When the Senate completes its business on Aug. 8, to meet for pro forma sessions only at 10 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 10, 2026. 8 a.m. on Thursday, Aug. 13, 2026.

We need to turn our fire on Democrats, not on each other.

And I think at some point it becomes a decision of what can you get the votes to do.
