The Senate is preparing for fireworks next week as three of President Donald Trump’s most debated cabinet nominees will face confirmation hearings on Wednesday and Thursday.
Tulsi Gabbard, the nominee for Director of National Intelligence; Kash Patel, the nominee for FBI Director; and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Trump’s choice to lead Health and Human Services, will all face Senate confirmation hearings. Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) said on Friday morning that he’s expecting “the Left and the media to come out hard” against each of them.
“Quick update: three heavy-hitters:@Kash_Patel, @TulsiGabbard, and @RobertKennedyJr have their confirmation hearings set for Wed 1/29 & Thurs 1/30. Expect the Left and the media to come out hard, especially when focus shifts off @PeteHegseth. We’re ready for the fight,” Mullin wrote on X.
Kennedy will be grilled by the Senate Finance Committee beginning at 10:00 a.m. ET on Wednesday, while Patel and Gabbard will face hearings on Thursday. Patel will sit before the Judiciary Committee at 9:30 a.m., and Gabbard’s hearing before the Intelligence Committee will begin a half hour later. Kennedy is scheduled for another hearing at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday before the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee. The Daily Wire will cover the hearings with a live blog, providing updates on the biggest moments.
Trump’s nominations of Kennedy, Patel, and Gabbard have already faced pushback from Democrats and the legacy media. The hearings will likely stoke as much — if not more — controversy than those of Trump’s Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth, who faces his confirmation vote on Friday night.

First they have to confirm Bondi, she already had her confirmation hearings heck I think some Dems might vote for her just like they did for Noem today(Which was a total shock I didnt see it coming) I can see Fetterman voting for RFK Jr, Tulsi and Kash
The demented DemocRATS are probably gathered around the campfire tonight, smokin’ their happy smoke and trying to think up accusations they can make.
Pam Bondi is a rockstar esp. in her hearings! It’s annoying that she isn’t confirmed yet. (I don’t understand the reasons behind the order or delay, personally. Maybe someone can fill me in.)
But Bondi is not as controversial as RFK, Kash Patel, Tulsi. Not sure how establishment Republicans will vote on them…
Not really. Hegseth won nomination, and exposed Trump's 3 Senate enemies. I hope they're not surprised when they SUFFER consequences. Maybe they think they won't, but as Reagan once said, "You ain't seen nothing yet!"
They hate all the remaining nominees, but will gain no traction against Patel or Gabbard, in my opinion. They don't like them, but the President has seen fit to nominate, and that has to go a long way rather than just letting your political distaste decide.
JFK Jr. brings some baggage. If any of these three get in danger, it will be him.
Still, find a demonstrative reason rather than hate.
She should get the committee vote on 29 January. She will pass, 12-10. Floor vote the next week.
President Trump should order the acting director of the FBI to shut down the fake Patriot Front Group.
As to Dems having to degrade RFK,Jr. in a hearing——
I think the Kennedy family, back with Joe, Sr., predated the “nobody f—s with a Biden” attitude.
The senate is full of trailer trash buffoon millionares.
The senate is a disgusting joke. Less class than the House if that is possible.
Reporting on the obvious.
Slow news week?
Bondi has been stellar, and unwavering.
She has been so strong, that the two creeps Schiff and Blumenthal, have turned to being very nasty to her, showing their true colors.
It won’t matter, she’ll be confirmed, and carry some votes from the other side.
I look forward to seeing her in the role.
Even though you misspelled millionaires, that statement is a GOLDEN KEEPER!
I laughed my 4th point of contact off!
Let’s get on with the process.
“JFK Jr”
RFK, Jr.
Sean Davis with the Federalist listed several things that can be done to cripple McConnell and others. Cutting of funding of certain things, not employing any staff for anything, things like this. I hope this gets implemented because I’m sick of being shivved by the enemy in my own party
For Tulsi, the Leftnicks will have AI generated videos of her walking the streets with other hookers. For Kash, they will have AI videos of him at Epstein’s Island. You should see what AI has on me.
**But Bondi is not as controversial as RFK, Kash Patel, Tulsi.((
Blonds have more fun. Ask Tiger.
**Hegseth won nomination, and exposed Trump’s 3 Senate enemies.**
Wouldn’t you agree that was his idea all along?
That’s one of those words of which correct spelling will forever elude me
