illis found so irritating he mentioned it on the Senate floor — is why. Why does a Republican senator fight so hard against legislation that 80% of Americans support? Gonzales pointed out that Tillis has received nearly $700,000 in donations from industries tied to cheap illegal labor. He walked away from the question. Then complained about it publicly the next day, which is about as close to a confirmation as you can get without actually answering.
This is the same Thom Tillis who nearly torpedoed Pete Hegseth’s confirmation. Who blocked Ed Martin’s full-time appointment as D.C. Attorney. Who has spent his lame-duck months reliably appearing on the wrong side of every fight that matters to the Republican base. A man who knows he’s not running again, has nothing to lose, and has apparently decided to spend his final months in the Senate making himself as useful to the opposition as possible.
The SAVE America Act requires proof of citizenship to register and photo ID to vote. China was paying journalists and targeting swing states to defeat a sitting American president. The connection between those two facts is not subtle.
The retiring Tillis wants to make sure the second fact can happen again. January 2027 cannot come fast enough
