Why did President Trump first disavow Project 2025 but later hire Russell Vought to lead the OMB? "Because it was incredibly unpopular during the campaign trail, and there was polling that showed that and that voters weren't necessarily aligned with this," said @lbarronlopez.bsky.social.

"Congress is complicit in handing over their power to the executive branch," said @lacaldwelldc.bsky.social. "[Project 2025] wrote a line about Congress that, given the choice between being powerful but vulnerable or irrelevant but famous, most members of Congress have chosen the latter."

Is the reason they had to dig back to 2019 because Trump is golfing?

It shouldn’t take a slur that impacts you personally, or losing your healthcare or SNAP, or being forced to sell your farm, or having to watch a loved one get unjustly detained and deported...to walk away from a madman. Cruelty isn’t strength. Reject it. Always.

@crow.house.gov thank you for your courage, for standing up for what is right, for speaking out and defending our democracy — giving us hope and showing us that leadership with a moral compass still exists. Your depth of continuing service — means a very great deal. “Citizen” is indeed a verb.
