis

1 - 8 American Cornerstone Institute is back. Dennis is somehow worse than the Dennis in It’s Always Sunny because this one worked for Trump.

4.61 David Deptula

Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies. Far as I can tell, a veteran we should all be thankful for is endorsing horrible shit that would harm millions of Americans. Great.

4.62 Donald Devine

Look, another author getting placed in here twice. Why?

4.63 Chuck DeVore

A dude with vore in his name belonging to a group that starts with TP? Iconic. Texas Public Policy Foundation, by the way, and also signing onto this means the vore man cannot be iconic, only awful.

4.64 C. Wallace DeWitt

He’s a dude who’s out there.

4.65 James Di Pane

Heritage returns with a vengeance. Part of that is apparently kicking this dude out.

4.66 Matthew Dickerson

More Heritage, and another person they gave the boot to.

4.67 Michael Ding

Ah, 1 - 5 and racist Stephen Miller’s America First Legal Foundation.

4.68 David Ditch

At least we’re back to Heritage employees who haven’t left since this was put out there.

4.69 Natalie Dodson

Ethics and Public Policy Center, section 1 - 23, gives us this anti-woman, transphobic moron.

4.70 Dave Dorey

Dorey is of The Fairness Center. His Federalist Society bio implies he worked for the Trump Admin.

4.71 Max Eden

He hails from American Enterprise Institute. Glancing through his articles on their website, it’s shocking they didn’t sign onto Project 2025 because he’s pumping out articles for them aimed at railing against education and LGBT people. But hey, at least it doesn’t seem like he’s worked for Trump at all.

4.72 Troy Edgar

Edgar is one of those rare entries who works for an actual company, over at IBM Consulting. He’s not rare in that he also worked for the Trump admin.

4.73 Joseph Edlow

The Heritage Foundation gives us Edlow but working for the hategroup isn’t his low point because he also happened to work for Trump.

4.74 Jen Ehlinger

No idea what Booz Allen Hamilton is, the group attached to her name here, but I do know Ehlinger worked for Trump.

4.75 John Ehrett

This Senator Hawley worker gives new meaning to demon twink by signing onto the evil Project 2025.

4.76 Kristen Eichamer

The Heritage Foundation doesn’t have a bio for Eichamer but her LinkedIn is fairly detailed. She was the Deputy Press Sec for NASA for a bit during the Trump Admin. You may be wondering, does that count? Well, her own details say she managed daily comms with the White House so it’s safe to say she represents a connection either way.

4.79 Robert S. Eitel

Eitel is a Trump Education official signing on from section 1 - 22’s Defense of Freedom Institute for Policy Studies.

4.80 Will Estrada

Here’s a fun thing: the Mandate says Estrada is from Parents Rights Foundation but the org is Parental Rights Foundation. Typos and mistakes happen, but I think they’re fair game to shit on and make fun of when put out in serious political and governmental documents. Anywho, yes, he is a Trump hire.

4.81 Jon Feere

I fear Feere was already outed as a Trump employee when we covered Center for Immigration Studies in section 1 - 16.

4.82 Baruch Feigenbaum

He comes to us from Reason Foundation where they reason he has a really cool name but unfortunately he does it shame by signing onto Project 2025.

4.83 Travis Fisher

The Heritage Foundation sent him on a fishing trip because he doesn’t work for them anymore.

4.84 George Fishman

Speaking of fish: when we cast a rod at section 1 - 16, Center for Immigration Studies, we caught a Trump man in the Fishman.

4.85 Leslie Ford

She was part of hate group Heritage when she let them print her name on this hate doc but before that she wrote for the hate avatar and by that I mean Donald Trump.

4.86 Aharon Friedman

Federal Policy Group’s website is not secure so that’s fun. Anywho, he worked for Trump’s Treasury department

4.87 Bruce Frohnen

Gotta love it when a professor puts his name on a doc that despises education. He brings great honor to Ohio Northern University.

4.88 Joel Frushone

His LinkedIn indicates he worked for Trump’s Commerce Department.

4.89 Finch Fulton

Fulton flew in from Trump’s DoT.

4.90 Diana Furchtgott-Roth

Oh hey, she wrote a chapter. Next.

