President Trump has sent a message of support via Truth Social on behalf of Ed Martin to be confirmed as U.S. Attorney for the important Washington DC office. Multiple ‘republican’ members of the Senate do not support the nomination.
If the nomination is not successful by May 20th, there is a scenario where DC Judge James Boasberg could appoint the U.S. attorney. Mary McCord is smiling.
PRESIDENT TRUMP – “Ed Martin is going through the approval process to be U.S. Attorney in the District of Columbia. According to many but, in particular, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., his approval is IMPERATIVE in terms of doing all that has to be done to SAVE LIVES and to, MAKE AMERICA HEALTHY AGAIN. This is a passion for Ed, more so than for almost anyone that I have seen. One of the reasons that I was so successful in winning the 2024 Presidential Election is my commitment to Health, and helping to Make America Healthy. The Cost of the Chronic Disease Epidemic has gotten out of control over the past four years of the Biden Presidency. We are going to take our Country BACK, and FAST. Ed Martin will be a big player in doing so and, I hope, that the Republican Senators will make a commitment to his approval, which is now before them. Ed is coming up on the deadline for Voting and, if approved, HE WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN. When some day in the future you look back at your Vote for Ed Martin, you will be very proud of what you have done for America and America’s Health. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
The Republican opposition group to Ed Martin is the traditional element of the party who stand against the basic principles of what the MAGA movement is all about.
Via CNN – […] Trump and his allies have a short window to get Martin over the finish line. If Republicans don’t confirm him by May 20 when his interim position expires, there would be a new process to play out in picking a new nominee.
One option could be US District Judge James Boasberg appointing someone to become DC’s top prosecutor. Boasberg, a Barack Obama appointee, has presided over a number of high-profile cases challenging Trump policies, drawing the ire of the president and his allies.
After this story published on Monday evening, Trump posted about Martin’s confirmation battle on Truth Social writing that his “approval is IMPERATIVE.”
Top Justice Department officials, who had preferred another candidate for the job, have had to caution Martin about some of his public activities since taking on the job on an interim basis, sources briefed on the matter told CNN.
Despite growing blowback on the nomination, allies of Trump and Martin have made clear that the president has so far been thrilled with Martin’s job performance.
“Martin is President Trump’s favorite US Attorney,” one source familiar with his nomination process previously told CNN. .
On top of Trump’s direct calls to GOP senators, 23 Republican state attorneys general sent a letter to Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley and Senate Majority Leader John Thune on Monday urging them to move forward on Martin’s confirmation, according to a copy shared with CNN. Trump ally Charlie Kirk also posted on X over the weekend about the need to successfully confirm Martin.
DOJ officials who may have wanted someone else for the job have come to terms with the fact that he is Trump’s pick and are doing everything they can to help get him confirmed, sources briefed on the matter told CNN.
Martin has successfully implemented Trump’s “law and order agenda” and been a “fantastic U.S. Attorney for D.C.,” said Alex Pfeiffer, White House principal deputy communications director. “The White House looks forward to his continued success in the role. Ed has shown he is the right man for the job.”
Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee are expected to keep Trump’s nominee on track, despite diminishing odds Martin will advance to see a full Senate vote. (read more)
Let us not pretend amongst ourselves….
In basic truth, both the democrats and republicans lost in the 2024 election. Donald Trump defeated the republican candidate, Ron DeSantis, and Donald Trump defeated the democrat candidate, Kamala Harris.
