The former fracking executive said in confirmation hearings that his top priority would be to “unleash” American energy production.

The cloture vote (the vote to end debate) was last week. A roll call will be posted here in a day or two.

Americans: it’s really important to reach out to your Senators and ask them to stop voting for nominees (and every other action) at every step right now.

Edit: Supposedly every Republican voted to confirm, along with 8 of the 47 Democrats and independents. The 8 are:

  • Bennett (CO)
  • Gallego (AZ)
  • Hassan (NH)
  • Heinrich (NM)
  • Hickenlooper (CO)
  • King (ME)
  • Lujan (NM)
  • Shaheen (NH).
