Do you work at the Office of Management and Budget? Do you know someone who does? Are you a current or former federal worker with information that you can share about Russell Vought? If the answer to any of these is "yes," please contact @andykroll.bsky.social www.propublica.org/tips/
their report on "We Don’t Talk About Leonard (Oct 2023)" was full of insight and excellent. expecting the same for the report on Ross Vought and The Heritage Foundation. www.propublica.org/article/we-d...
These evil men and women should be sent to a hard labor prison for the rest of their lives. They are committing treason and high crimes.
Russell Vought is a giant chunk of giraffe 💩 shit!
As he is the architect of Project 2025, shouldn't that be enough? I mean, it is all in that document, ALL OF IT.
Ask his ex-wife. "He stated in Project 2025 that his final goal is to bend or break the bureaucracy to the presidential will and send power from Washington D.C back to America's families, churches, local governments and states. He said that he wants to traumatize federal employees." _Wikipedia
'Russell and Mary Vought were seen as a power couple in conservative circles. Mary Vought : President of Vought Strategies, Senior Fellow at the Independent Women’s Forum, a former aide to Senator Ron Johnson and then-Rep. Mike Pence.' celebsuburb.com/who-is-russe... www.iwf.org/people/mary-...
Good point, the wives know the most 😏

Russel Vought for the Gibbet! 2025!
The dude definitely looks like a bitter bitch, who probably stalked and harassed a few women in college. I can see it in his face alone.
Hahaha!
I am looking forward to reading your article. Best of luck in getting the information quickly.
That guy, let's learn more about him.
I may be totally blind and naive. There are so many of these independent truth seekers…if we as a nation don’t survive this administration, it’s because we chose ignorance and indifference. Shame on us if this happens. This is not Republican, Democratic…this is truth vs. lies, right vs. wrong.
I am cheering for you in writing a story about Vought. He is way more ruthless than Miller or Bannon, or even Trump. Right up there with Putin and Orban. Evil to the very core.
He is the worst!

Given that the only beneficiary of the wholesale destruction of American science is the Chinese Communist Party, not surprising if it turns out that OMB director and Project 2025 architect Russell Vought is on Xi Jinping’s payroll. bsky.app/profile/jenl...
Y'all gotta figure out which government agency employed the dude Vought's wife left him for.
He needs to be tarred & feathered
Vought and Kevin Roberts need to go to a firing squad !
I've come to think of #RussellVought as the president, and #Trump as his straw man. Vought is the orchestrator. Pro Pub, we need this article ASAP! Thanks for all your great reporting. I have a list of Vought-related links I cd share w you, but I'm sure you don't need me for that.
Mark EXEMPT on your W4 and defund this regime.
vought is the next devil to the head devil (tRump)
you guys are the best.
I don’t and I’m not, but i look forward to reading what you come up with. In the meantime, Go Tigers!
Good on you!! I think anyone who has any DIRT on any person in this admin. should be shouting it from the Mountaintops!

Project 2025. All dreamed up by unfortunate looking trolls who couldn't even get laid in a morgue.
that explains why an aide has to describe to trump what he is signing and EO he did not think up or have anyone write them on his behalf
Traitor.
It really pisses me off this was published Aug 15 202FOUR. This, to me, is one of the most important videos I’ve seen. I share it with friends and family.
I agree
Summer reading while media were forcing us to focus on inflation. Seems quaint now.
Traitor. Hang him for treason.
If only🙏
“I had him bent over Tim Scott’s back while wrecking his rectum” Signed Satan
Best of luck on your story!
Oh please take this guy apart
Trauma among fed workers is real. Coincidentally yesterday, a friend who is a GS14 supervisor at an agency, told me that she had to send an official letter to Vought to respond to his mass request for status. She was a MAGA. I've been texting her & others latest Trump horrors. Today, she blocked me.
should be targeted
Reminds me of Vought International, the crime industry from 'The Boys'. Certainly the corruption is similar. There DOES seem to be some kind of connection.
Call me an old fart - if you must - but, if you're going on social media, asking for people's help with an investigative piece you're currently undertaking, perhaps removing your backward baseball cap ought to be contemplated!
I must. You’re an old fart.
I’m willing to bet money that I’m an older fart w/ a serious grammar cop kink. So while I empathize, in this case you’re wrong. If you’d read/listen to Kroll’s uniformly excellent work, you would not give a rip about his sartorial choices. Here’s an example: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/o...
He's pure evil!
I define democracy as unassailable truth. Best wishes. My admiration for your brave, independent attitude towards the powerful (= human insanity) Far away, from Europe, sheer selfishness pushes me to encourage you. Same battle everywhere.
GREAT journalistic idea to reach out for info on these platforms!! I just hope you are posting this on OTHER platforms too -- like 'X' and Truth Social, esp. -- where membership is most likely a REQUIREMENT for CURRENT EMPLOYEES, who most likely know him (& know what he's DOING). Good luck! 👍🫡🧯😎
Stephen Miller is our enemy
Thank you for doing this—and the best of luck to you. What kind of person wishes trauma on others? Please make him famous.
Go get this a-hole! I wish I could help you 🙏
Oh I have heard of him. What is the P2025 tracker these days? Fifty percent complete? 😭
FYI Reddit has sub for NIH workers and fed govt workers- assuming you know that though.
Getting the #Epstein files disclosed served its purpose. There’s a coupe in progress to stop us from seeing #Trumpstreason. I think this needs to go on the back burner while we put out the fires. If we don’t act quickly we’ll be the legitimate gov in exile. darkskyinnovation.com/articles/civ...
Republicans are destroying America and America's democracy Republicans are hypocrites and Christian racists
Another interesting video.
They taking our money and lining their pockets!!!!
So glad youre writing about Vought. He is a traitor, in my book. Selling out American values and our Constitution for his own White Christian Nationalist agenda.
It's worse than that. One of his daughters has cystic fibrosis (CF). He was able to make sure HIS daughter was able to receive a drug at least partially developed by the NIH. Now, he's making sure that other kids don't get that same chance at the medicine. He's a son-of-a-bitch and a snake.
Russell Vought and Project 2025 are the enemy of the people.
He's a fuckin' TRAITOR!
Good luck. I hope you hear from several people. Look forward to reading your story.
Great informative post. Shared.
nice to meet you. disabled black trans man here i'm going to be running for office, or try to but i'm poor. i'm on the verge of being homeless. i've contacted 211 and mutual aid orgs. it's not enough if you or anyone you know can donate/share it'd be much appreciated ca: mphighaf staying mad
TY
Proud to be a monthly donator. Keep up the great work.
Andy, you might look more credible if you were not wearing your baseball cap backwards. Undignified.
man supports a proper team
Asshole Russell vought

