Russell Vought - from Project 2025 to Trump's shutdown enforcer

The Office of Management and Budget boss may not be a household name, but he's a key figure in Washington's shutdown.
www.bbc.com www.bbc.com

"I know nothing about Project 2025," Trump wrote in July 2024. "I disagree with some of the things they're saying and some of the things they're saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal."

Now, however, Trump is using the conservative blueprint as a threat to get Democrats to agree to his budgetary demands. And he is holding up Vought, who authored a chapter on the use of executive power, as a kind of budgetary angel of death, ready to take a scythe to government programmes near and dear to Democrats.

In case that particular metaphor wasn't clear, on Thursday night Trump shared an AI-generated parody music video on Truth Social with Vought portrayed as the grim reaper, set to altered lyrics of Blue Oyster Cult's Don't Fear the Reaper…..

Balding and bespectacled, with a greying beard, Vought's public statements typically have the measured cadence of a bean-counter or professor. He lacks the narrow-eyed glower and amped-up rhetoric of Stephen Miller, another longtime Trump adviser who oversees White House immigration policy.

Make no mistake, however, Vought has become an influential player in this White House, having turned the Office of Management and Budget – usually referred to by its acronym OMB - into the principal engine behind Trump's push to slash government spending and its workforce.

trump and the Republicans should simply allow people to have their healthcare. Then if the money is used for illegal immigrants healthcare simply arrest those responsible since it's already against the law to use taxpayer money on illegal immigrants healthcare.
Win win for trump. Voters are happy to keep their healthcare and lower premiums and trump can prosecute his enemies for breaking the law if they do break the already existing law that has existed for decades.

Easy peasy. However, trump wants this shutdown so he can strip power from the other branches of government and increase the power of the executive

Honest question. Does it register? Will it affect how you interact with information going forward?

I doesn’t feel good, but if it’s true I’ll at least own up to it. Again not about immigration like the OP stated, it was about names on the license.

California explains granting CDL to "No Name Given"

A $1.6M cargo theft bust involving someone called "No Name Given" shines a spotlight on CDL credentialing in California.

“Diamond No Name Given” in a cargo theft…

Additionally, applicants for licenses with the California DMV, including Real IDs, can submit a wide range of documents, including things like photocopies of cell phone bills, letters from any shelter, nonproft, employer, faith-based organization, or government within the U.S. attesting that the applicant is a resident of California.

Again question no names on a DL, are you onboard with this?

I just decided to phrase a query to google, based on what you posted.

Sure seemed directly related to your post. There were several links not included in the copy and paste below. One was the Snopes link. If I distrust what Snopes is saying, I know how to dig further to see if Snopes is misleading in any respect, or if clarification can alter a Snopes response.

But, bottom line, if this reply bore no relation to what you posted, maybe you should start over……

Because, this really did seem to be your question:

“just want to know if anyone is onboard with giving out state drivers licenses without names?”

Hence, my query: “Do commercial drivers licenses not require the legal name of the driver?”

I’m going to go out on a limb here, and just say of course it answered your question. It answers the question you asked. Not trusting the answer is up to you, but that was your question.

And the AI overview of my query included the Snopes link, which seemed a reasonable answer. There was more, links that I did not include in the copy and paste below. For further research.

Here was the more complete answer to my query. I know you said immigration issues were not what you were focused on, but your question made a query easy to form. What else do you expect, if not answers directly related to the question about giving out state drivers licenses without names?

No, a commercial driver's license (CDL) does require a driver's full legal name, as federal regulations mandate it must contain the driver's full name, signature, and mailing address, along with other identifying information. The idea that some CDLs might not require a name is inaccurate; while there are exceptions for individuals with only a single name, this does not mean the legal name is excluded.

