Reminder of why Rush Limbaugh dubbed him Turban Durbin:
 Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., said Friday that he regretted any misunderstandings caused by his comments earlier this week comparing American interrogators at Guantanamo Bay to Nazis. (AP, 6/17/05)

Dick Durbin is droning on.

I’m watching the vote now. Nice to see Murkowski and Faucahontis discussing the fabric of their shackets.
You're everywhere I go, I am not alone
You call me as Your own to know You and be known.
You are holy!
And I fall down on my knees.
I can feel Your presence here with me.
Suddenly I'm lost within Your beauty,
Caught up in the wonder of Your touch.
Here in this moment I surrender to Your love.

We’re now moving to advance Scott Besset to lead @USTreasury

Again, we can only move nominees one at a time, but we’re riding out the clock on Senate Democrats to get it done.

Sen. Susan Collins
@SenatorCollins
Our nation is currently facing serious threats on multiple fronts, including at our northern and southern borders. Mexican drug cartels, especially, are using the chaos at the southern border to facilitate their drug and human trafficking operations and to flood our nation with fentanyl and other illegal drugs.

As Governor of South Dakota, Kristi Noem understands that what happens at the southern border has repercussions for communities all over the United States, including here in Maine. I support her nomination because we need to secure our borders and stem the flow of fentanyl that is destroying lives across our country.

John Fetterman's No on Hegseth was a blessing. It gave up the game early.

Democrats go on TV, say something normal, and people get excited for "unity" and "bipartisanship."

Jon Tester in Montana got away with this for far too long.

No such thing as a moderate Democrat.

Here's what is going on behind the scenes with regard to the Kennedy confirmation:

Nicole Shanahan
@NicoleShanahan
Why is a “conservative” PR firm spending hundreds of thousands of $ to try to sink RFK’s nomination? Could it be because they’re also pocketing millions from Big Pharma and super PACs that supported Nikki Haley’s campaign against Trump? This is the precise corruption the American public voted against in November!

"A nation can survive its fools and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and he carries his banners openly against the city. But the traitor moves among those within the gates freely, his sly whispers rustling through all alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears no traitor; he speaks in the accents familiar to his victim, and he wears their face and their garments and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation; he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city; he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared. The traitor is the plague."

I think he's going to have a hard time getting confirmed because he is controversial but I find him interesting and  IMHO he's certainly more truthful than many politicians and find that rather refreshing.  He's supposedly a shame to his family; which is unfortunate.

Predator?  Perhaps Caroline is confusing Cousin Bobbie with Uncle Teddy. Now, there was a predator. Chappaquiddick comes to mind. Yet, Uncle Teddy was beloved by the same Senate Democrats trashing Cousin Bobbie. They slobbered all over Uncle Teddy.

They hate RFK Jr. because he campaigned for Trump.  Pure and simple. Pretty nasty, Caroline, especially considering there are lots of unopened closets, starting with Granddaddy Joe Sr., the Third Reich sympathizer and antisemite.

Senator Whitehouse tells RFK Jr: ‘You frighten people’

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., told President Donald Trump's Health and Human Services nominee, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., that Kennedy scares people.

“Frankly, you frighten people,” Whitehouse said during Kennedy’s confirmation hearing before the Senate Finance Committee on Wednesday.

Whitehouse’s comments came after he said that there was a measles outbreak in Rhode Island for the first time since 2013, amid a broader discussion about Kennedy’s stance on vaccines.

Kennedy pushed back on "news reports" that he is anti-vaccine and anti-industry in his opening statements Wednesday, noting that all his children are vaccinated. He also has previously said that he isn't interested in taking "away anybody's vaccines."
