Tillis was never going to block this awful nomination. He has voted for every idiot Trump selected, even the ones like Noem that he later suddenly discovered were as blazingly unqualified as they were the day he voted to confirm them. He should be ashamed of himself.
Tillis said Blanche had to meet with Epstein survivors. The survivors said he was condescending, rude & constantly interrupted them. They said he was just checking a box. Tillis wants slush fund order modified & IRS settlement gone. Blanche creates a sham order. Tillis wants performative nonsense.
This is Susan Collins level of shenanigans, folks.

The Halfway Post@halfwaypost.bsky.social · 3d agoBREAKING: A reporter asked Mike Johnson at a press conference today, “Should we bother asking you any questions about Max Miller, Trump’s latest Iran deal, or his Capital One scandal, or have you not heard about any of them yet?"
It was always quite insane to me to think that we were just going to 'do manufacturing in America' without setting up the infrastructure first. But then again, I never bankrupted a casino either. 🎁
