WASHINGTON — Russell Vought is well-known on Capitol Hill and thus far at least looks like a shoo-in to be confirmed as President-elect Donald Trump’s budget director, as he was during Trump’s first term on a party-line vote in 2020. The hard-charging Vought is a revered figure on the right with his pledges to upend the “deep state” and dismantle “woke and weaponized government,” including by refusing to spend all the money Congress appropriates. He’ll need to be vetted again in the new year, where Democrats on the Senate Budget and Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs panels will be poring over Vought’s writings and speeches since leaving the Trump administration to found a new pro-Trump think tank, the Center for Renewing America. Vought is also one of many contributors to the Heritage Foundation-led Project 2025, which Trump disavowed during his presidential campaign and is a major lightning rod on the left. Since Trump’s Nov. 22 announcement that Vought was his choice to once again lead his Office of Management and Budget, a parade of conservative GOP senators have come out in support, such as Mike Lee of Utah, Rick Scott of Florida, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee and Tommy Tuberville of Alabama. Incoming Senate Appropriations Chairwoman Susan Collins, R-Maine, is not among those openly praising Vought. “I would not have anticipated that choice, because wasn’t he associated with the Heritage study that the president very much stepped away from? So, seems unusual to choose him,” Collins told reporters last month. But Collins didn’t rule out supporting him either as she has twice before — in 2020 as well as in 2018, when he was confirmed as deputy OMB director on a tie-breaker vote by then-Vice President Mike Pence. “I give deference to all presidents as they try to build their Cabinets,” Collins said. “But there are certain standards, and that’s why the advice and consent role of the Senate is so important.” Collins’ Democratic counterpart on Appropriations, Sen. Patty Murray of Washington, has made her opposition to Vought clear. She called him a “far-right ideologue” seeking to unlawfully expand executive spending powers, fire “tens of thousands” of federal workers and “gut programs that help working families” in a statement after Trump announced his selection. ‘Grinding halt’ If confirmed, Vought would play a key role in next year’s budget reconciliation and appropriations debates, as well as in a new set of negotiations to lift the debt limit. Senators are sure to scrutinize Vought’s past commentary, including his no-compromise approach to spending deals. He’s called for shutting down the government rather than accepting a bipartisan stopgap funding bill the last two years, for instance. “The Biden regulatory agenda comes to a grinding halt with a government shutdown,” he posted on X in September 2023. Vought called the 2023 debt ceiling and spending caps deal “terrible,” and backed Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, for speaker later that year. “The American people deserve a Speaker that represents them and not the DC Cartel,” Vought wrote. After Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., was elected and cut a deal to continue spending levels negotiated by Biden and former Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., Vought bashed “Mike Johnson’s spending deal” that Democrats were “celebrating.” Here’s a look at what Vought has proposed, including as part of Project 2025 and in a budget blueprint he and his think tank drafted in 2022 that could become a template for Trump’s new budget due early next year. Project 2025 President Joe Biden put apportionments back into the hands of the career officials after Trump OMB officials signed off on the Ukraine aid holds that became the basis for Trump’s first impeachment, in 2019. Vought and his team always held that the moves were lawful uses of apportionment authority, and further, they want to push the envelope of what constitutes an illegal “impoundment” of federal funds under a 1974 law. Trump has suggested that could involve vast clawbacks of previously-signed spending laws. The first Trump administration implemented the policy on its own, where Vought is said to have used it to discourage pricey rulemakings by the Department of Health and Human Services, for instance. Republicans criticize the Biden administration for expanding food-stamp benefits and student debt relief via regulatory actions and believe a tighter “administrative pay-as-you-go” policy would keep regulatory spending in check. And his agency will work hand in hand with the new, informal “Department of Government Efficiency” advisory group, with a stated goal of reducing the federal employee headcount through return-to-office mandates, building relocations and more. “There certainly is going to be mass layoffs and firings, particularly at some of the agencies that we don’t even think should exist,” Vought said in an interview last month with Tucker Carlson. ‘Fiscal brokenness’ Lost amid the focus on Trump’s other prospective nominees and Project 2025 is the detailed budget blueprint Vought and his team at the Center for Renewing America released in December 2022. It’s a clear rejection of traditional GOP orthodoxy calling for higher defense budgets and overhauling Social Security and Medicare, though it’s more aligned on tax policy. But virtually every other entitlement and discretionary program would be on the cutting board, with a stated goal to “consciously and indelibly link the efforts of getting our nation’s finances in order with removing the scourge of woke and weaponized bureaucracy aimed at the American people,” Vought wrote. The budget compares its proposed fiscal 2023 spending agency by agency to enacted spending in fiscal 2021, so its numbers are