@Barbramon1 I have no idea why any Dem would vote to confirm ANY of the demented lying felon's nominees at this point, even if she didn't have such an abhorrent track record. No one should be giving that administration ANYTHING at all. Giving passes to awful people is how we got here. It needs to end.

@CJPaloma To stop the nomination madness, Democrats must take the Senate.
No vote on Means hastaken place yet. Not sure when it will happen, but her nomination is practically guaranteed.
The vast majority of Democrats will rightly vote against her. Maybe Fetterman and one or two other sell outs will vote with republicans. Time will tell.
Means is every bit as awful as Kennedy Jr, but that won't stop the republican majority from rubber stamping her nomination.
