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.

      They didn’t give Biden immunity - they gave themselves the right to determine what actions a President can or cannot do with immunity.

      Unless it involves giving Israel more bombs, Biden doesn’t give a fuck

      If he cared about us, he wouldn’t have run for re-election in the first place.
