Cruz on the Senate GOP - Blanche meeting:
"Fireworks at an epic level"
"One of the roughest meetings I've seen in my entire time in the senate"
"Fiery does not begin to cut it. ...They were screaming at the acting attorney general"
Estimates that roughly 20 Republicans would have voted for Dem amendments related to the "anti-weaponization" fund during vote-a-rama
“I think if the judgment fund had not been announced this week, we would be right now on the Senate floor. We would be funding border security"

Sen. Tillis responds to President Trump's criticism this morning.
"If opposing these things makes me a RINO, then I gladly accept that nickname." #ncpol
Senator Thom Tillis@SenThomTillis
Mr. President, completely agree about having a lot of fun over these next seven months. But nitpicking? Some of your advisors are telling you to support things like: - Using billions of taxpayer dollars to compensate convicted felons and thugs who attacked police. (Ed Martin) - Pushing 50-year mortgages and Elizabeth Warren's housing bill over sound conservative housing policy. (Bill Pulte) - Using taxpayer money to transform publicly traded companies into state-owned enterprises. (Howard Lutnick) - Firing our very best generals and not holding Putin accountable for his systematic kidnapping, rape, torture, and murder of Ukrainian civilians. (Pete Hegseth) If opposing these things makes me a RINO, then I gladly accept that nickname. We need Republicans to do well in November, but the stupid stuff is killing our chances!

Tillis is by no means the only Republican with concerns over the DOJ fund.
The Senate was sent home today after they were unable to meet their self-imposed deadline for passing a bill to fund ICE and CBP -- one reason it was derailed was the $1.8 billion fund.

Is Pete Hegseth the right person to be leading the Pentagon?
Tillis: "I don't think so...Pete Hegseth has demonstrated to me he doesn't have the competence to run a large complex organization."

Tillis: "When you’re having an affordability problem ...and you have somebody that is a billionaire saying he doesn’t worry about what people are dealing with... it’s not very wise.”
Tillis was critical of Trump's recent comment, "I don't care about Americans' financial situation" when pushing for a Iran deal.

He wouldn't get into "hypotheticals" but it doesn't sound like it.

@cmonnnnmannnn Hi Mos, yes, I'm working to get up the full interview. Should be up this evening or tomorrow morning.

@ReubenJones1 Senator Tillis is right, though I don’t think it’s a bad message to send even if performative. Congress deserves a rationale from the Executive. Is there a link to the full exchange?
