Thank you @TuckerCarlson for having me on & letting me share what I learned about how to tackle the Deep administrative state. Grateful!
Russ Vought ran OMB under Trump the first time, and hopefully will again. Here’s what he learned about how the deep state actually works. (0:00) What is the Office of Management and Budget? (7:57) How Our Intel Agencies Overrule the President (29:21) What Will the Congressional…

.@WHOMB Director @russvought: "Appropriators want a scenario where we propose cuts and they use that in their bills to then pay down for higher levels of spending. We're $37 trillion in debt. We actually have to have a dollar of cut go to a dollar of deficit reduction."
.@WHOMB Director @russvought: "We believe on a host of fronts, Chairman Powell has been too late — and the President is doing what the President should do, which is get out there and articulate those views on behalf of the American people."
.@WHOMB Director @russvought: "@POTUS learned a lot from being able to see [the Fed renovation] with his own eyes... This renovation, the combination of all of the headquarter buildings is $3 billion — and the overrun just for those two buildings... is $1 billion."
President Trump is 100% correct in the numbers he used on his tour of Federal Reserve (FRB) site yesterday. FRB documents show FRB 2022 Budget (below) adopted in November 2021 was $1.4 Billion for the Eccles & 1951 Building portion of the FRB HQ project and a total budget for…
After Jay Powell contradicted President Trump on the cost of the Federal Reserve renovations, I asked Trump’s budget chief and deputy chief of staff about the numbers:
Honored to join President Trump as he signs the rescissions package into law to deliver a major win for taxpayers. There is a lot more than $9 billion of waste in Washington — time for another rescissions package!

Today in a CNBC interview, I called for a review of the Federal Reserve. It is my belief that the central bank should conduct an exhaustive internal review of its non-monetary policy operations. Significant mission creep and institutional growth have taken the Fed into areas that…
Deputy Chief of Staff @JamesBlair47 on the Fed's massive $2.5B "renovation": "We want a site visit... They should show us all the revisions, and they should just let us see what's going on—and whether or not what the chair said in front of the Senate Banking Committee is true."
35 years ago today. Deion Sanders legs out an inside-the-park home run.
Thank you @MarioDB! Your leadership was vital.
🇺🇸Another Promise Made and Kept. I was proud to join @HouseGOP in delivering on @POTUS' promise to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse, ensuring the American government is accountable to the U.S. taxpayer. It's very simple: Americans want taxpayer dollars spent prudently and on…
I am now in receipt of all documents & plans submitted by the Federal Reserve to the National Capital Planning Commission. No updates have been submitted since 2021. Today I will submit to the Fed my formal request for all plan revisions and changes since.
RUSS VOUGHT: For decades, defunding the Corporation for Public Broadcasting was just talk. Now, thanks to Trump’s leadership, we’re on the 1-yard line to pull its funding for two straight years. @russvought
The first step to getting our financial independence back 🦅🇺🇸
The last time Congress passed a rescissions package was 1999. Federal spending has exploded since then. With the Senate’s approval of the $9 billion package overnight, and expected passage in the House, it has @RichAStern hopeful this could be the start of a trend. “Actually…
I've heard people call for NPR to be defunded for years now. President Trump accomplished it in his first six months.
🚨 BREAKING: The Senate has PASSED the Trump-backed Rescissions Act in a 51-48 vote.
After several decades of talking about it and trying to do it with no effect, Republicans are finally cutting off federal funding for public broadcasting—an extraordinary win nytimes.com/2025/07/17/us/…
