Please include an Analysis of Project 25 (I did do a search and couldn’t find)

I like A Starting Point. There is something I’d like to see on it though. I’m currently reading the free Mandate for Leadership The Conservative Promise Project 25 Presidential Transition Project for the first time. It would be cool to see an analysis of this document over the year, almost like a year long book club to see what facts one party has to support it and which facts the other has against it, and where there is room for agreement. I’ve seen a tracker of how much of Project 25 the administration has completed and think an analysis of it will help both sides better understand the reasoning behind some of the changes and the direction we as a people are headed because there is so much fear on both sides which is completely justified because there are some rather scary patterns.

The perfect breakdown

I love the simple concise manner they present current events. It’s admirable how they remain unbiased with a dedication to getting points of view from both sides of the aisle. They stick to the facts and do a great job of explaining complicated matters.

App basically unusable

Watched the founders on C-Span today. Downloaded the App and found it almost impossible to navigate. Clicked on two interviews. Both good, but when I tried to check out other interviews it would not allow me to navigate the site; it was stuck on the interview I wanted to leave. I will try it again. Sad it isn’t working properly.

Closed captions, please

Just downloaded it, so not my final review yet.
First thing I noticed is that there is no closed caption on the videos. Could you please provide either closed caption or write out their statements in de field below.

All in one education

Having an app to compliment the work at ASP is fantastic. The app is easy to navigate with tools to stay informed and civically engaged.
