President Trump should have all of his topenergy and environmental deputies in place in the coming days.
Why it matters: That will kick-start the regulatory rollback process at EPA and bring some more certainty to DOE and Interior as they deal with any fallout from the administration's funding pause.
Driving the news: The Senate has lined up a vote late Thursday to confirm Interior Secretary nominee Doug Burgum.
Burgum cleared a filibuster-breaking cloture vote yesterday 78-20, with with 24 Democrats and Independent Angus King voting in favor.
EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin has already been confirmed, as we told you yesterday.
And Senate Majority Leader John Thune has already filed a motion to bring DOE pick Chris Wright to the floor.
