Trump’s a performance artist. Seems like he’s picking other performance artists for his cabinet now - literal ones like editorial news hosts and guys that wear half a tub of hair gel like Gaetz.
That’s not hair gel

Sheep dip?

Drill, baby, drill.
In a nutshell, yes.

You know what’s really crazy?
RFK Jr at HHS, Matt Gaetz as Attorney General, and it’s still better than the alternative last week…
-
Ok @LuFins-Dad , maybe you don’t like dudes in skirts, I’m not in love with the fashion statement myself. But what was the HHS doing last week that made you think that RFK running it would improve things on net?
-
It’s nice to see how much Trump learned from last time. This is so professional compared to 2016.

Meanwhile, work goes on.
Word is, Mike Rogers is headed to see Trump and is under consideration to head the FBI. His competition is Kash Patel.

Treasury looks like it's down to Bessent or Lutnick.

Alabama Mike Rogers or Michigan Mike Rogers?
Michigan.

I'm not clear whether these en masse "recess appointments" were ever more than a figment of TDS imagination.
Unless by TDS means ‘Trump’s Dick is Small’ I’d say you’re wrong. He was the one pushing for it.

I had to do my own research on this, and my own thinking. This is what I believe. First, recess appointments don't need congressional approval, so the leader of the senate plays no role in them. The senate apparently has to vote for a recess, though. If Trump advertises his desire to do recess appointments, the Senate won't go into recess until his cabinet is confirmed and filled. That's why he advertised his desire to do the recess appointments. If he had really wanted to subvert expectations and jam through a bunch of recess appointments, he would have kept it secret and waited for an unaware congress to call its next recess.