4.91 Caleigh Gabel

Gay is happy as in homosexual. Caleigh Gabel is is destructive as in a Trump worker coming to us via section 1 - 8’s American Cornerstone Institute.

4.92 Christopher Gacek

Gacek works for hate group FRC but does seem to have evaded the Trumpian stain.

4.93 Alexandra Gaiser

Gaiser signed with River Financial on her name but she’s no longer there. Speaker of places she used to be, uh-oh, she worked for Trump.

4.94 Mario Garza

Unfortunately I have no idea who this guy is.

4.95 Patty-Jane Geller

Oopsies, she no longer works for Heritage.

4.96 Andrew Gillen

He’s from TPPF, section 1 - 51 who seems to like P2025’s anger toward higher education.

4.97 James S. Gilmore III

He’s definitely not the third entry on this list to have served Trump. We’ll get to those numbers relatively soon.

4.98 Vance Ginn

Economic Consulting gives us our Trump connection from section 2 - 41’s Mississippi Center for Public Policy.

4.99 Alma Golden

She’s a throwback to 1 - 37 The Institute for Women’s Health and also a Trump worker.

4.100 Mike Gonzalez

Gonzalez is a Heritage guy who doesn’t appear to have been fired so that’s something.

4.101 Chadwick R. Gore

Defense Forum Foundation is who we have to thank for Gore’s appearance here, though DFF itself isn’t an advisory group for Project 2025.

4.102 David Gortler

Gorty boy is one of the minds behind Ethics and Public Policy Center, seen in section 1 - 23. Most of his bios online mention him working for the FDA but weren’t super detailed. This positive article about him from Antidote Europe clarifies that he was a White House appointee from the Trump Admin.

4.103 Brian Gottstein

The Heritage Foundation is really filling out the roster of those signing its extremist plans to reshape America into its Christian Nationalist Heaven.

4.104 Dan Greenberg

All the way back in section 1 - 20 we were introduced to Competitive Enterprise Institute. 2016 introduced us to the embarrassment of a Trump White House, for whom Greenberg worked.

4.105 Rob Greenway

Hudson Institute is next to his name but he doesn’t work there anymore. He was on Trump National Security Council so that’s fun.

4.106 Rachel Greszler

The Heritage Foundation gives us this lovely lady who would like to raise the retirement age.

4.107 DJ Gribbin

Madrus Consulting gave us this disc jockey who spun records for Trump.

4.108 Garrison Grisedale

This guy is named like a comicbook character. ACI from section 1 - 8. He worked for Trump’s HUD.

4.109 Joseph Grogan

Grogan is from the University of Southern California who worked for Trump in what appear to be important positions.

4.110 Andrew Guernsey

Guernsey doesn’t appear to have worked for Trump but he does work for and with conservative senators so here’s yet another reminder that this rot goes far beyond Trump.

4.111 Jeffrey Gunter

Republican Jewish Coalition member Gunter was a Trump appointed Ambassador.

4.112 Joe Guy

Club for Growth used to have something to do with this guy, pun intended, who now works for a conservative Rep but used to work for the Trump admin.

4.113 Joseph Guzman

I don’t know much about Guzman, but he co-chaired Trump’s Michigan campaign in 2016.

4.114 Amalia Halikias

The Heritage Foundation doesn’t have much about this employee of theirs but Joe Guy’s Club for Growth says she worked for Trump’s Homeland Security.

4.115 Gene Hamilton

America First Legal so we already know he worked for Trump. Next!

4.116 Richard Hanania

The prolific Twitter poster signed from his Center for the Study of Partisanship and Ideology. You may remember Hanania from his being a massive racist. I bet Heritage is so proud to have his name on their document.

4.117 Simon Hankinson

Hi. Simon is from Heritage. Simon wrote for Heritage a defense of conversion therapy becuase Simon Hankinson endorses the torture of queer people because Simon Hankinson is a bad person. Having his name right after Hanania’s is a bit on the nose.

4.118 David Harlow

I didn’t care to read through Harlow’s website but according to Politico, he worked for Trump’s EPA.

4.119 Derek Harvey

Harvey worked for Devin Nunes, the guy who tried to sue an internet cow. Harvey worked for the similarly out of his mind Trump.

4.120 Jason Hayes

At least his joint, Mackinac Center for Public Policy, is fun to say.

