And with that: my reporting is out of date.
Whereas Mullin previously kept a private candy stash in his desk, from which Cynthia Lummis snuck Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and other goodies, he has now usurped the public Candy Desk role from Todd Young.

The Senate Candy Desk is a 59-year Republican tradition — a stash of sweets maintained over the decades by whichever Senator has the (mis)fortune of being assigned to it.

I asked Rep. Kevin Hern (R-Okla.), chair of the Republican Study Committee and incoming chair of Republican Policy Committee, about Trump continuing to poach House members for his cabinet
Hern: “the president and the Speaker remain in contact with each other all the time… (1/5)

This would be a particular headache for Hern, who will lead House Republican legislative work as chair of the Republican Policy Committee.
Speaker Mike Johnson has also been open about his concern about the cabinet picks. (4/5)
Sen. Lummis (R-Wyo.) bumps into energy exec Chris Wright in the Russell basement. This is Trump’s nominee to lead the Department of Energy, and will likely be one of the less controversial confirmation fights.
Trump’s Defense Sec pick Pete Hegseth — embroiled in multiple allegations of sexual abuse — met with GOP Senators yesterday.
