Robust action this week on energy, environment nominees
The Senate is moving to fill out lower-level openings at the nation's top energy and environment departments after confirming President Donald Trump's Cabinet. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) has moved to wind down debate on Interior Department deputy secretary nominee Katharine MacGregor and Department of Energy deputy pick James Danly. That means votes on them are imminent. MacGregor would reprise her role from the first Trump administration. Danly chaired the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission during Trump's first term.

And I want to make it very clear that we're going to process those nominees in a timely fashion,' Thune said during recent remarks, apparently referring to Democratic delay tactics.

Senate moves to take up MacGregor, Danly nominations
The Senate is moving to take up two of President Donald Trump's most senior pending energy and environment nominees. Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) moved Thursday to wind down debate on Katharine MacGregor for Interior deputy secretary and James Danly for the same position at the Department of Energy. The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee approved both on a bipartisan basis in April. Ranking member Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) was one of their supporters.

I have worked with both of them before, but they are knowledgeable about these agencies, and they will help lead,' Heinrich said.
