I’ll cut to the hard truth—the GOP is stacking confirmation hearings for Trump’s unfit nominees, scheduling a bulk of them for next week.
All-around-creep Pete Hegseth (Defense) will get his hearing on Tuesday. On Wednesday we have corrupt Pam Bondi (AG), housepet-hater Kristi Noem (DHS), and Project 2025 architect Russell Vought (O.M.B.).
They’re also working on squeezing in hearings for the disgraceful Tulsi Gabbard (DNI), scandalous Linda McMahon (Education), and snake-oil salesman “Dr.” Oz (Medicare/Medicaid).
It’s a complete nightmare seeing all of these names in one place, imagining the damage they can do to our country.
Luckily, frightening children’s book author Kash Patel (FBI), and worm-brained Bob Kennedy (Health), won’t get hearings for jobs they are both wholly and completely unqualified for until late January.
There have been a lot of self-imposed roadblocks to the confirmation process, as nominees refused to submit pre-hearing questionnaires, background checks, and financial disclosures. In fact, Senate Dems have already pushed back Gabbard’s hearing for this very reason.
In 2017, Trump only had two cabinet members confirmed on Inauguration Day, so pumping the brakes on his terrible nominees is nothing new. Especially since these would be the most untrained, inexperienced, and ill-equipped folks serving in these roles in American history.
Which is why now is the perfect time for us to ramp up our massive pressure campaign against this clown car of cabinet picks.
Since the election, our Watchdog Coalition has sent more than 104,000 letters to Senators from their constituents—urging them to oppose the 9 nominees we listed above.
Next week, we’ll be amping up our outreach on social media, making more calls and sending more letters to Senators than we ever have before. We’ll also be covering the hearings individually to keep you informed, and we’ll call out the Press every time they sanewash these unfit nominees.
No one stands up to Trump or fights back against his cabinet picks harder than us—but we need all hands on deck, right now.

Who do you think is the worst nominee? It’s hard to pick just one, isn’t it?

I’d say the worst one is the person Trump nominated. Oh wait…
