The Department of Commerce is the economic arm of the Cabinet — its offices handle everything from foreign exports to business development to trademark regulations. National weather services also report to this department.
While only 5 agencies have featured in Project 2025 plans or existing archival projects on documented alterations, most of these agencies are top level. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and United States Census Bureau — which has seen some of the highest removal rates with over 3,000 webpages altered — are among them.
The Department of Commerce is a high-priority target for the Record Resistance archive.
3,000+ webpages changed, removed, or affected
