BETRAYAL IN THE SWAMP: Turncoat John Thune Sends Senate Home for 37 Days — But Schedules 11 Pro Forma Sessions to BLOCK Trump from Making Recess Appointments

Senator John Thune has scheduled the U.S. Senate for a 37-day vacation, including 11 “pro forma” sessions. These sham sessions involve a single senator gaveling in and out of the chamber with no legislative business conducted. The schedule is designed to prevent President Trump from making recess appointments, a tactic the article claims has been used against him by his own party.

• Senator John Thune is sending the Senate home for a 37-day vacation.
• Eleven “pro forma” sessions are scheduled during the break.
• These are described as fake sessions where no legislative business occurs.
• The schedule is intended to prevent President Trump from making recess appointments.
• The article characterizes this as a “procedural barricade” by a Republican-controlled Senate against a Republican president.
