Here’s a quick rundown of what happened in the Senate last week.
The Laken Riley Act was passed to detain criminal aliens (64-35).
Marco Rubio was confirmed as Secretary of State (99-0).
John Ratcliffe was confirmed as CIA Director (74-25).
Pete Hegseth was confirmed as Secretary of Defense (51-50).
Kristi Noem was confirmed as Secretary of Homeland Security (59-34).
These are all big victories for our America First agenda.
Rubio, Ratcliffe, Hegseth, and Noem will get to work immediately to protect our nation and advance our interests around the globe, and the Laken Riley Act will ensure that criminal aliens are detained so they can’t harm innocent Americans.
Thank you for doing so much to make these actions possible.
There was one notable defeat this week when the Democrats blocked S.6, the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which mandates medical care for infants surviving abortions. The Democrats chose to filibuster the measure even though they said they opposed the use of the filibuster during the campaign last year. Surprise, surprise.
This Week
The Senate will vote on more cabinet nominations, including Scott Bessent for Secretary of Treasury and Sean Duffy for Secretary of Transporation.
The Senate will hold confirmation hearings with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. for Secretary of Health and Human Services, Kash Patel for FBI Director, and Tulsi Gabbard for Director of National Intelligence.
The Senate will vote on whether to consider a bill to sanction the International Criminal Court (ICC) for its baseless arrest warrants targeting Israeli leaders defending their nation from Hamas terrorists.
Thank you for your continued support. We will keep fighting!
