Catch that BS last night? Watching him force his nominees to refuse to acknowledge Biden's 2020 win is a warning. Anyone willing to humiliate themselves when asked who won shouldn't be in charge of anything! #ConfirmationHearings #PoliticalAccountability #VoteBlueEveryElection

It’s not just Democrats concerns Patel. Way back Trump’s Attorney General Bill Barr rejected Patel as deputy director of the FBI, telling t Chief of Staff Mark Meadows that Patel would be appointed over “my dead body.” Strong words coming from man who complacently did Donald Trump’s bidding in most other regards. Then there’s Atlantic article ..as “many of the nearly forty” of Patel’s former Trump Admin spoke only do so if anonymous retaliation. JV -

“Senator Chuck Grassley told Patel, “Public trust in the FBI is low. Only 41% of the American public thinks the FBI is doing a good job … Mr. Patel, it’ll be your job to restore the public’s trust and return the FBI to its core mission of fighting crime.”
That’s going to be a heavy lift since Patel struggled with the truth today, having no recollection of unflattering details about his past and continuing to puff his resume…”

There’s someone at RFK Jr’s confirmation hearing wearing a respirator and holding a sign that says “vaccines save lives”
This is the way. Calm, cool & collected but sending a strong message that COVID isn’t over, no one is expendable and anti-science is dangerous.
Thank you Lone Masker!

“…Further, CNN national security correspondent Natasha Bertrand reported that almost an hour after Trump became president, “current and former Pentagon officials say they don’t know who is currently in charge of the Defense Department,” a key position to maintain U.S. security against adversaries who might take advantage of transition moments to push against American defenses…”

Show it to your maga friends, republicans want their people to be poor ;
“ Scott Bessent, President-elect Trump’s Treasury secretary nominee, said Thursday that he would not support raising the minimum wage.”
“ So you don’t think we should change the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour?” Sanders asked.
“No, sir,” Bessent responded.
The national minimum wage has been stuck at $7.25 since 2009” https://thehill.com/business/5090420-trump-treasury-secretary-nominee-wont-support-raising-minimum-wage/

Republican Congressman Banks during the #Hegseth #ConfirmationHearings attacked #DEI (actually, he was attacking "political correctness", not DEI) in the "Miltary" [sic].

What I just can't wrap my head around is how these people perceive current reality.
If he didn't lose in 2020, someone should ask her how he can have been legally elected for a THIRD time in 2024. She said he couldn't legally run in 2028 without a Constitution change, but that has to be based on a theory 2024 is his second win. Where is the logical consistency here?
This matters because she plainly thinks Biden rules by fiat. Does she think such fiat lawful? Should we fear that even of Trump can't be elected, he can use similar fiat to force his way in?
I don't get how she reconciles this.

#AlexWagner discussed the first day of #ConfirmationHearings of #PeteHegseth to be our Secretary of Defense and (as always when the nominee is a #Republican), many #Republicans pitched embarrassingly un-serious fawning softballs of such an unqualified & compromised candidate to lead the largest military on the face of the planet. 🤦♂️

#Trump is telling the Senate to go into recess so that there can be no #ConfirmationHearings on his choices for #AttorneyGeneral, #SecretaryOfDefense, etc... So that Trump can just install whoever he wants into these important government positions.
Will the #GOP controlled #Senate agree to this?
Theoretically, they can tell Trump, "No. We will not go into recess. We will hold confirmation hearings."
But will they?

There’s still one #recourse for #SupremeCourt #justices who #lied at their #confirmations
In #essence, all these #justices committed #perjury at their #Senate #confirmationhearings, which is a #crime under Title 18 of U.S. Code, and an #impeachable #offense.
