They appear to have assumed that if they voted for Trump's more "reasonable" nominees, their Republican colleagues would help defeat the worst nominees: RFK, Jr., Gabbard, Hegseth.

As my Geometry teacher taught us, when you assume you make an "ass" of "u" and "me."

Did the Democratic leadership in the Senate make a bargain across the aisle that was broken by the Rs? If so they've been silent and protected the bullies. My guess is they didn't even try.