As the second term of President Trump continues, the republican party will show increasingly obvious opposition to all of the policies and results coming from the MAGA agenda. In the background of our political dynamic the Republican apparatus is already having conversations about what comes next, after the MAGA infection identified as President Trump is removed.
When we ask ourselves why President Trump’s agenda hasn’t been codified by congressional action, the honest answer is, because the MAGA policy is not supported by the Republicans in congress. Nothing about this dynamic is likely to change. The republican resistance is simply wearing a mask right now, and there are certain times when that mask slips.
It has always been thus….
Well, they need a backup plan. Recess appointment? If not, get another SOB in there and appoint Eagle Ed as a SP to investigate everything J6, the DOJ, FBI, Judges, and sham trials. Be careful what you wish for, RINOs. Also, all RNC money should be shut off to the RINOs. They can fundraise on their obstruction of the President.
Yes PT could appoint Martin Special Council as a big FU.
Yes!!! That also gets around Bondi and Patel, which is clearly needed.
And nominate Matt Gaetz as AUSA.
Mess with the bull, get the horns.
Matt was one of my heroes, but he is damaged goods, and would never get past the MSM assault. The Senate investigation would be front and center in the press till either Trump, or Matt gave up again.
That would be checkmate.
Just called Tillis and told him I will never vote for him again if he does not support Martin. I told him he only wins because he gets Dem votes because of this type of action. He never once attended a Trump rally in NC, he supports sending billion of money to Ukraine, he does not support me or Trump. I will never vote for him again.
Just emailed him. Can’t stand the man., nor Chuck Edwards, my Rep.
Edwards is ok…he is a RINO and not very smart but he has worked really hard to get the money flowing here for Helene recovery. I give him credit for that.
I called Tillis too and managed to remain polite.
Is he the only one to call? I had heard something about Collins as well. I’m stuck inside in endless rain this week and will call anyone for this!
Did you actually get someone to answer the phone. I called him yesterday and today…only got a recording
Cassidy out of Louisiana has said he won’t support either.
I also posted on his Twitter and Facebook page. EVIL ‘man’!
He is evil just like Pence…the two phony Christians.
Tillis did attend a Trump rally in NC. It was before or during his first term and it was in Fayetteville. I was there. I only remember because I was shocked Trump had him there. He was a backstabber then too.
I just called Tillis as well. Not my Senator but he is making decisions that affect me. He has always been a rotating member of the McConnell Club and the corrupt Senate. He needs to know we know he has become a sold out/ gangrene/ soulless version of who he may have once been. We see him and his corrupt cronies and we have had enough. We elected Trump to fulfill the wishes of the American people. Tillis needs to get right with that.
Will it change anything? If enough people call him and call him out, it might. If you do nothing, nothing changes. They need to feel the heat. They need to worry that the American people finally know who they are and we have had enough.
I just wanted to thank all of you that contacted Tillis.
I find it shocking that he said he would approve him for any location other than DC. That is so telling. Tillis is worse than a RINO, he’s a never MAGA.
Ditto. Tillis is a POS.
I am not from NC but, I still contacted Gillis via his website and urged him the vote for Martin. If he and others conspire against Martin and refuse to confirm him the entire GOP will have a black eye in my opinion. Judicial over reach by radical left judges will increase and that will dramatically affect the implementation of President Trump’s agenda. Do the right thing we are watching.
Tillis not Gillis. I hate autocorrect. Wish I knew how to disable it on my fire tablet.
Is this accurate?
“PRO-TIP: Before the 120 days clock expires Ed Martin could withdraw his name for consideration and Trump could appoint a new nominee and the 120 day clock would restart. The only way Judge Boasberg could appoint someone would be if the 120 days expired. Then the new appointee could withdraw his name and then Martin could be reappointed restarting the clock yet again.”