not up to date. Nevertheless, the scale of reductions gives a sense of the magnitude of changes Vought contemplates. Here are some highlights of Vought’s budget plan, which he wrote in a preface would cure “America’s fiscal brokenness” by cutting trillions of dollars from federal spending. Vought makes no secret of his views on this budget category. “When families decide to get on a budget, they do not target the largest and immovable items of their spending, like their mortgage, first. They aim to restrain discretionary spending — they eat out less, shop less, and find cheaper ways of entertaining themselves,” Vought writes. “Politically, a similar approach is the only way the American people will ever accept major changes to mandatory spending.” The blueprint doesn’t outline all of the cuts over a decade, but in the first year of implementation, nearly every domestic agency would see double-digit appropriations cuts: a 54% reduction at the National Science Foundation, 45% to the State Department and foreign assistance, 43% at the Department of Housing and Urban Development; 40% to the Labor Department and more. Cuts would be more muted at NASA and the Justice Department, while the only nondefense agencies receiving discretionary increases are Homeland Security, Veterans Affairs and Transportation. He would downsize the “bloated overhead of the Pentagon, the general officer corps, the civilian workforce, and the Office of the Secretary of Defense,” and shift responsibility for Ukraine’s defense to a European-led effort. And it would slash about $1 trillion, or 7%, from Medicare payments to providers, which could cause them to limit access and pare back services, as well as through pharmaceutical price restraints opposed by many in Trump’s own party. A small piece of the cost savings would come from charging new user fees to cover the cost of USDA meat, poultry and egg inspections. The plan would keep in place the current $10,000 cap on state and local tax deductions, unlike Vought’s boss who has called for some level of unwinding for the “SALT” cap. And it says nothing of Trump’s new campaign trail innovations like eliminating taxes on tips and overtime pay. The budget also assumes the tax cuts would pay for themselves through economic growth — an assumption that isn’t shared by nonpartisan budget scorekeepers and most mainstream economists.

Gianforte taps Dept. of Ag head to lead MT Fish, Wildlife and Parks
OTTAWA — Cowessess First Nation Chief Erica Beaudin accused Conservative House leader Andrew Scheer of using First Nations drinking water legislation as a political "tactic," saying she's disappointed in what transpired in the House of Commons on Thursday. Government legislation known as Bill C-61 recognizes that First Nations have an inherent right to clean drinking water, after amendments by the Indigenous and Northern affairs committee, and commits the government to providing "adequate and sustainable" funding for water services in First Nations. Liberal MP Jaime Battiste asked on Thursday for unanimous consent from members of Parliament to send the First Nations Clean Drinking Water Act to the Senate — but several MPs said no. Scheer, whose riding includes Cowessess, rose immediately afterward with a similar motion that also condemned the Liberal government for inaction, and that was also defeated. While Cowessess is not under a boil water advisory, Beaudin says people in her community rely on bottled water because they don't trust what comes from their taps. "I'm very disappointed that he used clean drinking water as a tactic in this House in order to say, 'If you do this, then we will do this,' where there's real lives that are being affected," Beaudin told reporters at a news conference. "We're not talking about toys, we're not talking about items that are not essential, but water is essential and you either believe in clean drinking water for everybody or you don't. And if you do, you do everything you possibly can to work towards that happening." Beaudin added that she knows Scheer to be "very genuine" in representing the people of his riding and urged him to get the Conservative party to co-operate to get the legislation passed. According to government data, there are 31 long-term boil water advisories on First Nations across the country, and 36 short-term advisories. The situation in the House became heated when Battiste entered the aisle holding a glass of water. Battiste later said he considered throwing it at the Conservative benches after his motion was defeated. "This is about protecting water. In Nova Scotia, they poisoned our water in the Pictou Landing community for generations, if not decades. I had the chief in the audience with some of her councillors, and I feel like I let them down," said a visibly upset Battiste. Indigenous Services Minister Patty Hajdu blasted the Conservative party's record on ensuring there is clean water on First Nations, and accused them of ignoring First Nations leadership. "So it's a bit rich for them to use that moment to exploit First Nations people and their need for water to play politics in the House. It's appalling," Hajdu said. Hajdu and Battiste were flanked by several chiefs, including Beaudin, and other First Nations representatives in a press conference following the vote. Originally, they planned to speak about the bill moving on to the Senate. The Assembly of First Nations held a special chiefs assembly in Ottawa this week, and on Tuesday the AFN executive endorsed a resolution to continue advocating for the approval of water legislation. The bill is stalled at third reading in the House of Commons because of an ongoing privilege debate that has taken precedence over nearly all other business since late September. The Conservative party did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
