Marco Rubio confirmed by Senate to be next secretary of state, becomes first Trump cabinet pick to be approved
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio was confirmed unanimously by the Senate to be the next secretary of state, making him the first of President Trump’s Cabinet picks to receive congressional approval.
Rubio, a senator since 2011, was confirmed during a floor vote by the full Senate Monday night, several hours after Trump took his oath of office earlier in the day. The full Senate floor vote occurred following a separate vote by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, which also voted unanimously in favor of Rubio’s nomination Monday.
Rubio enters his role as secretary of state with a strong foreign policy background as a longtime member of the Senate’s Foreign Relations and Intelligence Committees. He is also a first-generation Cuban American.
This is great news.

As America expected, the second Donald J. Trump’s administration has hit the ground running, busy Making America Great Again.
One of the main factors of this American renaissance is the return to common sense energy policies, to reposition the US in its energy producer superpower status.
To do that, Trump will have to again take on the ‘Green New Deal’ and several other incarnations of the ‘Global Warming cult’.
One of his first decisions is, for the second time, withdraw the United States from the failed Paris climate deal, the Trump White House said today.

President Trump to Sign Executive Order Defining Sex as ‘Male and Female’ on First Day in Office
Jim Hᴏft, Gateway Pundit, Jan. 20, 2025

President Donald Trump is set to sign an executive order titled “Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government.”
It is part of over 200 executive actions that Trump will reportedly sign today at the Capital One Arena!
According to The Free Press, this order will establish a government-wide policy that affirms the biological reality of two sexes: male and female.
The executive order includes the following major provisions via FP:
- The Executive Order establishes Government-wide the biological reality of two sexes and clearly defines male and female.
- All radical gender ideology guidance, communication, policies, and forms are removed.
- Agencies will cease pretending that men can be women and women can be men when enforcing laws that protect against sex discrimination.
- “Woman” means an “adult human female.”
- The Executive Order directs that Government identification like passports and personnel records will reflect biological reality and not self-assessed gender identity.
- The Executive Order ends the practice of housing men in women’s prisons and taxpayer funded “transition” for male prisoners.
- The Executive Order ends the forced recitation of “preferred pronouns” and protects Americans’ First Amendment and statutory rights to recognize the biological and binary nature of sex.
- This includes protection in the workplace and in federal funded entities like schools.
An incoming White House official stated, “What we’re doing today is defining that it is the policy of the United States to recognize two sexes: male and female. These are sexes that are not changeable, and they are grounded in fundamental and incontrovertible reality.”
The executive order also directs the Department of Health and Human Services to ensure that federal funding is not utilized to promote “gender ideology,” effectively prohibiting the allocation of federal funds for gender transition procedures.
Additionally, the order impacts federal prison policies by instructing the Bureau of Prisons to house inmates according to their biological sex, a move that may lead to the relocation of transgender inmates.
The policy also seeks to prevent individuals from changing their sex designation on U.S. passports, which previously allowed for male, female, or “X” markers.
This action aligns with President Trump’s campaign promises to address issues related to gender identity. During his campaign, he pledged to “stop the transgender lunacy” and make it official U.S. policy that there are only two genders.
