    The Hill ^ | 10/31/2023 | SARAH FORTINSKY
    Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) on Tuesday said he had tested positive for COVID-19 and would miss votes this week in the Senate. His office confirmed to The Hill he plans to return to Washington next week. Tillis, who had planned to host a Halloween “dog parade” on Tuesday, said he no longer would be able to attend but suggested Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) could take his place. “Unfortunately I have COVID and won’t be able to kick off today’s Bipawtisan Howl-o-ween Dog Parade. But believe me, it will all work out. I know the perfect person for the job…,” Tillis...
  • Republicans on Judiciary Committee Playing Hardball Over Replacing an Absent Dianne Feinstein

    The continued — an increasingly curious — absence of Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) from her duties in the upper chamber of Congress is becoming a growing thorn in the sides of the Democrats. Feinstein is a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and her prolonged recovery from shingles has ground to a halt the Democrats’ ability to further pollute the judicial system with activist judges who have been nominated by Joe Biden’s puppeteers. Over the weekend, Matt wrote a VIP column about Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) asserting that the Republicans on the committee not let Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer...

    Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) promoted Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) to Republican leadership as the North Carolina senator has continued to strike deals with Democrats. The Washington Post wrote a glowing piece on Tillis’s newfound status as a bipartisan dealmaker. Republicans and Democrats across the Senate praised his ability to strike compromises to pass legislation that would advance President Joe Biden’s priorities.
  • Biden ‘Encouraged’ by Tillis-Sinema Amnesty, Foreign Worker Expansion

    President Joe Biden is “encouraged” by a lame duck proposal from Sens. Thom Tillis (R-NC) and Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) that gives amnesty to millions of illegal aliens and expands the number of foreign workers in the United States labor market. As Breitbart News reported, Tillis and Sinema have proposed a plan that would give amnesty to at least two million illegal aliens — those enrolled and eligible for former President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) — and bring hundreds of thousands more foreign workers into the labor market via changes to employment-based green cards.

    The Federalist, ^ | 12/7/2022 | Shawn Fleetwood
    After surrendering to Democrats on a myriad of hot-button issues, Senate Republicans may get yet another chance to sell out their base before the year’s end — this time, on a last-minute immigration bill reportedly engineered by North Carolina GOP Sen. Thom Tillis that would provide amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants. According to reporting from melodramatic Washington Post columnist Greg Sargent, Tillis and Arizona Democrat Sen. Kyrsten Sinema are pressing for the upper chamber to consider their bipartisan “immigration reform” bill before Congress’s current lame-duck session ends later this month. While the legislation would apparently provide more funding for...

    A plan being negotiated by Sens. Thom Tillis (R-NC) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) would give amnesty to about two million illegal aliens enrolled in and eligible for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, a new report suggests. According to the Washington Post, Tillis and Sinema are negotiating a DACA amnesty plan that would provide green cards — and eventually naturalized American citizenship — to about two million illegal aliens. n addition, the Tillis-Sinema plan would build processing centers along the United States-Mexico border to more quickly send border crossers and illegal aliens into the U.S. interior, while keeping...

    Newsweek ^ | 4/29/22 | JASON LEMON
    Representative Madison Cawthorn, a North Carolina Republican, appears to be losing substantial support from GOP voters while still maintaining a lead over his chief primary challenger, new polling shows. Cawthorn, who has been endorsed by former President Donald Trump, faces opposition from Republican leaders in his state, including North Carolina's GOP Senator Thom Tillis. The Republican lawmaker has endured numerous scandals in recent weeks, with the number ramping up rapidly as opponents could be spreading dirt on the Trump-backed freshman incumbent in an effort to oust him from office. While the scandals appear to have had an impact, according to...

    Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) Wednesday called for an investigation by the House Ethics Committee into Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.) over allegations that Cawthorn violated federal insider trading laws. “Insider trading by a member of Congress is a serious betrayal of their oath, and Congressman Cawthorn owes North Carolinians an explanation. There needs to be a thorough and bipartisan inquiry into the matter by the House Ethics Committee,” Tillis tweeted on Wednesday.

