## Resource

Senator Mike Lee is threatening to block the Senate’s August recess unless key legislative demands are met, sparking backlash from his own party who call it a “total nonstarter.” Known for using procedural tactics to advance his conservative agenda, Lee’s move—coming just before the planned break—is drawing frustration as senators and staff brace for summer. While he’s vocal on social media, he’s not actively rallying support, leaving the showdown hanging in the balance as Washington braces for a potential showdown over the recess.
