And the Energy & Natural Resources hearing for Interior nominee Doug Burgum stands adjourned. Prediction: Confirmation.
Tom Cotton: "We've reached the point where almost everything has been said, but not everyone has said it.."
Bondi Day Two is adjourned (sans much in the way of fireworks) - not surprisingly. I think Bondi's confirmation is pretty well on its way.
Point from Burgum: Over half of the land that Interior controls is in Alaska.
Katie Britt raving about Ashley Moody being named Senate-designee - witnesses just getting the news and enthusiastic about it.
Lisa Murkowski actually makes some good points on how Alaska is underrated in terms of our mineral and energy resources - and an apt statement that, despite relevant laws and the statehood compact, the Dept. of the Interior too often acts as "Alaska's landlord."
Schiff has the nerve to ask if disaster relief will depend on whether the state is red or blue. This is from a guy whose party ignored East Palestine and North Carolina, which happened to be red.
Okay, okay. Sen. Moreno goes hard on illegals harming the housing market.
Sen. Kim - DEMOCRAT - blames "the market" as being the reason young Americans can't afford to buy houses.
Burgum won't be sidetracked into talking about "green energy." His focus is on base load.
Ed Markey berating Zeldin about whether he believes EPA is "obligated" to regulate fossil fuel emissions. Foolishly implying that fossil fuels are responsible for wildfires and NC flooding and hurricane. Good grief...
I feel like Ashley Moody will bring a similar energy to the Senate.
Good for him. Our winters are not to be taken lightly, but if you want to know the real Alaska, come visit in winter.
Zeldin told him he wanted to come to Alaska when it was as dark and cold as possible. Zeldin's no wuss lol!
