GOP Hopes Trump’s Recess Blitzkrieg: Senate or Bust
Senate Republicans, tired of the Democratic blockade, flirt with letting President Trump wield recess appointments like a political cheat code. Sen.

Democrats counter with budget contingencies, insisting on deals tied to federal funding releases. But with Majority Leader Thune confirming 'All options remain on the table,' it’s basically a legislative game of chicken where the chickens are wired on nuclear options and endless adjournments.
