Vought is lying. 60-70% of Project 2025's executive action proposals have been initiated or implemented — like gutting education and environmental laws. 30-40% is currently proposed as legislation — gutting healthcare, banking deregulations, voter suppression, and more.

Trump is proposing a $1 trillion military budget. Roughly half of US defense spending goes to private military contractors, with investigations finding that these companies routinely price-gouge. Oh, and the Pentagon has failed seven straight audits. "Fiscal responsibility."

The tax breaks in the GOP's "big beautiful bill" would disproportionately help the wealthy — with the richest 1% reaping 25% of the benefits. Meanwhile, it would kick nearly 9 million people off Medicaid over the decade and slash food assistance programs. Reverse Robin Hood.
