In this episode, we speak with Tyler Creighton about the ongoing struggle to save the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) from defunding and closure at the hands of Russell Vought in the second Trump Administration. Creighton is a lawyer at the CFPB and a member of the National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU), Chapter 335. Before joining the CFPB, Creighton clerked for the Massachusetts Appeals Court and, prior to that, he was an organizer for pro-democracy reforms at Common Cause and ReThink Media. We talk with Creighton about life at the CFPB under the leadership of Vought, central architect of the notorious Project 2025 document and avowed opponent of the agency he now directs. During our conversation, Creighton details how, in spite of Vought's attempts to defund and close the agency, the CFPB continues to survive. In Creighton's telling, the agency's endurance owes in no small part to the continuous labor actions undertaken by the NTEU and its members. In February 2025, for example, the union sued the Trump Administration, securing an injunction against Vought's efforts to close the agency. (Read the judge's extraordinary Memorandum Opinion here.) Then, in late December, a federal district court judge ruled that the Trump administration must continue to fund the CFPB through the Federal Reserve, contradicting Vought's absurd claim that the CFPB can no longer seek financing from the Fed because the nation's Central Bank is operating at a loss.Despite the NTEU's string of successes, the fate of the CFPB still remains to be determined. The good news, however, is that there are ways that you can support the bureau as it rounds into its second year of the second Trump Administration. Learn more about the fight to save the CFPB from the CFPB Union website. Follow and share news from the NTEU account on Bluesky. Join the union's public demonstrations, if you live near or find yourself visiting Washington D.C.

Heidi Harrison talks with Mary Vogt of the Heritage Foundation about the major political winners and losers of 2025. They highlight the Trump administration's action to cut $185 million in Minnesota funding as a victory for accountability and fiscal responsibility. The conversation emphasizes the rise of independent and conservative journalists, like Nick Shirley, who are exposing misuse of taxpayer funds despite mainstream media pushback. They also discuss the economy as a slow-burn winner, with policy moves like no tax on tips benefiting Americans. Looking ahead to the midterms, Vogt identifies economic affordability and practical policy solutions as the central issues that will resonate with voters.

Thursday December 25, 2025 Lawsuit Over Vought's Attempt to Starve CFPB by Russell Mokhiber

Christian Nightmares, our favorite chronicler of evangelical Christianity's tightening grip on American politics in 2025, returns to Tell Me About Your Father for a look back at a truly frightening year in Christian Nationalism that aims to ensure that America is truly one nation under God Trump. In this episode, the anonymous editor of Christian Nightmares, who goes by “Christian”, walks us through his top 5 purveyors of Christian Nationalism this year, which feature such luminaries as pastor Joel Webbon, who matter of factly believes women don't belong in public life and shouldn't vote, much less podcast, and Eric Orwoll, whose white power organization Return to the Land is hard at work building a “fortress for the white race” in Ravenden, Arkansas. We also talk with Christian about how the year has given rise to a glut of militarized Christian branding and survivalist drag, complete with camo, tactical gear, and merch for battles that don't exist. (We know what this country needs: more gun-toting men and boys.)Then there's the growing Christian Nationalist war on “empathy.”As another gruesome grifter, pastor Josh McPherson says: “Empathy is toxic. Empathy will align you with Hell.” We try to parse why Charlie Kirk also couldn't “stand the word.” It's a world view in which care for others is a trap set by childless uggos and fat Army generals. Compassion is always a weakness, and the people who believe it wholeheartedly are right in the center of power in the US. It's not your mama's Golden Rule(book). And, as Christian explained in the interview he did with us back in 2021, he knows this world well. Raised in an evangelical church that instilled constant fear of a punitive god in its members, his work has become a living record of the fundamentalism that shaped his childhood and has since crept its way into the White House under the cloak of Russell Vought's Project 2025, curling up at Stephen Miller's feet.Rob Reiner tried to warn us, but we're not sure the country will listen until Vought takes away their porn.We are wishing you all a happy and healthy holiday break from your jobs, surrounded by the love of your chosen family, favs and friends.Yours,Erin, Elizabeth and MattThis podcast is 100% creator and reader-supported.

