  2. Here are the numbers. The sick and the dead. All premeditated by #Trump, #Vought, #RFKJr. And the hardest hit--people who live in red states, where their governors will just help the suffering along rather than stand with their own constituents. nytimes.com/2025/12/23/opinion

  3. Federal workers: The government shutdown may have ended, but we know that many of you are still dealing with its lasting repercussions.

  4. ‘No one knows what Trump meant about “nuclear testing” (he probably doesn’t himself). But he's the president of the United States. And the consequences of such words are inescapable: Russia will be forced to assess the expediency of conducting full-fledged nuclear tests itself.’ #Trump #Epstein #Vought #Thiel #MAGA #TrumpCrimeFamily #USA #nucleararmsrace #BatshitCrazy #Treason #autocracy #Obscurantism #ChristoFascism #antifa #antifascist independentaustralia.net/polit

    #Vought sounds #layoff siren: ‘The #RIF have begun’ - this is nothing short of draconian. At least nine agencies appear to be affected. Today American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) largest #union representing more than 800,000 #federal & D.C. government employees condemned Trump administration’s #OMB #RusselVought decision to illegally #fire thousands of #federal #employees during the #governmentshutdown. afge.org/publication/afge-pres

  6. Donald Trump repeatedly told America he had “nothing to do” with #Project2025.
    But now, he’s welcoming its architect into his Cabinet with open arms.

    #Russ #Vought, who was deeply involved in the creation of Project 2025 and wrote an entire chapter in the right-wing playbook,
    is being strongly considered for an #upcoming Cabinet position, according to several sources who spoke with ABC News.

    Vought has already begun the vetting process and has been seen at Mar-a-Lago meeting with Trump’s team.

    Vought—a former lobbyist, self-described #Christian #nationalist, and director of the Office of Management and Budget in Trump’s first term
    —authored a chapter in the 922-page MAGA extremist master plan titled
    “Executive Office of the President” for Project 2025’s
    “Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise” section.
    The chapter serves as
    “a comprehensive policy guide for the next conservative U.S. president.”

    Vought isn’t the only Project 2025 alum being floated for a crucial role in the Trump Cabinet.
    #Gene #Hamilton, who wrote a chapter about how the Justice Department needed a
    “top to bottom overhaul” because it is
    “captured by an unaccountable bureaucratic managerial class and radical Left ideologues who have embedded themselves throughout its offices and components,”
    has been seriously floated for an important legal team position.

    Trump has also nominated Project 2025 contributor and free-speech “warrior” #Brendan #Carr to serve as Federal Communications Commission chair.

    On the campaign trail, Trump had tried to distance himself from Project 2025, 💥particularly after it became a focus point for Democrats.
    “This was a group of people that got together, they came up with some ideas, I guess some good, some bad, but it makes no difference.
    I have nothing to do [with it],” Trump stated during his nationally televised debate with Vice President Kamala Harris.
    His loyal transition team co-chair #Howard #Lutnick described the project as an “absolute zero” and “radioactive.”
    And yet here we are,
    with Vought, Carr, and Hamilton cozying back up to the president-elect,
    who was surely lying to America throughout his campaign.
    🔥The skeleton plan for the far-right takeover is coming alive.

  7. One of the key architects of Donald Trump’s plans for a second administration has been quite public about the driving force animating that radical agenda:
    a 👊“cold civil war” 👊to be won by those willing to use
    “biblical principles” to “instruct government” to do what the MAGA right wants.

    #Russ #Vought, a head of the Office of Management and Budget in Trump’s first term and a big player in the planning for a potential second Trump term, made the case for this #Christian #nationalist vision of America in a little-noticed speech on Capitol Hill last year.

    The growing emphasis in pro-Trump circles on a strict conservative view of #Christianity combined with an #aversion to #pluralism define not only what policies a future government should adopt, but American nationhood itself.
    It does so at the explicit exclusion of other faiths and some Christian denominations.

    Vought gave the speech last September as part of a series called the♦️ “Theology of American Statecraft.” ♦️
    The speech was devoted to the
    👺“Christian Case for Immigration Restriction.”
    There, Vought laid out the litany of extreme Trump #border #policies and proposals that have now become familiar:
    💥family separation,
    💥mass deportation,
    💥curtailing legal immigration.

    But he did so in explicitly Christian nationalist terms, at one point making an Old Testament reference to argue that the United States should model its immigration policy on the Tribe of Israel, welcoming newcomers “so long as they accepted Israel’s God, laws, and understanding of history.

  8. Approximately 100 right-wing organizations have signed onto #Project2025, an expansive plan for controlling (and in some cases dismantling) federal agencies in the event that Trump or another Republican wins the presidential election this year.

    Many of these organizations are led by #Christian #fundamentalist political operatives, suggesting that they may use the plan to force all Americans to submit to their extreme religious beliefs. 

    The Bucks County Beacon has just found explosive new evidence that seems to validate this concern. 

    The Beacon’s discovery follows an earlier report by #Politico #journalist Heidi #Przybyla, which tied the Center for Renewing America (CFRA), an official Project 2025 partner, to an internal memo expressly listing “Christian Nationalism” as a priority for a second Trump term. 

    Przybyla further reported that #CFRA founder #Russ #Vought, a Project 2025 co-author, had stated last year on X (formerly Twitter) that he’s “proud” to work with #William #Wolfe, a former Trump official and Visiting Fellow with CFRA, “on scoping out a sound #Christian #Nationalism.”

    In a social media post, 💥Wolfe had called for an end to no-fault divorce and abortion and for reduced access to contraception.💥

    Wolfe, who has attended Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, has also called himself a “Christian Nationalist.”

    Soon after Politico’s report, Wolfe changed his social media profile to remove the reference to his work with CFRA, thus burying his connection to Project 2025 leader Russ Vought. 
    Wolfe is also an alumnus of #Heritage, the lead organizer of Project 2025.

    Meanwhile, Vought and other Project 2025 leaders have tried to mitigate the damage from Politico’s report not by rebuking Wolfe, but rather by attacking Przybyla.

    After Przybyla correctly stated in a TV interview that Christian Nationalists believe their rights come from God, they accused her of attacking mainstream Christianity and launched a blizzard of targeted media hit pieces, as well as a petition to demand that Politico publish a formal apology.
    They have also parked #mobile #billboards outside Politico’s DC headquarters, again demanding a formal apology. 

    Despite this hurricane of attempted deflection, the Christian Nationalism promoted by Wolfe is extreme, not mainstream, as evidenced not only by Przybyla’s excellent article, but also by a shocking online #manifesto found by the Beacon, which identifies Wolfe as an editor.

    We have included screenshots of the complete manifesto in the Appendix to this article. We have also archived the manifesto (which calls itself a “draft”) here.
