Jeh Johnson was confirmed by the Senate 78-16 to be the new head of the Department of Homeland Security. This is the latest in a string of Senate confirmations of presidential appointees since Senate Democrats voted to change the rules and make it more difficult to filibuster. The Senate is expected to consider tomorrow the nomination of Alejandro Mayorkas, the current head of USCIS, to be a deputy DHS Secretary.
