Vought is Exhibit A in the case that Republicans are the party of uncaring cruelty. There is simply no other explanation. He is doing irreparable harm to this country, with special emphasis on hurting the programs that have traditionally benefited the most vulnerable people in need of assistance.

Fascist sadism!

Deceitful, low empathy, manipulative, and unconcerned about the rights of others…there’s a name for that.

Who agrees that Christian nationalism has got nothing to do with being religious, but it’s a white supremacy

It’s the most important story nobody knows

Appreciate someone flagging it to my colleague, which led me to write about it.

- And Vought doesn’t seem to give one nano-shit about it…

Yup. Cures for me and not thee.

And not merely by NIH but by former NIH Director Francis Collins, whose group cloned CFTR, defining the mechanistic basis for almost everything that followed in diagnosis and treatment.

Scum of the earth.

This dude has a bunch of issues.
I am sad to hear that his daughter has CF, but also sad that he is a dad. He seems to have a rotten soul.
His disdain for the fed workforce is really odd. Like personal.
I loathe him.

I’m sure his daughter will continue to get the care she needs, my niece may not. So he can F all the way off.

I pray that Vought will soon meet the God for whom he has done so much work, so he can be congratulated in person.

Guarantee that he does not care. His daughter, your daughter, doesn’t care

It’s a death cult. They’re all old white men who don’t care how many they kill.

How do these people hate this country so much? What's the motivation for being so evil?

He is the fuel behind this dumpster fire that used to be a Democracy. VOUGHT IS A TRAITOR who's only desire is an Authoritarian regime run exclusively by white men only. You sycophant MAGA women will simply be chattel, with only the rights your master or husband (interchangeable) bestows upon you.

gregggonsalves.bsky.social•20 hours ago

He is interested in bringing pain and trauma to those who serve our country, to cut funding so it’s impossible for people to do their jobs. Who would say this out loud even if they believed it? Listen here. 2/https://youtu.be/oBH9TmeJN_M

Just put it all together. The family crying together about their daughter‘s health, then having a miracle brought to them by the NIH and then turning around and gutting that same agency like a fish. 3/

Perhaps, just perhaps, he doesn't even love his daughter.

gregggonsalves.bsky.social•19 hours ago

And doing it with relish, sadistic glee. Oh and he’s a deeply religious man. He does this in the name
of his god. 4/ https://www.vox.com/today-explained-podcast/400358/russell-vought-omb-doge-project-2025

No one knows this man though as head of the Office of Management and Budget he has more power than most in the administration. He is clearly pulling the strings on the destruction of federal agencies. 5/

gregggonsalves.bsky.social•19 hours ago

We need to make him famous, to take his zealotry and fanaticism and expose it to the light of day. Wherever he goes for the rest of his days, he should find no peace of mind. 6/

Finally, yes! Doge was to steal the data, Vought and Project 2025 are behind the funding cuts and firings

The MAINSTREAM MEDIA IS DELIBERATELY NOT REPORTING ON THIS

nonayerbiznatch.bsky.social•18 hours ago

God was created not by humans, but by Man, for the purposes of not serving humankind but men. God was invented so that men, not humans could say they were here first and women are an afterthought. Men wanted to be known as "better and more like God" so they told everyone that God is a man.

Sacrificing his daughter to his ideology. Can't get more ReQublican than that.

Interestingly, his ex Mary Vought is in USA Today praising all trump has done for women and her daughters. No mention of the NIH of course. https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2025/04/30/trump-immigration-laken-riley-act/83323817007/

Russell Vought is one of the most dangerous people in the administration, and while Hegseth distracts us, he is quietly destroying our government and our standard of living. He is a twisted, cruel, small hearted man.

sicarie.bsky.social•11 hours ago

just look at his face, you know his wife(or any woman for that matter) never had an orgasm that he had anything to do with.

amanda0852.bsky.social•19 hours ago

He's probably pissed at them for saving her life; people with CF or other debilitating diseases/injuries will be rounded up as "non-productives" as Project 2025 reaches its apex. What an annoyance for Vought to have to wait so long, eh?

waxtadpole.bsky.social•18 hours ago

I've said it before: hypocrisy is not a vice for these people: indeed, it's a GOP-established political strategy and thus a point of pride.
