Still SeatedRussell Vought is the Director of the Office of Management and Budget and a longtime conservative budget and policy operative. He previously held the same role in Trump’s first term and has been closely linked to aggressive executive power arguments and the policy vision behind a more ideological second Trump administration. Vought’s thing is taking deeply partisan priorities and dressing them up in the language of governance, usually with a side of culture-war certainty and institutional hardball. On Yeeted or Seated, he is one of the people trying to turn abstract right-wing wish lists into actual federal machinery, which is exactly as fun as it sounds.
