Bustle's Editors On Gorsuch + MTV

It's almost the weekend! Sure, we still have one more workday to get through before it's time for mid-afternoon naps and bottomless brunch, but breathe easy — we're nearly there, you guys.

But we're not going into the weekend quietly. Thursday hasn't exactly been a light news day, to say the least, thanks to Neil Gorsuch's Supreme Court confirmation hearings, Don Rickles' death (R.I.P.!) and much more. Here's a recap of all the news that had Bustle's editors talking today:

Neil Gorsuch + Going Nuclear

It's was a huge day for the Senate, as a partisan battle waged for and against the confirmation of Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch. Early in the day, Democrats filibustered Gorsuch's nomination, and in the afternoon, Republicans voted to use the "nuclear option," which changed long-held Senate rules to say a nominee could be confirmed by a 51-majority vote, which would pave the way for Gorsuch's confirmation. Already, prominent Democrats are voicing their concerns, with New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand calling the Republicans' decision "irresponsible." The vote is expected to happen tomorrow.

Oh, Man: Donald Trump, Jr. is reportedly thinking about running for Governor of New York. Sigh.
