Why are unprecedented successes in the Senate reserved for Senate Democrats?  For eight months, Senate Democrats successfully obstructed dozens upon dozens of President Donald Trump’s political nominees. Senate Republicans let them do it. The Democrat obstruction will now likely come to an end because the Senate deployed the “nuclear option” on Thursday afternoon. By a vote of 53-to-45, the Senate voted in favor of developing a new precedent that will allow the body to confirm presidential nominees in batches, rather than one by one. But this precedent is less a consequence of Democrat obstruction than it is a result of Republican laziness. No doubt, Democrat interference has been unprecedented. Though the Washington Post’s confirmation tracker puts Trump’s second term on pace with Biden administration confirmations, that does not tell the entire story.  The most limited resource in politics is not money or manpower—it is time. That is especially true in the Senate, which has an average work week of Tuesdays through Thursdays. And its rules are designed to slow down items moving through the upper chamber and allow for debate.  The Senate often boasts it is the greatest deliberative body in the world because, in theory, debate is unlimited prior to cloture bringing that debate to a close.  Before the Senate brings debate to an end, a cloture motion must be filed, which is almost always brought by the majority leader, and signed by at least 16 senators. That motion then has to “ripen” over a two-day period. Once ripened, the Senate votes on whether or not it will end debate, which normally requires 60 votes.  Even after the Senate has voted to bring debate to an end, however, there are still hours devoted to debate on the Senate floor, ranging from two hours to 30 hours depending on the item. For example, the Senate allows for two hours of debate following a successful cloture vote on a sub-Cabinet nominee, while it allows for 30 hours of debate for most legislation.  How, then, does the Senate speed things up? Through unanimous consent of the senators. In Trump’s second term, Democrats have refused to confirm a single civilian nominee by unanimous consent or a voice vote. In Trump’s first term, 65% of these nominees were confirmed in this manner, according to the Washington Reporter. During President Joe Biden’s term, it was 57%. It is worth noting, however, that the Senate is by no means obligated to advance calendar items by unanimous consent. Over 99% of Trump’s confirmed civilian nominees have had to go through cloture votes. When a one-minute voice vote is compared to the cloture process, one can only imagine the amount of time this has wasted in the last 8 months. Add on top of that not only the backlog of nominees but the backlog of their urgent responsibilities, and the cumulative effect becomes all the more apparent. It was necessary for Senate Republicans to break the blockade. They could have done it sooner. Senate Republicans should have waged a war of exhaustion. They got wise to this in the weeks before the August recess, confirming about a third of this year’s confirmations in the three weeks before August recess. And then they left Washington for a month. They could have decided not to recess for the month of August. They could have worked on Fridays or on weekends (like they originally promised).  As Rachel Bovard, vice president at the Conservative Partnership institute and longtime Senate veteran, posted on X, “The irony is that the post cloture time on this resolution to confirm a batch of 2 hour noms is 30 hours. They could have confirmed 15 noms in the time they’re now going to take running the post cloture time on the [resolution] to break their own rules.” The irony is that the post cloture time on this resolution to confirm a batch of 2 hour noms is 30 hours. They could have confirmed 15 noms in the time they’re now going to take running the post cloture time on the res to break their own rules. Lol. https://t.co/vA2AedZJTp— Rachel Bovard (@rachelbovard) September 11, 2025 As soon as Democrats showed they were serious about obstruction in January and February, the Senate floor should have been held hostage, with Republicans pushing through cloture and confirmation votes until unanimous consent became Democrats’ only reprieve. If that did not break the Democrats’ will, then the nuclear option should have been put on the table, and the button should have been pressed by late March. Senate Republicans should have given Trump his team as soon as possible, come hell or high water. Furthermore, if causing a hindrance of this magnitude was possible with the Senate rules currently on the books, why is it that Democrats did it first and not Republicans? Following the chicanery of the 2020 election, the clear and increasing signs that Biden was not actually wielding the power of the presidency, and the open radicalism of Biden administration appointees, Republicans had every reason to stymie the confirmation of the prior administration’s political appointees to the furthest extent possible.  Senate Republicans should have created the political conditions to force the Democrats to go nuclear long ago.  It seems Senate Republicans have broken the blockade. But they’ve done so in such a way that leaves their flank exposed, and the only reason it’s exposed is that they did not fight hard enough to protect it.

DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—The New York Times issued a correction on Thursday after falsely accusing Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk of making an antisemitic claim on his podcast. The New York Times falsely accused Kirk of stating on his podcast in 2023 that Jewish communities are “pushing the exact kind of hatred against whites” that they want people to stop using against them. However, Kirk cited a tweet making that claim and critiqued it, causing the New York Times’ correction to be made. “An earlier version of this article described incorrectly an antisemitic statement that Charlie Kirk had made on an episode of his podcast. He was quoting a statement from a post on social media and went on to critique it. It was not his own statement,” the correction reads. In actuality, Kirk clarified that not all Jews are pushing hatred onto white people. He stated that certain communities have pushed it by supporting left-wing causes such as Black Lives Matter. “Now let me just say, this is not a very well-written tweet. It’s very confusing. I’ll go through what they’re basically saying here. Half of this tweet is true, half of it, I don’t like. You want the truth said to your face. There it is. Elon responds, and he says you have said the actual truth … But the first part is absolutely true. Let’s go to this. Jewish communities have been pushing the exact kind of hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them,” Kirk said. “Now I don’t like generalizations. Not every Jewish person believes that. But it is true, the Anti-Defamation League was part and parcel with Black Lives Matter. It is true that some of the largest financiers of left-wing anti-white causes have been Jewish Americans,” Kirk said. After his death, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu referred to Kirk as a “lionhearted friend of Israel” who “stood tall for Judeo-Christian civilization.” The entirety of the article appeared critical of Kirk’s conservative views, such as his belief that teachers should not push gender ideology onto children. It also noted that Kirk criticized society’s fixation on race and condemnation of George Floyd, who factually had a lengthy criminal history before his death on May 25, 2020. The article stated that Kirk “dismissed concerns” about climate change and that he rejected the idea that global warming is an “existential threat.” Authorities arrested 22-year-old Tyler Robinson for the assassination of Kirk on Friday following a large-scale manhunt. President Donald Trump revealed on “Fox & Friends” that someone “very close” to Robinson turned him in. Originally published by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

If no one supports crime, why do activists fund candidates for office who, once elected, implement policies that enable it?  If anyone would know the answer, it should be Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who, earlier in his impressive career, worked closely with George Soros, the notorious funder of the rogue prosecutor movement.  Over the past few weeks, the nation’s eyes turned in horror to Charlotte, North Carolina, where Iryna Zarutska, a Ukrainian refugee, was fatally stabbed while riding a commuter train. Zarutska’s killer, Decarlos Brown, had suffered from mental health problems and claimed that he stabbed her “because she was reading my mind.” Many have pointed to Brown, who has had more than a dozen interactions with the state’s criminal justice system, as a stark example of the failure of soft-on-crime policies. For example, Chris Swecker, former chair of the North Carolina governor’s crime commission, told Fox News that Charlotte’s “no-cash bail, decriminalized drug crimes, and talk of defunding the police” have “conspired to drive crime rates up.” Yet, he added, progressive activists “don’t draw the connection” between their “pro-crime and anti-victim” policies and attacks like Zarutska’s stabbing.  Fortunately, normal people see a direct correlation.  Swecker’s argument illuminates a troubling dilemma concerning soft-on-crime reformers. On the one hand, empirical research has repeatedly shown that “progressive” measures such as eliminating cash bail and not prosecuting misdemeanors directly correlate with increased criminal activity. On the other hand, surely no one is truly “pro-crime” (as if illegal activity were, by itself, desirable). How, then, did we get here? What continues to motivate decriminalization and decarceration activists and donors? In June, these questions were raised in an unexpected arena when Trump Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent sat down for Miranda Devine’s new podcast. About halfway through the episode, the discussion turned to Hungarian-American billionaire George Soros. After Bessent observed that Soros has repeatedly bankrolled soft-on-crime prosecutors, Devine asked the million-dollar question: why? “Why the district attorneys? Why does he want to do that?” she asked. “That’s been hugely destructive to the country and law and order, so why would he want that chaos?” Heritage has been asking that same question for years. One of us (Stimson) co-wrote an entire book on the Soros rogue prosecutor movement but could never fully answer that question. Since 2015, Soros has poured tens of millions of dollars into district attorney races nationwide, positioning himself as a prosecutorial kingmaker in electoral contests that otherwise see comparatively little funding or media attention. In one