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 ... blocked.

We’re tracking a bureaucratic document moving through Washington right now called the OMB Proposed Federal Financial Assistance Rule. You probably haven’t heard about this at all, and it’s very important to understand how it will impact science funding – NIH grants, research dollars, academic institutions – but it goes far beyond science.

This rule governs every federal grant to every recipient across every federal agency. A combined $1.1 trillion goes to the basic infrastructure of American life. Roads. Schools. Hospitals. On average, 36 cents of every dollar a state spends.

Trump’s OMB Director, Russell Vought — the architect of Project 2025’s plan to dismantle the administrative state — just rewrote the rules for it all. Without a vote. Without an act of Congress. Effective October 1, 2026.
