Trump’s Budget Hawk Takes Over the DOGE Agenda. First Up: The Military
Russ Vought is picking up where Elon Musk is leaving off. He has already waded into a fight over military spending.1/2
By Ken Thomas , Scott Patterson and Lindsay Wise May 11, 2025 12:00
President Trump’s top budget official, is looking to lock in many of Elon Musk’s cost-cutting efforts once the billionaire CEO steps aside from government.
A key part of his plan: steamrolling Congress. Vought, the director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, has already drawn the ire of Republican national security hawks byinsisting that military spending receive increases only through a procedure known as budget reconciliation, as opposed to the annual budget. Aside from the reconciliation spending, the White House budget blueprint proposed maintaining military spending at current budget levels of $892.6 billion.
The move came even as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and senior Republicans pushed for more funding, lawmakers and congressional aides said. Republican members of Congress and staff believed they had received assurances from Hegseth—some personally, aides said—that the number would be larger, and were shocked when the budget came out. They worry that getting a one-time boost through reconciliation would be temporary and not provide for long-term security needs.
Sen. Kevin Cramer (R., N.D.), a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said some Republican colleagues on both the House and Senate Armed Services Committeeslay the blame on Vought. “Russ has a lot of sway as the OMB director,” Cramer said. “He’s got a very sharp pencil.”
In retrospect, one senior Republican staffer said,it shouldn’t have been surprising that a budget expert such as Vought “won a knife fight” over the budget.
A Pentagon spokesperson described the White House budget proposal as an increase in spending for the military but didn’t answer questions about whether Hegseth believed Vought’s proposed defense budget was adequate, or whether he had pushed for more funding.
The defense budget fight shows how Vought’s presence will be felt more around Washington as Musk retreats to his businesses, including electric carmaker Tesla, whose fortunes have taken a hit in recent months.Vought has served as Musk’s lower-profile partner on DOGE, which has sought to slash government spending and cut the federal workforceduring the start of Trump’s second administration.
During Trump’s cabinet meeting last month, members of the president’s team applauded Musk for his work on DOGE in what appeared to be a farewell of sorts. The president told the Tesla CEO he was “invited to stay as long as you want—at some point he wants to get back home to his cars.”
With the administration’s budget process kicking into high gear, Vought will oversee a series of initiatives,from cutting agency regulations and working with Congress to claw back funds to reclassifying federal workersand advancing a 2025 budget proposal that seeks to slash spending. Hanging over the tensions is Vought’s public push for Trump’s “authority to impound funds,” a move that involves the president refusing to spend money appropriated by Congress and could set off a fight between lawmakers and the White House on who controls the nation’s purse strings.
A senior OMB official said during a recent call with reporters that impoundment hasn’t been taken “off the table.”
Vought is a longtime budget guru who served at OMB during Trump’s first term. He has saidhe wants to halt efforts by Democrats to demand parity in which increased military spending is matched by a similar boost in domestic spending.
That is partly why Vought has favored using reconciliation to funnel more money to the Pentagon. An OMB spokeswoman said that amajor point of the budget proposal was to overcome Democratic demands for parity between defense and nondefense spendingand to provide the Pentagon with a $1 trillion budget.
https://archive.is/DU5Bs
Imo the only reason for Trump to increase the Pentagon budget is he knows something we don’t know!
2/2
Sen. Roger Wicker (R., Miss.), the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, has argued that supplemental funding for national security doesn’t make up for the need for growth in the military’s base budget. “That’s OMB doing silly math,” said Rep. Mike Rogers (R., Ala.), the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee.
Rogers said he and Wicker “have made it very clear that the number they sent over for the base bill is not going to happen.”
The initial budget proposal released last week by theWhite House seeks to cut $163 billion in nondefense discretionary spending. The “skinny budget” plan proposed maintaining military spending at current budget levels of more than $890 billion, but adding nearly $120 billion that is part of pending legislation through reconciliation.
That legislative maneuver requires a simple majority in both chambers, meaning the GOP could pass the bill without Democratic support. Democrats have assailed the Trump administration’s budget proposal and use of DOGE to downsize the federal government, arguing that it undermines congressional authority, and have attempted in vain to force Musk to appear before Congress.
“Mr. Musk needs to testify before our committee—he needs to testify on what was done,” said Rep. Steny Hoyer (D., Md.), a senior member of the Appropriations Committee.
