• 🔍 A CBS News analysis found that roughly one-third of these orders directly matched language or policy proposals in Project 2025.

Direct Matches and Similarities

Indirect Connections and Divergences

• ⚠️ Approximately one-third of the enacted orders were not mentioned in Project 2025 at all, including those related to showerhead pressure and paper straws.
• 🚫 Interestingly, five orders directly oppose Project 2025, such as the delay in banning TikTok, a measure Project 2025 supported.
