If Trump is the face of the authoritarian movement, Russell Vought is its brain. The danger he poses is quiet, calculated, and relentless.
Vought doesn’t want the spotlight. Because once you see what he’s doing, it’s terrifying.
He’s not trying to shrink the government. He’s trying to dismantle it and rebuild it into a dictatorship.
His weapon is a fringe legal theory called the “unitary executive.” It claims the president alone should control the entire executive branch, with no checks from Congress, no independence for the courts, and no oversight from watchdogs. Just one man, ruling it all. ❌👑
Under Vought’s plan: • Thousands of career civil servants are being purged and replaced with Trump loyalists • Agencies like the EPA, DOJ, and even the Federal Reserve are being gutted or captured • Power is being concentrated inside the White House to eliminate internal dissent • Checks and balances are being erased one memo at a time
In his own words, we are in a “post-Constitutional time.” He means it.
This is not just another Trump term. This is a second insurrection, led by men in suits, using bureaucracy as their weapon.
Vought was the architect behind Project 2025, the step-by-step guide to authoritarian control. He leads the Office of Management and Budget, the nerve center of federal operations. He is now poised to take over DOGE, following Musk’s withdrawal.
His tools are not speeches. They are deadlines, firings, executive orders, and buried footnotes in thousand-page reports. And he is moving quickly. Schedule F. Executive Order 14215. Federal gag orders. Already in motion.
Russell Vought is a shadow operator. He works best in silence. He avoids exposure because public attention slows him down.
If you are reading this, do not stay quiet. Say his name. Share this post. Tag your representatives. Alert the press.
Then take action. 🔗 Go to NoKings.org and find or host a #NoKings protest near you.

Ingrassia seems a bit conflicted.
He seems to want to say that Ukraine is bad because (to them) Ukraine is nothing more than a rebellious part of Russia.
But then again, he also seems want to deny anything bad about the Confederacy or the role of slavery in the decisions of those states to secede.
...and this is the guy that Trump has nominated to head the Office of Special Councel. Among other duties, this office's:
"primary mission is to safeguard the merit system in federal employment by protecting employees and applicants from prohibited personnel practices (PPPs), especially reprisal for "whistleblowing". "
Yeah. I am sure he'll be super professional about that.
