#Trump targeted #Cornyn & #Tillis on social media Thurs, both are leaving the #Senate
“John Cornyn, of Texas, & Thom Tillis, of North Carolina, both of whom I refused to Endorse, & whose political careers have been ended by my action, are refusing to vote for this Great Nominee, who will remain, in any event,”as acting AG, Trump wrote, adding∶“I have no objection to temporarily withdrawing Todd’s name, if they do not do the right thing, & putting him back after Cornyn & Tillis are out of office”

#Cornyn responded with a post of his own, in which he said #Trump “is mistaken if he believes concerns about the provisions in his tax lawsuit settlement are limited to me & Senator #Tillis.” 
A refusal by the #Senate to confirm #ToddBlanche would be a notable political setback for Trump, marking a rare instance when the #GOP-led chamber blocked something he wanted. But even if Cornyn & Tillis’s concerns remain unaddressed, Blanche could remain “acting” AG for the foreseeable future. #law #DOJ

Trump can only afford to lose the support of four Republican senators in a vote for a new #Fed chair -- which means #Tillis and #Murkowski’s vows not to support any nominee until the case against Powell is resolved carry significant weight. A bipartisan group of economists who have served under US presidents dating back to Ronald Reagan —including former Federal Reserve Chairs Alan #Greenspan, Ben #Bernanke, and Janet #Yellin —released a joint statement on Monday denouncing what they described as an effort to strong-arm the Federal Reserve into doing the president’s bidding. https://www.commondreams.org/news/jerome-powell-investigation-backlash
