President-elect Biden’s selections for his Cabinet are simply too extreme for the American people, and his effort to jam their confirmations through an evenly divided Senate proves his call for “unity” is a farce. These nominees have demonstrated disregard for the views of nearly half of the people of the United States and want to fundamentally alter their lives instead of bringing Americans together. As confirmation hearings begin, Senators must...

This week, the Senate is expected to vote on the confirmation of Alejandro Mayorkas to be the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). President Biden announced on November 23, 2020, that he would nominate Mayorkas to the post. He previously served as the Director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and as Deputy Secretary of DHS under the Obama Administration.

This bill is a massive $1.9 trillion stimulus package that does little to address the ongoing pandemic directly. For nearly a year, conservatives have insisted that any COVID relief should be targeted and temporary without bailing out wasteful governments. This bill has missed the mark on all points.
