It’s about time…
Senate Majority Leader John Thune is reportedly prepared to trigger the “nuclear option” to fast-track over one hundred of President Trump’s nominees through the Senate.
This could happen as soon as Monday.
Take a look:
BREAKING: Senate Leader John Thune is set to invoke the “NUCLEAR OPTION” as soon as TOMORROW to finally ram through President Trump’s nominees, per Daily Caller.
This would change Senate rules to allow through over 100 Trump nominees much quicker.

Basically, Thune is expected to change the rules in order to break through Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s block on the process.

SEN. JOHN THUNE TO TRIGGER “NUCLEAR OPTION” FOR TRUMP NOMINEES
Senate Majority Leader John Thune is reportedly preparing to fast-track more than 100 of Trump’s stalled nominees.
The move would drop the 60-vote filibuster threshold to a simple majority.
That tactic was last used in 2013 and 2017 to speed confirmations, cutting average delays by 45 days, per the Congressional Research Service.
With record filibusters clogging the Senate, this maneuver could not only clear Trump’s backlog but also reshape how future majorities push through controversial bills.
This comes after months of Democrats — led by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer — stalling the confirmation process.
The Daily Caller via AOL has more:
Senate Republicans are on the verge of breaking Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s stranglehold over the confirmation process, ending seven months of unprecedented obstruction that has sought to prevent President Donald Trump from staffing his administration.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune is expected to invoke the rarely-used “nuclear option” to reform Senate rules allowing for the simultaneous confirmation of lower-level executive branch nominees as early as Monday, a senior Republican aide told the Daily Caller News Foundation. The historic rules change could grant the more than 100 civilian nominees who have been blocked from their postings due to Democrats’ persistent delay tactics a swift confirmation vote before the Senate is scheduled to go on recess on Sept. 19.
Thune has warned since July that Republicans would move to reform the upper chamber rules to circumvent Democrats’ nomination blockade if Schumer did not agree to speed up the confirmation process. The majority leader has worked to find consensus among his conference over the past several weeks to move forward with changing Senate rules.
Thune organized a working group in August after negotiations with Democrats to clear the backlog of executive branch nominees collapsed. The cohort included Republican Sens. Katie Britt of Alabama, James Lankford of Oklahoma, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, Eric Schmitt of Missouri and Ted Budd of North Carolina.
The working group has coalesced around a plan to change Senate rules allowing for en bloc confirmations, meaning in groups, according to a senior Republican aide. The reform is based on a 2023 proposal from Democratic Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar that would have permitted up to ten nominees who have cleared the same committee to be confirmed at once.
Senate Republicans’ proposed reform, however, is likely to be more expansive by not capping the amount of nominees that could be confirmed at one time.
The proposed rules change is also expected to exempt judges and Cabinet nominees. It is unclear whether Senate Republicans will allow executive branch nominees from multiple committees to be confirmed in one grouping.
Schumer has sought to grind the confirmation process to a halt since the opening days of Trump’s presidency. The lead Democrat told The Wall Street Journal in February that he would urge his caucus to vote “no” on every Trump nominee. Democrats have largely followed through by holding up every executive branch nominee since then.
I still don’t know why Sen. Thune essentially sided with Democrats on obstructing the process by refusing to do what President Trump said originally and work through August recess to confirm his appointments.
But, better late than never, I guess.
Do it, Mr. Senator!
