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!

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.

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 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.
