(Redwave Press)—In a recent push to expedite the confirmation of his Cabinet members, President Donald Trump has called on Senate Republicans to “get tough very fast” and finalize the remaining nominations. Trump’s remarks, which underscore the urgency for national security, were highlighted in a statement where he accused Democrats of deliberately delaying the process, thus jeopardizing the country’s safety.
The Senate has been working to confirm Trump’s appointees at a pace that Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) has described as “ahead of schedule” compared to Trump’s first term. During that time, it took 43 days to confirm the first 12 nominees. Thune has advocated for what he calls the “Obama standard,” where former President Barack Obama saw his first 12 nominees confirmed within his first 15 days.

However, the process hasn’t been without its challenges. Last week, Pete Hegseth was narrowly confirmed as Defense Secretary, requiring a tiebreaking vote from Vice President JD Vance, indicating the close margins and the political tension surrounding some of Trump’s picks.
Trump’s latest comments reflect his impatience with the confirmation process, insisting that the safety of the nation hinges on having his full Cabinet in place. He emphasized that Democrats are “having a good time at the Country’s expense and safety,” suggesting their delays are politically motivated rather than based on the merits of his nominees.
This call to action comes at a time when several of Trump’s more controversial picks are under scrutiny. For instance, Tulsi Gabbard, nominated for a key intelligence role, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., proposed for Health and Human Services, have stirred debate among both Republicans and Democrats, with some GOP senators like Susan Collins (R-ME), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), and Mitch McConnell (R-KY) viewed as potential obstacles in their confirmation.
The urgency from Trump to “get tough” might also be influenced by the broader political context where the administration has already taken significant steps, including executive orders targeting federal spending, immigration, and more, which require a fully functioning Cabinet to implement effectively.
As the Senate continues to navigate through these nominations, the dynamic between the White House and Congress, especially with a Republican majority, will be critical in shaping the administration’s early policy execution and political landscape.
It’s time for the Senate to do its job and confirm for the nation the cabinet it needs as quickly as possible.

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
