@indivisible.org Does anyone know of any activities being planned for the President’s Day federal holiday? Asking for a friend.

Any four Republican Senators could stop this at any time simply by threatening to block all action (or even caucus with the Democrats) if Trump doesn't make certain concessions. They won't, but that should be a much bigger story than whether the Democrats are doing everything that *they* can.

You probably haven’t heard a lot about the OMB, but it has immense power over federal agencies — and Trump is trying to put the architect of Project 2025 in charge.
(above an image of the White House) WHAT IS THE OMB? (OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET) The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is responsible for putting together the president's budget and ensuring the federal government executes the White House's agenda. (next to an image of Congress) WHAT DOES THE OMB DIRECTOR DO? The OMB director has immense power over federal agencies. In addition to serving as the president's watchdog for the entire Executive Branch and managing the implementation of federal regulations and executive orders, the OMB director also coordinates with Congress on the White House's budget priorities. (next to an image of Russell Vought) WHO IS TRUMP'S NOMINEE FOR OMB DIRECTOR? Russell Vought-Trump's OMB director for the last two years of his first term. After Trump's loss in 2020, Vought became the architect of Project 2025 - MAGA extremists' plan to transform the federal government into a tool of white Christian nationalism and political revenge. Vought supports nationwide abortion abolition and massive cuts to life-saving programs like Social Security and Medicare. He's also vowed to push unconstitutional spending schemes to get Trump's agenda (above an image of an arm holding up a megaphone) WHAT CAN I DO? Vought still needs to be confirmed by at least 50 senators before he can become OMB director. The final vote for Vought's nomination is expected this week. Contact your senators and tell them to vote NO on Trump's dangerous pick for OMB director. INDIVISIBLE.ORG/OMB
