## Summary

The article says the Trump administration has altered or removed hundreds of federal datasets and thousands of government webpages, particularly material on diversity, climate and other topics at odds with its ideology. A Guardian analysis found that many of these actions match proposals in Project 2025, raising concerns that control of public information is being used to advance political goals.

The analysis reviewed the 900-page Heritage Foundation blueprint and identified nearly 100 proposals concerning government data, research and guidance; the article says the administration has implemented most of them. Experts describe data infrastructure as vulnerable to executive control and say the findings could help Congress investigate how information was removed and identify gaps in its protection. The White House and Heritage Foundation did not respond to requests for comment.