4.121 Jennifer Hazelton

Yes, she wrote a chapter. Yes she worked for Trump. No I don’t know why they list people multiple times.

4.122 Lou Heinzer

Who the hell are ya?

4.123 Edie Heipel

As mentioned in section 2 - 7, Heipel worked for Trump.

4.124 Troup Hemenway

PPO of part 1 - 47 gives Hemenway. As mentioned there, he worked for Trump.

4 .125 Nathan Hitchen

Interesting for someone from a group called Equal Rights Institute to sign onto a doc calling for discrimination against people.

4.126 Pete Hoekstra

Hoekstra heads the Michigan GOP. It’s almost like Project 2025 is an accurate representation of the conservative movement. Oh, and he was an ambassador for Trump.

4.127 Gabriella Hoffman

IWF is back. Hoffman is a writer, etc etc.

4.128 Tom Homan

Heritage man Homan was a Trump-ho in that he worked for the man.

4.129 Chris Horner

I believe it’s the guy from CEI. Moving right along.

4.130 Mike Howell

How does Howell play out into what we’re looking for? He’s a Heritage man from the Trump admin.

4.131 Valerie Huber

IWF and Trumpist Huber. Already talked about her.

4.132 Andrew Hughes

ACI man Hughes served in Trump’s HUD.

4.133 Joseph Humire

Center for a Secure Free Society, signing onto a doc that would like us to be a less free society, iconic.

4.134 Christopher Iacovella

American Securities Association, hope you’re happy to have one of your people championing this bullshit.

4.135 Melanie Israel

Heritage’s Israel worked for Cruz but not for Trump which means she has more of a spine than Cruz himself.

4.136 Ken Ivory

Ivory is a state elected in Utah. Next.

4.137 Roman Jankowski

From Trump’s Homeland Security to the Heritage Foundation.

4.138 Abby Jones

I’m going to guess it’s the same Abby Jones touted on Trump’s website as an Iowa endorser. Does that answer who the hell she is? Nope. But they’re connected I guess.

4.139 Emilie Kao

ADF hatred continues down the list. But I’m not letting it touch me so moving on.

4.140 Jared M. Kelson

Law firm Boyden Gray & Associates gets to have their name put on the doc by Kelson, a former Trump DOJ guy.

4.141 Aaron Kheriaty

EPPC gave us this “but I should be able to spread covid conspiracies and lies about science uwu” dude.

4.142 Ali Kilmartin

Hategroup ADF is home for Kilmartin who we already mentioned worked for Trump.

4.143 Julie Kirchner

Federation for American Immigration Reform spells out FAIR. You know, FAIR, a document advocating for discrimination and preferential treatment for Christians. Yes, she did work for Trump on immigration matters so you can imagine her opinions on what fairly treating her fellow human beings means.

4.145 Dan Kish

IER’s Kish did a bunch of work for Republicans in Congress but not Trump far as I can tell.

4.146 Kenneth A. Klukowski

Woo, an anti-gay lawyer from Trump world. History will not be kind to him, or, well, anyone named here.

4.147 Adam Korzeniewski

APP man who applied himself by doing the evil bidding of Trupm in his administration.

4.148 Kathy Nuebel Kovarik

Sagitta Solutions, I’m assuming this SS is also evil given that Kovarik worked for Trump’s ICE.

4.149 Bethany Kozma

Keystone Policy member and former Trump staffer.

4.150 Matthew Kozma

I believe this is the Matthew Kozma who worked for Trump’s Intelligence apparatus.

4.151 Julius Krein

The American Affairs guy may have denounced Trump after Charlottesville but apparently the extremism of Project 2025 is not a step too far for him which I think brings into question his motivation for that denunciation.

4.152 Stanley Kurtz

EPPC upper-lip removal model Kurtz is a skip. Next.

4.153 David LaCerte

Baker Botts baked a guy who worked for Trump and signed Project 2025. A very common and very poor tasting snack.

4.154 Paul J. Larkin

This Lark belongs to Heritage. Yes, birds are evil.

4.155 Kent Lassman

Yes, that’s the author. Moving on.

4.156 James R. Lawrence III

Envisage Law is, I suppose, proud of their little Trump employee who is the type of tired looking weird white guy that I’m unfortunately attracted to, so that’s like, five things going against him.

