BREAKING: Democratic Senator Brian Schatz strikes a crushing blow against Donald Trump as he expands his historic hold on MAGA nominees to include 50 new names.

And he wasn’t even close to done there…

With these new holds, Schatz has now halted over 300 Trump nominees in protest of Trump’s flagrant “lawlessness.” Additionally, he’s blocking a slate of foreign affairs bills.

The new holds include Trump’s nominee for Labor Department inspector general as well as his pick to lead the Office of Personnel Management. The holds span more than a dozen agencies and departments, including the State Department.

The nine bills that Schatz is blocking recently passed the Senate Foreign Relations Committee — meaning that Trump likely thought that they’d be sailing through to his desk — but now they’re held up as Schatz demands better oversight of this corrupt administration.

The holds are also intended to protest Trump’s gutting of the federal government and his disastrous tariffs that are quickly destroying the U.S. economy.

While some nominees can still be confirmed through a more circuitous process, Schatz’s hold ensures that they will be dramatically delayed.

“Their lawlessness is escalating and they are intentionally destroying the economy, and so I don’t think we should make anything easy going forward,” Schatz told Axios.

“Until they start complying with the law and until I hear from Marco Rubio in the Foreign Relations Committee, we’re just not going to be cooperative,” he added.

“You can’t be a senator in private. If you’re going to stand up to the president, people have to see you doing it,” Schatz said.

This is exactly what we need from Democrats right now. Donald Trump is singlehandedly destroying the United States of America. The time to resist is now.
