With the support of a group of Democratic colleagues, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is threatening to hold the Senate in session through the planned August as punishment to Republicans for their Alabama cousin Tommy Tuberville holding up promotions for senior military officers as a protest against a Pentagon medical travel policy, Newsweek reports.

It’s also meant to head off an effort led by Kentucky muppet Rand Paul and Ohio fraudster JD Vance blocking dozens of US ambassadors and foreign service staff.