I love this – and all the more so because it would enrage Boasberg
Ooooh – that’s very fine.
Always worth remembering that the Almighty is in charge and solutions are there if sought…
I just donated to Don Brown, Thom Tillis’ opponent in the 2026 primary. Here’s Brown’s website:
https://brownfornc.com/
Thanks for the heads-up. Will be supporting Brown.
Thank you. I would never vote for him again.
Oh there is someone ? I will work for him…where does he live? Now Trump has to endorse him.
His headquarters is in Charlotte. I don’t know where he lives.
I am from WI, I donated anyway.
Tired of establishment republican’ts all over the US & donate to many of their primary opponents.
Don Brown is an author — but is not Dan Brown author of the DaVinci code.
THANK YOU!!
What’s sad is how so many Normie GOP voters don’t want to face the fact that there’s no difference between the two parties.
If you tell them that the Republican Establishment would like nothing more than for the Democrats to
win the midterms, they refuse to believe it.
They are committed to rooting for their team, like color war at sleepaway camp
Truth is hard to swallow, it’s easier to live in their comfort zone than admit they know this.
Well, what are they to do? Vote Democrat?
In Colorado, I think Republicans know this about the Republican Establishment. But a lot of people don’t realize WHO is establishment. “But _____ said such good things about the border! But they supported parental rights! But they are known for 2A rights!” And most people don’t have time to see how these people are really voting, and big money gets establishment names out there in “conservative” media. The establishment is now calling themselves grassroots, and claiming they loved Trump all along even though last year they were doing everything they could to trash him, and calling us conspiracy theorists.
I emailed Tillis. I am not in his state, but what a stupid thing for him to block this. These people really don’t care. Sad. I hope the backlash is a tidal wave to wash the RINOs out in 2026. I don’t have any money but someone other than Tillis is getting $20 from me.
The scam is two or more other candidates running for the nomination. This dilutes the opposition to the incumbent from true opposition. The scam candidate has everything paid for of course and finds lucrative employment elsewhere.
That can be fixed.
All it will take is a PDJT endorsement.
Yes, that’s what i was thinking. In NC the GOP always find a Baptist “Minister” to run against Tillis and a very good conservative candidate. I always wondered how much the ‘Minister” was paid to do this…but, if Trump endorsed the real conservative candidate all the church goers would vote for that candidate I do believe because they are all Trump supporters.
I read somewhere that Dan Bishop may run against him. We sure need Dan back in Congress.
The Republicans depend on election rigging and fraud just as much as the Dems. We must be successful in getting this straight. Supposedly Blondi is investigating the steal. Aside from this , it all boils down to a donor problem. Tillis uses J6 as an excuse or he is dumb as a rock maybe both. Congress is not moving forward on J6 investigation so Blondi needs to do this as well. I think she will be gone soon.
I hope she is gone soon!
Mary McCord! A cold shiver just went down my back. Or any other Boasburg appointee.. Can. Not. Happen.
We need a SP if Trump even hopes to prosecute half the criminals in both parties during Biden’s criminal reign!! Trump should use that as leverage with the RINOs. Pretty sure those jagoffs have plenty of skeletons!
Senator Thom Tillis Announces He OPPOSES Ed Martin, Trump’s Nominee For US Attorney in DC, Due to J6 “Concerns” – Is Willing to Let Crooked, Trump-Hating Judge Boasberg Make the Pick Instead!
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/05/breaking-senator-thom-tillis-announces-he-opposes-ed/ Hopefully Stephen Miller or someone can come up with something to force him not to derail this nomination. Although given the complete lack of anything substantive from Bondi or Patel, Ed Martin’s confirmation might simply lead to more frustration

