And there it is: Russell Vought is confirmed.
I wrote a long profile of him, his worldview, his political project: He’s one of the architects of Project 2025, an avowed Christian nationalist, and a radical ideologue of the “post-constitutional” Right.
He is at war with pluralistic democracy.

I was nervous to switch...but so glad I'm here! I'm a Utah mom, but not that kind 😛 I am an LGBTQ+ ally, abortion rights advocate, and freedom to read fighter. I am a former children's librarian turned archivist who dreams of being a conservator. 👋