4.157 Paul Lawrence

He works for himself at Lawrence Consulting after having worked beforehand for the Trump administration.

4.158 Nathan Leamer

Targeted Victory was by his name but his LinkedIn says he doesn’t work for them anymore. I’m sure they love that their name is still part of the Mandate for Leadership. Anywho, yes, he worked for the Trump Admin over at the FCC.

4.159 David Legates

This former University of Delaware professor and professional climate denier was, in fact, hired by Trump.

4.160 Marlo Lewis

CEI’s Lewis seems to mostly exist to question any efforts to combat global warming but otherwise doesn’t matter. Next.

4.161 Ben Lieberman

Another CEI man. Another skip!

4.162 John Ligon

Looks like Ligon is a Trumpy baby. It’s almost exhausting how many Trump admin people are here. It kind of makes the whole Trump denunciation and game of pretend like it’s an extremist fringe group far removed form him and his circle a thing where everyone says “don’t worry about it” WINK.

4.163 Evelyn Lim

ACI’s Lim is also Trump’s Lim because she worked for his administration.

4.164 Mario Loyola

He’s from CEI but I clocked him earlier in the video when going over Heritage as a Trump White House person.

4.165 John G. Malcolm

He’s a Bushman, this Heritage guy, which means he would be popular on gay twitter.

4.166 Joseph Masterman

Cooper & Kirk is yet another lawfirm named here in the Mandate. That’s fun for them. Maybe don’t hire them if you care about the future of our democracy.

4.167 Earl Matthews

He’s here from the Vandenberg Coalition, a foreign policy outfit. Speaking of outfits, you know who’s bad at wearing them? His former boss Donald Trump.

4.168 Dan Mauler

Already mentioned him in the Heritage section but just reiterating here that he worked for both the hate group and for Trump.

4.169 Drew McCall

ACI’s McCall has his name in a Fox News article that lists him as a HUD employee for Ben Carson so I feel comfortable calling him a Trump worker.

4.170 Trent McCotter

Boyden Gray & Associates gives us this lawyer who, yupsies, worked for Trump.

4.171 Micah Meadowcroft

We talked about him with CRA but he put The American Conservative next to his name. Either way, we already know he’s a Trump man.

4.172 Edwin Meese III

He’s an old Heritage dude who was relevant long before I was born. So the rot in conservative politics is old and far reaching but we already knew that.

4.173 Jessica Melugin

From CEI. Sometimes I don’t have much to say but I’m including all of the names in this video to make sure I’m being thorough and to make sure these people are thoroughly shamed for their involvement well into the future because signing onto this document is shameful.

4.174 Frank Mermoud

Orpheus International seems to be tainting the good name of poor Orpheus.

4.175 Mark Miller

Maybe putting her name on this was somehow a step too far for Kristi Noem and that’s why she gave him the can.

4.176 Cleta Mitchell

Already talked about! Trump lawyer against democracy. Next.

4.177 Kevin E. Moley

The E stands for E was a Trump nominee and worker.

4.178 Caitlin Moon

American Center for Law & Justice gives us Moon’s name here but I’m not entirely sure if she’s the same Caitlin Moon I found via Googling so just gonna move right along…

4.179 Clare Morell

EPPC’s Morell is more of the Trump admin filling out this list and this video which I really wanted to be finished writing at this point.

4.180 Mark Morgan

Morgan is a Heritage guy who worked for Trump because why not work for two hateful entities?

4.181 Hunter Morgen

ACI’s Morgen is now at Ballard partners and used to be at the Trump White House where he worked for notorious racist Stephen Miller so that’s fun.

4.182 Rachel Morrison

Before joining the EPPC, it looks like Morrison was a Trumpison Republican.

4.183 Jonathan Moy

Moy is a Heritage boy. Sad!

4.184 Iain Murray

Murray is from CEI and lives in Virginia. Virginia is for lovers. Murray is apparently for haters.

4.185 Ryan Nabil

Nabil is, I believe, our first entry from the National Taxpayers Union. Anyway.

4.186 Michael Nasi

Another lawyer repping his lawfirm so another firm to sideeye. Congrats Jackson Walker!

