It’s amazing how brave Thom has gotten since he let Trump dictate when he would retire from the Senate

You’re right about this, I have never agreed with you on anything before and probably won’t again.

Let me revise that for you Thom: “Anybody that’s advising the president, clearly had no experience.”

Tillis is pushing back against the monster he enabled, supported, benefited from, and celebrated. F…T…G

Trump's entire cabinet and White House staff have NO experience. A Republican Clown Car.

FEMA and NOAA - breaking those up is in project 2025, right? They knew! And if the didn’t read it that’s on them. It was pretty clearly written. I just double checked my summary on it ☺️😔

Oh this isn’t about professional credentials -this is about sociopathic evil being perpetrated by a group of kleptocracists who’s only goal is for money sex power -simplistic evil fools at scale

Senator Tillis you can expect your Blackmail and threats letter within a couple of days. Saying how dare you criticize your orange leader.

If only someone would say it directly to Trump. Oh well.

You can always count on Rethuglicans to display cruelty be it through negligence or purposeful

Get rid of fema. Let the states figure it out. Stop giving people services they are unwilling to pay for.

Project 2025 maybe?

Too little. Too late. Fuck you, Tillis.

“No experience” is the common denominator of his ghouls.

That’s for sure!

I am actually glad he is speaking the truth now. Maybe we should all be focusing on why it’s scary to speak up under Trump and do something to change it, instead of constantly being bitchy about it. Same with Murkowski - she told us she was scared and got nothing but grief for it.

Obviously. They only care about getting more money. But the cost of no relief will compound quickly.

He knows why they are destroying all of the social safety nets.

Interview with Tapper? No thanks

Because thugs don't want competent people, they want minions.

😢😢😢😢

Babbling Baboon Trump has NO IDEA who’s doing what in his cabinet because HE IS NOT THE COMMANDER IN CHEF! The swamp masters are telling the ministers what to do and when to do it and aren’t always keeping the monkey in the middle updated. Otherwise he would know WHO STOPPED UKRAINE SHIPMENTS!

Guess he's going out swinging.

Someone wanna tell this jerk off about project 2025?

No shit.

Tillis growing a spine in the 9th inning.

Would it make more sense if Putin was telling him to do it?

Trump is the problem Tillis.

It turns out, government does good and important things. (So Ronald Reagan was full of shit in saying that government is the enemy.)

Also Thom Tillis: “I retire”. Too late fruitcake.

Looks like Jake Tapper is just interviewing Republicans now.

Did Tillis get visited by three ghosts recently or what? 🤔

And that was true when Trump advocated getting rid of FEMA during the campaign. And yet Donald Trump was invited back after being in charge of a disaster response that killed hundreds of thousands of Americans.

Oh thank you for speaking up now that you are meaningless.

Sickening BS about who is "advising" Trump. Everything Trump does is solely what he wants to do. And what he wants to do is solely based on what he thinks will personally benefit/enrich himself the most. No one is to blame for Trump's immoral, corrupt and criminal actions other than Trump himself.

Why did you vote for her

They want to choose which States receive assistance. Red States: here's a bailout. Blue States: sorry, no FEMA (all funds transferred to ICE)

They care about wealthy rich ones & corporations.

In red states with no tax base, where is this $$ coming from? Sales taxes of 30%? Or may be a new income tax.

No one should be listening to Tom Tillis.... he's a cretin.

I doubt anyone recommended getting rid of FEMA to Trump. He came up with the idea to be able to punish and blackmail blue states himself. IMO.

Please stay and fight Tom Tillis!! Show Republicans the leadership they have been missing to stand up to Maga! You are needed now more than ever!!

He knew that doge cut fema didn’t bother him then. Lying sack of shit same with the bill he thought wasn’t good but voted for it. Fuck tillis

Even if he did, Trump is his own best adviser. "I am my own best adviser." -Donakd J. Trump back in the first Trump abomination

Boy he is really working hard to shift the narrative for his legacy, huh?

Look who just found his fucking voice.

The president cannot unilaterally abolish FEMA. It would require an act of Congress to repeal the laws that authorize FEMA. Even if a president wanted to “gut” FEMA, Congress controls the federal budget, so defunding FEMA would require congressional approval. He's a President, not a King!

Tillis better do more than yammer on to Yapper-Tapper. How about 25th Amendment? How many people need to die because of cuts to necessary services & care? How many communities need to suffer because the Fed gov is no longer stable & proving help? We pay taxes for a reason, not to help the rich.

Such a shame that Tillis waited until he’s leaving the Senate to grow a spine.

Tillis is shocked, just shocked, that his party would be making horrible policy decisions.

Really? No shit!

The key is HAS NO EXPERIENCE

And things are getting much worse, with what’s been discovered in DWBC, ocean currents reversing.

This Republican Party would clearly prefer to save dollars over lives.