Why a Legal Name is Required

  • Federal Regulations:
    The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) sets forth the mandatory information that must appear on a CDL.
  • Identification and Security:
    Requiring a full legal name is crucial for personal identification, security, and ensuring that the driver is properly identified by authorities.
Exceptions and Clarifications
  • Single-Name Individuals:
    In cases where a person's official identification documents only list a single name or do not separate first and last names, the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) might record the name as "No Name Given". This policy allows for the licensing of individuals with such unique naming structures, but it does not eliminate the need for the applicant's full legal name as it appears on their identity documents.

  • Identity Verification:
    To obtain a CDL, applicants must present identification documents bearing their legal name and date of birth, demonstrating they have a valid legal identity.

Donald Trump Wants FCC To “Look Into The License” Of NBC In Rant Over Al Sharpton’s MSNBC Show

The president railed against Al Sharpton's MSNBC show.
deadline.com deadline.com

Donald Trump once again called for an FCC investigation of a television network over their news coverage, this time over MSNBC’s continued employment of Al Sharpton.

On Truth Social, Trump wrote, “I knew Al Sharpton for many years, not that it matters, but he was a major ‘TRUMP’ fan. He’d ask me to go to his fake Rallies all the time, because I brought BIG Crowds, and he couldn’t get anybody to come without me. Then he did the Tawana Brawley Hoax, one of the worst Low Level Scams in History, and that set him back, BIG TIME! Then he got to know Brian Roberts, Chairman of Fake News NBC, who gave him what would become one of the Lowest Rated Shows in Television History. Roberts is afraid to take him off because it wouldn’t be ‘Politically Correct.’ This is just one of the many reasons that the Federal Communications Commission should look into the license of NBC, which shows almost exclusively positive Democrat content. Likewise, ABC Fake News — About the same thing, 97% negative to Republicans!”

The FCC licenses broadcast stations, not networks, and has limited oversight over MSNBC because it is a cable network.

But Trump has a history of calling for networks to be investigated over their news coverage, even though it is protected by the First Amendment.

Trump’s fascist Justice Dept. does not have a snowball’s chance in Hades of convicting James Comey. Just another waste of time.

Central witness undermines case against James Comey, prosecutors concluded: Sources

Ex-FBI Director James Comey is set to be arraigned Wednesday, but prosecutors investigating him determined that a central witness would prove "problematic," sources say.
abcnews.go.com abcnews.go.com

Federal prosecutors investigating former FBI Director James Comey for allegedly making false statements to Congress determined that a central witness in their probe would prove "problematic" and likely prevent them from establishing their case to a jury, sources familiar with their findings told ABC News.

Daniel Richman -- a law professor who prosecutors allege Comey authorized to leak information to the press -- told investigatorsthat the former FBI director instructed him not to engage with the media on at least two occasions and unequivocally said Comey never authorized him to provide information to a reporter anonymously ahead of the 2016 election, the sources said.

Comey, who was indicted last month on charges of making a false statement and obstruction related to 2020 testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, is due to appear in a Virginia courtroom for the first time for his arraignment Wednesday -- but Justice Department officials have privately expressed that the case could quickly unravel under the scrutiny of a federal judge and defense lawyers.

According to prosecutors who investigated the circumstances surrounding Comey's 2020 testimony for two months, using Richman's testimony to prove that Comey knowingly provided false statements to Congress would result in "likely insurmountable problems" for the prosecution.

Investigators detailed those conclusions in a lengthy memo last month recommending that the office not move forward in charging Comey, according to sources familiar with the memo's contents.

Lindsey Halligan, a Trump loyalist hand-picked to replace the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia who resisted bringing prosecutions against Trump's political foes, still moved forward in presenting the case before a grand jury in Alexandria, Virginia, and secured two out of three counts she sought against Comey over his 2020 congressional testimony.

During grand jury proceedings, prosecutors have no obligation to present evidence favorable to a defendant -- but such evidence must be handed over to the defendant before trial.

If you say so. You’d know all the made up gossip and every juicy detail about the man. So how has your obsession with him paid off for you?

Trump is a celebrity sideline reporter at the Israel/Gaza peace plan. He's eagerly letting us know what other countries are doing without his involvement.
