With the Senate out of session until Aug. 15, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s, R-Ky., plan to keep the chamber working through the entire month has instead been reduced to 2.5 weeks. But that hasn’t stopped senators from complaining about it.

Members of the so-called “coalition of the cranky” unloaded their grievances to the Washington Post’s Paul Kane over the weekend, griping that the loss of an August recess meant lost opportunities with constituents, canceled vacations, and, in the words of Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., no time “to decompress.”
