The following collection of quotes from Project 2025 includes all the significant mentions of religion, faith-based organizations, and even the Sabbath.

The section on the Department of Health and Human Services even has …
On debate night Donald Trump and President Biden were tied in the national polls at 41 percent, with Kennedy at 9 percent (!), according to pretty good polling website fivethirtyeight.com.

“Everyone talks about the weather, but no one does anything about it,” said Mark Twain. In the global warming era I’m not sure that’s still true. We’ve done something about it. But it’s a good segue to “Everyone talks about the Supreme Court’s recusal problem, including me here last time, but no one does anything …
