Analysis of Trump's 2 a.m. Rage Tweeting and Its Implications
The article discusses concerns over Russell Vought, the head of the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB), who has been accused of undermining Congress by implementing spending cuts rejected by lawmakers.

Vought has been withholding approved funds under the guise of 'impoundment' powers, violating the Impoundment Control Act and the Anti-Deficiency Act.
