The Heritage Foundation has the 800+ page Project 2025 posted online. It outlines the steps to be taken when President Trump takes office. While Trump recently said he knows nothing about Project 2025, this is clearly untrue [how unexpected]. Many of the authors of sections of the report worked in the Trump administration.
I recently read someone who suggested downloading a copy of the report because now that it is getting attention in the media and is likely to become a target in the president campaign, they might take it down. So I've downloaded it and you can download it here. I promise you this will become the focus of much attention in the election.
As I said, there are over 800 pages. So as my first blog post about this (well I think I've mentioned it), I'm just offering you the table of contents.
My value added is that I'm adding to each author a link to info about them.
But I warn you. As I'm doing this I realize that somebody - the Heritage Foundation? - appears to have done a good job of scrubbing info about these people off the internet. Others are highlighted on friendly websites, like the Heritage Foundation itself. But even there you can get information. Newspaper articles and government documents are still up in some cases.
So minimally you'll get a sense of who these people are, but Google searches don't net much on these folks, except the most well known. The Wikipedia entries often have lots of footnotes that take you to more information.

When I was about halfway through this list, Google got me to this Twitter thread, that was written to point out that while Trump claims to know nothing about Project 2025, many, if not most, of the authors were in his administration. Most significantly, he adds photos.
Trump is desperately claiming he has “no idea who is behind” Project 2025.

Here are some of the top Trump advisors and allies who are behind his Project 2025 agenda.
