Allan Smith and Vaughn Hillyard at NBC News:

President-elect Donald Trump and his allies disavowed the conservative Project 2025 during the election, seeing the conservative transition plan and policy blueprint as a liability after Democrats used it to attack his campaign. Some close to Trump even suggested those tied to the effort would be shut out of a potential administration. “They made themselves nuclear,” Howard Lutnick, the co-chair of Trump’s transition and his nominee to serve as Commerce Secretary, told CNBC in September. But with the campaign over, Trump’s transition team is turning to Project 2025 to help staff the next administration. Already, transition officials are taking suggestions for potential hires from the extensive personnel database created by Project 2025, a person familiar with the situation told NBC News. While Project 2025’s massive book of conservative policy recommendations received most of the attention from Democrats, a central part of the effort was putting together a database that officials had framed as a conservative LinkedIn to help staff an incoming Republican administration.

The person familiar with the transition said officials overseeing plans for some departments and agencies have started to reach out to potential hires whose names and contact information were part of that database. Individuals helping to fill out the personnel teams for the Trump transition operation have sought and used information from the Project 2025 database because of the enormity of the task of filling out the more than 4,000 political appointee jobs that will become vacant in 2025, this person said. “There’s a lot of positions to fill and we continue to send names over, including ones from the database as they are conservative, qualified and vetted,” the person, who worked on Project 2025, said. “Hard to find 4,000 solid people, so we are happy to help.” The receptiveness to using the Project 2025 database for potential hires comes as the transition has already shown it is open to tapping contributors to the effort for administration jobs, including Tom Homan as border czar, Brendan Carr as chairman of the Federal Communications Commission and John Ratcliffe as CIA director. Both Homan and Ratcliffe were listed as contributors to Project 2025, while Carr wrote a chapter on the FCC.

Additionally, former Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought, a Project 2025 author who also served as the Republican National Committee’s platform policy director, is thought of as a potential administration pick, too. But not everyone is being welcomed aboard. Politico reported Thursday that the transition rejected a push for former Trump administration official Roger Severino, who wrote Project 2025’s chapter on the Department of Health and Human Services, to serve as deputy secretary of the agency, over concerns about the anti-abortion policies he laid out in the policy blueprint.  The personnel database was a cornerstone of Project 2025. Under Paul Dans, a former Trump administration official who led Project 2025, the group built a database of more than 10,000 candidates vetted for their MAGA credentials who would build out the administration in the event Trump won, as ProPublica reported in August. The idea behind the effort was to ensure that a future Trump administration would have the foot soldiers necessary to rapidly enact his agenda upon taking office.

[...] Project 2025 played a huge role in Democratic campaign advertising and in the party’s anti-Trump message during both President Joe Biden’s and Vice President Kamala Harris’ bids, sparking Trump and his allies to ratchet up their condemnations and claim the policy agenda was not Trump’s. 

There was plenty of overlap between the Trump agenda and Project 2025 — which featured contributions from dozens of officials from Trump’s first administration. For instance, the Project 2025 policy blueprint and Trump’s “Agenda 47” featured similar ideas on mass deportations and slashing the federal bureaucracy. There were some differences, though, as Project 2025 included calls for banning pornography and dismantling the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. It also featured stringent anti-abortion rights policies that clashed with Trump’s abortion message during the campaign. At a July campaign event in Grand Rapids, Trump said people on “the severe right came up with this Project 2025.” “Very, very conservative,” he said. “Sort of the opposite of the radical left. You have the radical left and the radical right. They came up with this. I don’t know what it is. … Then you read some of these things and they are seriously extreme. But I don’t know anything about it. I don’t want to know anything about it.”

Remember when Donald Trump claimed to “disavow” Project 2025 during the campaign? Pepperidge Farm Remembers.

Now, he is using Project 2025 authors to staff up his administration.

