The report—"Saving America by Saving the Family: A Foundation for the Next 250 Years"—focuses on marriage, family and the American Dream, and has become widely known as "Project 2026," a follow-up to Heritage's infamous Project 2025 blueprint. Project 2025 clocked in at 900 pages; the sequel is around 150. We read the whole thing and pulled out the passages that gave us chills, made us laugh out loud, compelled us to suddenly need to take a long walk and hug our dogs, or inspired another donation to our local abortion fund.

And because, as former Vice President Kamala Harris famously said about Project 2025: "Can you believe they put that thing in writing?" They did—twice now! This is the roadmap they're offering. These documents tell us how their authors understand the country, the family and women's place in both. We should know what it says. The post Can You Believe They Put This in Writing?
