Trump Appoints Project 2025's Vought to Lead Budget Office

President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Russell Vought, co-author of the conservative Project 2025, as director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for his second term. Vought, who served as OMB's deputy director during Trump's first term, is known for his cost-cutting and deregulation efforts. His appointment signals Trump's alignment with Project 2025's conservative priorities, despite previous campaign distancing. The project, developed by The Heritage Foundation, proposes significant changes to the executive branch and has faced criticism from Democrats for potentially undermining democratic institutions.

"Speaker Mike Johnson's Risky Path: Navigating Hard-Right Discontent and Potential Disarray"

Republican ultra-conservatives are growing increasingly discontented with House Speaker Mike Johnson, just weeks after his installation, raising concerns of disarray and a potential government shutdown. Many hard-liners are frustrated with Johnson's support for an interim funding measure that postponed a government shutdown until mid-January without meeting their demands for spending cuts and conservative policy changes. The slim Republican House majority and divisions within the party make it difficult for hard-liners to achieve their goals. Johnson is being urged to deliver on their demands when funding expires early next year, but he faces challenges in navigating the competing interests within his party and the Democratic-controlled White House and Senate.
