Why did Dr. Ford just agree to testify even though 1) #GOP Senate Leader doesn't care what she would say, 2) She will get more death threats, and 3) She will be subject to questioning by hostile GOP men about her traumatic & humiliating sexual assault? Because her story is true.

.Orrin G. Hatch Foundation : There’s plenty of reason for some people to think that this is a smear campaign. Me: But doesn’t that imply that the women are lying? (long pause) Hatch: It doesn’t hold them in high esteem, put it that way!!

The stark contrast between Kavanaugh's demeanor and tone vs. Christine Blasey Ford's is insane. This is how we've been conditioned: Women to be accommodating and eager to please; men to be loud, angry and righteous. #KavanaughHearings

If Brett Kavanaugh can be this angry on national TV, imagine what he's like when he gets inebriated. #KavanaughHearings

Judge Brett Kavanaugh is almost certainly going to be appointed the next member of the Supreme Court of the United States. What we witnessed on Thursday was the Republican Party testing how far its politics of entitlement can go. And there is no limit. nyer.cm/Rf5rZCf

Now the American Bar Association (who had rated the Judge qualified and whose rating was touted today by his supporters) just called for a VOTE DELAY to complete the FBI background check investigation and interview witnesses cnn.com/2018/09/27/pol…

This is the head of the American Conservative Union, whose spouse is a senior staffer in the Trump White House, making what surely seems to be a straight-up appeal to bigotry.

republicans, previously: there's no need to reduce fossil fuel emissions, because climate change isn't real republicans, now: there's no need to reduce fossil fuel emissions, because climate change is unavoidable

So telling

Kavanaugh's numbers among the public have been getting worse, but it's been a fairly slow and steady decline. Unsurprisingly, partisan and gender gaps have widened recently. 53eig.ht/2O9QgoM

This whole 4-minute clip is worth watching. Kamala Harris grills FBI Director Chris Wray on the Kavanaugh supplemental background investigation, Wray confirms that the investigation was "limited in scope" by the White House. (via CSPAN)

Heh, heh, heh

This is appalling. Wisconsin where have you gone so wrong? Making a murderer and now this????

A GOP operative in NC tries to undercut an election. A GOP legislature in WI tries to undermine election results. Yet, a simple misunderstanding sends a woman with a green card to prison for 8 years for voting. You tell me what’s a greater threat to our democracy.

Remember when Mexico was going to pay for the wall? Well, now President Trump is threatening to shut down the federal government because he wants American taxpayers to pay for it instead.

George Conway, often referred to as Mr. Kellyanne Conway by those who know him, is VERY jealous of his wife’s success & angry that I, with her help, didn’t give him the job he so desperately wanted. I barely know him but just take a look, a stone cold LOSER & husband from hell!
