Summary

Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell reportedly warned that there will be no recess appointments, directly opposing Donald Trump’s plan to bypass Senate confirmation for controversial cabinet nominees, including Matt Gaetz.

Gaetz has faced allegations of drug use and sexual misconduct.

McConnell’s stance sparked widespread discussion about a looming constitutional showdown.

Critics argue recess appointments could undermine Senate authority and pose national security risks.

Observers question McConnell’s influence, noting potential leadership changes, while others see this as a critical test of Senate integrity against Trump-aligned Republicans.

    Don’t worry, Trump now will see him as The Enemy and use everything at his disposal against him.

    I mean, probably. Unfortunately, McConnell’s actually right for once. Whether he’s right for the right reasons is irrelevant at the moment.

      The enemy of my enemy.

      We can agree with him and root for him. Just keep in mind who he is and what he’s done. Don’t allow a short memory to curb that perspective.

      In the meantime, while the monsters fight we should be collectively working to shore up things in our communities. I’m working on mine.
