With Collins, you have to ignore her and let her do stupid things sometimes. She serves her purpose helping pad the majority as a blue state senator.

With Murkowski and McConnell, theres no excuse, though.

I won't be too hard on Fetterman, he knew his vote wasn't needed this time.

When does Hegseth get to start firing people and cutting budgets?

Hegseth, out of all the people Trump has nominated, is the one I hope the most that he proves the haters dead wrong.

The guy that McConnell walked over to shake hands with is the #1 democrat on defense appropriations, Chris Coons.

The top Republican and top Democrat on defense spending shaking hands after both voting against the secretary of defense.

It never ceases to amaze me that the same state that elected Massie to the House and Paul to the Senate also put this old mushy, spineless uniparty fool in the Senate.

McConnell needs to be forever back-benched with no committee assignments then, voted out.

Senate forces rare weekend vote to push through Kristi Noem as Homeland Security chief
The Senate will meet Saturday for confirmation hearings
By Aubrie Spady Fox News
Published January 25, 2025 4:00am EST | Updated January 25, 2025 8:40am EST

The Senate will hold votes over the weekend to accelerate the confirmation of one of President Donald Trump's key Cabinet nominees.

Lawmakers will meet for a rare Saturday session to hold a vote on whether to confirm South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, Trump's pick to lead the Department of Homeland Security, to the top Cabinet position.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., indicated earlier in the week that the Senate would stay over the weekend to push through the confirmation process if Democrats blocked voting efforts.

"Do we want a vote on these folks on Tuesday or vote on them on Friday, Saturday and Sunday? Because that's what we're going to do," Thune said after Democrats blocked a confirmation vote for Trump's CIA director nominee, John Ratcliffe, who has bipartisan support. "This can be easy or this can be hard."
