BREAKING: Mitch McConnell just shut it down. No recess appointments, no cabinet approvals—Trump’s team is officially locked out. This isn’t just a casual move; the Supreme Court has made it clear that the Senate must recess or adjourn for at least 10 days before a president can make unilateral appointments. But here’s the catch: pro-forma sessions keep the Senate technically “open” during long breaks, with a lone senator showing up to open and close the chamber—no real business, just optics. And the House plays its part too, blocking any chance for the Senate to fully adjourn. McConnell’s maneuver leverages these rules to maximum effect, ensuring Trump’s team is stalled at every turn. Tactical genius or just petty politics? Either way, the gridlock is real.​
