No organizing resolution in the Senate yet

Could someone explain why we do not have an organizing resolution in the Senate yet?

Link to tweet

The Senate adjourns until Monday afternoon. Senate Majority Leader Schumer made no mention of any agreement with Republicans on the organizing resolution. So - GOP Senators are still in charge of committees at least into Monday.

Mitch McConnell clings onto power because the agreement made when he was majority leader remains until the new one replaces it.

Did you think he was going to play nice?

Schumer triumphantly announced an agreement days ago with huge fanfare on Rachel's show. Where is it? Where is the text of it? What have Republicans actually agreed to? Next Monday is *February*.

These are all reasonable questions.

Everything he does is for the detriment of the USA and his own personal benefit - every.single.thing.

an agreement a few days ago? I guess it hasn’t gone into effect yet.
