Remember when The Fascist Guy claimed on the campaign trail he knew nothing about Project 2025? Did he lie?!?! Not shocking!
On Friday, The Fascist Guy named Russ Vought, co-author of Project 2025, to lead the Office of Management and Budget. If confirmed, this will be Vought’s second time in the role. He served as OMB director during Trump’s first term, too. Earlier in the Trump administration, Vought was deputy OMB director and acting director.
Before joining the White House during TFG’s first reign of terror, Vought served as vice president of Heritage Action for America, which leads a grassroots effort to implement conservative policies across the U.S. It produces a conservative scorecard that grades members of Congress on their votes on conservative bills.
Vought wrote a chapter of The Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 blueprint — his chapter covers the “Executive Office of the President.”
The OMB director’s office develops the president’s proposed budget, and it’s responsible for executing the president’s agenda across the federal government.
