Last Week
Linda McMahon was confirmed as Secretary of Education (51-45).
The Senate voted to undo two frivolous financial regulations proposed at the end of the Biden Administration (50-47 & 51-47).
The Senate failed to advance Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s “Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act” (51-45, but 60 votes were needed). Not a single Democrat voted to protect female student-athletes from having to compete against or share locker rooms with biological males.
Conservative Spotlight
A DOGE CR? — Conservatives on and off Capitol Hill last week rallied around President Trump’s call for Congress to pass a six-month extension of current federal spending levels. With Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency identifying waste, fraud, and abuse, freezing all spending levels will actually lead to budget cuts by the end of the fiscal year in September. In 2025, a “clean” Continuing Resolution or “DOGE CR” will enable the president and his team to continue their work reforming the budget from the Executive Branch.
TED CRUZ — Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) hailed the Trump Administration’s decision last week to cancel $400 million worth of federal grants to Columbia University. The disgraced Ivy League school has coddled and encouraged the antisemitic students who have harassed and threatened Jewish students. Cruz has long called for stronger action against antisemitic racism on elite campuses. In January, he even predicted Trump would finally hold Ivy League racists to account. Last week, he took to X to identify even more federal funding [ [link removed] ] at Columbia that Trump could cut.
RAND PAUL — Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) sent a letter to the Small Business Administration asking for information about whether the Biden Administration illegally gave Covid relief funding to Planned Parenthood. Biden’s agency obstructed this investigation into unlawful grants to the nation’s largest abortion provider. Hopefully, we will now get the truth.
This Week
The first Senate vote of the week will be to confirm Lori Chavez-DeRemer as Secretary of Labor.
Then, the Senate will vote on whether to take up S.331, the HALT Fentanyl Act, a bipartisan bill to increase criminal penalties for fentanyl trafficking.
Later in the week, the Senate will consider other nominees, including Steven Bradbury for Deputy Secretary of Transportation and Abigail Slater for Assistant Attorney General.
Thank you for your continued support. We will keep fighting!
