It appears that Russell Vought — Trump’s budget hawk and one of the chief architects of the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 — is stepping in to become DOGE’s new power broker. With Vought, a self-described Christian nationalist, at the helm, the slash-and-burn effort against the federal government may be on the cusp of an even darker turn. Last year, Vought told undercover journalists with the Centre for Climate Reporting that he wants “to make sure that we can say we are a Christian nation.”

Meet Russell Vought, one of the architects of Project 2025, often called the Shadow President. He is not a side character. He is the man shaping a plan to hand near-total control of the federal government to one person.

He doesn’t want the president wasting time
