Just,,,,wow.gotta go
HHS secretary Becerra — his hand is heavily in this — is too well known to me. He was state assemblyman of a neighboring district before becoming my Congressman in 1992. He was heavily backed by the wealthy “libs” aka Marxists in Mt Washington. Then appointed CA AG before Biden made him HHS. Damned Marxist from the get go.

If you’re catching flak, it means you’re over the target
Thomas Massie when asked by a reporter if Gaetz will be confirmed by the Senate- “He doesn’t have to be, recess appointments, suck it up!”
I’m still not so sure about this. Since Trump is only Prez elect, and Congress reconvenes on Jan 6 before he’s inaugurated, how can he appoint anyone during the recess this year?
Q: Can Congress refuse to go into recess?
Yes, Congress can effectively refuse to go into recess by holding “pro forma” sessions, where a member briefly convenes the chamber to prevent a recess from occurring. This tactic can block the president from making recess appointments.
