President Trump’s barrage of sweeping executive orders have broad implications for the federal government, higher education, business, and other institutions. And they also affect you and your family.

To help make sense of these sweeping edicts, LDAD has launched an important new series, published in the Fulcrum, to explain the authoritarian roots of these orders in Project 2025 and how they fit within an overall plan to dismantle democracy.

LDAD's deep dives into the actual impacts of this frenetic activity will analyze how the administration’s demolition of the federal government weakens the enforcement of legal protections that are more likely to cause harm to American families while benefiting wealthier individuals. We will also show how the overbroad elimination of regulations will increase harmful practices and reduce public health and safety, and how these dramatic cuts will have direct impacts on individuals.

We will continue to inform you of updates as new segments of this series are released.
