Well, I actually managed to make contact with a human at Tillis’s office and I asked what the Senator is doing about Trump denying the Supreme Court on the matter of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the guy deported to El Salvador by mistake.

The guy said it’s an Executive vs. Judicial branch matter and the Senator couldn’t do anything about it. In the middle of me saying I didn’t believe that was possible, he switched over to “hello? hello? I can’t hear you.” and then HUNG UP ON ME.

I get that it’s probably some new intern stuck answering phones but WOW his skills were minimal. For some very low definition of “minimal”. I’ll be interested to learn whether the interns’ people skills improve over time.

(I called back to ask my 2nd question: what is the Senator doing about tariffs, over and above co-sponsoring a bill guaranteed not to pass? Guess who got routed straight to voicemail?)
