Project 2025 talks a lot about protecting Americans' religious rights and stopping discrimination based on religion, but a look through the lengthy project plan makes it clear that not all religions are included in this vision.
While the project mentions protecting Christians for their religious beliefs a number of times (see for example pages 4, 453, 560, and more), it only mentions Jews in the vague context of "Judeo-Christian values". It doesn’t mention protection for Muslims, Buddhists, Sikhs, or any other religions. In fact, it specifically recommends giving employers the right to discriminate based on religion.
At a time when Antisemitic and Islamophobic attacks in the United States are on the rise, the report makes sure to mention attacks on Christians in the Middle East (page 185), but doesn't mention the word "Antisemitism" a single time in the report. Islam is only mentioned in the context of fear-mongering about "Islamic terror". Other minority religions aren't mentioned at all.
Issue an executive order protecting religious employers and employees. The President should make clear via executive order that religious employers are free to run their businesses according to their religious beliefs, general nondiscrimination laws notwithstanding.
![A set of bar graphs depicting the effects of overtime on a worker's paycheck. At the top, a snippet from Project 2025 reads: "Attention: Republican Agenda. Specifically, employers...should be able to set a two or four week period over which to calculate overtime. This...would not require the employer to pay [employees] more for that same total number of hours of work during the entire period."
Underneath on the left is a set of green bars depicting Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, and Week 4.
In Week One, there is a darker shaded section pointing out that the worker has worked more than 40 hours and is eligible for overtime.
Week 2 is a little less than 40 hours, and the last two weeks are normal (40 hours).
At the bottom of this set of bars, a summary reads: "You're paid overtime for EVERY week over time, regardless of other weeks."
On the right, a set of red bar graphs depicting Week 1 through 4. In Week 1, the employee has clearly worked more than 40 hours based on the long bar, but there is no overtime shading.
Week 2 is less than 40, and Week 3 and 4 are both 40.
At the bottom of this set of bars, a summary reads: "Your employer will AVERAGE weeks together...and you won't get paid."
A Republican win in November means: Same hours. No overtime.
