NEW: Ernst Signals Hegseth Vote Following Second Meeting

This dish is truly delightful and a great way to wrap up the week. Pete Hegseth, a military veteran and former host of “Fox & Friends Weekend,” has been officially appointed as Secretary of Defense by a narrow 50-50 vote, with Vice President JD Vance casting the deciding vote to break the tie, resulting in a 51-50 outcome. The reaction? It’s like fireworks going off in the Pentagon.

Hashtag: “Winning.” 



Of course, the Democrats have to do their requisite grandstanding and hand-wringing over this development, and they never fail to disappoint.

First to weigh in: Sen. Liz Warren (D-MA), who warned that the confirmation of Hegseth means the world just became less safe.

“Sad and Dangerous,” should be the title of her next book.

And all that emotion and criticism we saw from the female senators before? Well, they’re taking it up a notch this time. In particular, Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), a veteran herself, is making quite a statement with her strong words.

Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) disparaged Hegseth’s Bronze Star, claiming Hegseth failed to meet the “basic standards” servicemembers must live up to. 

Excuse me?!

Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) expressed concern over the 100,000 servicemembers of Georgia who Warnock speaks for… or something. 

You mean the same servicemembers who backed Hegseth 1000 percent? Read the room, buddy.

On the punditry side, Never Trump and Bulwark-bro Tim Miller is quite perplexed by how things are done in the Senate.

Cryin’ Adam Kinzinger is also struggling with the concept of the vice president having to provide a tie-breaking vote; like, it’s the only duty of the vice president outlined in the Constitution.

But chances are, neither Miller nor Kinzinger has ever read it.

The Democrats failed to get a Republican scalp, and another Trump cabinet nominee is now in place. Along with the servicemembers over whom Hegseth will have oversight, the American people are feeling relieved and a lot more confident in the future.
