New from GPAHE: Faith, Power, and Project 2025: Trump’s Christian Nationalist Agenda Takes Form
Donald Trump’s creation of the White House Faith Office and the “anti-Christian bias” task force is part of a dangerous strategy to embed Christian Nationalism within the federal government. Led by Paula White-Cain, a key figure in Trump’s religious circle, these moves reflect the radical agenda of Project 2025. This initiative aims to reshape U.S. governance by merging religious ideology with state power, threatening the separation of church and state and undermining democracy.

New from GPAHE: After GPAHE Reporting, Instagram Deplatforms Nazi Content but Leaves Spanish Versions Up
A recent investigation by GPAHE uncovered widespread Nazi content on Instagram, including accounts promoting extremist merchandise and antisemitic propaganda. While Meta removed some posts following the report, Spanish-language hate speech and harmful content still remain. Meta’s selective policy enforcement and incompetence in non-English languages raises serious concerns about its commitment to combat extremism and the spread of dangerous ideologies.

New from GPAHE: Trump’s Executive Power Grab Mirrors that of Other Authoritarians He Has Praised
Trump’s recent actions, driven by Project 2025, follow the authoritarian playbooks of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and Russian President Vladimir Putin. His moves to purge the federal workforce, dismantle agencies, attack the free press, demonize marginalized communities, and restrict civil rights echo the tactics used by these leaders to centralize power and undermine their countries’ democracies. As Trump follows in these authoritarians’ footsteps, both of whom he has personally praised, the U.S. sees further signs of a dangerous shift in the U.S. towards authoritarianism.

GPAHE in the News: Over the past week, we’ve spoken with several international media outlets to discuss the implications of recent developments and the impact of Trump’s return on the growth of far-right extremism and authoritarianism here and abroad.
USA Today: Sheriff? Congress? Criminal Justice reformer? Freed Proud Boys leaders have big plans
GPAHE’S take: Following their early release, top Proud Boys leaders are positioning themselves for political office, with some pursuing roles in government and others advocating for criminal justice reform. Despite their convictions for their actions, they continue to deny Jan. 6 was an insurrection, aligning with a broader GOP effort to rewrite the attack’s history.
The Guardian: Revealed: how a shadowy group of far-right donors is funding federal employee watchlists
GPAHE’s take: A new investigation reveals that a far-right nonprofit, backed by Project 2025 architects and wealthy conservative donors, is creating blacklists targeting federal employees—particularly people of color. The American Accountability Foundation’s “DEI Watch Lists” identify public servants over diversity initiatives, fueling fears of a broader ideological purge. With funding obscured by dark money channels and ties to influential right-wing groups, the effort raises serious concerns about political targeting in government.
