Trump’s budget director Russ Vought is the most dangerous person you’ve never heard of.
And he just proposed turning every federal grant into a loyalty test.
His plan would make funding for cancer research, housing, transportation, and public health depend on one thing: whether it “advances the President’s policy priorities.”
Not whether it works.
Not whether Congress authorized it.
Whether it pleases Trump.
This is the appropriations power. It belongs to Congress and to the people.
To my Republican colleagues: where are you?
Congress passed this funding. You voted for it.
Vought is telling you to your faces that your votes do not matter, that he and his enablers will override the law whenever it suits them. Every day you stay silent, you give away the institution you were elected to defend.
Grow a spine.
This is not about left or right.
It is about whether Congress still exists as a coequal branch, or whether we have quietly surrendered the purse to an unelected hack who holds the Constitution in contempt.
History will remember who stood up and who looked away.

Agriculture Sec @BrookeLRollins in November: "We have screwworm under control south of the border. Beef prices will come down by spring 2026"
Beef prices continue to rise, and screwworm is now in the US.
The Trump administration has been telling you they had screwworm under control for months. Now, it's here.
What happened? Trump and DOGE slashed funding for screwworm monitoring programs.
And the entire GOP let them. Thank them for today's new hell they unleashed on you.
@RobKenyonReform I was cringing on your behalf last night . What a car crash . First thing you did when you had one of your quotes read to you was say ‘alledgedly’.
This is so insanely corrupt, I can’t even believe it.
More than half the donors to Trump’s $400 million White House ballroom just won over $50 billion in new federal contracts in six months.
And here’s the part that should make your blood boil.
Sixteen of these 27 donors were facing federal enforcement actions, antitrust reviews, labor cases, securities charges. Many of those cases have been quietly dropped or scaled back since Trump took office. You write a check, your legal problems disappear. That’s not a coincidence.
The White House won’t even release the full donor list. They’re hiding it on purpose, because daylight is the one thing pay-to-play can’t survive. A federal judge already ruled ballroom construction has to stop until Congress authorizes it.
Government is supposed to serve the people, not auction itself off to the highest bidder. When access goes to whoever pays the most, working families always end up paying the price.
We either end the corruption, or the corruption will end us.

What is extremely disturbing is that not one reporter in that room had the guts to tell Trump that the Reflective Pool is simply a pool of water and isn't comparable to a building's height.
It's the most insane nonsense he drummed up AND HE PUT IT ON A BOARD to show everyone how DUMB he is.
The world looks on at the @POTUS demeaning himself in public like a clown. Sad.

@policylaila Why, when a *woman* was kidnapped, raped and murdered by a police officer, who hadn't been vetted correctly and previous crimes covered up by the force, did @Nigel_Farage call for calm? Really interested in an explanation for that
@policylaila If you truly believe this then your judgment and suitability for office must be questioned. He is Temu Trump ( Jan 6th) but we are not as stupid as MAGA. We see you . At the very least you disrespectEd Henry’s family .
