Some of the nominees appear qualified and suitable for their intended roles, irrespective of whether I agree with them on every issue. Unfortunately, some of the other nominees President-elect Trump has announced, including Kash Patel, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., and Pete Hegseth, hold highly problematic and extreme positions that are inconsistent with the law enforcement, national security, health care and other needs and priorities of the American people. I look forward to the opportunity to learn more about the President's nominees, evaluate their records, and consider their nominations when they come up for a vote on the Senate Floor. Please know that I will consider each of the President's nominees individually on their merits and commitment to serving the public interest.

If you're on the right, shitting on Dems is how you demonstrate the shared hatreds that make you part of the tribe. If you're on the center-left, shitting on Dems is how you demonstrate the above-it-all independence that earns the admiration of peers.If you're on the left, shitting on Dems is how you demonstrate the moral & ideological purity that are the price of membership.If you're in the media, shitting on Dems is how you fight off accusations of bias & establish your "objectivity." There is no faction in US politics -- barely even elected Dems! -- for whom praising Dems is socially advantageous. There's no approbation waiting, no repetitional boost, for anyone. It is, from almost every vantage point, uncool. (Just try it on Twitter to see for yourself.) Thus we get today's information environment...