Marc Cox talks with Mary Vought from The Heritage Foundation about the growing influence of socialist politicians in major U.S. cities, particularly New York City.

Vought also outlines the broader political strategy for conservatives and the long-term consequences cities may face when adopting “woke” agendas.

The SuperHero Homies are back to break down Gen V Season 2 — Amazon Prime's hit The Boys spin-off that's full of blood, satire, and super-powered chaos! In this episode, we review the final four episodes of Gen V and discuss how the season connects to The Boys Season 5 and the larger Vought universe. Before diving into the main discussion, we open with a 30-minute cold open covering all things pop culture and comics! We start with Absolute Batman Annual #1, where Batman beats up Nazis and white supremacists — which only makes us love this run even more. We also share our thoughts on new releases like Weapons, Bring Her Back, Welcome to Derry, and House Full of Dynamite. Plus, we talk about the upcoming Outer Worlds 2 video game and why Swamp Thing is the perfect gothic horror comic to revisit this Halloween season. Once we dive into Gen V, we discuss everything from standout characters like Cipher (aka Godolkin) and Polarity, to the show's deeper flaws — including its increasing reliance on tired superhero tropes and tone-deaf storytelling. We explore the highs, lows, and missed potential of this season while predicting what might come next in The Boys Season 5.

Nearly two months after calling on the Office of Management and Budget to bar use of xAI's Grok chatbot in government, a coalition of advocacy groups is pressing its case further after the General Services Administration struck a deal with Elon Musk's AI company to deploy Grok across the federal government. In a letter sent Wednesday to OMB Director Russell Vought, the advocacy groups reiterated their concerns in the wake of the GSA OneGov deal, along with recent comments from Michael Kratsios, the director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. “OMB is entrusted with ensuring that AI systems procured by the federal government meet the highest standards of truth-seeking, accuracy and neutrality,” the letter, led by Public Citizen, stated. “Grok has repeatedly demonstrated failures in these areas and Director Kratsios himself has confirmed that such behavior is the precise type that Executive Order 14319 was designed to prevent.” The letter refers to an executive order signed by President Donald Trump in July that seeks to prevent “woke AI,” or ideological biases in models that are used by the federal government. The groups argued in their August letter to Vought that the use of Grok contradicts this order, given its past controversies with spewing antisemitic and pro-Hitler content. Weeks after the letter was sent, GSA inked a deal with xAI to offer Grok models to the government for a nominal cost. Under the deal, federal agencies can buy Grok 4 and Grok 4 Fast for 42 cents until March 2027. The White House appears to be moving forward with plans to redesign federal government websites, registering a new government domain — techforce.gov — this week. The new URL, which was first discovered Thursday by a bot tracking new government domains, leads to a sign-in page that states “National Design Studio” and “Tech Force” at the top. It includes a form for users to submit their email and receive a code to access the website. Records maintained by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency show the domain was registered Oct. 24 and last changed Wednesday. The domain registration comes more than two months after President Donald Trump signed an executive order launching an “America by Design” initiative focused on both digital and physical spaces. A new National Design Studio and chief design officer will lead the initiative and coordinate agency actions. The Daily Scoop Podcast is available every Monday-Friday afternoon.

In a New Yorker article co-published with ProPublica, reporter Andy Kroll describes Russell Vought, director of the Office of Management and Budget, as a "shadow president" with oversized influence. “I don't think you can take in the full sweep of what this administration has done in less than a year and not come away with thinking that chaos is a goal, and certainly an outcome that serves Vought and his team's larger agenda of putting cracks in the federal government, shaking the stability of this typically rock-solid steady institution that is the federal bureaucracy,” Kroll says.  Follow Fresh Air on instagram @nprfreshair, and subscribe to our weekly newsletter for gems from the Fresh Air archive, staff recommendations, and a peek behind the scenes. Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

