GOP senators are eyeing an early end to their extended session

GOP senators are eyeing an early end to their extended session as leadership works to lock down deals on the few remaining agenda items. 

The Senate is currently scheduled to be in Washington through the end of next week, after Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) announced they would delay the summer break to try catch up on a backlog of nominations and legislation. 

But it now looks like the August recess just might start a little sooner.

Senators signaled on Wednesday they thought the Senate could wrap up its work on Thursday, allowing lawmakers to leave town a week earlier than currently scheduled.

“Yeah, I mean if things come together the way we hope they will on the [Food and Drug Administration] FDA bill then we could finish up tomorrow. It looks like things are tracking but we’re not there yet,” Sen. John Hoeven (R-N.D.) said as he left a closed-door caucus lunch, asked about a Thursday exit.

4. Do you like recess appointments?

I find the timing curious. Right after sanctions bill got signed, almost as if the Senate didn't want to give schmuck a chance for a pocket veto.

He signed it, and his reward is a chance to make recess appointments. Cowards. But they are GOP, si I repeat myself.

2. Not good.

This will give Humpty Trumpty more time to make recess appointments.