At the cabinet meeting, Vought, a co-author of the conservative policy blueprint Project 2025, emphasized OMB’s efforts to slash government regulation, referring to Trump’s campaign pledge to cut 10 regulations for every one that is added.In the coming months, DOGE is expected to focus more on regulation cutting, according to a Feb. 19 executive orderthat instructed agency leaders to begin rescinding “unlawful regulations” in coordination with DOGE and OMB.
Vought is also likely to turn his attention to what is commonly known as Schedule F, an executive order that Trump issued in October 2020 to eliminate job protections for thousands of high-level federal workers. The Biden administration blocked the order, but Trump reintroduced it in an executive order that says it will “restore accountability to the career civil service.”
Hoping to make some of DOGE’s changes permanent, theWhite House is expected to push Congress to act on a $9.3 billion rescissions package that would seek to claw back funding from the State Department, USAID, National Public Radio and PBS.
Republican lawmakers note that thetug of war between OMB and Capitol Hill is a common fight—and that ultimately Congress will have its say. “OMB in any administration of either party is never very popular, but their job is to say, ‘No, you can’t have what you want,’ ” said Rep. Tom Cole (R., Okla.), the chairman of the House Appropriations Committee.

House Republicans’ proposal to cut SNAP spending would save roughly $300B
That gives the committee enough wiggle room to include a $60 billion farm bill package in reconciliation, according to CBO estimates.

The House Agriculture Committee’s reconciliation proposal would save up to $300 billion over the next decade largely through cuts to the nation’s largest anti-hunger program, according to long-awaited Congressional Budget Office estimates viewed by POLITICO.
The savings from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program would be well over the committee’s instructed target of $230 billion in spending cuts,giving House Republicans just enough wiggle room to include a $60 billion farm bill package in their megabill.
The committee will meet Tuesday night to mark up its portion of the bill. Here’s how much each proposal would save between 2025 and 2034, according to the CBO:
• Forcing states to pay for part of SNAP benefits based on their payment error rates saves $128 billion.
•Changing work requirements, waivers and other criteria for SNAP recipients who are able-bodied adults without dependents saves $92 billion.
• Limiting future updates to the Thrifty Food Plan, the basis for calculating SNAP, saves $37 billion.
• Forcing states to pay for more of SNAP administrative costs saves $27 billion.
• Restrictions on participants including internet costs in computing shelter expenses saves $11 billion.
•Requiring state agencies to use indications of SNAP overpayments to prevent overpayments of other federal and state benefits saves $7 billion.
•Closing an internet utility loophole for SNAP participants who are not elderly or disabled saves $6 billion.
• Scrapping the National Education and Obesity Prevention Program for SNAP participants saves $5 billion.
• Reducing the tolerance level for SNAP error payments from $37 to $0 saves $80 million.
•Changing the general SNAP work requirement age from over 15 and under 60 to over 17 and under 65 does not affect direct spending.
CBO is still estimating how much the committee will save by limiting SNAP benefits to U.S. citizens and permanent lawful residents and how much it will spend by extending mandatory funding for federal projects aimed at reducing food waste.
One more note: The CBO scores don’t include interactions between proposals — like a participant who would be impacted by multiple pieces of the savings — leading the committee to estimate a total savings of around $290 billion to $300 billion rather than the combined sum of the savings listed above.

Trump administration cuts an additional $450 million in grants to Harvard
Laya Neelakandan
April 15, 2025.
• Elite US university Harvard was hit with a $2.2 billion federal funding freeze on April 14 after rejecting a list of sweeping demands that the White House said was intended to crack down on campus anti-Semitism.
• The call for changes to its governance, hiring practices and admissions procedures expands a list Harvard received on April 3, which ordered officials
• The Trump administration announced Tuesday that it is cutting an additional $450 million in grants to Harvard University through eight federal agencies, on top of the $2.2 billion already frozen last week.
“Harvard University has repeatedly failed to confront the pervasive race discrimination and anti-Semitic harassment plaguing its campus,” the Joint Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism said in a statement.
The task force went on to call Harvard a “breeding ground for virtue signaling and discrimination.”
It’s the latest funding hit for the elite university, which has been a target of the Trump administration over the last several weeks. The Trump administration and Harvard have been engaged in a high-profile legal battle.