White House Budget Director Russell Vought suggests at least 10,000 federal workers could be fired during the government shutdown, now in Day 15, but a federal judge in California temporarily blocks the layoffs as a violation of the law; Senate again votes down the Republican-drafted temporary government funding bill for a ninth time, with Senate Democrats insisting health care provisions be included; Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent accuses China of going back on a trade deal on rare earth minerals, saying, 'China is a command and control economy, and the United States and our allies will neither be commanded nor controlled'; President Donald Trump and FBI Director Kash Patel give an update on anti-crime efforts across the country they call 'Summer Heat'; Supreme Court hears a case on involving a Black-majority Congressional district in Louisiana & the Voting Rights Act whose decision could limit the use of race in drawing legislative maps. We will hear some of the oral argument and talk with The Hill's courts & legal reporter Zach Schonfeld (34); Arizona's Democratic Congressional delegation makes another push to get Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva sworn-in, accusing Speaker Johnson of not doing so to prevent release of federal files on the investigation of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The Trump administration pushed forward Friday with plans to fire federal employees amid the government shutdown, directing reductions-in-force at the Departments of Health and Human Services, Education, and Housing and Urban Development, among other agencies. Prior to and during the current shutdown, the White House repeatedly threatened to lay off additional federal workers in a bid to further its efforts to shrink the size of the government. The Trump administration maintains Democrats are to blame for the shutdown, though Democrats contend that a spending bill from Republicans — who control all levers of power — wouldn't adequately fund health care. Russ Vought, the director of the Office of Management and Budget, posted on X early Friday afternoon that the “RIFs have begun,” without offering additional details. An OMB spokesperson told FedScoop the RIFs began and are “substantial.” In a preview of his discussions with Vought last week, President Donald Trump said in a post to his social media platform that they would target “Democrat Agencies,” calling them “a political SCAM.” According to a court filing from the Trump administration late Friday, at least 4,100 federal workers across eight federal agencies may have been sent RIF notices, with the bulk of the staff reductions at HHS, with 1,100 to 1,200 workers impacted, and the Department of Treasury, with 1,446 workers impacted. Deploying artificial intelligence requires taking on the right amount of risk to achieve a desired end result, a National Institute of Standards and Technology official who worked on its risk management framework for the technology said on a panel last week. While federal agencies, and particularly IT functions, are generally risk averse, risks can't entirely be avoided with AI, Martin Stanley, an AI and cybersecurity researcher at the Commerce Department standards agency, said during a FedInsider panel on “Intelligent Government” last week. Stanley said: “You have to manage risks, number one,” adding that the benefits from the technology are compelling enough that “you have to go looking to achieve those.” Stanley's comments came in response to a question about how the federal government compares to other sectors that have been doing risk management for longer, such as financial services. On that point specifically, he said the NIST AI Risk Management Framework “shares a lot of DNA” with Federal Reserve guidance on algorithmic models in financial services. He said NIST attempted to leverage those approaches and the same plain, simple language. “We talk about risks, we talk about likelihoods, and we talk about impacts, both positive and negative, so that you can build this trade space where you are taking on the right amount of risk to achieve a benefit,” Stanley said.

 As Chuck Schumer plays government shutdown chicken with the Trump administration, budget director Russ Vought stops funding to a handful of democrat pet projects in New York City and Chicago. As democrats cry racism, Vought wants to know if the multi-billion dollar transportation projects have involved race-based contracting. The National Guard rolls in to Memphis and locals celebrate. Trump gives unaccompanied illegal alien children a fat incentive to self-deport.

Hotline editor Kirk A. Bado and NJ Daily managing editor Ledyard King jump on the podcast to discuss where things stand on Day 6 of the government shutdown. They detail the positions of Democrats and Republicans, which party voters find more responsible, and what role the White House could play to resolve the standoff.

