MURKOWSKI comes out against Hegseth for DOD, first GOP opponent. "The leader of the Department of Defense must demonstrate and model the standards of behavior and character we expect of all servicemembers, and Mr. Hegseth’s nomination to the role poses significant concerns that I cannot overlook."

New: Trump officials have paused all external communications at health agencies like CDC, FDA, NIH.
No health alerts and the famed MMWRs; no updates to key websites or social media posts.
And no indication how long the pause will last.

The NYT printed this in its op-ed section this AM: "A central pillar of American democracy is that no man is above the law. But Mr. Trump isn’t an ordinary man."
Wrong.
America doesn't have a king or a divine ruler. We elect an ORDINARY MAN as president.

If you ever see the question “Could Trump…?” the answer is YES!
If the Senate puts up a fight against President-elect Trump's demand for recess appointments, could Trump force Congress to adjourn and ram his nominees through anyway?
How far can Trump go to get his nominees confirmed?

As bad as it feels watching Trump assemble his team of unqualified sycophants, it would feel 1000 times worse if I knew I’d voted for or enabled him in any way. That’s why they’re still mad, despite winning, right? Because no one wins with this guy.
