Summary
Sen. Brian Schatz (D-HI) announced he will block all of Trump’s State Department nominees until USAID is reinstated.
His move comes after Elon Musk took control of USAID, placed senior staff on leave, and seized classified information.
Schatz condemned the administration’s “authoritarian behavior” and vowed to delay confirmations until USAID operates normally.
His blockade could significantly slow Trump’s ability to fill key diplomatic positions, forcing Senate Republicans to spend more time pushing nominations through.
“Person with no power to do anything claims to be doing something.”
The filibuster isn’t just an excuse to not give dem voters what they voted for…
Sometimes it can be used for good.
Filibuster doesn’t apply to nominees.

Who is talking about the SC?
It’s just weird this isn’t the first time this has happened today
It’s not the SC, he’s talking about nominees in general which can’t be filibustered.
