Oh, my heart was in my throat last night when I saw Senator Markwayne Mullin’s Xweet.
Kash Patel was up for a cloture vote at about 5:30 EST last night – would there be a last-minute Democratic or Rino-tic wrench thrown in the works?
An update on Senate procedure—
~5:30pm ET, the Senate will vote on a motion to proceed to executive session for @Kash_Patel. Then we’ll file cloture to put him on the clock. Procedure aside — he’s set to be confirmed by Thursday.
