Who is behind the most dangerous authoritarian push in modern U.S. politics? In Part Two of this exposé, Bella Goode uncovers how Russell Vought and Stephen Miller—two unelected power brokers—are already executing Project 2025. From dismantling agencies to planning military crackdowns and weaponizing the law, their agenda is no longer theoretical. Tune in to learn what they’ve already done, what’s coming next, and what it will take to stop them.


Key Takeaways To Listen For

  • How Russell Vought is reshaping government through agency purges, Schedule F, and defunding human rights programs
  • Alarming legal tactics Stephen Miller is using to push mass deportations, eliminate birthright citizenship, and undermine civil liberties
  • The dangerous revival of Nixon-era impoundment powers and efforts to sideline Congress and the courts
  • Why activists are warning of a looming constitutional crisis over presidential control of federal spending
  • The rise of grassroots resistance: Hands-off coalitions, 5501 protests, and court battles to stop the Project 2025 agenda

Host: Bella Goode

Bella Goode is a pseudonym — but the voice, research, and mission are all real. A Republican turned democracy advocate in 2016, I was raised by middle class parents in Pennsylvania. I’m a former marketing executive, entrepreneur, and lifelong learner with an MBA from Wharton and a Master’s in Psychology from Penn. I spent decades telling stories in the business world; now I use those skills to connect the dots in American politics.

I’m here because the truth matters — and because the stakes have never been higher. Surviving Trump isn’t lighthearted. It’s clarity, evidence, and a fight for the future of our democracy.
