Play # 1: We All Say No To Project 2025 

We have to be real: for the next two years, a Republican White House and Congress will have the power to set the federal agenda, but they do not have the power to impose that agenda on the rest of us unilaterally. Trump’s team will start trying to move parts of Project 2025 on day one. They’ll unleash a barrage of dangerous executive orders, appoint vile Cabinet nominees, and ask Congress to move swiftly on legislation to advance their priorities. How much of it they complete depends on Congress, the (heavily compromised) courts, and public opinion. That’s where we come in.

Once Trump enters office, we’re going to pick some national battles -- places where we can land a win that stops harm, where the fate of democratic institutions is at stake, or where we think that fighting back helps to energize our coalition and fracture theirs politically. That might be a fight to stop Congress from gutting our healthcare or passing a trillion-dollar tax giveaway to billionaires. It might be a political prosecution of a Trump enemy. It might be a fight that we don’t even know is happening yet. But we should be prepared for them to start fast -- literally within the first few days of taking office.

What are we going to do? We’ll fight to win, to delay, or to land a political blow. We’ll push Democrats to stand in lockstep opposition, hold Republicans accountable every step of the way for unpopular actions, and tell the story of what’s happening — with a focus on the tangible ways it’s causing harm to regular people. Together, we’ll show that it’s possible to fight Trump to a draw and sometimes score a win — and in doing so, we’ll set the stage for 2026.

What can we achieve if we do this?

• Delay, distract, and limit attacks. The Trump administration has a limited number of people, a limited number of hours in the day, and a limited number of legislative days for Congress. Every hour of delay is an hour that they’re not moving on to their next horrible agenda item.

• Win (sometimes). Trump has an extremely narrow majority in the House -- far smaller than his 2017 majority -- and a 53-47 Senate is still very tight. If Democrats are united in opposition, he’ll need to hold his entire caucus to pass any legislation at all. And while the Trump administration rarely backed down in response to public pressure, they did occasionally. We won’t be able to stop all or even most of what he tries — but we can stop some of it.

• National backlash builds. Trump’s agenda is chock-full of policies that will cause direct harm to regular Americans — but that doesn’t mean they’ll hear about it or know who’s to blame. From the very beginning, organized political opposition is how we tell the story of what’s happening, fracture Trump’s unstable coalition, and build ours.
