Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) and pardon attorney Ed Martin traded personal insults Thursday on social media, a remarkably public feud between a sitting Republican senator and member of the administration. Tuesday’s sparring comes after Tillis, who helped sink Martin’s nomination to be U.S. attorney in Washington and is leaving the Senate at the end of his term next January, incorrectly asserted in a POLITICO interview Thursday that Martin was no longer employed by the Justice Department. Martin responded in a now-deleted post on X: “Hey @SenThomTillis: are you ok? Having memory issues for retirement? You called me on my cellphone…

On Wednesday’s broadcast of the Fox Business Network’s “Kudlow,” Sen. Tim Sheehy (R-MT) said that if the radical elements of the Iranian regime aren’t removed, “the end result will be even worse than it is now.” Sheehy said, “[M]ost importantly, what we’ve got to do here is finish the job. If we stop now, if we stop early, and allow the radical elements of the regime to remain in place, the end result will be even worse than it is now.