How many lives were lost waiting for FEMA search and rescue operations to begin? www.cnn.com/2025/07/09/p...

FEMA is integral to state and local governments' efforts to develop emergency relief plans. They set guidelines and help communities plan. When an emergency happens they are crucial to coordination and to fill in where a community can not...

Or has no soul. That's another possibility.

Well, it’s nice to see Thom Tillis trying to grow back his balls, but it won’t happen. Although I must say, the Tillis ‘don’t give a f!ck’ remake is more amusing than the original.

Wrong. They don't care about disaster response or the victims. Experience or a lack of it are not considerations in this administration. It's all in group or out group.

Senator Tillis, you and your Maga party don’t have a pony in this race. You don’t give a shit who’s hurt. You don’t care so you have no input that is valuable.

Exactly. Only Congress can abolish or defund federal agencies. The POTUS cannot unilaterally abolish FEMA. It would require an act of Congress to repeal the laws that authorize FEMA. Even if a president wanted to “gut” FEMA, Congress controls the federal budget.

I like this guy lately 😂

Couldn’t he persuade father time grassley and McConnell to vote no? They are not running anymore

Clearly none of Trump’s cabinet has had any experience with much of anything. The republican clown show.

FEMA does not have experience!

That would be you Tom. With every ass kissing vote you tell him he has carte blanche to do what the fvck he wants.

Regimes could care less about disaster responses!

🤣

Anybody that advised Trump to get rid of FEMA has never lived near the Gulf, tornado alley, close to a fault line, in the woods, on a desert, near a river or in a sky scraper.

Stunning when a,Once Republican Party member ,now a MAGA folk....says something REAL !

Let me try and be as clear as possible. FUCK Thom Tills.

Thank God that flood was in Texas not real America

Let it all out… let yourself go.

Like, he certainly doesn't deserve full credit but he's been more willing to push back than most of the GOP for a while

Didn’t he vote for it?

Can you imagine goebels and Hitler giving an interview to the BBC like nothing.

Suck farts Tillis I never voted for your sycophantic arse. Too little too damn late.

He's the new Bob Corker!

maybe THOM you shouldnt have been such an asshole about net neutrality because that unleashed Musk and all this stupid horseshit. i told you so. literally. you brought this into being. *begrudging acknowledgement of recent actions. hissing the whole time*

100%

Erica Chenoweth provided an update and a clarification about the research finding known as the "3.5% rule." This is a free download: www.hks.harvard.edu/centers/carr...

I invite anyone in congress/the house to come over and ride out what its actually like waiting for a hurricane and go through it. That includes some people in my home state of Florida who are so out of touch, it shows they've forgotten or never been through that kind of disaster.

We are talking by the guy running FEMA, right? The unqualified anti-FEMA nut job appointed by Trump?

Funding for sirens, NWS early warning, and emergency management coordination for central Texas went to a Florida swamp concentration camp, turning detainees into alligator shit. Thanks republicans. Great job.

Whoopsie

It's Project 2025, and this is the point. To turn the US into a pile of ashes, where the 1% live happily ever after in their wealthy white enclaves, completely disconnected from what they've burned to the ground. They are not the people whose vacation homes are getting washed away by flash floods.

What? He approved all the cabinet positions. He didn't know they don't have any experience?

Amazing how this asshole finally starts telling the truth when he has no risk of losing an election. Of course this just means he’s known it all along and just hasn’t said anything for political convenience. Fuck him on the way out.

Maybe he should have considered this question before supporting the orangutan on acid.

Is it President Loomer whispering in his ear or Sec Noem flipping her extensions & demanding 1st dibs on denying desperate people what they have paid for in taxes or is Trump just senile and cruel

I wonder what lobby he'll work for?

I sense a blame shift to an ‘advisor’.

But if you don’t cut FEMA how are you going to give tax cuts to billionaires?

Hey, it doesn’t take away all his other pro-Shitler votes all the way.

Thom Tillis it is too late for your prayers, your were in a position to make a difference and you failed miserably, by sitting with your finger up you ass ignoring the oath you took. For the sake of all of us, resign in disgrace and go the hell away

Why didn’t you stand up before this, before you weren’t going to run again. You are still an accomplice.

They have blood on their hands

Nope. The people advising Trump to get rid of FEMA simply don’t care about the people who are affected, or think (incorrectly) that it’s an act of God. In their delusional self-righteousness, they don’t believe they will ever be affected. Russell Vought.

I’m guessing most of his Republican colleagues feel the same way, but they are too scared to stand up for what they know is right.

He finally grew a spine. Wonder what it could be..possibly an onslaught of messages reminding him of what he wanted his legacy to be, maybe. 🤭 Not sorry

Surely disaster response is, is the primary role for Federal governments?

That would be kristi noem

His balls must have grown back.

If they have no experience with disaster response, they’ve got something in common with the head of FEMA.
