Project 2025, is a 900-plus page blueprint for a conservative President. It was unveiled in the spring of 2023, well before Donald Trump had won the republican presidential nomination.
It outlined a suite of very conservative policies that would, for example, outlaw the mailing of abortion pills and abolish the department of education. It even suggests a return to the gold standard.
It became a democratic talking point, so much so that Trump repeatedly distanced himself from the plan and the authors.
But now that Trump is in office, releasing his own detailed plans. A lot of them are strikingly similar to the ones laid out in Project 2025. And one of its chief architects is now the head of the critical Office of Management and Budget.
Trump disavowed Project 2025 during the campaign. Now, as President, is he using it as a playbook?

Up First from NPR - When Chatbots Play Human
Increasingly, tech companies like Meta and Character.AI are giving human qualities to chatbots. Many have faces, names and distinct personalities. Some industry watchers say these bots are a way for big tech companies to boost engagement and extract increasing amounts of information from users. But what's good for a tech company's bottom line might not be good for you. Today on The Sunday Story from Up First, we consider the potential risks to real humans of forming "relationships" and sharing data with tech creations that are not human.

Consider This from NPR - Is there a Trump Doctrine for Foreign Policy?
A lot of labels have been applied to Trump's foreign policy approach. America First, Isolationist, transactional, imperialist, protectionist. "I'm a nationalist and a globalist" he told the Wall Street Journal during his first term.
In his inaugural address last month, Trump made comments suggesting his foreign policy will be characterized by restraint, saying, in part, success should be defined by the "wars we never get into."
Yet in the same address, he also said, the United States will take back the Panama Canal.
In his first campaign, Trump ran on the idea that the cycle of the United States intervening in the Middle East should come to an end.
And on Tuesday of this week, he said that the U.S. will "take over" the Gaza Strip, after relocating the Palestinians, who live there.
Trump has promised a new approach to American foreign policy. Is there a Trump Doctrine? And what is it?
