Where Trump's Cabinet nominees stand in Senate confirmation process
Thursday, 30 January 2025 () Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Tulsi Gabbard and Kash Patel testify before Senate committees on Capitol Hill Thursday as urgency builds to confirm President Donald Trump’s Cabinet nominations.
According to insiders, Tulsi Gabbard is the Trump nominee most at risk of failing confirmation process. But the former Congresswoman's confirmation as Director of National Intelligence is essential to enabling Kash Patel and CIA Director John Ratcliffe drain the intelligence committee swamp....
In a tense and dramatic Senate hearing, Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) clashed with FBI Director nominee Kash Patel over his alleged ties to individuals involved in the January 6th Capitol riot. Schiff forcefully demanded that Patel turn around and face the Capitol Police officers present in the room, accusing him of profiting off those who assaulted their colleagues.
Patel, refusing to look away from Schiff, responded, "I'm looking at you. You're talking to me." The fiery exchange underscored deep divisions over Patel’s nomination, with Schiff pressing him on his fundraising efforts linked to Jan. 6 defendants

Kash Patel, President Donald Trump’s nominee for FBI Director, greeted his Indian Hindu parents with “Jai Shri Krishna” during his confirmation hearing. A former Department of Defense Chief of Staff and fervent Trump supporter, Patel faces tough questioning from Senate Democrats over his past criticisms of the FBI and his loyalty to the President. Critics argue Patel’s qualifications and his approach to FBI authority could lead to partisan retribution. As FBI Director, Patel would oversee 37,000 employees and multiple international offices.

Bernie Sanders has sharply criticized Elon Musk for his defense of the H-1B visa program, which allows U.S. companies to hire foreign workers for skilled positions. Sanders argues that the program helps replace well-paying American jobs with cheaper labor from abroad, benefiting billionaires like Musk. The senator calls for an end to the program to ensure that U.S. workers are prioritized and that corporations no longer rely on cheaper foreign labor. This ongoing debate highlights the clash between immigration policy, corporate interests, and American workers' rights.

The House passed a stopgap funding bill to avert a government shutdown just hours before the midnight deadline. The bill extends funding through March 2025, providing disaster relief and farm aid, but excludes the debt limit suspension demanded by President-elect Trump. The bill now moves to the Senate for approval before being sent to President Biden. Speaker Mike Johnson and other Republicans worked to secure Democratic support, while Trump’s opposition led to changes in the bill's provisions.
