OMB = “Office of Management and Budget”.

It’s a White House office run by Russell Vought, highly ideological maga institutionalist.

I thought it might be Orange Man Baby.

Sadly, he will not be jailed for all the destruction he has caused. Can we send him the repair bill after he's out of office?

Also famous for being a principal architect and author of Project 2025, which explicitly calls for impoundment as a mechanism for expanding presidential authority to control the Federal budget for political purposes.

In order to usher in their Theocratic Dictatorship, they need to have an un-educated population. This is the start. I hope it takes a few generations and the tide can be turned. But at this rate, the US might end within the next couple years, not decades.

I don't think they are really even trying to hide it. Project 2025 was pretty obvious road map.

It's not even about an uneducated population. It's about preventing research that might be inconvenient politically. Ocean sensors provide evidence of climate change and the current political agenda is to suppress evidence of climate change.

anyone knowing anything is dangerous to fascists. unmoored radicalism does not appreciate competent people.

destroying the professional class and reducing everyone to serfs has been an active ongoing never-closed plot against America that has never been snuffed out, and that is having it's day. the Business Plot people walk among us, and here, 93 years latter, they are getting the hollowing out of the state and any possible upstanding world anchored in anything good that they've worked for. these people, these people, these people.

I fully 100% agree with this, but in this case I don't think there is much consideration for the education system one way or another. I'm not saying it's not happening, I just think it's a distinct project, carried out using different methods, by different actors and agencies than what we see here.

Also trying to indebt the government so much as to prevent anything useful from being restored.

(and one of the authors of Project 2025)

He’s a self described Christian nationalist. He literally believes the laws should reflect Christian morals and views. Like a right wing sharia. And that’s what Project 2025 includes. Things like age verification for porn are meant to be backdoor porn bans, and also meant to hurt gay and lesbian culture. But it’s based on a puritanical Christian theocratic sort of view.