4.187 Lucien Niemeyer/Lucian Niemeyer

It’s one thing to have typos. It’s another to spell someone’s name wrong. His name is with an A not an E in Lucian. They spelled it wrong. He has his own firm the Niemeyer Group, and he used to serve in Trump’s DOD.

4.188 Nazak Nikakhtar

Did you guess that she worked for Trump? If so, you’re good at pattern recognition which at this point says you should probably just assume most of these people worked for his administration or his campaign or were his lawyers. Nikakhtar? She was in the Commerce Department.

4.189 Milan “Mitch” Nikolich

Continuing that pattern, Nikolich worked for Trump’s DOD.

4.190 Matt O’Brien

Immigration Reform Law Institute gives us O’Brien as in Ohhhhh Brian I guess you’re evil.

4.191 Caleb Orr

This is our third Boyden Gray man. Hm.

4.192 Michael Pack

A filmmaker worked for Trump. I know, that’s really shocking sense conservatives as a whole seem entirely allergic to creating and engaging with culture, especially those who hate queer people, as you have to assume anyone who signs onto Project 2025 does. But yeah, a Trump appointee.

4.193 Leah Pedersen

Say it with me now: she worked for Trump.

4.194 Michael Pillsbury

The Pillsbury Dough Boy’s evil great uncle apparently works for Heritage.

4.195 Patrick Pizzella

Leadership Institute's Pizzella was a Trump Labor appointee.

4.196 Robert Poole

Reason Foundation’s Poole was swimming in the pools of a few presidents but none of them were Trump at least.

4.197 Christopher B. Porter

If it’s the same Porter, then he worked for Trump and Biden so I’m not inclined to include him but he did sign onto an extremist political manifesto, so on he goes.

4.198 Kevin Preskenis

Allymar Health Solutions apparently has a solution that is denying health care to women. That’s my guess since Preskenis here decided to associate them with Project 2025. Oh, and he worked for Trump.

4.199 Pam Pryor

National Committee for Religious Freedom sent Pryor and as we know, when conservatives say that, what they tend to mean is the freedoms for conservative Christians to force their religion on the rest of us. Also she worked for Trump.

4.200 Thomas Pyle

Pyle of IER is now of AEA and as said earlier of Trump.

4.201 John Ratcliffe

I guess if you’re looking for American Global Strategies, as the group’s name suggests, you might be interested in hiring one of Trump’s DNIs like Ratcliffe.

4.202 Paul Ray

Ray shines down as a shaft of darkness from Heritage and whose black hole was placed into the sky by his time working in the Trump Administration, which we already noted.

4.203 Joseph Reddan

Flexilis Forestry and whoever the hell this is.

4.204 Jay W. Richards

Heritage’s Richards is a vehement anti-trans hatemonger. He didn’t work for Trump but since the Mandate for Leadership practically reads as a Trump employment list, be on the lookout for him to be a skidmark wiped on America by a second Trump term if that happens, god-forbid.

4.205 Jordan Richardson

Richardson is a lawyer for the Heise Suarez Melville firm and a former Trump hire.

4.206 Jason Richwine

CIS gives us the IQ obsessed racist race-scientist Richwine who is rich in bullshit. Which of those two things do you think led to him being a Trump hire?

4.207 Shaun Rieley

Remember the stupid The American Conservative? He used to work for them.

4.208 Lora Ries

Yes, another Heritage Trump person I mentioned earlier. Next.

4.209 Leo Rios

No clue who you are but I like that your name rhymes.

4.210 Mark Robeck

He put down Energy Evolution Consulting. What’s important to note is that he was also a Trump Energy employee.

4.211 James Rockas

He performs the same type of rock as Kid Rock: annoying and bad. His hits are a replay from earlier: ACLJ Action and the Trump admin.

4.212 Mark Royce

Here we have another professor, this one from NOVA-Annandale Community College, signing onto a document that despise education. Good job dude.

4.213 Reed Rubinstein

Stan Lee making a conservative evil nuisance might cook up Rubinstein who we already mentioned is from America First Legal Foundation and Trump.

4.214 William Ruger

Ruger is the president of American Institute for Economic Research and a failed nominee for the president turned felon Donald Trump.