Arlington, Virginia race in 2019, Soros’s support constituted 78% of his candidate’s war chest, independently eclipsing the entire election budget of the incumbent. Soros’s donations rapidly bore fruit; he successfully planted dozens of rogue prosecutors in the nation’s largest cities, including George Gascon in Los Angeles, Kim Foxx in Chicago, and Larry Krasner in Philadelphia. His candidates, once elected, have exercised de facto vetoes on states’ legislative power by simply choosing not to prosecute entire categories of crimes. You can read more about these rogue prosecutors here. In July 2022, Soros wrote an op-ed explaining the value he saw in hijacking DA elections. But the piece raises more questions than it answers: Soros asserts that the rogue prosecutor movement is based on “common sense” (as if rejecting the concept of deterrence were self-explanatory) and “evidence” (which he does not cite). The drumbeat of the article is about “restoring trust between the police and the policed,” yet Soros never satisfyingly explains how not prosecuting criminals could engender public trust in the criminal justice system. This brings us back to the Bessent–Devine conversation. How might Bessent, the Trump-appointed Treasury Secretary, have insights about Soros, whom Devine correctly introduced as the “bête noire” of the MAGA movement? As it turns out, Bessent and Soros go way back. CBS News, Politico, and Forbes have each described Bessent as an erstwhile “protégé” of Soros. Perhaps surprisingly, Bessent worked for the infamous Soros Fund Management, leading its London office and the team that made a billion dollars shorting the British pound. You can imagine, then, that when Devine asked Bessent about the causes of Soros’s radicalization, our ears pricked up. But despite being a man who has known Soros for decades, and a person who is extremely talented, Bessent’s answer was far from satisfying. “I don’t know what happened,” he said. “I’ve never been able to figure it out. The country has been great to him.”  Devine pressed him, asking, “Why the district attorneys?” But Bessent again had no direct response, instead confirming what we already know: “George is very good at figuring out systems,” and he realized that DA races are relatively “cheap” and “easy” to win.  That’s true, but we knew that.  Our conclusion? Bessent doesn’t know why. Perhaps nobody knows why, except Soros. Bessent could only offer that Soros holds a “very different vision” for America than conservatives do. Beyond this palpably obvious observation, the billionaire’s motivations remain a mystery. What is clear from Bessent’s conversation with Devine is that he too realizes that the Soros rogue prosecutor experiment has been an abject failure. In every city where a Soros rogue prosecutor has been elected, crime rates have exploded across most categories.  Progressives in large cities, who were first intrigued by the dulcet platitudes of Soros candidates, voted for these radical wolves in sheep’s clothing, only to find out later that public safety in their cities tanked, murders skyrocketed, stores were ransacked, and victims piled up because of soft-on-crime policies.  In time, these same progressives put their natural desire for public safety over platitudes and voted some of those rogue prosecutors out of office, including Chesa Boudin in San Francisco, George Gascon in Los Angeles, and Marilyn Mosby in Baltimore.  We may never know why Soros decided to fund rogue prosecutors. But we do know the results of this unmitigated disaster of a social experiment on American cities. The body count tells the tale.

Will Republicans in Congress hand Democrats a massive health care concession to avoid a government shutdown at the end of the month? That’s a question that has Capitol Hill abuzz. As Congress faces an end-of-September deadline to fund the government and avert a shutdown, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., is demanding that Republicans make concessions in terms of health care subsidies. “The American people are hurting because of how [Republicans] have decimated health care. We need bipartisan negotiation to undo that damage,” Schumer told reporters after meeting with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y. Schumer is in a position of both power and of vulnerability as he approaches funding negotiations, observers say. While Democrats hold some leverage, since their votes are needed to end debate on funding, Schumer is also under extreme intraparty pressure to secure concessions from Republicans after facing backlash in March for voting for a continuing resolution or stopgap funding bill. Jeffries similarly drew a hard line on demanding some yet-to-be-determined health care concession from Republicans. “We will not support a partisan spending agreement that continues to rip away health care from the American people. Period. Full stop,” he said. The battle lines are quickly being drawn around expiring COVID-era health care subsidies.  At the end of 2025, enhanced premium tax credits for former President Barack Obama’s signature Affordable Care Act are set to expire. Those enhanced credits were introduced during President Joe Biden’s administration under the American Rescue Plan Act to subsidize the cost of health care premiums as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic and then were further extended, but are set to expire at the end of 2025 by Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y. (Kent Nishimura/Getty Images) Now, Republicans have to decide whether or not to extend the enhanced tax credits. But they have some reason for treading with caution around health care issues: In the 2018 midterms, Republicans lost control of the House after an attempt to repeal Obamacare. Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., told Punchbowl News in a recent interview that Congress will most likely need a short-term, stopgap funding bill to provide more leeway for negotiations, but that there will be no Obamacare subsidy deal in exchange for Democrats’ votes on a short-term continuing resolution. “Not on a seven week [continuing resolution], no, no,” Thune said of a potential deal with Democrats on the issue, adding: I think this is an issue that will get dealt with in some way—I mean, whether we do anything or don’t do anything. We got a lot of people, and I’m kind of in the camp of [people who argue] those are [spending increases] for COVID, and we’ve got a serious problem that’s going to cost us over $300 billion to fix this if we stay at those enhanced levels, but we got people who are in different camps on that. Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D. (Alex Wong/Getty Images) Thune explained, “If we don’t do something, it would go back to the pre-pandemic level … . They’d still be there. I mean, you still got Obamacare subsidies, premium tax credits for people to get insurance, but they wouldn’t be the enhanced level that you see now.” Meanwhile, in the House, the notion of ceding ground to Democrats on the matter is met with disgust among many fiscal conservatives. “Look, the bottom line is that if the Democrats wanted them to last forever, they should have put that in the bill,” House Freedom Caucus Chairman Rep. Andy Harris, R-Md., previously told The Daily Signal. “The Inflation Reduction Act extended COVID-era enhanced subsidies until the end of 2025. COVID is over. The Democrats’ law is going to expire, and I think it should expire. It’s too expensive to renew.” He added: All this does is return us to the pre-COVID level of subsidies. Well, that’s the level that was passed by the Democrats. They should be happy with that in the Obamacare bill. But it’s at a cost of over $40 billion a year. If someone wants to propose how we pay for it, I might consider supporting it, but no one’s proposing how to pay for it. House Freedom Caucus Chairman Rep. Andy Harris, R-Md. (Tom Williams/CQ-Roll Call via Getty Images) Rep. Scott Perry, R-Pa., also a member of the Freedom Caucus, previously told The Daily Signal “Republicans should not support the continuation of that in any way.” But it is likely that Democrats in the Senate, where the need for some level of bipartisanship is inevitable, will try to build up as much pressure as possible to force major concessions on health care. Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., has urged President Donald Trump to “walk back the rise in price to everyone on Obamacare.” The post Dems Wield Obamacare Subsidies as Sword Over Shutdown Talks appeared first on The Daily Signal.

Looking for new ways to preserve tomatoes? Come learn how to make easy sun dried tomatoes using a dehydrator or oven (with optional fresh herbs) along with tips on how to best store them. These chewy, savory dried tomatoes are packed with intense flavors of summer that you can literally bottle to enjoy for many months to come! We love to add them to homemade sourdough bread, egg dishes, pasta, pizza and more. You may be wondering: what about the “sun” part? Unfortunately, it’s very challenging to properly dry tomatoes under the sun alone. Thick, juicy tomatoes readily mold if they don’t dry fully or fast enough. But guess what? Most store-bought “sun-dried” tomatoes are actually dried in commercial ovens or dehydrators too! NOTE: This post was originally published in August 2019 but has since been significantly updated. RELATED: If you need more ideas to preserve tomatoes, don’t miss our easy roasted tomato sauce (can or freeze), homemade ketchup recipe, or this guide on freezing tomatoes whole. Ingredients and Supplies Fresh tomatoes. You can dry any kind of tomatoes you have, including cherry tomatoes. The key will be cutting them into similar size pieces so they dry evenly. A food dehydrator or oven. (Be forewarned that drying tomatoes in the oven will take several hours.) We prefer to make sun dried tomatoes in our favorite food dehydrator since it effectively and fully dries the tomatoes without any risk of burning, and doesn’t require a watchful eye (or heating up the whole house) like the oven method does. Optional fresh herbs. We often use a combination of thyme, oregano, sage and/or basil from the garden. The addition of herbs make the sun dried tomatoes taste a lot like pizza! Expected Yield In this example, we started with about 4 pounds of fresh garden tomatoes and ended up with just under one quart of sun-dried tomatoes.Drying tomatoes shrinks and condenses them significantly… but that’s not necessarily a bad thing! That’s something I actually love about dehydrating food as a preservation method: how little pantry space the finished product takes up. Plus, the tomato flavor becomes exponentially more rich and concentrated as they dry too. Instructions 1) Prepare the Tomatoes Start by washing your tomatoes, and then gently pat them dry or allow them to air dry. Remove the stems and cut out the tough center core (if needed). Next, cut them into small even wedges such as quarters, sixths or eighths (depending on the size of your tomatoes). I find bite-size wedges dry best compared to wide flat slices. Cut cherry or grape tomatoes in half. A small serrated knife is the easiest for cutting tomatoes! The goal is to have most of the tomato pieces a similar thickness so they’ll dry evenly. The thinner you cut them, the faster they’ll dry – but also the more puny or brittle they can be. For thick chewy sun dried tomatoes, leave the pieces thicker (but no more than 1/2 inch thick). 