Confirmation.
Democratic cowards are giving up the only leverage they have over Trump and Musk.

Durbin, Schatz, and King are throwing Americans to the wolves.

Durbin was forever weak in judiciary committee.

The worst thing about Durbin’s vote is that DOGE is trying to sell off the federal building that houses his Chicago office. He won’t even stand up for his own office space.

Maybe not worst in terms of outcomes but worst in terms of cravenly surrendering.

No, saying things is not activism.

Voting no on a Trump/Musk CR — that’s activism. And it takes courage.
Loudly agreeing with Trump and Musk is just cowardice.

Spoiler: Schatz voted for the bill that he conceeded "will hurt every single one of us."

The spoilerception at the bottom murdered irony.

This is right. Schatz may still be in the Senate. May.

But he will not be in leadership.

Damn, I understand that Hawaii more than most states depends on the federal government functioning, but this is a real kick in the nuts from a guy I thought was somewhat on our side.
