Republican Sen. Thom Tillis says he will not consider a nominee to replace ousted Fed Gov. Lisa Cook until the legality of Trump’s move to fire her has been determined in court.

Funny how their backbone shows up AFTER they announce their retirement.
Or just before...
Believe any of these scumbags at your own peril. They will go along without a fking doubt.
Amazing how all it takes for a Republican to grow a spine is to not have to answer to voters ever again.
In related news, Tillis locates his testicles.
= nothing
I'm sorry it took you announcing your retirement to stand up for what is right, but grateful that you are. Maybe some of the others who also announced retirement will find their spine too
Spoiler alert: the firing was not legal.
Surely that's the lowest of low bars.
Finally, a Republican finds his cojones.
Well he had to retire and go to the white house to get them out of Trumps pocket but yea its a small concession
Desperate to salvage his filthy (hands) reputation, but he’s too late.
OMG! Likely because he’s not running for reelection. But it still is nice to see that there might be a Republican remaining in the Senate. Most of them are nazi puppets - Trump sycophants.
Bull ur choice is like your self a trumpeter.
Wow
That’s … something.
#TRUMPSGOTTAGO
More bullship from Tillis Talk big vote little
🤧💨🐂💩…. I mean ooooohhh ok! 😒
He’s a liar 🙄
Wait...WTF is he doing? U can't follow protocol without inviting the wrath of the EMPEROR? Oh that's RIGHT ..he's not running again. So HIS F'IN BALLS HAVE REAPPEARED... NOW it makes sense...
Because his portfolio relies on it. If you are going to destroy the economy, best take your money out of stocks first.
Weak response! He could have stood up for the independence of the board.
Let me be as clear as I can about this, fuck Thom Tillis and his new found spine.
He's already said he's not running for reelection so at this point he has nothing to lose. It's a shame that's what it takes for these people to step and do the right thing. If he was running again, you wouldn't be hearing a peep from him.
Exactly this. And will Joni Ernst join in to challenge the worst excesses of Trump? Time will tell.
What is Lisa ‘s ethnicity again?!
Anybody with half a brain knows ALL of his firings and cuts are illegal..trump does nothing legally and everyone is to cowardly to stand up to him, except Gavin Newsome and Gov Pritzker.
Don't forget congresswoman Jasmine Crockett too. She's been standing up to Trump since she was elected as Congresswoman.
Love her, AOC, and Liz Warren. Crockett is sharp a a new razor..she's amazing
Don't forget Sarah McBride too
Yes! I am seeing this enraging tendancy to name men as solving problems right now but not women. Newsome is helpful right now, but is ok with limiting transitions to adults aged 25 or older??
I never saw anything anywhere about Newsome doing that
exactly. Transitions should be available from 16 or even 18. Puberty blockers for any age, however, since if you go off them, you'll start puberty like normal, instead.
Now the rest need to step up
Maybe they’re realizing TRUMP seems to be immune from consequences but they are not
This is starting to feel a little like some Republicans are growing spines...
We'll see. His spine might disappear one Truth Social post from now.
Helps he’s not running for reelection
Yup, then he'll get a phone call and do just what he intended anyway.
dang we got us a few Republicans who are (weird, I know) doing their job.
So...he's "Susan-Collins-concerned."
He’ll change his mind. Just watch 🙄
He'll cave to Trump. He always does. He's the weaker, slightly uglier version of Susan Collins. Always concerned but never enough to do anything about it.
He is useless and d add spineless and definitely afraid of his shadow. A pathetic human being!
Republicans are waking up to the truth Russia Russia Russia 🤮
repugnant trying to seem reasonable.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
If mortgage fraud isn’t enough to get you fired from a position like that that I don’t know what is.
If she is guilty of mortgage fraud (3 times over) and possibly other crimes, she should be fired. People have spent time in prison for less.
But it’s totally fine for a U.S.Senator, right?
Nope
Yes, she should be after it's proven; not on someone's hunch.
She's getting her due process now, as she deserves
Exactly.
A Republican human with sense?
WHAT A RIGHT THING TO DO @senategop.govpeeps.us @houseofreps.bsky.social LEADING BY EXAMPLE 👏👏👏🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 @thegrio.bsky.social @thehill.com
I like how Republicans are finally growing spines and actually standing up for what's right. They even stood up about the Epstein files and started helping the victims. Republicans are doing shit they're supposed to for once.
