Trump himself is a bumbling idiot but the people around him are cunning sociopaths and have planned this openly and meticulously. I said to my wife him shutting down the federal funding was part of a larger scheme to somehow use his packed courts to establish some sort of precedent. I was almost right
Fake.

Senate confirms Russell Vought to lead OMB in party-line vote
Every Republican lawmaker voted to confirm Vought after Senate Democrats staged a 30-hour floor fight.

Despite an overnight effort on the Senate floor from Democratic lawmakers to derail Russell Vought’s path to becoming Office of Management and Budget director, the Project 2025 co-author secured every Republican vote Thursday and was confirmed by a 53-47 tally to lead the White House office once again.
Vought, who also served as OMB director during the final six months of President Donald Trump’s first term, now regains control of the White House office charged with coordinating the administration’s budget and policy efforts, as well as overseeing IT, procurement, agency performance and financial management across the federal government.
Democrats put up a 30-hour floor fight against Vought, one of the architects of the Heritage Foundation’s playbook to dismantle the federal government. Leading up to his confirmation, Vought faced withering questioning from Senate Democrats during hearings before the chamber’s Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs and Budget committees, particularly about policies spelled out in Project 2025 and for saying in a private speech that “we want the bureaucrats to be traumatically affected.”
Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., ranking member of the chamber’s budget committee, said during Wednesday’s floor proceedings that Vought “views federal workers ‘as the villains’ and seeks to replace non-partisan, professional civil servants with corrupt lackeys valued for their loyalty over their expertise.”
“Vought’s policies are already hurting communities across our country — in red, blue, and purple states,” he continued. “And it’s clear that he’s willing to raid our Treasury to line the pockets to enrich the already richest Americans, leaving working families in the cold.”
Before Thursday’s vote, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., chided Democrats for making arguments against Vought that he said lacked “self-reflection, because over the last four years, there have been a lot of times when the executive branch went around the Congress or tried to rewrite the laws passed.”
“The previous administration, an administration of a different political party, came to some very aggressive conclusions with respect to how they wanted to modify and change and alter laws passed by this institution, the United States Senate,” said Thune, who pointed specifically to the Biden administration’s handling of the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment Program.