The Washington Roundtable discusses how this week's government shutdown can be best understood by looking at the background and influence of Russell Vought, the director of the White House Office of Management and Budget. Vought is a Christian nationalist who served in the first Trump Administration. He was a chief architect of the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025, and has written that the country is in a “post constitutional moment.” Amid the shutdown, Vought has threatened to lay off federal workers en masse and to withhold funds from Democratic-leaning states. The panel considers whether these moves are not just an expansion of Presidential power but a fiscal “partitioning” of America. This week's reading:“Donald Trump's Shutdown Power Play,” by Susan B.

Trump's right hand shutdown man is Office of Management of Budge Director and Project 2025 orchestrator Russ Vought. He is reportedly delighted by the opportunity to slash and burn more government jobs. It was also Vought's grand plan to use the start of the shutdown to retaliate against Democrats by putting a hold on federal funding for major infrastructure projects in states like New York and Chicago. We will talk about that and more with political journalist Michael Shure. He stops by for 'This Week in Politics.' The Culture Blaster Michael Snyder has watched all the movies and seen all the shows and now he's ready to make his feelings known.

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women's Forum fills in for Jim on the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch. Join Inez and Greg as they explain why the government shutdown gives President Trump the opportunity for DOGE 2.0, how the assassination of Charlie Kirk gives college administrators more ability to stifle conservative speech on campus, Hamas asking for absurd changes to the Gaza plan, and Islamist terrorism in England.First, they welcome President Trump's plans to cut parts of government through powers he holds during this government shutdown. Inez explains what Trump and OMB Director Russell Vought can do in this situation and how it is long overdue.They also focus briefly on the Dems' demand for extending Obamacare subsidies. Inez details how the high cost of health care is just one of countless ways the right has been proven right about the disaster of Obamacare.Next, they revisit Inez's concerns from last month that the Charlie Kirk assassination would give colleges and universities a more plausible reason to reject conservative speakers on campus. The security needs are just too expensive. New York University Law School is proving her right. NYU Law refused to allow the campus chapter of the Federalist Society to host Ilya Shapiro on October 7. NYU officials say the likelihood of intense protests is just too great. Inez reveals why this is just the tip of the iceberg.Finally, they shake their heads as Hamas reportedly like the Trump plan for Gaza, except for the part about Hamas leaving Gaza and being demilitarized. Inez says it will likely be up to the Arab supporters of the deal to force Hamas to comply. Inez and Greg also react to the Islamist terrorist attack in England, where two people were stabbed to death outside a synagogue on Yom Kippur. Inez reveals just how bleak the outlook is for the UK unless major policy changes happen very soon.Please visit our great sponsors:Get 20% off your first purchase of classic menswear.

Kim Strassel, Potomac Watch columnist for the Wall Street Journal, Fox News Contributor, and author of The Biden Malaise: How America Bounces Back from Joe Biden's Dismal Repeat of the Jimmy Carter Years, joined The Guy Benson Show today to break down Chuck Schumer's government shutdown and why it is directly hurting broad swaths of government workers while giving Vought and the Trump admin an opening for mass firings. Strassel explained why the "collective insanity" of the left has led Democrats to abandon their stance on clean CRs, and how the move is really about coddling the far left so Schumer has a message to run on when facing possible primary challenges. Strassel and Benson also broke down why the assassination of Charlie Kirk is now being used by universities as an excuse to shut down right-wing speech under the guise of "security concerns."

It's a brutal time to be a federal worker. On the heels of mass federal layoffs, another round looms. Project 2025 orchestrator and now leader of the White House budget office, Russel Vought, is telling federal agencies to ready reduction-in-force plans for mass firings in the event of a government shutdown. These would not be furloughs but permanent firings. He is specifically targeting employees attached to programs that are not legally required to continue and don't align with Trump's priorities. We are very excited to welcome our newest, regular guest, author, Sarah Kendzior, to discuss this and more. Former Federal Prosecutor David Katz offers legal analysis on possible action against the U.S. from the maker of Tylenol and AG Pam Bondi being told to investigate Trump's adversaries right now or else.
