Kash Patel: “We will go out and find the conspirators not just in government, but also in media.” This is a genuinely blood chilling choice. He may be repugnant enough to not get confirmed, but what if Trump were to make him deputy director? A giant step toward authoritarianism in and of itself.

Russell Vought says he wants to make sure the US is a “Christian nation” and only Christians should be allowed to immigrate here. (Sorry, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, et. al.) He’s a bigot & Trump just gave him one of the most important jobs in the US government. This is Christian nationalism in power.
Remember this guy? Trump just made him director of the Office of Management and Budget.
