Republicans on a Senate committee on Thursday suspended panel rules to force a vote on President Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) nominee over a Democratic protest.
Republicans on the Environment and Public Works Committee, led by Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), changed the rules governing a quorum so that only the panel’s Republicans needed to be in attendance to approve Scott Pruitt’s nomination to lead the EPA.

Trump was right. I’m getting tired of all the winning. My jaw hurts from smiling.
The Dems have taken themselves out of the game and pissed off the American people. They are now irrelevant.
When will the vote on DeVos and Sessions be?
Trump
Yeppers!
This is the Trump effect.
“Wow....were did they get their set of balls? I had thought they had been cut off and tossed away decades ago.”
I’ve never been a fan of McConnell but this time I think the dems have pushed him too far.
It didn’t work for them before so they tried it again?
I really love it when democrats find out they’re not as important as they thought they were.

Same for the ‘Rats. Upwards of 70 ‘Rat leaders boycotted the inauguration. ‘Rat followers do so in those footsteps, stomping around, boycotting committee meetings, down to the lowest levels, looting and burning.
Apparently, T hormone can be shared by some type of osmotic fusion.
That’s a dem specialty. Repeat the same behavior over and over again, expecting a different outcome.
Actually, they were irrelevant under Obama.
Keep up the boycotts, Democrats! Your strategy is really paying off!
This strategy is designed to appease their base. Americans that don’t follow politics (Which are many) everyday could care less.
They got a leader in the WH with a set.
All leftists can do now is riot in the streets and call for anarchy..they have NOTHING left..the left was this close to getting their Commie dictatorship and they failed so now they are acting out..meanwhile the GOP is FINALLY growing a pair and doing what we put them in office to do..their JOB
I agree Sarah. Wonderfully stated. I honestly think they have badly husrt what was left of their credibility after running a criminal for president and then obstructing government. I am praying they shut down the government on the budget while we drain the swamp. OH PLEASE LORD!!!
