A reminder of the status of the Hegseth impeachment resolution:
Massie gave notice of his intent to offer his resolution on 15 September. Under rule IX, the speaker was required to designate a time for consideration of the resolution before the end of 17 September.

If Jeffries offered the resolution himself, then it would have to be considered immediately (rather than at a time designated by the speaker within two legislative days). That would preempt the kind of chicanery we saw when Massie first tried to offer his resolution in September.View quoted post on X

One indication of how a Democratic Senate might treat Trump’s nominations:
Only 15 of Trump’s second-term nominations have been confirmed by UC or voice vote,* compared to 666 of Biden’s nominations and 801 of Trump’s first-term nominations (not counting military promotions).

Re confirming nominations in the lame-duck session:
A very long read, but 100% worth it ⬇️
TL;DR:
1. A determined minority can make life hell for the majority.
2. A determined majority can do anything it wants.