2) Add Herbs (Optional) If you’re going to add fresh herbs, first place the cut tomatoes in a wide shallow mixing bowl. Next, wash, gently dry and chop your herbs of choice into small bits. I love any combination of oregano, thyme, basil, and sage. Sprinkle the herbs over the tomatoes, gently tossing as you go to evenly mix and coat them. We don’t usually measure, but I think we use about 1 heaping tablespoon of herbs for every 2 pounds of tomatoes. (Or just eyeball it.) 3) Dry Tomatoes Spread the cut tomatoes out on dehydrator trays or baking sheets lined with parchment paper in a single layer, not overlapping or touching. We don’t need any extra juices or seeds that may have come loose or collected on the cutting board (or mixing bowl) – leave those behind. Place the wedges with the skin-side down if possible, which tend to stick to the trays less than the fleshy parts. Since sun dried tomatoes can get sticky, we sometimes use our silicone dehydrator tray liners or parchment paper below them – though not necessary (and may increase drying time since it reduces airflow some). In a dehydrator, dry the tomatoes on 125 to 130°F. In the oven, set the temperature to 200 to 225°F. In the oven, it’s also recommended to rotate the trays or even flip the tomatoes halfway through. The time it takes depends on the method you use, moisture content and size of your tomatoes, ranging from 2 to 8 hours in the oven and up to 24 hours in a dehydrator (though the average is around 12 hours). See notes on how to tell when they’re “done” below. 4) Assess Doneness Sun dried tomatoes are finished drying when they’re shriveled, dry to the touch (no longer wet or squishy), but are still chewy and pliable. The exact time or level of dryness depends on your personal preference for texture, which will also impact their shelf life potential. The longer you dry sun dried tomatoes (the more moisture that is removed), the longer they’ll last in storage. However, they’ll also get increasingly hard, crunchy and brittle. Shorter drying times will result in more supple, chewy sun dried tomatoes, though they could also go bad (mold) in storage faster if they’re too wet. It’s a bit of a goldilocks situation – trying to get them just right. When I check on the tomatoes as they’re drying, I usually find pieces that finish drying fasters than others – so I simply remove those from the dehydrator while the others continue to dry. What if I dry the tomatoes too long? If your tomatoes end up a little more crispy than you were expecting, don’t fret! Depending on how you use them, sun dried tomatoes do an excellent job at reabsorbing moisture and plumping back up later. For example, if you add them to sauces, bread dough, quiche, sautéed vegetables, or other meals that have some moisture to spare. You can also put crunchy sun dried tomatoes in a small bowl of water or oil for a couple hours before use to re-soften them. This batch is a bit on the crunchier side, but they’ll also last longer in dry storage. How to Store Dried Tomatoes Transfer your homemade sun-dried tomatoes to an air-tight container for storage, such as a mason jar with a tight-fitting lid or glass container with a flip-top lid and gasket. We love these stainless steel storage lids with an internal silicone gasket, which provide a better seal than a traditional two piece mason jar lid.  Store sun-dried tomatoes in a cool, dark, dry location such as a pantry, root cellar, or cool cupboard. If thoroughly dried, they do not require refrigeration – though it can help extend their shelf life. FAQ: Can I store homemade sun dried tomatoes in olive oil? Proceed with caution. While it’s a popular method that many people enjoy, storing dried tomatoes in olive oil could create the perfect anaerobic environment for botulism to grow – especially if your tomatoes have any moisture left in them. The National Center for Home Preservation advises against it, stating that botulism can grow if just one droplet of water is present. Shelf Life Homemade sun dried tomatoes should stay good for several months or even up to a year. The exact shelf life depends on storage conditions and just how much they were dried. We have stored dehydrated tomatoes at room temperature for well over 6 months without them molding or spoiling. However those were pretty dry, so if yours are more supple and chewy, you may want to store them in the refrigerator to better preserve them. Ways to Use Sun Dried Tomatoes Sun dried tomatoes add a wonderful bite of flavor and texture to a wide variety of meals, including pasta (or zoodles), sandwiches, pizza, and egg dishes like quiche, frittata, scrambled eggs or omelettes. They’re also fantastic in salads, including green salads or other cold salads like quinoa, rice, pasta, or potato salad. We love to tuck sun dried tomatoes into homemade sourdough bread, simply by adding them to the dough during the first stretch and fold. They rehydrate and plump up nicely given the time to rest in the wet dough! Enjoy! Easy peasy. Now you have your very own homemade sun dried tomatoes to enjoy for months to come.
