The Senate, by its own standards, is concluding one of its most productive periods in recent history at the close of President Donald Trump<\/a>\u2019s first 100 days<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Republican-controlled Senate, which returned from a two-week recess on Monday, confirmed all of Trump\u2019s top nominees, including controversial picks like Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth<\/a>, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.<\/a>, and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, only five bills passed into law, partly due to Trump\u2019s reliance on executive orders and the Senate\u2019s focus on confirming his team.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Two notable laws were passed: one to avert a government shutdown and the Laken Riley Act.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