JUST IN: Sen Cornyn Supports Confirming Ed Martin For DC US Attorney After Tillis Makes SHOCKING Admission to Reporters (VIDEO)
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/05/sen-cornyn-supports-confirming-ed-martin-dc-us
Just guessing….but isn’t cornball up for election soon? I’m betting Tom is not. Cornball needs conservative support, Tillis does not. See how that works. Once again the repugs give us the high fast one.
Tillis term ends in 2026, and if we get out the vote, he will be retired permanently.
Since Tillis effectively tanked Martin’s nomination… he is up for re-election & NC should can his ass.
PDJT should nominate Matt Gaetz next.
Mess with the bull, get the horns.
How is he doing so far ? Has he prosecuted anyone ?
term limits executive order
Looks like nominee is dead.dont know the answer,but can Trump move someone in that role thats already been comfirmed. Grenell, Bondi JD.
TILLIS VOTED YES ON:
BLINKEN
GARLAND
YELLEN
GRAVES
GINA RAIMONDO…and many more
The handful of MAGA who are complaining about Trump are completely full of crap when they are ignoring the utter failure of Congress. Trump cannot do this on his own. The GOP are useless and instead of ramming bills through Congress and down the throats of the Dems, they just sit there with their thumbs up their rears.

CALL ANY OR ALL OF TILLIS’S OFFICES TO LEAVE MESSAGE!!
https://x.com/MikeBenzCyber/status/1919831446950179284
@MikeBenzCyber People are not appreciating the magnitude of the Ed Martin situation. The prosecutor is on top of the FBI. He runs all DC criminal investigations. He is the choke point for DC’s worst secrets. If Ed Martin is blocked, and Boasberg picks, Trump 2.0’s momentum is totally paralyzed.

@HansMahncke This is just appalling. Senate Republicans are dragging their feet on Ed Martin’s confirmation, while his predecessor, the disastrous Matthew Graves—who turned the U.S. Attorney’s Office in D.C. into a full-blown J6 grandma-hunting operation—was unanimously advanced out of committee and then breezed through confirmation.
https://x.com/libsoftiktok/status/1919791630409699400
@libsoftiktok Senator Thom Tillis (R) voted to confirm Biden’s AG Merrick Garland who targeted Conservatives but is refusing to confirm Trump’s pick Ed Martin for US Attorney.
It’s like 2016 all over again. The republicans in the house and senate twiddle their thumbs while he faces the onslaught of DC lawfare and the instigating media propagandist.
GOPe RINOs masquerading as Republicans need to fear the backlash of their constituents!

Has @SenThomTillis
apologized for promoting the lie that Brian Sicknick was killed by the Trump “mob” on January 6?

Jack Cashill has written a lot lately on J6:
https://jackcashill.substack.com/archive?sort=new
Tom Tillis is a rat.
My recommendation to North Carolina conservatives is to CALL YOUR STATE GOP. Put the heat on them. Tillis could give two hoots about people flood-calling his office BUT putting pressure on the North Carolina GOP will get his attention. That is how we got rid of Bob Corker in Tennessee.
There number is – 919-828-6423
Tell them specifically that you want Tillis primaried vs ONE genuine conservative candidate. A person with a legitimate chance to win, no skeletons. This person should not be hard to find and support and that is your expectation of the GOP.
I also recommend the rest of us contact our Senators, whether we live in North Carolina or not. If they are Republican, let them know that people like Tom Tillis make it very difficult to give time and resources to the Republican Party. This affects other Republicans and voters. They need to encourage people like Tillis to get out of the party, part ways and leave the United States alone. We know there is a floating group of moles that will latch onto any lame media report floated to provide cover for a bought off politician to vote in such a way as to benefit the Swamp. Tillis is such a ‘man’ and he just needs to ride off into the sunset and leave America and Americans alone. We don’t need his “service”.
Is this the same man who was affiliated with Phyllis Schlafly?
This says Tom Tillis is a no go for Martin.
Trump pick for Washington, DC, prosecutor won’t get Senate vote before deadline, source says

It ain’t just the RINOs Trump is up against! I just did a DuckDuckGo search using “Ed Martin odds of confirmation,” and these were the page one news sources I was given:
CNN
NBC 4 Washington
Bloomberg News
USA Today
NBC News
CBS News
deepnewz.com
The Wall Street Journal
The Washington Post (twice)
ALL of the sources given me to report on the Ed Martin nomination are notoriously liberal, (except possibly deepnewz, who I’ve never heard of), and NONE of the highly read conservative blogs are listed.
President Trump’s Truth/Social posts are too often a lone voice shouting in the wilderness because American citizens are relentlessly being spoon-fed globalist, (ie Paramount, Universal, Disney), propaganda! That is a a HUGE part of the problem and one that the FTC needs to rectify (with lawsuits, fines, revoking broadcasting licenses…whatever it takes), if we are ever to wrest America away from the oligarchs!
“The Republican opposition group to Ed Martin is the traditional element of the party who stand against the basic principles of what the MAGA movement is all about.”
And there are a lot of them, hiding in the weeds. Every Congressman should come out on record with support of MAGA or they should lose their committee assignment and scheduled to be primaried. It time to declare loyalties.
Maybe it’s time for them to get the message that if they don’t support Trump they will pay dearly.
Is Tillis being paid off in a big way or promised something that he can’t refuse in return for his no vote? I’m sure he knows he will be primaried if he sabotages Trump’s pick.
Sundance, please name names besides the RINO Tillis