    As federal agencies prepare for a “mass migration event” at the United States-Mexico border due to President Joe Biden’s ending Title 42 on May 23, Sens. Thom Tillis (R-NC) and Dick Durbin (D-IL) are setting their sights on amnesty for illegal aliens. Last week, Biden officials announced that the administration would end the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Title 42 authority that has allowed U.S. Border Patrol to quickly return illegal aliens to their native countries over the last two years.

    Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) announced on Thursday that he will endorse state Sen. Chuck Edwards (R) in his primary challenge against Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.), as the freshman congressman faces blowback from within his own party over recent comments he made. Tillis in a statement criticized Cawthorn, a 26-year-old freshman lawmaker, and said that Edwards is “the best choice” to lead the Tar Heel State’s 11th Congressional District.

    ImmigrationReform.com ^ | 7/9/2021 | RJ Hauman
    As the Biden Border Crisis continues with no end in sight, Senate Democrats are working around the clock to inject amnesty into a massive spending bill they are selling as an “infrastructure package.” The bill is slated is to be advanced through the little-known budget reconciliation process, which allows the party in power to pass legislation related to the budget with only a simple majority, bypassing the traditional 60 vote threshold. However, the budget reconciliation process has complex requirements, and it is not certain that the Senate parliamentarian would agree to including amnesty. The amnesty push accelerated when Senate Budget...

    n the opening days of the Biden presidency, the administration issued an array of executive actions, including a 100-day moratorium on deportations for illegal aliens. Led by Senators Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Thom Tillis (R-NC), Republican lawmakers took note of the order, which holds no exception for violent criminals who are also in the country illegally. The pair wrote to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Acting Director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Tae Johnson, pointing out that the memorandum “constitutes a wholescale abandonment of law enforcement,” as well as the “will of Congress.” They note...

    Fox News anchor Bill Hemmer pressed Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) Tuesday over the Trump campaign’s claims of widespread voter fraud in the presidential election. Hemmer said, “Senator, I don’t know if you were with us a few moments ago, but Matt Schlapp just came back from Clark County that’s Las Vegas, Nevada. He’s arguing that there are thousands and thousands of illegal votes cast. Well, that may or may not be the case, but so far, we haven’t seen any evidence of that. At what moment do you say put up or shut up?”

    As I wrote last week, embattled Senate nominee Cal Cunningham has been getting brutalized by the North Carolina political media down the homestretch of his Senate campaign, something you rarely see happen to Democrats here in NC. Here we are a week later, and things haven’t gotten any better on that front for the married father of two who back in September looked like he might have a lock on the race against his Republican opponent Sen. Thom Tillis. In fact, they’ve gotten worse when you watch what reporters have to say about their continued attempts to contact him in...

    RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) - With one week until the election, polling shows North Carolina’s closely watched Senate race tightening. In early October, the RealClearPolitics average of polling in the race showed Democrat Cal Cunningham leading incumbent Sen. Thom Tillis (R) by five to six percentage points. That’s dropped to 1.8 points on average in the final days of the campaign. “There has been an erosion in Cunningham’s numbers,” said Dr. Andrew Taylor, political analyst at N.C. State University. “It’s hard to attribute it to much other than the scandal surrounding Cunningham.” Control of the U.S. Senate could hinge on which...

    New York Magazine ^ | October 2020 | Ben Jacobs
    Less than two weeks ago, Democrat Cal Cunningham was the front-runner in the Senate race in North Carolina. A former state senator, a current lieutenant colonel in the Army Reserves, and an elder in the Presbyterian Church, the Democrat had been running a belligerently bland campaign against first-term Republican incumbent Thom Tillis. Cunningham filled the airwaves with gauzy television ads and consistently led in polls. Then his sexts were leaked to a right-wing website.
