(AP Photo/Amanda Andrade-Rhoades, File) Ed Martin, the highly controversial Trump DOJ official, slammed Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) on Thursday after Politico published an article about Tillis’s ongoing threats to shoot down Trump appointees unless certain conditions are met. Tillis previously said he would not vote to confirm a new Fed chairman unless the Trump DOJ dropped its probe into current Chair Jerome Powell. Tillis won that battle and few days after insisted he would not approve a new attorney general if that nominee had excused the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol in past comments. Politico quoted Tillis in its article: “I’ll scrub it when a nominee comes forward, and I’ll apply the Martin standard,” Tillis said of any pick to succeed ousted Attorney General Pam Bondi. “By the way, I don’t think Martin is employed by the DOJ anymore, either, is he?” “Hey @SenThom Tillis: are you ok? Having memory issues for retirement? You called me on my cell phone recently to block a pardon for one of your constituents. Remember?” wrote Martin on X, sharing the quote. Trump withdrew Martin as his nominee for U.S. attorney after GOP Senators, including Tillis, made it clear he wouldn’t get confirmed. Martin was recently rehired to the Justice Department as a pardon attorney. Martin deleted his tweet, which was from his official DOJ account, but later posted again to his personal account. “Hey, @SenThomTillis: remember when you said Ashli Babbitt “deserved it”? In front of six witnesses, two of your staff. Deranged. Instead back to North Carolina, just go to Hell. Good riddance. #DrainTheSwamp. Btw, the TILLIS Standard: MAGA doesn’t forget losers!” Hey, @SenThomTillis: remember when you said Ashli Babbitt “deserved it”?

Good riddance. #DrainTheSwampBtw, the TILLIS Standard: MAGA doesn’t forget losers! https://t.co/lE0uuzu7Bl — Eagle Ed Martin (@EagleEdMartin) April 30, 2026 Tillis hit back at Martin, “Ed Martin is correct about one thing. The ‘constituent’ I opposed pardoning was Greg Lindberg, who was convicted of defrauding North Carolinians to the tune of billions of dollars and attempting to bribe public officials. Keep up the great work, Ed.” Ed Martin is correct about one thing. The “constituent” I opposed pardoning was Greg Lindberg, who was convicted of defrauding North Carolinians to the tune of billions of dollars and attempting… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago - CNN’s Harry Enten Finds Trump’s GOP Is Making ‘Generational Gains’ With ...
CNN data chief Harry Enten reported Thursday that President Donald Trump’s Republican Party is making gains with Black Americans, something not seen in a generation. Enten’s report comes in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision eroding the landmark 1965 Voting Rights Act that prohibited racial discrimination in voting. When a reporter told Trump about the decision, his response was, “I love it!” “I think what we’re seeing right now in the numbers is President Trump and the Republican Party are chipping away at the long-term advantage that Democrats have had with Black voters, with African Americans,” Enten said. “You can see it right here. Look, Trump’s approval among African Americans at this point in term one, he was at 12%. You know, he’s been losing ground with a lot of groups. He’s gaining — he’s gaining ground with African-Americans. He’s up to 16% at this point.” CNN’s Kate Bolduan asked, “Do you see this as part of a bigger trend?” “I see this as absolutely part of a bigger trend,” Enten said. “Donald Trump’s Republican Party is gaining ground, not just him gaining in terms of his approval rating.” Enten continued: But look at the party I.D. Margin, because this, to me, was absolutely stunning. Look at this party I.D. Margin among African Americans at this point in Trump Term number one, Democrats had a 63 point advantage. That is absolutely fallen. Look at where it is now, a double digit shift away. Democrats, of course, still have the advantage, but it’s a 12 point shift to the Republican party. And I looked back through Gallup’s records. They sent me their records, and this, in fact, lead that Democrats have is actually smaller than any lead from 2006 to 2021. So Democrats are leading. But again, we’re talking about chipping away. Republicans are chipping away at this long term advantage that Democrats have had among African Americans. We see it in terms of trump’s approval rating, and we even see it to a wider degree. Among the party I.D. Margin, where all of a sudden, there are a number of African Americans who are walking away from the Democratic Party and a number of them who are walking into the Republican tent. Enten added, “The Donald Trump-led Republican Party is making gains among African Americans that we, simply put, have not seen the Republican Party make in… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago - Trump Pentagon Chief Hegseth Lashes Out at Hearing in New ‘Pharisees’ Rant Trump Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth lashed out at Democrats in a new rant referencing his comparison of Trump opponents to the “Pharisees,” Biblical opponents of Jesus. At a recent Pentagon press briefing, Hegseth attacked what he called the “Trump-hating legacy press” by comparing them to the Bible villains who monitored Jesus to try and find a justification to arrest him. On Thursday, Hegseth testified at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on the Department of Defense budget request for Fiscal Year 2027, one day after a contentious hearing before the equivalent House committee. During one exchange, Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) confronted Hegseth over President Donald Trump’s assertion that “Ukraine is militarily defeated,” which some believe was a misspoken statement about Iran. But Hegseth instead went on the attack against “defeatist Democrats,” whom he added to the ranks of the modern Pharisees: SEN. RICHARD BLUMENTHAL (D-CT): Mr. Secretary, I know you have characterized this war as an astonishing military success, to use your words, yesterday. But the American People aren’t buying it. I know you feel the American people are seeing through abstruse stuff that is thrown at them. But one point is irrefutable, which is America never succeeds in war unless the American people are behind it. And if what you’re seeing as success now is winning, I would hate to see what losing looks like. Because none of the shifting and contradictory objectives of the war so far have been achieved. Likewise, let me ask you. Yesterday, the president said that Ukraine has been, quote, “militarily defeated.”. I assume you don’t agree with that assessment. SECRETARY OF DEFENSE PETE HEGSETH: The negative nature in which you characterize the incredible and historic effort in Iran is part of the reason, Senator, why the American people view it the way they do. It’s why I looked out at our press corps at the Pentagon and called them the Pharisees in the press. It’s because they look for every problem– (CROSSTALKING) SEN. RICHARD BLUMENTHAL (D-CT): Well, I’m asking you about Ukraine, do you believe Ukraine has been militarily defeated? SECRETARY OF DEFENSE PETE HEGSETH: You missed the plank–. SEN. RICHARD BLUMENTHAL (D-CT): I would submit, based on my nine trips to Ukraine, that is a false narrative that the president’s buying from Vladimir Putin–. SECRETARY OF DEFENSE PETE HEGSETH: We are two months into a historic military success in Iran,… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago
