The OMB, he wrote, \u201cis a President\u2019s air-traffic control system\u201d and should be \u201cinvolved in all aspects of the White House policy process,\u201d becoming \u201cpowerful enough to override implementing agencies\u2019 bureaucracies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump did not go into such details when naming Vought but implicitly endorsed aggressive action. Vought, the president-elect said, \u201cknows exactly how to dismantle the Deep State\u201d \u2014 Trump\u2019s catch-all for federal bureaucracy \u2014 and would help \u201crestore fiscal sanity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In June, speaking on former Trump aide Steve Bannon\u2019s \u201cWar Room\u201d podcast, Vought relished the potential tension: \u201cWe\u2019re not going to save our country without a little confrontation.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Vought could help Musk and Trump remake government\u2019s role and scope<\/h2>\n<p>The strategy of further concentrating federal authority in the presidency permeates Project 2025\u2019s and Trump\u2019s campaign proposals. Vought\u2019s vision is especially striking when paired with Trump\u2019s proposals to dramatically expand the president\u2019s control over federal workers and government purse strings \u2014 ideas intertwined with the president-elect tapping mega-billionaire Elon Musk and venture capitalist Vivek Ramaswamy to <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/musk-ramaswamy-trump-budget-cuts-doge-impoundment-8e2fffc27df6acc1b275b1614e66fd01\">lead a \u201cDepartment of Government Efficiency.\u201d<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Trump in his first term sought to remake the federal civil service by reclassifying tens of thousands of federal civil service workers \u2014 who have job protection through changes in administration \u2014 as political appointees, making them easier to fire and replace with loyalists. Currently, only about 4,000 of the federal government\u2019s roughly 2 million workers are political appointees. President Joe Biden rescinded Trump\u2019s changes. Trump can now reinstate them.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Musk\u2019s and Ramaswamy\u2019s sweeping \u201cefficiency\u201d mandates from Trump could turn on an old, defunct constitutional theory that the president \u2014 not Congress \u2014 is the real gatekeeper of federal spending. In his \u201cAgenda 47,\u201d Trump endorsed so-called \u201cimpoundment,\u201d which holds that when lawmakers pass appropriations bills, they simply set a spending ceiling, but not a floor. The president, the theory holds, can simply decide not to spend money on anything he deems unnecessary. <\/p>\n<p>Vought did not venture into impoundment in his Project 2025 chapter. But, he wrote, \u201cThe President should use every possible tool to propose and impose fiscal discipline on the federal government. Anything short of that would constitute abject failure.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s choice immediately sparked backlash. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cRuss Vought is a far-right ideologue who has tried to break the law to give President Trump unilateral authority he does not possess to override the spending decisions of Congress (and) who has and will again fight to give Trump the ability to summarily fire tens of thousands of civil servants,\u201d said Sen. Patty Murray of Washington, a Democrat and outgoing Senate Appropriations chairwoman. <\/p>\n<p>Reps. Jamie Raskin of Maryland and Melanie Stansbury of New Mexico, leading Democrats on the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, said Vought wants to \u201cdismantle the expert federal workforce\u201d to the detriment of Americans who depend on everything from veterans\u2019 health care to Social Security benefits. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cPain itself is the agenda,\u201d they said. <\/p>\n<h2>Homan and Miller reflect Trump\u2019s and Project 2025\u2019s immigration overl<\/h2>\n<h2>ap<\/h2>\n<p>Trump\u2019s protests about Project 2025 always glossed over <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/trump-project-2025-heritage-foundation-e2b1be71422f4afcfd4a397828f7cab6\">overlaps in the two agendas<\/a><\/span>.

Ratcliffe, like the chapter attributed to Carmack, is hawkish toward China.

Carr wrote that the FCC chairman \u201cis empowered with significant authority that is not shared\u201d with other FCC members.
