Russell Vought just rewrote the rules for $1.1 trillion in federal money



Sometimes The Fascism Is In The Fine Print
Save America Movement
June 23, 2026

Description
Yes, Russell Vought is a nerd -- but he's an evil one.

That's why he's using his power as OMB Director to push a rule change that would block ANY federal grant that doesn't please Donald Trump. That means money that builds your bridges, funds your local health clinics and helps rebuild your communities after disasters can be dismissed by Donald and crew as "DEI" or "waste" and simply ... written off.

Dr. Angie Rasmussen, Science Chair of The Save America Movement breaks down this rule change, explains how Vought and his cronies are working to get it installed without a fuss -- and how you can help make a fuss anyway, at this link: https://www.regulation....

Head to that link and give Russ Vought an earful. These fascists don't get to change the rules for how states can access more than $1 trillion in funding without a fight.
