During their protest of Russell Vought’s confirmation, Senate Democrats sounded the alarm about Vought’s role in drafting Project 2025 and his support for vastly expanding the power of the president.

Vought, said Wisconsin senator Tammy Baldwin at 10:30 pm eastern time on Wednesday, “has openly called for the president to defy congress and take control of federal funding decisions that are constitutionally vested in the legislative branch.”

Schiff accused the Trump administration of unlawfully attempting to break down the separation of powers and said Vought would play a role in aiding that effort.

“This is an effort to try to consolidate power, all the power of this government, in the hands of Donald Trump and a few of his hand-picked very wealthy, billionaire friends,” said California Democrat Adam Schiff.

      And giving people the choice between center right and far-right doesn’t motivate voters.

      That choice was made by the voters.

          Why is it that progressives consistently lose elections but talk like they know how to win elections?

          If progressives know how to win better than democrats why do they keep losing elections?

          We are in an echo chamber. Downvotes on lemmy do not reflect a real world consensus on opinions.
