Donald Trump kicked off his Thursday morning on Truth Social by demanding Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) do something to overcome Democrats holding up votes on presidential appointees who are languishing due to Senate blue slips.
The president fired off another missive on Thursday, complaining that the opposing party is hampering his ability to pack the courts and U.S. attorney offices with allies, calling the long-standing Senate prerogative a scam.
Complaining the current state of affairs is So unfair to Republicans, and not Constitutional, the president added, I am hereby asking Senate Majority Leader John Thune, a fantastic guy, to get something done, ideally the termination of Blue Slips. Too many GREAT REPUBLICANS are being, SENT PACKIN. None are getting approved!!! President DJT
