Senate Swarms with Key Legislation | Santa Fe News

The Senate packed a punch this week, passing key bills including the Youth Poisoning Protection Act to curb high-sodium nitrite products, the Bankruptcy Threshold Adjustment Act, and the Foreign Robocall Elimination Act to tackle illegal calls. They also reauthorized the Kay Hagan Tick Reauthorization Act. Big news on nominations: Erica Schwartz, with deep health experience from the Coast Guard, Navy, and as deputy surgeon general, was confirmed to lead the CDC by a 51-44 vote. Meanwhile, senators rejected a motion to roll back PFAS reporting rules, voting 48-52, amid debate over infrastructure readiness versus environmental protection. In a historic move, they voted to consider 74 presidential nominees — ambassadors and judges — all at once, sparking concerns about bipartisan balance, but still passing 50-44. The House?
