@davidaugust The American intelligence assets are now at significant risk.
What won’t Trump sell out.
@charvaka yes. But here’s the thing. The people in Congress are there partly because they sought out power for themselves. They may not be so eager to give up that power.
They may think capitulating to 45 is the path to power, but some may be self-serving enough to push back at the stripping of their power.
@anubis2814 @charvaka it sounds like Thune is open to recess appointments but not set on them yet. https://www.argusleader.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/11/13/south-dakota-senator-john-thune-says-recess-appointments-still-an-option-for-trump-cabinet/76265376007/
We can, by contacting our Senators and Representatives demand the full advising and consenting of appointments (and yes, Representatives can add pressure to the Senate to not do recess appointments).
