About Trump's claim that he'll adjourn Congress to get what he wants, let's be clear: In order to do so, McConnell would have to bring the Senate back & have them vote to adjourn. Pelosi would then bring the House back & they'd have to amend the Senate’s adjournment resolution
2-by voting against it. Then the Senate would have to disagree to the House’s amendment. Then, & ONLY then can Trump adjourn Congress. The odds are remarkably slim. Pelosi can essentially ignore the resolution from the Senate, killing the disagreement Trump needs to adjourn
3-unilaterally. Some GOP say it’s privileged, and thereby gets immediate consideration, but no-Pelosi can turn off the privilege in a rule with a simple majority vote and then she doesn’t have to touch it.
No disagreement, no adjournment from Trump.

4-IF Trump were to directly force adjournment-clause 12(c) of Rule 1 under House Rules (added after 9/11) allows Pelosi to bring the House back immediately-seconds after he adjourns, leaving him NO time to recess-appoint anyone. So, it's all distraction, kids. #ThursdayThoughts
5-82 of the McConnell/Trump Judges are pending, many of whom are stuck in Committee approval process, which means that it's the GOP who have issues with them, not Dems.
If Congress returns, it should be to break the GOP stonewalling on the next Phase of the relief bill. Period.
