Senate Confirms Haaland 51-As First Native American Interior Secretary | Talking Points Memo

You, too. Remember, the more relaxed your arm is while getting the shot, the less you feel like you got smacked in the arm with a shovel, later (Mr. Hatmama got the 1st Moderna, he felt it. I got the 1st Pfizer, I was loosey goosey and could sleep on that arm the next day)…

I’m glad you are able to make wonderful plans again. Nothing like getting your life back…

I welcome Manchin’s support, but I find it absolutely disgusting evidence that his opposition to Neera was political grand standing.

I welcome the man’s vote, but I will never respect him.

In normal times she would have been confirmed 98-2.

This is so much bullshit, whatever happened to the President gets the cabinet he asks for?

It is, after all, his cabinet, his managers, his executive branch, not the loser republicans.

There is no issue with her qualifications or suitability for the job, just that, well, she is a woman, and a Native American, but beyond that, YOU LOST ASSHOLES. Deal with it.

Sorry, the euphoria of Joe passing 1.9 Trillion is worn off by the unrelenting assholery of the gop.

Perhaps the Senate Republicans are only now beginning to figure out that they no longer have the power to cripple a Democratic administration. The extremists will keep it up, but at least some of the others will figure out that without at least the appearance of cooperation, they’re going to get exactly squat.

Pretty sure you mean #PinkHorde, unless the native Americans are trying to collect the whole set.

I was told that these were valuable collectibles, sure to rise in value. I believe there’s a matching set of commemorative plates.

So who were the Democrats that didn’t vote for her since 51-40 means only 47 Democrats?
