Summary

President-elect Donald Trump’s team warned Republican lawmakers to support his controversial Cabinet picks or risk facing primary challenges funded by Elon Musk.

Amid scrutiny over nominees like Matt Gaetz for attorney general and Pete Hegseth for defense secretary, Trump insisted the president determines the Cabinet.

Resistance has grown among Senate Republicans, including Sen. Thom Tillis, opposing “recess appointments” to bypass confirmation.

Senators like Josh Hawley and Mitch McConnell emphasized the need for proper constitutional vetting of nominees despite Trump’s pressure tactics.

    Who knows what state MAGA and Musk will be in by then?

    For Musk, I personally hope he’s in the 6 foot under state pretty damn soon.

    I was sick of that piece of shit before, but lately he’s been going full douche overdrive. He’s buying the entire government… If this isn’t the best damn case against having billionaires as a possibility I don’t know what is.
