Trump says Senate GOP leader candidates must agree to recess appointments

Trump says Senate GOP leader candidates must agree to recess appointments
President-elect Trump demanded Sunday that the next Senate GOP leader allow him to make recess appointments, which would effectively let him fast-track his nominees and appointments without needing Senate approval.

Any Republican Senator seeking the coveted LEADERSHIP position in the United States Senate must agree to Recess Appointments (in the Senate!), without which we will not be able to get people confirmed in a timely manner. - Donald Trump

This is essential. There is no other way. - Elon Musk

President-elect Donald Trump told Russian President Vladimir Putin not to escalate his country’s war with Ukraine in a phone call last week – the first between the two since the election, according to a new report.

The Washington Post reported the call was made last Thursday and cited sources who said Trump reminded his Russian counterpart during their conversation that the US had a significant military presence in Europe.

THE TRUMP EFFECT: Welcome To The United States of Infectious Diseases

A health department in Idaho has voted to halt its COVID-19 vaccination program, joining the growing number of regional governments pushing back against federal vaccination recommendations.

Federal workers prepare for cuts, forced relocations in Trump’s second term

With Donald Trump now less than three months away from retaking the White House, an office he won in part by pointing to his record as a businessman, thousands of federal workers in the D.C. region and across the country this week once again adjusted to a new status - as his future employees. And he has signaled many of them could soon be on the chopping block.

The CIA Thinks Putin Is Blackmailing Trump. Not That It Matters.

...I talked to, a couple of months ago, to Dan Coats, the former director of national intelligence under Trump. And I said, what’s going on in this relationship between Trump and Putin? And Dan Coats said, ‘It’s almost it’s so close. It seems like it might be blackmail,’” Woodward replied, adding:

CIA Director Bill Burns said Putin manipulates, he’s professionally trained to do that. Putin’s got a plan just to be just to do this exactly when Trump and it’s what he did when Trump was in office previously and he’s planning again at playing Trump. So there is much to watch, particularly in that relationship.

John Fetterman Is Mad!
As part of the Democrats’ ongoing blame game in the aftermath of their loss to Donald Trump, Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) took aim at his own constituents...“Pennsylvania is going to count every last vote,” Fetterman said Thursday evening. “That’s not controversial — that’s the law.

“Also, Green dipsh*ts’ votes helping elect the GOP.”

I do not want to be a bad loser, but there is something very weird about the numbers.

The Republicans had approximately the same votes as in 2020.,  The Democrats had 15,000,000 less votes with a higher registration than in 2020.  That, on the surface seems impossible. - amvetsupport

November's reading is the lowest since December 2020 and within the 2.3% to 3% range seen in the two years before the pandemic.
