As controversy continues to cloud some of Donald Trump's Cabinet picks, his team has a sharp warning for Republicans who don't fall in line, ABC's Jonathan Karl reports.

Summary

President-elect Donald Trump’s team warned Republican lawmakers to support his controversial Cabinet picks or risk facing primary challenges funded by Elon Musk.

Amid scrutiny over nominees like Matt Gaetz for attorney general and Pete Hegseth for defense secretary, Trump insisted the president determines the Cabinet.

Resistance has grown among Senate Republicans, including Sen. Thom Tillis, opposing “recess appointments” to bypass confirmation.

Senators like Josh Hawley and Mitch McConnell emphasized the need for proper constitutional vetting of nominees despite Trump’s pressure tactics.

      Random aside, but I did not get a notification for your reply.

      …Why? This happens a lot to me, and I thought it was a quirk with users on other Lemmy domains, but we’re both on .world.

        Yeah, that happens to me too. I haven’t noticed a pattern or indicator as to why though.

          This is the first time I’ve caught it without clearing my notifications. Is there any way to ping the devs about this? Maybe I’ll look for an issue on Lemmy’s git…

          And I just realized how awesome it is that I can do that vs. Reddit or any other social media where tickets are a black hole.

            Way better, for sure. Let me know if you get an answer.

          As an addendum, I got a notification from this above message, so it’s not like we’re bugged/blocked specifically from each others.
