Project 2025 Is Here: April 22nd
This week, we look at Turning Point USA pitching a $500,000 one-on-one with Trump three days before filling only two-thirds of a Phoenix megachurch, the administration installing Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy on the U.S. Arctic Research Commission after 16 months of personnel changes and science cuts that track Project 2025 policies line by line, and Amazon briefly pulling The Camp of the Saints — the Great Replacement novel whose new introduction is written by a Russell Vought protégé — before reversing itself in 72 hours.
Our blog series provides essential updates on how Project 2025’s authoritarian blueprint is being enacted. Now you can view all of our Project 2025 blog posts in one convenient place on our website, including our Project 2025 page in Spanish to ensure broader access for Spanish-speaking audiences following these developments. We encourage you to explore this series to stay informed, engaged, and up to date on how this agenda continues to unfold.
New from GPAHE: Neo-Nazi and Extremist Connections Emerging Related to Perpetrator of Deadly Shooting in Mexico
A deadly shooting at Teotihuacán, Mexico’s pyramids exposes the growing violence emanating from extremist online subcultures. A self-identified Nazi sympathizer carried out an attack on April 20, a date tied to both Adolf Hitler’s birthday and the anniversary of the Columbine High School massacre, killing one person and injuring more than a dozen. Emerging evidence, including AI-generated imagery referencing past attackers associated with the “True Crime Community” network, suggests the perpetrator’s actions were shaped by a hybrid of neo-Nazi beliefs and online ecosystems that glorify mass violence, highlighting how these digital ecosystems are leading to acts of terror.
New from GPAHE: The Far Right Attempts to Hijack Irish Fuel Protests
Fuel protests in Ireland, sparked by a sharp rise in costs, have become a target for far-right actors seeking to redirect public anger toward immigration and conspiracy-driven narratives. While many demonstrators have resisted these efforts, figures including Conor McGregor and Tommy Robinson have amplified divisive rhetoric, reflecting a broader pattern in which economic crises are leveraged to normalize extremist messaging, target migrants and deepen political polarization.
New from GPAHE: AfD Invited a White Nationalist Organization and a German Neo-Nazi to Speak at the European Parliament
Germany’s far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) is bringing extremists into core European institutions, inviting the white nationalist group Ein Prozent and figures tied to neo-Nazi organizations to speak inside the European Parliament under the guise of addressing “left-wing extremism.” With help from AfD, Europe’s parliament is being used to legitimize extremist actors and advance conspiracy-driven narratives. The episode points to a strong effort to embed far-right networks within European political structures and extend their influence across borders.
New from GPAHE: The Empire Strikes Out: The Continued Unraveling of Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA
Seven months after Charlie Kirk’s death, TPUSA is showing clear signs of fracture. Once a cornerstone of conservative youth organizing, the group is now facing electoral losses, rejection on college campuses, internal purges under Erika Kirk, and pressure from the far-right. Its ability to operate as a political machine is increasingly in doubt, raising deeper questions about the future direction of the movement it helped build.
NPR – What Orban’s loss means for far right movements around the world
Orbán’s defeat is raising new questions about the fallout for far-right movements and institutions his government promoted and funded. But his influence in the U.S. runs deeper than many Americans realize. As Heidi Beirich, co-founder of GPAHE, notes, Project 2025, Trump’s policy roadmap, draws directly on ideas modeled in Orbán’s Hungary: “They took ideas around migration, a hardcore migration position, anti-LGBTQ policies, the anti-woke kind of idea that, you know, tech companies should not be regulating hate speech. These are all ideas that were lifted from Orban and imported into the United States.”
