President-elect Donald Trump has nominated a key architect of the right-wing Project 2025 planning document, Russell Vought, to return as head of the Office of Management and Budget. The Trump loyalist wrote the chapter of Project 2025 that lays out how to redefine the executive branch by firing thousands of civil servants. He has also supported deploying the military domestically. ProPublica reporter Molly Redden has recently published an investigation on Vought and the ideology he will bring to Washington, D.C. She explains that as head of OMB, Vought will be able to push Trump's anti-regulatory agenda and help him to ignore Congress, concentrating power in the hands of the executive branch.
