#1 I loved JD Vance's tweet about this. "I though I wouldn't have to cast a Senate vote again"

Seriously after watching Hegseth in these hearings... if we were surrounded 100 to 1 and he said "Fix bayonets and charge"... I would follow that man

#3 Trump's historic voter mandate means nothing to the Senate dems (and three worthless pubs). They all voted against Hegseth.

#5 Thune is facilitating some of these early wins. His donors will want him to knife Kash, Tulsi and RFK Jr. Those votes are Bastogne for me. Any Republican that balks at any of those folks need to go. Trump took out all the IGs except two last night.

#7 Those that voted no for him voted "yes" for that stupid DEI Supreme who admitted under oath that she didn't know what a woman is. That's where we're at.

#8 Trump said yesterday that somebody invited Adam Schiff, California's new junior senator, to come along on his trip to Los Angeles. Schiff declined saying he had to participate in senate confirmation votes but his vote failed to keep Hegseth or Noem from being confirmed. Too bad. Schiff could have flown with Trump anyway...awkward as that might have been.

#9 On J.D. Vance breaking the tie to get him confirmed: "It's not the first time the headline reads - 'junior enlisted Marine bails out junior Army officer.'" lol
