I think Democrats โ so yeah, I mean look, they confirmed a Fox News host to be the head of the Pentagon and an anti-vax guy who put a dead bear in the back of his car to be in charge of health and human services.
I think for Democrats, we should use this as an opportunity to highlight โ there are high-profile confirmation hearings.
There will be debate around it, reporting around it.
Use it to highlight all of our arguments against ICE.
And everything Trump is doing and the problems with how they've handled things and everything from what happened in Minnesota to the detention centers to the U.S.
citizens and legal residents who have been detained, some cases for weeks at a time, just across the board.
The mass surveillance used โ the surveillance techniques and the facial recognition used to track protesters and things like that.
Here's a chance to raise the salience of something we should be making a strong argument about.
And then every single person, apparently not named John Fetterman, should vote against this person.
Because here's the one thing I can promise you.
I give two fucks about Senate collegiality because you used to slowly work out next to this person on the treadmill at the Senate gym, which is how we ended up, Marco Rubio ended up getting 99 votes.
There's just no way that you're going to feel good one month from now, two months from now, three months from now for voting for Donald Trump's DHS secretary.
I mean, it is absolutely insane to vote for this man.
And I assume, I've heard, I would be shocked if anyone other than John Fetterman voted for him, honestly.
And I would be, like, I think you could see Collins and Murkowski, perhaps, not vote for him as well.
But, like, even someone like Tillis, who really doesn't like Noam and was calling for her resignation, I bet Tillis votes for him as well.
