Senate Packs Nominees Like School Lunchboxes, Votes Inside

In a move that screams efficiency or menace, the Senate changed its rules so majority leaders can cram nominees into giant voting packages rather than suffer the soul-sucking ordeal of individual votes. This means instead of debating each nomineeâs credentials (or eyerolls) one by one, they bundle them like a Netflix series binge: you get them all now or suffer spoilers later. No names or dates yet, but expect this to turn confirmation hearings into the legislative equivalent of speed dating, except everyoneâs on the same terrible team. Because why debate when you can herd confirmation cats in one fell swoop?
