Chapter & Verse

Project 2025's Mandate for Leadership is 920 pages and 30 chapters, written in 2023, largely by people who now run the agencies. This is a chapter-by-chapter map of what it proposed against what is actually in court now, with the exact page cite for every claim.

How to read it. Every link is labeled. Direct the chapter names a specific instrument that is now in litigation, quoted with a page cite. Convergent the administration is doing something recognizably in the chapter's direction, but the chapter names no instrument, so "consistent with," never "called for." Absent live litigation with no counterpart in the chapter, recorded on purpose. We never claim Project 2025 caused a filing; what is shown is that a named author wrote a proposal and a matching action is now in court.
