Trump Picks Russ Vought to Enact his Project 2025 Agenda

Share

Project 2025 is designed for Donald Trump

Donald Trump said he had “nothing to do with Project 2025,” except now he’s appointing one contributor after another to the most important positions in his administration. He also said he wants clean air and water — but now he’s putting in charge of his government spending one of the masterminds of the 900-page manifesto that would sabotage the very ways we get them.

In Project 2025, Russ Vought wrote they would hollow out the independent agencies charged by Congress to stand between polluters’ recklessness and Americans’ rights. We know what it could look like. During Trump’s first four years, EPA lost more than 1,500 scientists and policy experts. But that’s not enough for Vought, apparently, who said other career public servants like them should be villainized and experience so much “trauma” they don’t even want to go to work anymore.

Without their expertise, our air will be less healthy, our water less trustworthy, our energy sources less abundant and our electricity grids less reliable. What you want for your family and future won’t matter one bit to Vought once Trump starts dictating the way his government spends your money. Don’t ask Congress, Trump seems to be saying with these appointments of Project 2025 pot-stirrers. Don’t consult the Constitution. Just do what he says, or he’ll find someone who will.

But the next four years do not have to look like the first four.
