Yes. It appears that Democrats have to stay on top of every move that these Cretins make, and then make long term take back plans just like the MAGAs did. Still, I am glad that I heard about HR 9495 and was able to get my congressman to vote NO, and sent info to everyone I knew asking them to do contact him as well, or their own congress person. Here is Public Notice discussing the recess rules in more detail.

My Dem congressman voted yes. I called his office and raised hell and made it clear that a lot of us would be working to primary him in 2026.

Thank you Linda! We all need to be getting together a list of who to get rid of in 2026. Good news is that they are still counting ballots in some places, and a recount is happening in Pennsylvania too.

I’m placing my bets on Trump just forcing a recess of both houses of Congress if their respective leaders do not do it on their own; & he actually can do that!!

I believe he wants to neuter Congress, humiliate them, make them irrelevant. That is what dictators, authoritarians do. He doesn’t want any of those extremely unqualified appointees to be subjected to live streamed confirmation hearings for the American people to see their behavior, & hear about all the skeletons in their backgrounds.
