As the government shutdown continued into its second week, Senate Republicans voted to confirm over 100 of President Trump’s nominees.

From Breitbart:
The U.S. Senate voted 51-47 to confirm more than 100 of President Donald Trump’s nominees on Tuesday, during the seventh day of the government shutdown.
Among the batch of 107 of Trump’s nominees were “more than two dozen ambassadorial appointments,” along with over a dozen United States Attorneys, according to the Hill.
Sergio Gor — who Trump nominated to serve as the U.S. Ambassador to India and Special Envoy for South and Central Asian Affairs — and former Georgia U.S. Senate candidate Herschel Walker — who Trump nominated to serve as U.S. Ambassador to the Bahamas — were among the nominees confirmed.
Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso expressed that Democrats on the upper chamber had “shut down the Senate floor” prior to the shutdown, freezing the confirmation process. Senate Republicans managed to break through, ending the “Democrats’ confirmation blockade” according to Senator Barrasso.
Breitbart notes that Senate Republicans made a rules change, allowing them confirm all 107 nominees in a single vote rather than confirmed each nominee individually. Senator Markwayne Mullin highlighting this in an X post:

Senator Mullin also highlighted that these confirmations came even in the midst of the government shutdown. According to Fox News, the shutdown, now on its second week, shows no sign of stopping, even as the White House increased pressure.
As the shutdown continues, let’s pray for a God honoring solution, and let’s thank God for Senators like these Republicans who are still working to serve Americans in the midst of the chaos!

Heavenly Father we praise you as the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings.We adorn Him who is control over all things.You put the nations to naught and the plans of the people to no effect.We thank for the nominations and those still working for this nation.We thank for thr hostages being freed and give you all the glory and all the praise.We pray for our military and those working to receive pay.You own the cattle on a hill ,the gold and silver is yours and all things were created for and by you.We thank you that any man that digs a hole for another man’s foot to fall in that he will fall in it .So we are grateful for our President and his cabinet members their safety and their families safety.We pray for Our ice officers and their protection and their families protection.We pray for the end to this government shutdown in a Godly time line that will be honoring to you.we are one nation under one God and no others.In Jesus mighty name we pray.
Praying that all those who will not get a paycheck not suffer any harm and that the Lord will meet their every need. That the Lord will give those in leadership creative ways to solve this problem and that He would touch the hearts of the Democrats that call themselves Christians and of those that call themselves moderates. Paying that Mr Musk gets involved again with the President and use some of his creative ideas to get these people paid.
Lord Jesus, may Your will prevail in all situations and circumstances related to the government “shutdown’.
May the recalcitrance, hypocrisy, and obstruction of those holding our nation hostage through refusal to pass this CR bill, find that it continues to boomerang on them instead of getting them what they are throwing fits about. They remind me of bratty toddlers who need firm and steady discipline, so may it be provided so that they can mature into responsible adults. So sad that they are well beyond the age where we should be able to expect it.
Praise God that these nominations were approved. It is sad that it took this long and this circumstance!
Thank You Lord for our Senators that continue to work. Father I lift up the Democrats in Congress and pray for their salvation. I pray Father that you touch their minds & hearts so they can be changed to see what is good and begin to know you Lord. I thank you Father for placing President Trump as the authority over us. I pray for peace & prosperity around the world. I give You all the praise, all the honor & all the glory and ask these things in Jesus name. Amen 🙏🏼
Yes, I agree and am thankful for your taking time to write and share these excellent prayer requests with so many of us. May our Lord be honored and glorified.

Praise God for the Republicans doing the right thing in serving this nation with dignity! The Democrats are corrupt and don’t care about the good of this country.