4.215 Austin Ruse

Ruse is the hate-mongering president of the hate group known as C-Fam. Ruse is the kind of person who likes making it illegal to be gay or talk about being gay so of course he loves Project 2025 which attempts to make it illegal to produce anything which mentions or includes trans people.

4.216 Brent D. Sadler

Thanks for your service but also you work for a hate group in Heritage and signed onto a document that aims to restrict and harm people so go to hell.

4.217 Alexander William Salter

Texas Tech has a professor signing onto a doc that hates education. I bet they’re so proud to have their name associated with it.

4.218 Jon Sanders

It’s interesting for this John Locke Foundation dude to go on in his bio about his love for literature and art and seemingly education while signing onto a doc that doesn’t understand or care about art and actively dislikes education.

4.219 Carla Sands

America First Policy Institute probably gives it away that she is from Trump land. She’s another one of his ambassadors that’ve signed onto Project 2025.

4.220 Robby Stephany Saunders

C-Pa strikes again. Or, well, it did, but she doesn’t work for them anymore. Speaking of people she briefly worked for, oh yeah, the Trump admin.

4.221 David Sauve

There is a decent handful of people with this name so I don’t know who this is but I’m going to guess it’s not the Canadian one.

4.222 Brett D. Schaefer

He’s been at Heritage for a longass time so you can bet he’s a pretty hateful person. Because I value my soul, I’m not going to stain it by looking too hard into him.

4.223 Nina Owcharenko Schaefer

Her name has already come up back when we went over Heritage but a reminder that she’s a Trump stooge.

4.224 Matt Schuck

ACI’s Shuck, according to Politico, once belonged to Trump’s HUD.

4.225 Justin Schwab

Schwab founded CGCN Law, signed onto Project 2025, and used to work for Trump’s EPA. I feel like those last two things should always stick onto CGCN and anyone considering hiring or working with them should be aware of the horrible things their head guy decided to endorse with their name attached.

4.236 Jon Schweppe

He works for APP and seems to have nothing else worth mentioning. Lame.

4.237 Marc Scribner

This scribble was drawn up by Reason Foundation. I guess he reasoned there was nothing to lose from attaching his name to a hate doc made by a hategroup.

4.238 Darin Selnick

Selnick signed with Selnick Consulting which is probably, ya know, him, so makes sense. He wasn’t making cents because he didn’t work for Trump’s treasury but he did work for Trump, yes.

4.239 Josh Sewell

Taxpayers for Common Sense have apparently decided that commons sense is doing stupid stuff like forcing Christian observance on workers and letting banks do whatever they want. Guess common sense can be pretty damn dumb.

4.240 Kathleen Sgamma

Sgamma is the president of Western Energy Alliance. I hope her fellows are okay with her allying their organization to an extremist political project.

4.241 Matt Sharp

Sharp works for the amazing hategroup Alliance Defending Freedom, a group deserving of all scorn from proper society.

4.242 Judy Shelton

Shelton comes from Independent Institute as in Trump tried to appoint her but she ended up independent because the senate didn’t confirm her. Ooopsies.

4.243 Nathan Simington

Simington is a current FCC commissioner stuck there by Trump. Given Project 2025 would like the FCC to make distribution of NSFW online illegale and considers the existence of Trans people to be pornography, I’d say it’s probably bad that Simington is in any position of power. His term is up at the end of 2025 and we need a President Harris and a Democratic senate to make sure he exits the FCC as soon as possible.

4.244 Loren Smith

Smith is sullying the name of Skyline Policy Risk Group, whoever they are, because you can guess they aren’t great at risk assessment when their President signs onto a hate document widely made fun of and denounced by the American public because its extreme ideas made the mistake of actually saying what conservatives want, things most people oppose. Oh, and yes, he did work for Trump.

4.245 Zack Smith

Another Heritage stooge. Hey, if you wanted the rest of the world to associate you with a hategroup, you’re doing excellent, my man.

4.246 Jack Spencer

Heritage’s list of hateful morons continues to pad the list of names in Project 2025

4.247 Adrienne Spero

Spero currently works for House Republicans because Project 2025 threads throughout the conservative movement. Before that, she worked for Trump. Crazy, I know.

4.248 Thomas W. Spoehr

He no longer works for Heritage. Good for him I guess but also shame on him for having ever worked for them.