"A Death on W Street" is an excellent read!
Go get'em, Andy.
I hope to see him on a rope one day for what he's done.
Get his ass.
Russ is an extreme scumbag and should be in prison.
Ok people. If he’s talking to you. Stand the fuck up and do your personal duty to our country!!
I hate this man. Wish god would take him back!! Oh and Steve miller too!!
this is Fred durst
First we find out Dexter Holland has a PhD in molecular biology whose research helped develop covid and hiv treatments and now Fred Durst is a ProPublica investigative reporter?
Can’t wait to read your report. I still can't wrap my head around how a guy from Trumbull, CT—the Constitution State—ends up so radicalized that he wants to impose a theocratic, authoritarian regime in the U.S.
Vought is awful. He’s only 47. Does he look 47? I think he easily looks 10 years older. It’s all the EVIL.
Stephen Miller and Emil Bova both look like late 60s.
I was thinking the same thing. Russell Vought, Lindsey Graham, and Mike Pence all look 10 years older. Hate ages you.
It truly does. My Mom (until recently) looked incredibly young for her age. People used to think we were sisters.
He looks 67
I had to give you a follow for that one. The people in this Administration and with Project 2025 look like something out of a bad movie. If someone wrote a script like this we would say it was way over the top and laugh it off. Would we ever have thought every cartoon villain would come to life? 😳🤷♀️☮️
IKR! 😜😂
$7 min wage - $3/gal gasoline - $1 car maintenance= $3 min wage which will buy 0 health care, housing, food.
Godspeed brothers and sisters, he's near the root of the evil
Yes!! That terd needs to be flushed!
I've never met the guy, but from what I have read about him in the media, I hate him already.
Lock that mother fucker Vought up!
I fail to see any problem with what President Trump has done.
Thank you SOOOOOO much for your great journalism!!!
Dude's a prime candidate for French Revolution style justice.
💯
Yes he is.
Fuck Russel Vought. Heritage Foundation billionaire. Satan's buttplug.
@jennycohn.bsky.social
Thank you so much for doing this and for all your hard work. 
I luv propublica putting a target on that christo fascist piece of dog shit more than anything please eviscerate this trash
he went to wheaton college they are so called christians they say there is a thin line between love and hate there is a thin line between jesus and hitler and they meet at wheaton Illinois
Vought is the mastermind behind Project 2025.
There are 4 key people that need getting ousted: Vought, Trump, Vance & Miller
You need to add other people behind the scenes who help fund their campaigns...Elon Musk and Peter Thiel. Both are white South Africans.
Thiel, absolutely! He groomed JDV for this.
We need a full clean sweep of the cabinet, white house staff and most of the Rs in Congress. They are all huge immoral 💩 s
Johnson, 3rd in line!
And a cast of thousands, Patel, many many more
EVERY TRUMP PICK!
As the dominoes fall !
Lets get the Vought out!
Yes, yes, yes, yes, the most diabolical 👿 four
Put this request on r/fednews @propublica.org
Thank you. You are doing the work to bring light to the darkness.
Take him down.
I wonder what happened in Vought’s life to make him the way he is?
No shit. Vought is a neonazi woman hating evangelical nationalist. He's the flip side of the Taliban. By flip side I mean not Muslim. Literally the only difference.
I guess he will never be free to stroll about the USA. We are the most armed country in the world. Best be looking over your back and each shoulder there, incel.
Oh I have heard of him and the guy lies as much as tRump
I want to read your report, he is a diabolical 👿 creature
Comment for visibility
Get it done!
Thank you for your work. Russell Vought and Project 2025 are destroying our economy and country. He is hate filled with an agenda that serve a few. Vought and Trump are ruining the faith and hope people in America once had. My hope is that those who can help you will step up NOW!
Why would anyone not want their staff to come to work?
Thanks for doing this important work.
Corruption of human ego(under negative unconscious control)
Take that MFer down.
This is why the VA is hemorrhaging doctors , nurses and administration staff. They will end up losing so much money on community care it will be ridiculous.
Russell Vought is part of the rise of Christian nationalism, along with Mike Johnson, Lauren Boebert, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and several other government leaders. It could be showing up in OMB.
Do you known if he is a club member of Rockbridge?
We need deep throat!