Key Players in Donald Trump's Administration

GOP — Trump — EXPANDING the Swamp…

Well, that was a surprise twist — to see/read/hear about this new non-existent Department of Government Efficiency. One that is to be led by gulp, such (cough, cough) wonderful individuals: Vivek Ramaswamy & Elon Musk Was it not stated for many, MANY, MANY years that a certain party, and certain individuals over these years would come to Washington, DC and DRAIN the swamp. What’s that you say,…

Ben Makuch at The Guardian:

When he appeared on a Fox News panel days after the presidential election, smirking and answering questions about his potential role in President-elect Donald Trump’s administration, it was already a very good week for Senator Marco Rubio. “He’s going to make great choices,” said Rubio, avoiding any definitive answers. “He had really good people working with him the first time and he’s got really good people working on it now.” Of course, Rubio has now been tapped to become the next secretary of state, joining a growing list of cabinet appointments who were either regular fixtures or paid contributors to Fox News – the once embattled broadcaster now primed to win big under a second Trump presidency. On election night it was Rupert Murdoch’s network that absolutely decimated CNN, scoring millions more viewers than its rival. While one Fox News host described Trump as “a phoenix from the ashes”, the positive vibes that night were a far cry from 2020, when the network enraged him by declaring Arizona for Joe Biden.

Before its recent gain in viewership, Fox News has had a recently tumultuous run: the libelous Dominion voting machine scandal cost it $787.5m; it bled audiences to rightwing upstarts NewsMax and One American News Network (OANN); and then there was the infamous firing of the popular prime-time host Tucker Carlson. But with Trump laying the foundations of a Fox News-inspired White House, the question is: how much of a role will the media company play in the new presidency? “Now that he is back in office, compared to networks like NewsMax and OANN and lots of podcasts and lots of websites, it’s mainstream,” said Wendy Via, the co-founder of the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism and an expert on far-right politics in the US. “[Fox News] will be the place that all of his cronies, all these people that he’s going to appoint or nominate, they’re gonna go and sing his praises.”

Several Fox News insiders will be at the heart of the Trump administration and tappable for influence: incoming border czar Tom Homan is a former paid contributor who declared “I love Fox” on the network hours after his appointment, while the CIA director-to-be, John Ratcliffe, has also appeared on Fox News multiple times. “It will be Trump’s network,” said Via. “So it is going to be the sort of respected news outlet that supports every one of Trump’s anti-democratic proposals, initiatives [and] actions.” Adding to that, the controversial congressman Matt Gaetz, a firebrand for the Maga movement and a recurring face on Fox News, is Trump’s pick for attorney general.

Perhaps, or at least so far, no other Trump appointment personifies the dominance of Fox News in the new administration than the naming of the Fox & Friends Weekend co-host Pete Hegseth as the future secretary of defense. Hegseth, an Iraq and Afghanistan war veteran with no senior military or national security experience, takes the reins of the most powerful military in the world, which he has regularly chastised on-air as too “woke” for combat. “Trump’s pick of Pete Hegseth as defense secretary is our best indicator yet of the value he will place on Fox News over the next four years,” said Margot Susca, an assistant professor of journalism at American University and the author of Hedged: How Private Investment Funds Helped Destroy American Newspapers and Undermine Democracy. “What he’d get with a loyalist like Hegseth is none of the pushback he received in his first administration from James Mattis, a four-star general who, of course, quit after disagreement over Syria and called Trump a threat to the constitution.” Following the election in 2020, the Biden administration did come under fire for hiring a number of MSNBC talking heads, none of whom took on positions with anywhere near the gravity of overseeing the Pentagon.

[...] During his last presidency, Trump would often call into Fox News live, bringing some of the most unprecedented access to a modern president in media history. But the news landscape since his time in office has changed dramatically. While Fox News is armed with a retinue of Trump acolytes sure to keep its relevance and ratings high, it still faces challengers. Not only do NewsMax and OANN vie for Trump’s attention, even Elon Musk’s X, formerly Twitter, has become one of the choice platforms for rightwing politicos and Maga types. It’s also Musk, not Murdoch, who seems poised to become one of the most singularly influential figures within Trump’s orbit; Musk already sits in on calls with world leaders and will head up the new Department of Government Efficiency.

Fox “News” stand as the biggest media beneficiary of Donald Trump’s 2nd term.

Vincenzo Carducci (Italian, 1576-1638) Socorro de la plaza de Constanza, 1634 Museo Nacional del Prado, Madrid This painting celebrates the liberation of the Swiss square of Constance from the siege to which it was being subjected by the Swedish troops of General Horn, who sought to cut off the communication of the imperial troops with the Spanish troops of Valtellina and Milanese. On the canvas, the Spanish nobleman, diplomat and army commander Don Gómez Suárez de Figueroa, 3rd Duke of Feria appears in the foreground, on horseback, on an elevation of land, practically occupying the left half of the canvas. A lance page runs at his side, and behind him appears a group of armored knights among whom Lieutenant General Geraldo Gambacurta, who commanded the cavalry, may be represented.
