Project 2025 Private Training Video: Conserving America ProPublica 2024-08-10 | ProPublica and Documented obtained more than 14 hours of never-before-published videos from Project 2025’s Presidential Administration Academy, which are intended to train the next conservative administration's political appointees “to be ready on day one.” Project 2025, the controversial playbook and policy guide created by the Heritage Foundation for a future conservative presidential administration, has lost its director. In recent weeks, it faced scathing criticism from both Democratic groups and former President Donald Trump, whose campaign has tried to distance itself from the effort. But Project 2025’s plan to train an army of political appointees who could battle against the so-called deep state government bureaucracy remains on track. For transparency, we are publishing the videos as we obtained them. The Heritage Foundation and most of the people who appear in the videos cited in our story did not respond to ProPublica’s repeated requests for comment. Karoline Leavitt, a spokesperson for the Trump campaign, said, “As our campaign leadership and President Trump have repeatedly stated, Agenda 47 is the only official policy agenda from our campaign.”In this video, Matthew Spalding, a vice president at Hillsdale College, sets out the landscape for the Presidential Administration Academy by talking about common conservative principles. Hillsdale College is a small, Christian liberal arts school in Michigan known both for its great books curriculum, which is centered on reading the classics of the Western canon, and for having been a feeder of staffers for the Trump administration.Read our full story at: https://propub.li/4cBfYcp -ProPublica is an independent, nonprofit newsroom that produces investigative journalism with moral force.+ Donate to support our work: https://propub.li/3WE9AMv+ Sign up for our weekly newsletter: http://propub.li/2oyN8DY + Follow us on X/Twitter: twitter.com/propublica+ Follow us on Instagram: instagram.com/propublica+ Follow us on TikTok: tiktok.com/@propublica+ Follow us on Facebook: facebook.com/propublica + Follow us on Threads: threads.net/@propublica+ Follow us on Mastodon: https://newsie.social/@ProPublica+ Follow us on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/propublica.bsky.social+ Join our WhatsApp broadcast channel: https://propub.li/whatsapp

Segregation 60 Years Apart #macongeorgia #Georgia #schoolchoice ProPublica 2024-08-22 | In a new ProPublica short documentary, Samaria “Cookie” Mitcham Bailey and her great-granddaughter Zo’e Johnson reflect on their experiences in a town where schools are still largely segregated.
A Georgia Family Wrestles With School Choice 60 Years After Desegregation ProPublica 2024-08-22 | In 1964, Samaria “Cookie” Mitcham Bailey was among the first Black students to desegregate public schools in Macon, Georgia. Sixty years later, her 13-year old great-granddaughter, Zo’e Johnson, attends First Presbyterian Day, a predominantly white private school that opened as white families fled desegregation.Researchers call schools like these “segregation academies” and say they have diverted funds from public education, perpetuating poverty and inequality.Cookie hoped that her work desegregating schools would lead to more equal educational opportunities for future generations. Yet, when Zo’e began to have problems at her local public middle school, her family searched for options. Almost all were schools that remain largely segregated.With the help of a state voucher-like tuition grant, Cookie has paid for Zo’e’s seventh grade year at the school. But she’s not sure she can continue to afford it. This short documentary explores the challenge the family now faces.Read their full story here: https://propub.li/4cA9p9Q#macongeorgia #georgia #schoolchoice #blackstories #school #middleschool #south #schoollife #family #tennis #choices -ProPublica is an independent, nonprofit newsroom that produces investigative journalism with moral force.+ Donate to support our work: https://propub.li/3WE9AMv+ Sign up for our weekly newsletter: http://propub.li/2oyN8DY + Follow us on X/Twitter: twitter.com/propublica+ Follow us on Instagram: instagram.com/propublica+ Follow us on TikTok: tiktok.com/@propublica+ Follow us on Facebook: facebook.com/propublica + Follow us on Threads: threads.net/@propublica+ Follow us on Mastodon: https://newsie.social/@ProPublica+ Follow us on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/propublica.bsky.social+ Join our WhatsApp broadcast channel: https://propub.li/whatsapp

Project 2025 Private Training Video: Social Media Messaging ProPublica 2024-08-10 | ProPublica and Documented obtained more than 14 hours of never-before-published videos from Project 2025’s Presidential Administration Academy, which are intended to train the next conservative administration's political appointees “to be ready on day one.” Project 2025, the controversial playbook and policy guide created by the Heritage Foundation for a future conservative presidential administration, has lost its director. In recent weeks, it faced scathing criticism from both Democratic groups and former President Donald Trump, whose campaign has tried to distance itself from the effort. But Project 2025’s plan to train an army of political appointees who could battle against the so-called deep state government bureaucracy remains on track. For transparency, we are publishing the videos as we obtained them. The Heritage Foundation and most of the people who appear in the videos cited in our story did not respond to ProPublica’s repeated requests for comment. Karoline Leavitt, a spokesperson for the Trump campaign, said, “As our campaign leadership and President Trump have repeatedly stated, Agenda 47 is the only official policy agenda from our campaign.”In this video, Ben Friedmann explains how political appointees can most effectively use social media to advance conservative policies and messages.Friedmann is a former deputy assistant secretary for digital strategy in the State Department’s Bureau of Global Public Affairs.Read our full story at: https://propub.li/4cBfYcp -ProPublica is an independent, nonprofit newsroom that produces investigative journalism with moral force.+ Donate to support our work: https://propub.li/3WE9AMv+ Sign up for our weekly newsletter: http://propub.li/2oyN8DY + Follow us on X/Twitter: twitter.com/propublica+ Follow us on Instagram: instagram.com/propublica+ Follow us on TikTok: tiktok.com/@propublica+ Follow us on Facebook: facebook.com/propublica + Follow us on Threads: threads.net/@propublica+ Follow us on Mastodon: https://newsie.social/@ProPublica+ Follow us on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/propublica.bsky.social+ Join our WhatsApp broadcast channel: https://propub.li/whatsapp
