Strangely difficult to get any clarity about when the confirmation votes will happen for Kash Patel, Tulsi Gabbard, and RFK Jr. I did see that Tulsi's vote may be happening tonight or tomorrow.

I think they wait until the whips have the votes. Delays probably mean arms are being twisted and/or palms are being greased.

My understanding is that there will be 0 GOP dissenting votes against Gabbard.
She’s all but rubber stamped confirmed.

Tulsi confirmed. I think maybe the RFK vote is happening now.

That’s the procedural vote, not confirmation. From what I understand.

I’m sure they’re popping champagne corks in the Kremlin and Lyubanka at the breaking news.

Meanwhile, McConnel still has his heart set on torpedoing Trump. He was the only GOP dissenting vote for Gabbard.

TrumpGabbard. He was the only GOP dissenting vote for Gabbard.Corrected for accuracy, it’s not about Trumpigula. It’s about security and not just the USA’s.

I'm not sure McConnel will make his full term. The Murder Turtle is nearing the end.

How about one GOP senator not worried about reelection so he can vote his conscience?
It's not like he voted against everyone. But she and RFK are obvious nos to him if you've followed his career at all.

I wonder if personal financial gain plays a role in this process.

Yeah that was apparent early on. The battle will be more about specific policies. A letter signed by a bunch of pharma, academic, and patient groups was sent to me just today to see if we would sign on. It was about cuts to FDA.
NIH cuts are getting a lot of attention. 22 states sued, including some red ones.
