Pressed at one point to supply even a general range of the cost, #RussellVought told lawmakers, “I’m not going to give you a range because I don’t want to be inaccurate.” He said the admin would furnish those details in a fuller request to #Congress soon.
With the #war stretching into its 8th week, the ambiguity did not sit well with Democrats, many of whom have forcefully opposed #Trump’s actions & the #money he has already sought for the military.

The White House “declines” to “offer” #Congress an estimate of the #cost of the #war with #Iran.
In a 2nd appearance on Capitol Hill this week, #RussellVought, the White House budget director [& #Project2025 architect], sidestepped questions about the price tag of the #US & #Israel led conflict. He said the “fluctuating” nature of the war made it hard to calculate either the expenses incurred to date or the amount that #Trump would seek soon in new #military funding.

"This is what the research on divorced-guy syndrome shows — the damage doesn’t stop at the person who left. It radiates outward, finding new targets, as the original wound festers with spite."
These are men who are intent on taking "the wound that has become their souls" and making it our wound, inflicting it on all of us, and above all, on all women.

As Sattler notes, in pointing to the large percentage of angry divorced men the Trump regime empowers, Andrea Pitzer "doesn’t mean every divorced guy ever. Just the particular brain of divorce that seems to metastasize over endemic misogyny when exposed to malign forces like an ungrieved childhood, cryptocurrency, Fox News, tax cuts for the rich, and Donald Trump."

Citing Andrea Pitzer's valuable commentary on the role embittered, misogynistic divorced men are playing in wreaking havoc for all of us under Trump, Jason Sattler zeroes in on Project 2025 maven and head of the Office of Budget Management Russ Vought. For Sattler,
"The language of family trauma and abuse is the only way to understand governance under Trump."

Today on "Democrats are absolutely useless"...
"<Democrat> meets with <Trump official>, seeks assurances" is one of the dumbest things you can say or do, and yet they keep doing it.
You can get whatever "assurances" you like from anyone in the administration, but the minute Trump's swiss-cheese mind misfires a braincell or Stephen Miller's racism-boner twitches or Russell Vought sees an opportunity to executive-order women back into the kitchen, it's out the window and they'll do whatever they want to do.
If you want to make sure they don't do something, pass a goddamned law. That is literally your job. Stop pussy-footing around.

"money that would have gone toward fighting HIV, polio, malaria, and other diseases—to pay his U.S. Marshal security through the end of the year.
One source told Reuters that Vought has more than a dozen U.S. marshals in his security detail."

"Office of Budget and Management Director Russell Vought killed USAID, causing hundreds of thousands of deaths, and is now using the money he 'saved' to bankroll his security detail.
A Reuters report Friday states that the Project 2025 architect who promised to put federal employees 'in trauma' is spending $15 million of former USAID funding—"

The ghost of Jesse Helms past is hoping to subvert 8 of the cherished Smithsonian institution’s venues including the National Museum of African American History and the National Portrait Gallery which is an obsession of the White House.