4.249 Peter St Onge

No real saints would work for the Heritage Foundation. Sometimes playwrights name characters for what they are, like I had a teacher who spoke in malapropisms named Ms. Peak so misspeak. Other times, it’s irony. Like naming someone Saint when they work for a hate org.

4.250 Chris Stanley

The head of the Functional Government Initiative would apparently like to make the government no longer functional given that he’s endorsing the Mandate. Guess what? He’s a Trump appointee.

4.251 Paula M. Stannard

What do Trump and Bush have in common? They’re both immoral idiots who can’t speak coherently. They also both hired Paula Stannard at HHS.

4.252 Parker Stathatos

He signed on with TPPF who he wasn’t even affiliated with when the Mandate was published which really leads me to wonder about the basic competency of editors Paul Dans and Steven Groves. They’ve mispelled people’s names and now someone who wasn’t at an org when this was put out, and hadn’t been for an entire year by the time it was put out, has that org’s name next to his name. There have been edits to people’s names and the orgs next to them since the Mandate was originally put out, and yet Stathatos continues to have TPPF next to his.

4.253 William Steiger

Steiger is a double dipper who dipped his dumbass into the administrations of Bush the Younger and Donald Trump. You should maybe look into his Bush time to see how unprincipaled he might be.

4.254 Kenny Stein

Jill Stein is probably grateful people like Kenny Stein of the IER exist so she can’t be labelled the worst Stein in American politics. Speaking of contenders for the worst in US politics, he didn’t work for Trump, but he did work for Ted Cruz.

4.255 Corey Stewart

Hard to sully the name of your law firm when its your lawfirm named after your own sullied self. That framing means you can probably guess that yes of course he worked for Trump.

4.256 Mari Stull

Of course Stull signed onto Project 2025 because the whole “the government must be filled with partisan political appointees who do our bidding” thing is, allegedly, something she attempted to get going when she was in the Trump Admin. Regardless of if an actual list existed, she was investigated by the inspector general. “Stull harassed career employees who who she thought were ‘disloyal’ to President Trump” which led to “mistreatment and retaliation.” So Stull is an asocial asshole. Of course she was in the Trump admin. Of course she signed on to Project 2025. Conservative politicians love cruelty.

4.257 Katharine T. Sullivan

1792 Exchange and Sullivan being a Trump-person were already mentioned earlier, just reiterating that here.

4.258 Brett Swearingen

This lawyer from the firm Miller Johnson is hopefully prevented from fulfilling his name and Swearingen a second Trump admin, so please don’t allow Trump to get into office again, elsewise he might rehire this guy.

4.259 Michael Sweeney

I’m assuming this is the Michael Sweeney who works for previous entry Nathan Simington over at the FCC instead of the musical composer. Sweeney’s previous employer was, of course, Donald Trump.

4.260 Robert Swope

Swope is the rare creative type compelled to the cruelty of Trump and Project 2025, including helping lead Trump’s 2016 campaign in Tennessee.

4.261 Aaron Szabo

Szabo was with CGCN but no longer. He was also once with the Trump White House.

4.262 Katy Talento

Talento comes to us from AllBetter Health. Our health would certainly be better in the world where Project 2025 doesn’t come to pass and this former Trump official isn’t back in the White House.

4.263 Tony Tata

Stop that. It’s rude to laugh at people’s names. Anywho, we got to say tata to Tata when Trump losing meant he lost his jump at the DOD. Let’s keep it that way.

4.264 Farnaz Farkish Thompson

Thompson apparently likes stompin on the future of our children given that she worked for Trump’s DOE and signed onto the anti-education Mandate for Leadership.

4.265 Todd Thurman

Thurman is from ACI. I thought for a second I couldn’t find any info on him because ACI decided he isn’t worthy of a bio and he doesn’t have much of a presence elsewhere, but his name turns up in that list of Ben Caron HUD underlings so woo he worked for Trump because of course he did.

4.266 Brett Tolman

Tolman’s heyday was during the Bush days. I’ve mentioned it a few times already so I’m beating a dead horse I know, but thankfully dead horses are really easy to beat in a race. Tolman is a reminder that Project 2025 is not merely Trumpism. It isn’t merely Fringe far-right groups. It’s the extremism of the Republican project.

