Russell Vought is not only Pres. Trump’s budget director but also an author of Project 2025, and he’s seizing this government shutdown moment to pursue his ideological drive to gut federal agencies and programs that benefit Americans. #Velshi
The Vought Doctrine: Make it hurt
It’s day five and counting of a budget impasse in Washington, but critics say characterizing this moment as a government “shutdown” is misleading. For months, Donald Trump and his budget director Russell Vought have taken a sledgehammer to the federal bureaucracy and are now using this moment to gut agencies and programs that benefit working and middle-class Americans, while conveniently keeping in place everything that benefits the wealthy.

As a retired journalism professor, I believe every newsroom in America must now develop Civil War Protocols: how it will conduct the profession of journalism when Donald Trump declares martial law and systematically ends our democracy. If your newsroom isn't prepared for this, it's rank malpractice.

If President Trump really wants to take over a big city’s police department to lower crime, he picked the wrong city. Memphis, TN, has the highest crime rate, not Washington, D.C. Trump won’t criticize Memphis because Tennessee is a red state.

Don’t fall for the lies of Donald Trump and Mike Johnson. The President’s bill is expected to rip away healthcare from 17 million Americans.
AOC: Trump has insisted that this bill does not cut Medicaid. He has also said he doesn’t think I’m a smart person. It doesn’t take a smart person to know when you are being lied to. President Trump, you are either being lied to, or you are lying to the American people.
