Left-wing U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren has called for immediate action by her fellow Democrats to help rush through judicial appointments ahead of President-elect Donald Trump’s assumption of office. In an op-ed published in Time magazine, the Massachusetts Democrat urged Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to maximize the remaining legislative session before a Republican-majority Congress begins in January. Warren emphasized the need for confirming federal judges and key regulators, who remain unaffected by presidential transitions.
Four federal appeals court nominees and 23 district court nominees are pending confirmation, with over forty openings waiting to be filled. The Senate Judiciary Committee is also considering a nominee for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. This lame-duck session of Congress, concluding on December 20, provides a limited timeframe for these confirmations before the 119th U.S. Congress is seated on January 3.
A notable nominee is Mustafa T. Kasubhai, a United States Magistrate Judge from Oregon, who recently attended a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, sparking debate. Senator John Kennedy questioned Kasubhai about courtroom protocols regarding personal pronouns. Kennedy referenced a directive from Kasubhai that suggested people in his court introduce themselves with their names and pronouns.
Maggie Buchanan of the far-left Demand Justice group also highlighted Warren’s desperation, asserting the importance of confirming left-leaning judges before Trump takes office.
Schumer has initiated procedures for a Senate vote on President Joe Biden’s nominations of Judge Jonathan Hawley and April Perry for federal trial courts in Illinois. Votes are expected next week. […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
