Evidence (2021-02-18): Asked to consider what life will be like in 2025 in the wake of the outbreak of the global pandemic and other crises in 2020, some 915 innovators, developers, business and policy leaders, researchers and activists responded. Their broad and nearly universal view is that people’s relationship with technology will deepen as larger segments of the population come to rely more on digital connections for work, education, health care, daily commercial transactions and essential social interactions. A number describe this as a "tele-everything" world. [...] In 2025 the new normal will imply a society more sharply divided between those who have access and those who don’t. In this context, access is multi-pronged: access to food, access to wealth, access to connectivity and technology, access to power. [...] Paul Jones, professor emeritus of information science at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, predicted, "Let’s look at changes that were underway and that will likely prevail by 2025:

Evidence (2022-08-30): This will undertake research to inform government policy in areas such as menstrual health, gynaecological conditions and menopause - improving the quality of health and health service data collected within NHS services, as well as processes to link data collected across the NHS, the Department of Health and Social Care, and NHS England - the General Medical Council (GMC) will be introducing the Medical Licensing Assessment for the majority of incoming doctors, including all medical students graduating from academic year 2024 to 2025 and onwards. Within this assessment, there are a number of topics relating to women’s health.

Evidence (2024-03-26): Their aims are described in detail by a Heritage Foundation document called Project 2025. Mandate for Leadership: The conservative promise. It includes strict abortion bans. Restrictions on contraception and IVF. And formally changing the name of the Department of Health and Human Services to the Department of Life. [...] First of all, this is Roger Severino. He's the vice president for domestic policy at the Heritage Foundation, which wrote the Project 2025 many hundred-page document. He specifically wrote the section on health policy. And in that section, there are many proposals on reproductive health. So let's start, first of all, by talking about their calls for a federal ban on abortion. [...] They're super clear, but I've heard from many like pro childcare advocates to that, they want to focus more on framing this as a question of freedom, that expanding access to childcare and early childhood education gives families freedom. And I think that's a really interesting way of thinking about it, especially with the angle that these Project 2025 proposals are taking, too.

Evidence (2023-12-22): Those plans — and many more, including proposals to attack contraception access, use the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to increase "abortion surveillance" and data collection, rescind a Department of Defense policy to "prohibit abortion travel funding," punish states that require health insurance plans to cover abortion, and retool a law that is currently protecting pregnant women with life-threatening conditions — are outlined in Project 2025’s "Mandate for Leadership." Project 2025 is an initiative of the Heritage Foundation, a rightwing think tank that has helped staff and set the agenda for every Republican administration since Ronald Reagan. It describes Project 2025 as "the conservative movement’s unified effort to be ready for the next conservative administration to govern at 12:00 noon, January 20, 2025." [...] Project 2025, meanwhile, is already pre-screening applicants for jobs in the next Republican administration, filtering out candidates based on their answers to a list of questions, including whether they agree or disagree with the statement: "Life has a right to legal protection from conception to natural death."

Evidence (2024-07-16): Social media users have claimed that Project 2025, an initiative launched by the conservative think tank The Heritage Project, will introduce compulsory "period passports" to track women's menstrual cycles. [...] A user on X (formerly Twitter) on July 7 shared: "BREAKING: The Project 25 group says women should be mandated to carry "period passports" that track their menstrual cycles and must be kept up to date, and women must present these to police officers during random ID checks to monitor pregnancies."

Evidence (2024-07-31): The "Project 25" mentioned is Project 2025, a conservative coalition's policy plan for a future Republican U.S. presidential administration. Some people have voiced concerns over the initiative's recommendations, for example including "pro-life and pro-family policies" regarding abortion.

[...] There are 38 felony charges against Trump – 31 of these counts relate to withholding national defense information. Five counts relate to concealing possession of classified documents, and two relate to giving false statements. [...] Second, one of the challenges here is that prosecutors are trying to hold Trump responsible for an affidavit that a lawyer signed that included untrue statements that Trump did not have the documents the government was asking him to return. And to make that case stick, prosecutors will really have to show that Trump himself had some involvement with that.

Evidence (2024-10-03): WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump laid the groundwork to try to overturn the 2020 election even before he lost, knowingly pushed false claims of voter fraud and "resorted to crimes" in his failed bid to cling to power, according to a court filing unsealed Wednesday that offers new evidence from the landmark criminal case against the former president. [...] The filing was submitted, initially under seal, following a Supreme Court opinion that conferred broad immunity on former presidents for official acts they take in office, a decision that narrowed the scope of the prosecution and eliminated the possibility of a trial before next month’s election. [...] Prosecutors also alleged that Trump advanced claims of fraud despite knowing they were false, recounting how he conceded to others that allegations of election irregularities made by attorney Sidney Powell were "crazy" and referenced the science fiction series "Star Trek." Even so, days later, he promoted on Twitter a lawsuit she was about to file.

He's also under investigation in Georgia over his attempts to overturn the 2020 election results there, and he's been embroiled in civil lawsuits out of New York. [...] After conducting a wide-reaching investigation and a series of high-profile public hearings, the committee voted in December 2022 to refer former Trump to the Justice Department for prosecution on four criminal charges, including inciting an insurrection, obstructing an official government proceeding and conspiracy to defraud the United States.

Evidence (2024-08-28): WASHINGTON (AP) — Special counsel Jack Smith filed a new indictment Tuesday against Donald Trump over his efforts to undo the 2020 presidential election that keeps the same criminal charges but narrows the allegations against him following a Supreme Court opinion that conferred broad immunity on former presidents. [...] It comes days before prosecutors and defense lawyers are expected to tell the judge overseeing the case how they want to proceed in light of the Supreme Court’s ruling, which said presidents are presumptively immune from prosecution for official White House acts. The high court sent the case back to U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, who now must analyze which allegations in the indictment were unofficial actions — or those taken in Trump’s private capacity — that can proceed to trial. [...] In a statement on his Truth Social platform, Trump called the new indictment "an act of desperation" and an "effort to resurrect a ‘dead’ Witch Hunt.’" He said the new case has "all the problems of the old Indictment, and should be dismissed IMMEDIATELY.

[...] The indictment had been expected since Trump said in mid-July that the Justice Department had informed him he was a target of its investigation. A bipartisan House committee that spent months investigating the run-up to the Capitol riot also recommended prosecuting Trump on charges, including aiding an insurrection and obstructing an official proceeding.
