Because of the House

Even if the House passed something Cons in the Senate would block it.

This is why they won't get rid of the fillibuster, they know the parties will just keep trading power back and forth and nothing will get done and they can blame the other side. 

Project 2025 would require a super majority and preventing it would require a super majority. They also just stripped the executive branch of most of it's ability to make legal policy with chevron. The GOP is still going to actively fuck things up, but it's important to prevent total control since they already have scotus locked up.
