During their protest of Russell Vought’s confirmation, Senate Democrats sounded the alarm about Vought’s role in drafting Project 2025 and his support for vastly expanding the power of the president.
Vought, said Wisconsin senator Tammy Baldwin at 10:30 pm eastern time on Wednesday, “has openly called for the president to defy congress and take control of federal funding decisions that are constitutionally vested in the legislative branch.”
Schiff accused the Trump administration of unlawfully attempting to break down the separation of powers and said Vought would play a role in aiding that effort.
“This is an effort to try to consolidate power, all the power of this government, in the hands of Donald Trump and a few of his hand-picked very wealthy, billionaire friends,” said California Democrat Adam Schiff.
Looks at that. The previous commentor said it’s “all about timing” and “during the election isn’t the time” and here we are post-election and they’re still downvoting you and refusing to listen to reason just like they have at any given moment over the past 8 years. It’s almost as if it has nothing to do with timing, much like Trump deportations have nothing to do with people having the correct documents.
They want the pro-corporate, diet-fascism and they don’t care how many people they have to alienate or purge from the party to get it. The really weird aspect of this is that they already keep losing elections, yet think that the winning strategy is to push even more people away.
