6. Vought rushing everything before the end of the year. He knows a Democrat majority Congress will cut him off at the knee

While Congress doesn't controlthe OMB they can mess with it and demand that all appropriations to Federal organizations made by the Congressional budget be followed. People need to understand that the Director of the Office of Management and Budget is, IMO, the 2nd most powerful position in our government and the people have no say so who it is other than Congress approving someone for the position. Russel Vought has been given unbridled power by this current spineless complicit Congress with the budget of the ENTIRE EXCUTIVE BRANCH, which is a huge chunk of your tax dollars and he is killing everything our tax dollars touch THAT HELP US AS INDIVIDUALS in this country. Congress can stop this destruction but this one refuses to. Jimmy Comer threw bricks at Bidens OMB and threatened to hold (and did) monies from it. Russel Vought wrote Project 2025 and he must be stopped!
Trump doesn't even know here the OMB office is at. He is Vought's yes man.
