Senate Confirms Project 2025 Architect As Trump's Budget Director Vought was confirmed on a party-line vote of 53-47, putting him into one of the most influential positions in the federal government.

But wait the Felon-in-Chief didn't know anything about project 2025... and his cult and #FoxNews at least pretended to believe him.

After some Costco shareholders asked the company to end its DEI policies, this was their response: β€œOur board has considered this proposal and believes that our commitment to an enterprise rooted in respect and inclusion is appropriate and necessary."

This explains why Costco is an industry leader!

#Trump didn't care, because he himself is an "adjudicated rapist" and convicted felon... but nearly half the voters didn't care. The greatest tragedy is the lack of ethics of those Americans.