Harvard did not immediately respond to the latest funding cuts. University President Alan Garber previously issued a statement defending its constitutional rights after filing a lawsuit against the administration to halt the funding freeze.

Elon Musk says Starlink was approved in Saudi Arabia
PUBLISHED TUE, MAY 13 202511:09 AM EDTUPDATED 9 MIN AGO
Tesla CEO Elon Musk speaks, as he sits with Saudi Minister of Communications and Information Technology Abdullah Alswaha, at the Saudi-U.S. Investment Forum, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, May 13, 2025.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk speaks, as he sits with Saudi Minister of Communications and Information Technology Abdullah Alswaha, at the Saudi-U.S. Investment Forum, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, May 13, 2025.
Elon Musk said Saudi Arabia has approved Starlink for aviation and maritime use in the region speaking at an event during a White House-led trip to the kingdom on Tuesday.
Starlink is the satellite internet service owned and operated by Musk’s aerospace and defense contractor, SpaceX.
SpaceX recently began offering its Starlink hardware for free outside the U.S. in a bid to win new subscribers.
Musk also briefly discussed his other business ambitions in the region promising to bring Tesla robotaxis to Saudi Arabia at an unspecified date.
“I think it would be very exciting to have autonomous vehicles here in the kingdom, indeed, if you’re amenable,” Musk said.
Musk also said he showed several of Tesla’s Optimus humanoid robots, now in development, to Trump and Saudi Arabia’s crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud. Tesla has been telling investors for years that self-driving cars, and humanoid robots are the key to its future profits.
Tesla’s Optimus is not yet in production and competition abounds in humanoid robotics.
The Tuesday event featured President Donald Trump and U.S. tech executives from companies involved in artificial intelligence, defense and semiconductor manufacturing.
At the same event, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announced the U.S. chipmaker will sell over 18,000 of its latest artificial intelligence chips to Saudi Arabian company Humain.
The Trump and tech executives’ visit to Saudi Arabia comes as the White House works to strike trade deals following the President’s sweeping, and ever-changing, trade and tariff policies.
Trump received a lavish welcome from the oil power, and secured a $600 billion commitment from Saudi Arabia to invest in the U.S. on Tuesday. He also agreed to sell Saudi Arabia an arms package worth nearly $142 billion, the White House said in a statement.

Microsoft is cutting 3% of its workforce
PUBLISHED TUE, MAY 13 202510:20 AM
Jordan Novet
KEY POINTS
• • Microsoft, which is cutting 3% of its headcount, had 228,000 employees as of last June.
• • The maker of Windows and Word is aiming to reduce management layers.
Microsoft on Tuesday said that it’s laying off 3% of employees across all levels, teams and geographies.
“We continue to implement organizational changes necessary to best position the company for success in a dynamic marketplace,” a Microsoft spokesperson said in a statement to CNBC.
The company reported better-than-expected results, with $25.8 billion in quarterly net income, and an upbeat forecast in late April.
Microsoft had 228,000 employees worldwide at the end of June, meaning that the move will affect thousands of employees.
It’s likely Microsoft’s largest round of layoffs since the elimination of 10,000 roles in 2023. In January the company announced a small round of layoffs that were performance-based. These new job cuts are not related to performance, the spokesperson said.
One objective is to reduce layers of management, the spokesperson said. In January Amazon
announced that it was getting rid of some employees after noticing “unnecessary layers” in its organization.
==Last week cybersecurity software provider CrowdStrike
announced it would lay off 5%of its workforce.== (why do they even exist?)
In January, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella told analysts that the company wouldmake sales execution changesafter the company delivered slower growth than expected in Azure cloud revenue that wasn’t tied to artificial intelligence.Performance in AI cloud growth outdid internal projections.
“How do you really tweak the incentives, go-to-market?” Nadella said. “At a time of platform shifts, you kind of want to make sure you lean into even the new design wins, andyou just don’t keep doing the stuff that you did in the previous generation.”
On Monday, Microsoft shares ended trading at $449.26, the highest price so far this year. They closed at a record $467.56 last July.

Annual inflation rate hit 2.3% in April, less than expected and lowest since 2021
PUBLISHED TUE, MAY 13 20258:31 AM
KEY POINTS
• The consumer price index rose a seasonally adjusted 0.2% for the month, putting the 12-month inflation rate at 2.3%, its lowest since February 2021.
