I have 0 idea on how this works, when will they vote to confirm Pete? Last I heard, they haven’t scheduled a vote. Maybe next week? He is expected to easily be confirmed

Lee and Hawley. I am shocked. Narrator: She was not.

C & H were my guesses before you confirmed as well.

I have 0 idea on how this works, when will they vote to confirm Pete? They could vote him out of committee before or after their hearing on Tuesday. If not then, probably at their meeting on Wednesday. Then he goes to the full Senate for confirmation. The only confirmation I see on the full Senate floor calendar right now is Yellen on Monday afternoon. He'll be confirmed.

HOLY CRAP it IS end times.
Talking with RI Gov in the Commerce hearing, Marsha Blackburn says the emphasis has been on underserved areas, but we need to focus on UNserved areas.
she made a coherent well thought argument.

She's been abducted by aliens and replaced with a pod person. It's the only explanation.

Granholm hearing at 930 (Energy) Thomas Greenfield hearing at 10 (UN) Buttigieg vote at 10 (Transportation) McDonough hearing at 3 (VA)
Eta the Buttigieg vote is out of committee. Then he'll get confirmed in the full Senate probably tomorrow.

Oh my god Rand Paul is being so offensive right now asking about trans athletes in college sports.
Trans women are not men Rand.
And nobody 6'4" is going to be wrestling someone who is 5'4". That's but how wrestling works, dumbass.

Oh mittens, thank you for reminding us who you really are.... Also I'm pretty sure in your binders somewhere there is a female who was assigned male at birth and they just never told you because you are a shit.

The Senate is out until Monday. There's an evening floor vote scheduled for Denis McDonaugh's confirmation as VA Secretary and then everything goes on hold for the impeachment trial.
