I think the only cheering we ever did for ole Mitch here was him getting approval for Trump picks during his first term so Thune has reached that level at least.

The political environment has changed recently but why didn't he do this 6 months ago?

Thank goodness. The Dems are trying to tie up everything for the foreseeable future and this is a start on pushback.

That’s the key. All they have is delaying tactic while hoping for a victory in 2026 and/or 2028. The tide has turned so that looks increasingly unlikely. But don’t take your eye off the ball.
