Well, there should be a large pile of criminal referrals on her desk come tomorrow... Particularly USAID...

Menendez was already taken down by bribery.

How many congressmen will go down for what has been exposed.  Likely to include Republicans, too.

Here is an opportunity for Menendez to get a reduced sentence. Start naming names and specifying dates. Of course Schumer and Pelosi will be needing a change of underwear.

Scott Turner was confirmed on Wednesday to be the next secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

He was confirmed by a bipartisan vote of 55-44.

The former NFL player was nominated by President Donald Trump to lead HUD in his second term. His nomination cleared a key procedural hurdle on Tuesday night, by a margin of 55-45. Two Democrats joined Republicans on the vote, making it bipartisan.

Pretty sure Nans already got it covered with Depends, maybe Schmucky too. I can’t wait for the Clinton foundation to be exposed.

Russell Vought confirmed to head government's leading budget office after Dems hold 30-hour protest
Democrats protested during the 30-hour debate period on Vought's confirmation
By Diana Stancy , Aubrie Spady Fox News
Published February 6, 2025 7:35pm EST | Updated February 6, 2025 7:36pm EST

Despite Democratic tactics to delay the confirmation vote, the Senate confirmed Russell Vought to lead the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).

Republicans backed Vought’s nomination, arguing he proved a qualified candidate for the role since he previously held the position during President Donald Trump’s first term. Democrats, however, raised multiple concerns about his nomination and said his views on the Impoundment Control Act, which reinforces that Congress holds the power of the purse, disqualified him from the role.

Democrats held a 30-hour-long protest against Vought's nomination, delivering speeches in the middle of the night on Wednesday in an attempt to delay the confirmation vote.

The Senate, in a chaotic final floor vote on Thursday evening, voted to confirm Vought to lead the OMB, 53 to 47.

...hmmm.... that's one that I didn't see coming.  I thought for sure  he would vote for both of them.

I think some of these delays are because the Dems hope Mitch goes belly up.

Instead of face down?

Is there a difference?

He’s tried that, I believe.

Yep, I don't want to see the turtle face anymore

Fessterman is the new Manchin, he’ll play all nice and moderate when his vote doesn’t really matter, but he’s still the same socialist democrats no matter how much he play acts.

Yep, he supports Chuckie as leader and votes almost 100% against GOP priorities.

Just like old Joe(whose name never lights up any MSM articles as he is no longer useful to them)

It seems the confirmation foot dragging by the Dems may be backfiring on them. It has given the President ample time to herd stray Repubs.
