      ONE republican senator with some integrity and concern about an authoritarian takeover. only ONE.

      Thillis is saying this:

      > “If there were any remaining doubt whether advisers within the Trump Administration are actively pushing to end the independence of the Federal Reserve, there should now be none,” Tillis wrote on X.

      > “It is now the independence and credibility of the Department of Justice that are in question.”

      Thillis is a pretty hard right GOP member. He’s growing a spine, at least.

      All because the US fed won’t lower interest rates, making a weak US dollar?  Trump’s really losing it.

      Recently, doctors have observed for the first time that when Republicans decide they aren’t running for office again, their brains start sending signals that reinforce the integrity of their spinal column.

      Thom Thillis is the newest example of this phenomenon.

      Thank you, Thom, after years and years of cowardice and corruption, on your way out the door, you’re growing a tiny spine.

      He should have blocked some of those nominees for the administration he knew they were all snakes

      I don’t think it takes a rocket scientist to see that they want control of everything

      Tillis finally growing a pair calling out Trump’s DOJ for trying to strong-arm the Fed, lmao

      Instead of fixing the problem by impeaching the threats to our democratic nation the senate decides to enable the administration and threaten to starve the Fed to obscurity just like the US did to the WTO. Fan-fucking tastic job legislators, you’re just letting them get away with destroying the country.

      So we found something they care about. Not healthcare, not homelessness, not criminal behavior by: Justice, Interior, Labor, HHS. Just their stock portfolios. Fuck those fucking fuckers.

      >The Federal Reserve operates as an independent entity within government meant to shield monetary policy from political interference. Central bank independence is considered essential by economists for maintaining economic stability and credibility.

      THIS. This is the most important part of the article, right here.

      This is also why Trump is going after Powell.

      We’ll see but fundamentally it isn’t enough to redeem any Republican as they have signed on to too many things. Total repudiation must be the first step

      If you want to know why Tillis now has a spine it’s because he’s not running for re-election in 2026.

      Does someone want to explain how the market is flat today? Trump essentially threatened the future stability of the US Dollar. Stocks should be tanking.

      They are investigating him for rennovations done to the fed building that were ordered by the Trump administration in his last term…

      I doubt they will even be able to get a grand jury indictment. Powell did nothing wrong.

      Maybe congress will finally step up and realize that they are a COEQUAL branch of government and not subservient to Trump.

      If the GOP has any breaks at all over this, it’ll be for the same reason they finally turned on Santos: “don’t fuck with the money” is their only Commandment.

    27. TomSelleckPI on

      I love watching a dysfunctional government do absolutely nothing to stop a medium-paced coup… Until the moment they start fucking with the global banking complex….

      Suddenly… *We must organize a fight against this tyranny!*

    28. Woody_CTA102 on

      Good to hear. Now find a few more with the guts to join Democrats to rein this MFer in.

    29. blackcain on

      Uh oh – Trump is gonna start ginning up his war against this guy too. The GOP party is dead, there is only Trump party.

      Tom Tillis under criminal investigation for wiping his boogers on the public school desk and lying to it about it to his teachers in 1st grade.

    31. TemetN on

      I’ll believe it when I see it, by which I mean when said nominations actually get blocked.

    32. StrengthDazzling8922 on

      Trump just going to sprinkle Tillis’s name in the Epstein files or invent a federal investigation to punish him.

    33. OnAnOpenFieldNed on

      in the last little while the most pushback, even as milquetoast as it may be, against the trump regime, is coming from his own party.

      why the fuck are the dems doing absolutely jack shit? are they just waiting to blame leftists again? fucking do something and demonstrate that you’re capable of governance and guiding the ship in the right direction.

      This is why dem approvals are in the gutter lmfao

    34. NeutralBias on

      Mm hmm. Trump can do whatever he wants, until he starts fucking with the money. Tillis was silent on everything UNTIL Trump made a move on the Fed.

      They ONLY care about money.

    35. Wide_Discipline_6233 on

      One senator! Doesn’t make a difference if others don’t follow suit.

    37. Staff_Guy on

      Jokes on you Senate, this admin does not care about your approval. Because you let them.

    38. T1gerAc3 on

      Don’t worry, everyone. He’ll fall in line and ram through any legislation or appointments Trump asks for.

    39. More_of_the-same-bs on

      Okay, honest question here:

      Did Hitler do something similar (to cause inflation and devalue the currency) during his buildup to total power in Germany?
