📜🔮 The Sequel is Here: Inside Heritage's "Restoring America's Promise" (and the Civil War It Started)
If "Project 2025" was the blueprint for the takeover, "Project 2026" is the manual for the occupation. While the media is still dissecting the 2024 transition, the Heritage Foundation has quietly released its next phase. Officially titled "Restoring America's Promise: 2025-2026 Policy Priorities," this document effectively answers the question: "Now that we have power, how do we keep it?"
You mentioned "seven battles," but the new manifesto actually outlines nine. It appears the ambitions have grown. Here is what they are planning, what they have already built, and why this new agenda has triggered a "civil war" inside the conservative movement itself.
The 9 Fronts of the 2026 Agenda
Unlike the 900-page academic tome of 2025, this new plan is a legislative weapon. It is designed specifically for the 119th Congress and the run-up to the 2026 midterms.
1. Root Out the Deep State (The Schedule F Expansion). The Plan: This goes beyond just firing people. The 2026 goal is to institutionalize the "Schedule F" reclassification, permanently converting tens of thousands of civil service jobs into political appointments. The Intent: To ensure that no future Democrat president can ever rely on a non-partisan bureaucracy again.
2. Restore Digital Sovereignty (The Tech War). The Plan: This is a major escalation. It includes strictly enforcing antitrust laws to break up "Big Tech" and proposing new measures to end "censorship" (i.e., content moderation). The Intent: To seize control of the digital public square before the next election cycle.
3. Put Family First (The Social Counter-Revolution). The Plan: Explicitly defines the family as a "married mother and father" and seeks to reduce "both the demand and supply for abortion" at the federal level. The Intent: To bypass the "states' rights" argument and use federal funding levers (like Medicaid) to impose a national social standard.
4. Counter the CCP (The Economic Decoupling). The Plan: A push for full economic "decoupling" from China, including banning lobbying for Chinese clients and aggressive supply chain removal. The Intent: To shift the U.S. into a "war footing" economy, justifying increased executive power over private industry.
5. Unleash American Energy. The Plan: Pushing the "One Big Beautiful Bill" (actual working title) to repeal the methane tax, unlock all federal lands for drilling, and dismantle the "Green New Scam".
6. End the Border Chaos (Mass Deportation logistics).
7. Eliminate Regulation & Spending (Gutting the administrative state).
8. Ensure Election Integrity (Federal proof-of-citizenship mandates).
9. Expand Education Freedom (Universal school choice/defunding "woke" academia).
The "Civil War": Kevin Roberts vs. The Old Guard
Here is the part the press release won't tell you. This new agenda has caused a massive fracture on the Right.
Kevin Roberts, the firebrand President of Heritage, has pivoted the organization from "Reagan conservatism" to "Nationalist Populism." He is the one driving the aggressive, burn-it-down strategy.
But this week, we learned that a group of top Heritage officials the "old guard" have defected. They walked out to join a new group aligned with Mike Pence, titled American Advancing Freedom.
The defectors believe Heritage has abandoned "limited government" principles for "big government populism." They are terrified that Roberts' plan to use the government to punish "woke" corporations and ban technologies is just Leftism with a Right-wing coat of paint.
Heritage isn't just fighting Democrats anymore. They are purging their own dissenters.
"Restoring America's Promise" is not a wish list; it is a legislative calendar. With the "One Big Beautiful Bill" and the FY 2026 NDAA already moving through Congress, they are essentially trying to sprint through the finish line before the 2026 midterms can act as a speed bump.
They know that historically, the President's party loses big in the midterms. This agenda is their attempt to change the rules of the game before the voters get a chance to play.