• The core CPI also increased 0.2% for the month, while the year-over-year level was 2.8%.
• Egg prices tumbled, falling 12.7%, though they were still up 49.3% from a year ago.
While the April CPI figures were relatively tame, the Trump tariffs remain a wild card in the inflation picture, depending on where negotiations go between now and the summer.
Inflation was slightly lower than expected in Aprilas President Donald Trump’s tariffs just began hitting the slowing U.S. economy, according to a Labor Department report Tuesday.
The consumer price index, which measures the costs for a broad range of goods and services, rose a seasonally adjusted 0.2% for the month,putting the 12-month inflation rate at 2.3%, its lowest since February 2021, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said. The monthly reading was in line with the Dow Jones consensus estimate while the 12-month was a bit below the forecast for 2.4%.
Excluding volatile food and energy prices, the core CPI also increased 0.2% for the month, while the year-over-year level was 2.8%. The forecast was for 0.3% and 2.8%, respectively.
The monthly readings were a bit higher than in March though price increases remain well off their highs of three years ago.
Markets reacted little to the news, with stock futures pointing flat to slightly lower and Treasury yields mixed.
″“Good news on inflation, and we need it given inflation shocks from tariffs are on their way,” said Robert Frick, corporate economist at Navy Federal Credit Union.“Non-tariffed goods are still in the pipeline, and perhaps some importers have absorbed their tariff costs for now.”
Shelter prices again were the main culprit in pushing up the inflation gauge. The category, which makes about one-third of the index weighting, increased 0.3% in April, accounting for more than half the overall move, according to the BLS.
After posting a 2.4% slide in March,energy prices rebounded, with a 0.7% gain. Food saw a 0.1% decline.
Used vehicle prices saw their second straight drop, down 0.5%, while new vehicles were flat. Apparel costs also were off 0.2% though medical care services increased 0.5%. Health insurance increased 0.4% while motor vehicle insurance was up 0.6%.
Egg prices tumbled, falling 12.7%, though they were still up 49.3% from a year ago.
With the increase in CPI, real average hourly earnings were flat for the month and up 1.4% from a year ago.
While the April CPI figures were relatively tame, the Trump tariffs remain a wild card in the inflation picture, depending on where negotiations go between now and the summer.
In his much-awaited “liberation day” announcement, Trump slapped 10% duties on all U.S. imports and said he intended to put additional “reciprocal” tariffs on trading partners. Recently, though, Trump has backed off his position, with the most dramatic development a 90-day stay on aggressive tariffs against China while the two sides enter further negotiations.
Economists figure that even with the easing of the 145% reciprocal tariffs against China, inflation numbers could perk up again in the summer months,though the degree to which that will happen is an open question. Trump left in place the across-the-board tariffs.
“Overall, there was no sign of the tariff impact in the April CPI.Although we expect higher tariffs will likely exert upward pressures on core CPI, starting in May, weakening of consumer demand and an inventory drawdown might mitigate the inflationary pressure,” Nomura economist Aichi Amemiya said in a note.
Markets expect the president’s softening position to lead to less of a chance of interest rate cuts this year.Traders had been expecting the Federal Reserve to start easing in June, with at least three total reductions likely this year.
Since the China developments, the market has pushed out the first cut to September, with just two likely this year as the central bank feels less pressure to support the economy and as inflation has held above the Fed’s 2% target now for more than four years.
The Fed relies more on the Commerce Department’s inflation gauge for policymaking, though the CPI figures into that index. The BLS on Thursday will release its April reading on producer prices, which is seen as more of a leading indicator on inflation.

Chuck Schumer says he is placing a hold on Trump DOJ nominees amid questions on Qatar's luxury jet gift
Schumer also called on Attorney General Pam Bondi to testify before Congress and answer a number of questions related to the potential gift. (He’d put hold on Trump even Trump if a gift from God, plus the gift to the Defense Dept.)1/2
Updated May 13, 2025, 11:03 AM EDT
WASHINGTON — Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said Tuesday he is placing a hold on all Trump Justice Department nominees as he seeks answers on the administration's plan to accept a luxury jet from Qatar to be used as Air Force One.
