8 Dem senators voted today for Mump cabinet nominee - Speak up! [View all]

WTF!

Background

The Senate takes (took) 3 votes this afternoon:
1) Go into executive session to consider Russell Vought to be OMB Director
2) Cloture vote for Pam Bondi for Attorney General
3) Confirmation of Christopher Wright for Energy Sec

#1 and #2 are essentially "votes about whether to have a vote" rather than final confirmation. But that doesn't matter: no Dem Senators ought to be voting for anything that helps this Administration while Elon is ransacking the Treasury. Just say no.

They voted for #3

8 Dems voted today to confirm yet another Trump nominee during Musk's coup: Bennett (CO), Gallego (AZ), Hassan (NH), Heinrich (NM), Hickenlooper (CO), King (ME), Lujan (NM), Shaheen (NH). If you're a constituent, don't just call - write an op-ed, protest their office, make clear you care.