4.267 Kayla M. Tonnessen

She already came up earlier when we went over Recovery for America Now, but here’s a reminder that she too worked for Trump.

4.268 Joe Trotter

Doesn’t that name sound like he’s a more prominent US politician? Like, that’s the name any random representative on a US tv show would have. Homelander, this is Conressman Joe Trotter. But he’s actually not that important. Oops.

4.269 Tevi Troy

He’s on here with the Mercatus Center but Troy doesn’t mention it anywhere so I think they’re not associated any longer. Anywho, he’s a Bush baby and not a Trump tot.

4.270 Clayton Tufts

Tufty has a decent bit of government experience under his belt. That includes working for the admin of the guy who grabs women below the belt, Donald Trump.

4.271 Erin Valdez

Guess who quit TPPF to join that dumb fucking Bari Weiss university? Erin Valdez. It speaks great for University of Austin to have a worker signing onto a doc that despises higher education. It’s almost like they also don’t like education and this is all an elaborate performance grfit by conservatives preying on young people and their dumbass parents.

4.272 Mark Vandroff

This creepy van parked itself in the employee parking lot of world famous sex creep Donald Trump.

4.273 Jessica M. Vaughan

Do you think she’s angry that she works for CIS because it spells cis? Being that she signed onto a heavily transphobic manifesto, I bet so. It’d be so terrible if this was pointed out to her a whole bunch.

4.274 John “JV” Venable

Oopsies, Heritage gave him the can despite being next to his name here.

4.275 Morgan Lorra2ine Viña

She used to be with the Jewish Institute for National Security of America. She also used to be with Nikki Haley’s doomed Presidential run, probably because she worked for Haley when she was an ambassador. This was one of several roles she had in the Trump admin.

4.276 Andrew N. Vollmer

Vollmer is a retired lawyer dude who is very old.

4.277 Hans A. von Spakovsky

Yes, he is an author, yes we already know he’s connected to Trump, yes we’re moving on.

4.278 Greg Walcher

Greggy-poo is the president of Natural Resources Group. Did you catch the pun in that sentence? I know, I’m so funny.

4.279 David M. Walsh

Takota Group’s Walsh is a person who exists? Maybe? Maybe the M stands for Missing.

4.280 Erin Walsh

Heritage’s Walsh meanwhile is someone I mentioned five years ago near the start of the video as someone in Trump world.

4.281 Jacklyn Ward

She’s from ACI and if you set up wards to keep out bad spirits, since she signed onto P2025, you’ll be able to keep her out.

4.282 Emma Waters

Waters apparently baptized herself in putrid and hateful waters given that she works for Heritage.

4.283 Michael Williams

Williams is from ACI. He had a handful of positions in the Trump admin. We are so close to being done.

4.284 Aaron Wolff

There are a handful of Aaron Wolffs out there, a pack you could say, and I’m sure whichever one of them signed onto this considers themselves the alpha of that pack but I have no idea which one he is.

4.285 Jonathan Wolfson

This little omega cub was off chasing Trump like he was an alpha with strong pheromones. To translate that out of omegaverse speak: he worked in the Trump admin.

4.286 Alexei Woltornist

The co-founder of ATHOS, so everyone avoid and shun that org, worked in two Trump departments because he felt the need to double dip himself into the vat of awful.

4.287 Frank Wuco

Of course Wuco signs onto Project 2025 because Wuco is a birther which means he’s both a racist conspiracy conservative and a former Trump Admin employee.

4.288 Cesar Ybarra

He no longer works for FreedomWorks because he’s with the Freedom Caucus in the US House. If you know anything about the Freedom Caucus it’s that it contains the more insane section of the elected GOP. Ybarra’s penchant for jobs with freedom in the title is ironic given that he signed onto a doc that would like to take away the freedom of his fellow citizens.

4.289 John Zadrozny

He’s from mega-racist Stephen Miller’s America First Legal Foundation so you know he’s going to turn out to have worked for the Trump Administration. And he did.

4.290 Laura Zorc

Once upon a time she was another one of those FreedomWorks people advocating to take away freedom from her fellow citizens. The trend of her life is working around education so of course her life would be much easier if Project 2025 came to pass because education would be basically non-existent.


And oh my god we finally made it through all the signatories published in the mandate. It’s over. It’s finally over!
