BREAKING: Republican Senator Thom Tillis enrages MAGA world by announcing that he will block ALL of Trump’s appointments to the Federal Reserve in response to the sham investigation into Jerome Powell.

This just threw a monster wrench into Trump’s fascist plans…

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

“I will oppose the confirmation of any nominee for the Fed — including the upcoming Fed Chair vacancy — until this legal matter is fully resolved,” he added.

Since the Senate banking committee has 13 Republicans and 11 Democrats, Tillis choosing to defect will lock up the nomination process.

The bombshell announcement comes in the wake of a New York Times report over the weekend which revealed that the U.S. attorney’s office in D.C. under Jeanine Pirro is criminally investigating Powell in connection to the renovations to the Fed headquarters.

Of course, nobody outside of the MAGA cult believes that there’s any merit to the Justice Department’s “inquiry” into Powell. It’s nothing more than a naked attempt to punish the chair for refusing to lower interests rates.

Tillis’s countermove creates serious complications for Trump. While the president can’t fire Powell outright without cause, Powell’s term ends in May at which point Trump will get to appoint his successor. He’ll doubtlessly choose someone who will heed his every demand and lower rates, but without Tillis’s support that nomination will stall out.

This is the only way to respond to Trump’s escalating efforts to seize total power for himself. Confound him at every turn with every lever available to you.
