Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer struck a deal to allow a unanimous consent confirmation of 7 federal court nominations, and a fast track on 8 others. And #TheResistance is pissed.

Schumer’s Proposal to Rename Building after McCain Unifies GOP . . . Against the Idea
Hours after the death of Senator John McCain (R-AZ) was announced, Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) proposed renaming the Russell Senate office building the McCain Building. Soon-to-be former Senator Jeff Flake (R-AZ) quickly added his name to the proposal.
The idea, however, has been met with push back from other Senators, including McCain’s...
Schumer: Trump should pick Merrick Garland to replace Justice Kennedy, and also unicorns
As the July 9 date for Trump to announce his pick to replace Justice Anthony Kennedy nears, there is a vicious multi-front war evolving.
Of course, Democrats are attacking every likely nominee, with the anti-Catholic bigotry against Amy Coney Barrett the most prominent. Barrett would be the most finger-in-the-liberals-eye pick, and not...
Warren’s Bank Rebellion Causing Headaches for Schumer
We all know that millionaire Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) hates banks and the financial sector. The woman seethes about it at every opportunity.
Well, the idea of the government easing some some of the banking rules under Dodd-Frank has left her fuming. To make it worse for her SOME OF HER DEMOCRAT...
Democrats Pin Midterm Hopes on Tax Hike Plan
Earlier this week Senate Democrats introduced a tax plan designed to show what Democrats can be expected to do should they win back majorities in Congress.
Trump Reminds “Cryin’ Chuck Schumer” That DACA Negotiations Must Include a Wall
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) needs to snap back into reality. Look, the Democrats do not have control of Congress and Donald Trump is our president and it looks like Schumer still isn’t ready to accept the fact that he doesn’t have power. Even after he
Schumer pretends he has bargaining power, takes The Wall off the negotiating table
Senate Minority Leader Schumer managed to single-handedly tick off the entire Democrat, progressive, and liberal political world with his inability to bring home any bacon from the shutdown fiasco.
Is it time for Chuck Schumer to step aside and let women lead Senate Dems?
Today is an embarrassing day to be a Democrat.
Senate Democrats wasted an entire grandstanding-filled weekend for a whole lotta nuthin. Rather than coming to an agreement with Senate Republicans and President Trump Friday, Democrats ended up accepting the deal (with nothing new in return) Monday.
Unconditional surrender by Democrats is the only acceptable outcome to the #SchumerShutdown
As this post goes live, there are lots of rumors of some sort of “deal” between Democrat and Republican “moderates” to end the government funding impasse.
The Democrats, and particularly Chuck Schumer, have talked themselves into a dead end of seeming to put the interests of illegal aliens ahead of U.S. citizens....
#SchumerShutdown #DACAshutdown
UPDATE: A cloture vote to end debate in the Senate on the funding bill passed by the House failed. So we’re heading to “shutdown” unless there is a last minute deal reached.
As a reminder of how Obama weaponized the 2013 shutdown, see my post Flashback to when Obama weaponized 2013 government shutdown.

Democrats: Trump must capitulate on DACA “to prove you’re not prejudiced or bigoted”
Dick Durbin’s claim that Donald Trump referred to “s***hole” non-white countries during a closed door DACA negotiation has lit a fire.
It appears to be part of a strategy from Durbin and Democrats to walk away from a DACA deal unless they get what they want (primarily amnesty without any changes in...
Particularly if you support Trump, you need to oppose an amnesty sellout
On July 13, 2015, long before it was clear or even likely that Trump would be the Republican nominee, much less president, I wrote at National Review how central the issue of illegal immigration was to Trump’s rise.
My post was Trump’s Lesson: Voters Are Furious about Illegal Immigration:
What in the world is happening with Trump, DACA, and the border wall?
Late Wednesday night, Democrats Sen. Schumer and White House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi announced they’d reached a deal with Trump on DACA and that funding for Trump’s campaign cornerstone, the border wall, was not part of the agreement, though they’d agreed to include some form of beefed up border security.

Strategery 2018: Dems unveil crappy new slogan, plan to promote single-payer
The lesson Democrats appear to have learned from losing to Donald Trump is that they need to move further to the left.
We see that in the roll-out of a pathetic new slogan focusing on language invoking FDR’s New Deal. As first reported by Jeff Stein at Vox, the slogan is …...
Grassley: Schumer Publicly Stated Trump Was Under Investigation … Knowing Full Well It Was Untrue
Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) has called out Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) over his public comments about the president being under investigation.
The problem, Grassley states, is that Schumer knew this was untrue because former FBI head James Comey had briefed not only the Senate Judiciary Committee but the Gang of...
CNN Claims Sen. Ben Sasse Has a Sense of Humor
CNN claims Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE) has a “sense of humor.” But what does CNN know, amiright?
It all started when Sen. Sasse tweeted thusly:
holy moly – it looks like @SenSchumer and I are smoking reefer outside a wedding…
— Ben Sasse (@BenSasse) May 18, 2017
After the tweet went viral,...
First Gorsuch Supreme Court decision: McConnell v. Schumer
Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) appeared this morning on Meet the Press and announced that the Republicans are unlikely to reach the 60 votes needed to confirm Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court. Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell (R-) later appeared on the same show and announced that Gorsuch would...
