Russell Vought was a key figure in drafting Project 2025 and is expected to be confirmed tonight despite Democratic opposition

During their protest of Russell Vought’s confirmation, Senate Democrats sounded the alarm about Vought’s role in drafting Project 2025 and his support for vastly expanding the power of the president.

Vought, said Wisconsin senator Tammy Baldwin at 10:30 pm eastern time on Wednesday, “has openly called for the president to defy congress and take control of federal funding decisions that are constitutionally vested in the legislative branch.”

Schiff accused the Trump administration of unlawfully attempting to break down the separation of powers and said Vought would play a role in aiding that effort.

“This is an effort to try to consolidate power, all the power of this government, in the hands of Donald Trump and a few of his hand-picked very wealthy, billionaire friends,” said California Democrat Adam Schiff.

    Since November?

    …try 2014.

    I spent ten years trying to point out this stuff, ever since the alt-right first emerged and tried to popularize the term “Cultural Marxism”.

    Had to counter that one by becoming a Wikipedian, and that sucked.

    Since November? Nope. Your alarm is broke, mine went off way too early.
