Tulsi Gabbard has been confirmed as the Director of National Intelligence. In a party-line 52-48 vote, with Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) crossing the aisle to vote with the Democrats, one of President Trump's more problematic nominees accomplished what was thought impossible only three weeks ago.

Hindu religion is most peaceful and tolerant of the major religions. Hindu’s do not proselytize, convert by force or send out missionaries. In spite of that Hindu religion has survived well for 5000 years. Buddha was born in a Hindu royal family.

Historically, 95%+ of cabinet nominees who do not withdraw are confirmed.

McConnell taking a lot of flak here, rightfully so.

There were 47 Democrats who voted against. They should be taking flak, too.

It may be difficult to attack them as a a group. Why not pick on a small subset, say 1-3, and just hammer them specifically. Reporters following them. Op-eds criticizing them specifically, asking for an explanation.

Don’t let McConnell crowd out the bad behavior by 47 Democrats.

yes!

now RFK and Kash Patel!

also: prayers need to be revved up for RNC leadership and 2026 midterms! My prayer is for someone like Scot Presler to take the lead, after how instrumental he, his mobilization of the Amish et al. were in delivering Pennsylvania!
