Good news. LFG.
Sen. Rand Paul was the only Republican who voted “NAY” on Sen. Mullin. He just gets worse and worse. We barely have a party. We only have Trump.

In a 54-45 vote, largely along partisan lines. Two Democrats who voted to confirm Mullin: John Fetterman (D-PA) and Martin Heinrich (D-NM). One Republican who did not support his confirmation: Rand Paul (R-KY). Fox News: The Senate confirmed Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., as the ninth Homeland Security secretary, capping a sprint to replace embattled outgoing Secretary Kristi Noem. It also caps off a 13-year career in Congress that began in the House and saw Mullin score a seat in the Senate in 2021 where he became the de facto bridge between both chambers, helping to build trust between the House and Senate during last year’s push to pass the “big, beautiful bill.” Ahead of the vote he arrived flanked by his family, and was excited to cast his final vote on himself (Fox News). Mullin’s biography is atypical for the Senate, much less a cabinet member: Senator Mullin is an enrolled member of Cherokee Nation and is the first Tribal citizen to serve in the U.S. Senate in nearly two decades. He is the second Cherokee Nation citizen to ever serve in the chamber. Markwayne Mullin is a former undefeated Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighter with a professional record of 5-0. He was inducted into the Oklahoma Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2016. Mullin has remained active in the wrestling community since his retirement from the sport, continuing to coach his children and other young athletes in wrestling tournaments across the country on weekends through today (from his now-pulled-down Senate bio).