"In light of the deeply troubling news of a possible Qatari-funded Air Force One, and the reports that the Attorney General personally signed off on this clearly unethical deal, I am announcing a hold on all DOJ political nominees, until we get more answers,” Schumer said on the Senate floor.
The minority leader presented a list of questions and demands he says the Trump administration must respond to before he lifts his hold on nominees.
• "President Trump has told the American people this is 'a free jet.'
• Does that mean the Qataris are delivering a ready-on-day-one plane with all the security measures already built in?
• If so, who installed those security measures, and how do we know they were properly installed?" (Do the really think the Defense Department check the entire jet?
• Schumer asked. "If this is, as President Trump promised, a free jet, will the Qataris pay for those highly sensitive installations, or will American taxpayers cover the cost?"
Schumer can’t block these nominees with this tactic, but he can slow down their consideration. It’s not really clear if the judicial nominees would have already been held for other reasons, considering that the vast majority of Trump nominees have already been held in this way.
The Office of Legal Counsel at the DOJ prepared a memo declaring that the acceptance of the plane was legal, a senior DOJ official told NBC News on Monday.The DOJ declined to release the memo, which Attorney General Pam Bondi approved.
Schumer, in his remarks Tuesday, called on Bondi to testify before Congress to explain the conclusion that there is no conflict and answer a number of questions related to the potential gift.
“The attorney general must testify before both the House and Senate to explainwhy gifting Donald Trump a private jet does not violate the emoluments clause — which requires congressional approval — or any other ethics laws,” Schumer said. “Until the attorney general explains her blatantly inept decision and we get complete and comprehensive answers to these and other questions, I will place a hold on all political nominees to the Department of Justice.”
Schumer also accused DOJ of not "doing its job" when it comes to the Foreign Agent Registration Act, saying that the unit that oversees adherence to the law needs to enforce it and disclose information to the public "not just on this luxury plane deal, but all deals involving foreign countries in the Middle East and President Trump, ==his family and the Trump
Organization."== (his family is excempt from requirements of the President)
Reached for comment Tuesday, a White House spokesperson said: “Senator Schumer and his anti-law-and-order party are prioritizing politics over critical DOJ appointments, obstructing President Trump’s Make Safe Again agenda. Cryin’ Chuck must end the antics, stop Senate stonewalling, and prioritize the safety and civil rights of Americans.”
The Justice Department didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
Before leaving for his trip to the Middle East on Monday, Trump defended his decision to accept the airplane gift, which he called “a very nice gesture.” He also said it would eventually be decommissioned and be given to his presidential library.
“Now I could be a stupid person and say, ‘Oh no, we don’t want a free plane,’” he told reporters at the White House. “I would never be one to turn down that kind of an offer.”
Boeing had already been working on a plan to deliver Air Force One replacements, but the process has been delayed and has been over-budget.The company’s CEO told CNBC in January that it was working with Elon Musk to deliver them sooner than expected.…

=2/2==
Meanwhile, some legal experts have questioned how a gift from Qatar that would follow Trump out of office could be permissible under the emoluments clause. Democrats and even some Trump allies have suggested the jet could be perceived as a conflict of interest.
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, a close ally of the president's, told CNBC on Tuesday that "the plane poses significant espionage and surveillance problems."
Some Democrats have alsoquestioned Bondi's involvement in the matter as she has previously lobbied for the government of Qatar.
“She was a paid agent of the Qatari government, a lobbyist before she became attorney general," Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin, D-Ill., said Tuesday. "We have questions that we’ve asked about how she cleared her ethics statement on her relationship with Qatar, and I think that this plane deal is really with that front and center."
Lawmakers and former intelligence officials note the massive spying risks posed by such a gift from a foreign government and the long history of gifts that turned out to be more than they appeared.In 1945, for example, Soviet children gifted the U.S. ambassador in Moscow a wooden carving of America's Great Seal, and a listening device inside the object was discovered seven years later. (Really 1945 was the only time?)
Accusations that Trump has unlawfully benefited from foreign entities are nothing new. They arose during his first term but the legal question was never resolved before he left office. (Not true, it was resolved)
At issue in those cases were claims under the emoluments clauses, which are anticorruption provisions that prevent the president from receiving payments from the states or gifts or payments from foreign officials.
There is no Supreme Court precedent on the subject to guide lower courts on how the clauses can be enforced or even who can sue.
