Senate confirmation hearings for President-elect Trump’s cabinet picks begin today, including Republican Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama for Attorney General. We get a recap of day one, and find out whether it is significant that hearings are beginning for some nominees before they have filed all of the required paperwork for background checks and conflict of interest disclosure. And we examine the issues raised in Governor Walker’s State of the State address, and what is likely to be raised in his budget address.
