#Republican Sen #ThomTillis (NC) said Tues he has told the #Trump WH he will oppose #EdMartin’s nomination to be the #USattorney for #DC, a potentially fatal blow to his already dicey confirmation chances.

Tillis spoke to reporters after meeting w/Martin on Monday night. Tillis, who is seeking reelection next year, previously signaled he had concerns w/Martin because of his comments related to the #Jan6 #insurrection & his work defending those who took part.

Continued thread

3 #Republican senators, #JohnCornyn of TX, #SusanCollins of ME & #ThomTillis of NC, who wrote a column in support of the #law 3 years ago did not return calls seeking comment.

…“What’s the point of being in #Congress & writing laws if the president can just ignore them? So, I’m angry that my Republican partners are not out there raising objections to what the president is doing,” Sen #ChrisMurphy said in an interview.

#US Republican Senator from North Carolina, #ThomTillis Tillis, has just returned from #Ukraine and has a message for the American people

Please listen to this message, it is from a US Republican who is with Trump on many things, but who will not stand for appeasing a dictator that has caused carnage.

Thom Tills - powerful and precisely accurate description of the threat we all face if we allow Putin to win the war.

It's becoming clear that Ukraine is one of the few issues that may cause a breach between some Capitol Hill Republicans and Trump. On the Senate floor, Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) called Putin "a cancer and the greatest threat to democracy in my lifetime".
Trump could lose any showdown with Congress on Ukraine.

#uspol Since the GOP loves guns so very much, would it be too much to ask of some of our nation’s journalists to inquire as to why they would be concerned about death threats? I’d think that a macho dude like #ThomTillis would be armed to the teeth and ready to be self-reliant when it came to self-defense, much the way he and his colleagues expect (checks notes) school children and teachers to be. 🤔

THEY'RE. SCARED. SHITLESS!

...

According to one source with direct knowledge of the events, #North #Carolina #Senator #ThomTillis told people that the #FBI warned him about “credible death threats” when he was considering voting against #PeteHegseth’s nomination for #DefenseSecretary. Tillis ultimately provided the crucial 50th vote to confirm the former #FoxAndFriends host to lead the #Pentagon.

Vanity Fair · “They’re Scared Shitless”: The Threat of Political Violence Informing Trump’s Grip on CongressBy Gabriel Sherman

Really?
They so worried about being primary’d…
But if this b*tch goes south?
“Poor white folk” won’t be turned away at the polls.

"[V]ery excited to see what happens when you make a deeply compromised #addict the leader of the dept of #defense & subordinate to a #madman."

"#ThomTillis is afraid #markrobinson is going to primary him. He knows #hegseth is unqualified & can't do the job. God d--- #coward ," wrote Dem strategist #mikenellis on Bluesky.

'Utter disgrace': 'Coward' Thom Tillis enrages internet with fate-sealing vote on Hegseth
Raw Story · 'Utter disgrace': 'Coward' Thom Tillis enrages internet with fate-sealing vote on Hegseth - NewsBreakBy Daniel Hampton

Just last week Senator #ThomTillis said it was an "absurd and unfair hypothetical" for anyone to ask #PamBondi whether the president of the united states would ever dream of pardoning people who violently attacked cops on #January6th.

wonder if would have been absurd to ask about someone who violently attacked cops in a Camp Auschwitz sweatshirt?
