What do I always say? Keep your eye on Vought (and Miller)

“In remarks to a private audience in 2023, Russell #Vought, who is #Trump’s budget chief and the intellectual force behind Trump’s unprecedented power grab, said he championed the term “invasion” because it “unlocked” extraordinary presidential powers.” propublica.org/article/trump-a

USDA cancels Food for Progress food aid grants
reuters.com/world/us/us-farm-a

Musk & DOGE tried to stop it in Feb & failed. OMB director Russ Vought got all grants canceled on. May 14.

The next day a 30 foot tall banner of Trump was hung at the USDA.
{it should've been of #Vought, the ghoul who enjoys traumatizing Federal workers.)
We should make Vought the face of The Trump admin, like Musk.
Esp. since he's the one running (ruining) the government now.

I keep saying: Keep an eye on Vought (& Miller)

‪ProPublica‬:

Before the #Trump administration took office, we revealed Russell #Vought’s plan to demonize civil servants and “put them in trauma.” Since then, we've doubled down on our coverage of government agencies and federal policy.

@GottaLaff
Here's Vought & Tucker Carlson defending Matt Gaetz, before his nomination for AG was withdrawn.

Note how Vought evokes the Bible. He's a Christian Nationalist supporting a liar & child rapist.
Note Tucker's projection about the left slandering people.

The Dominion defamation case cost Fox $787M over false election claims. I think

Tucker would've been sued for defaming the dean & staff of Vanderbilt University Medical Center if he had stayed.

@GottaLaff Here is #Vought wiggling out of saying that as head of the OMB, he would follow the Impoundment Control Act.

He tells Rep Murray that what the President will do, via OMB, "are not impoundments, they are Programmatic Delays."
This is a semantic game that he developed under #Project2025 to give Trump the power to withhold funding that congress legally allocated.

Trump moves to gut more agencies, targeting Voice of America, libraries, clean energy and National Monuments

Trump has signed an executive order seeking to eliminate several additional federal agencies, including one that oversees the federally funded media outlet
⭐️Voice of America (VOA),
🔥testing the limits of his authoritative power as he seeks to shrink the size and scope of the federal bureaucracy.

One order signed Friday night calls for the agencies
— some of which are focused on #minority business enterprises, #museum and #library services and #homelessness prevention
— to “be eliminated to the maximum extent consistent with applicable law.”

It also instructs the heads of agencies to “reduce the performance of their statutory functions and associated personnel to the minimum presence and function required by law,”
and submit a report to the Office of Management and Budget director #Russell #Vought confirming full compliance within seven days.

A second executive order revoked 19 executive actions signed by President Joe Biden that promoted #clean #energy and environmental goals.

The order terminates proclamations of #national #monuments created by Biden
and ends the use of the Defense Production Act to expand the U.S. manufacturing of clean energy technology
(including mandates for electric heat pumps and #solar #panels),
among other Biden-era policies

“Elon Musk and DOGE…are simply - with no knowledge of how government works or even what it does - taking a hammer to our federal agencies. They are causing all manner of trauma…, which, according to their ally Russ Vought at the Office of Management and Budget, is precisely their intent.”

Does your child want to go to college, want to go to med or grad school? Do you realize the new cures for diseases, new technologies that we depend on come out of universities. #Trump, #Musk, #Vought are now killing higher education. If you haven't been paying attention, this would be a good time to wake up. This is the Project 2025 inspired attack on universities as the enemies. Welcome back to the Dark Ages.

#Trump, #Musk, #Vought are destroying NIH. What they are creating is a rump-institution that kills research on health disparities by banning grants on words like race, gender, equity etc. They are also creating a whites-only future for research by banning DEI initiatives, which will have its desired effect of reducing the number of black and brown students, post-docs and scientists in biomedical research in the US.
