Yes! Begin and finish the judicial impeachments!
Why are there ANY left? Why not confirm them ALL in 1 tranche?
(I guess this way they can be seen to be accomplishing something every day. And every day is a new chance to rub it in the dems faces.)
When do the firings and program cancellations start?

Trump names former Pan Am Railways president David Fink to be FRA administrator (second update)
By Trains Staff | December 21, 2024 | Last updated on August 6, 2025
President-elect says nominee will “bring 45+ years of transportation experience” to post
WASHINGTON — President-elect Donald Trump said he has selected David Fink to become administrator of the Federal Railroad Administration.
In a post today (Saturday, Dec. 21) on Truth Social, Trump said Fink is a “fifth-generation railroader” who “will bring his 45+ years of transportation leadership and success, which will deliver the FRA into a new era of safety and technological innovation.”
David Armstrong Fink is a former president of Pan Am Railways and son of the late David Andrew Fink, a career railroader who worked for the Pennsylvania Railroad and Penn Central before serving as president of Guilford Transportation, later rebranded as Pan Am Railways.
The Nomination has been held up since last December. Guilford Transportation, nee Pan Am Railways had most of the rail infrasturure in the State of Maine. They were very difficult to work with and made it near impossible to bring Amtrak to Maine. They were able to get it done and the Downeaster bring tourist to Maine and workers to Boston.

Tigers eye posted a snippet from the article, it says the remaining appointments are in the “double digits”.
That could be a number from 10 to 99.
Schumer said the Senate will be sorry they changed the rules. Why is he always so threatening?
GOOD!! Now have a BILL on the floor where the Military and the Air Traffic Controllers get paid!! In that case put in EVERYONE and ALL PROJECTS that are ESSENTIAL to be paid....NO NON AMERICAN or SILLY thingy to get a dime.
Sec-War said, "no more dudes in dresses" - another kill-joy.
OH MY ! ( not one cross dresser among them!)
It’s definitely good to Republican Party critters finally finding their spine.
(I was going to say “good to see them finally growing a pair of balls, but somehow that imagery just didn’t so well… Especially since Democrat women are all growing a pair of balls these days… Or already have a pair of balls)..
So, how did Fetterman vote?...I thought so!
They haven’t found their spines.
Nobody has given them neuticles.
They are retrenching.
The vote also marked the second time that Senate Republicans have deployed the new rule change surrounding confirmations since going “nuclear” on Senate rules last month. …
***********
They can also go nuclear to end the shutdown.
