Fetterman votes yes to advance Mullin's nomination to the Senate floor.
English
Truly wild opening to this confirmation hearing for Markwayne Mullin where GOP chairman Rand Paul talks about the horrific injuries he suffered when attacked by a neighbor and accused Mullin of fomenting political violence. The two men have a long history of animosity.

This comes after GOP senators said in lunch last week that FBI was pushing for clean FISA reauthorization. x.com/JakeSherman/st…

NEW — @SpeakerJohnson says he will move a CLEAN extension of FISA. JORDAN and CRAWFORD were working on reforms.

Thune also continued to oppose doing a standalone bill to fund TSA at this point, saying "They want to peel off all the things they want to fund and not deal with the things that they don't."
English
Thune said in his view these were "significant gives" but that he accuses Dems of being "intent on dragging out this political issue. And I guess the only thing I can say is I think they think it's a political winner for them."
English
This morning John Thune laid out a few things that were included in the WH's proposal to dems sent over last month: $100 million for body cams (up from $20 million in original apropos compromise), offers to allow audits from IG, "reviews for noncompliance."
English
Tomorrow, @SenMullin will be on the other side of the dais facing off against dem colleagues who say they like him but probably can't vote for him given the politics of the moment on immigration w/ @sarahnferris and @priscialva cnn.com/2026/03/17/pol…
English
Dems offered another proposal on DHS shutdown to WH last night but stalemate continues at the moment as TSA lines intensify across the country.
English
First co-byline with the wonderful @owermohle on the complicated politics for Cassidy who is facing pressure to move Means through when the U.S. Surgenon general nom may not even have the votes in committee. (independent of Cassidy)

A huge decision for Bill Cassidy looms as the future of Casey Means's nomination hangs in the balance. Cassidy is fighting for his political life in LA but his background as a doctor and vaccine advocate looms large too cnn.com/2026/03/15/pol…

Mullin is very close with some of his colleagues across the aisle, but clear signaling from Dem leadership here that this won't be a swift or easy confirmation
Chuck Schumer@SenSchumer
I’ve been asked if I would support Sen. Mullin as Noem’s replacement. The answer is a resounding NO. The rot in DHS is deep, much deeper than any individual. It’s a question of policy not personnel. The Senate should not consider any DHS Secretary nominee until DHS and ICE are reined in.

"The president and I have already talked — obviously the statement went out — but we need to talk to the president and get on the same page and do the things we need to do," Sen. Markwayne Mullin tells reporters including @FoxReports

Fantastic piece on Tillis unmoored by @FoxReports cnn.com/2026/03/04/pol…
English
Before Munich, I sat down with Thom Tillis and talked with him about his retirement, his relationship with Trump and why he really does not want to hear from dems on why he's not doing enough to challenge the administration.
English
"I told the president if I prove anything to him or nothing else over the next 18 months … I hope I prove to you I care more about your legacy than a lot of these people that are giving you bad advice,” cnn.com/2026/03/04/pol…

Republican Sen. Thom Tillis demanded DHS Secretary Noem's resignation Tuesday in a heated exchange. Read @FoxReports on Tillis, who has emerged as one of the few Republicans in the Senate GOP regularly willing to criticize the White House. cnn.com/2026/03/04/pol…

Scalise on Rep. Tony Gonzales. “Look, the accusations are very serious and it’s been reported that the office of congressional conduct is doing an investigation right now and that is a serious process."
“Obviously, I’m watching that closely, want to see where that goes."

.@RepDonBacon "In the future, Congress should defend its authorities and not just rely on Supreme Court. Besides the Constitutional concerns I had on the Administration’s broad-based tariffs, I also do not think tariffs are smart economic policy. "
