On July 1, Senators Kirsten #Gillibrand, Senator Chuck #Grassley & Senator Ted #Cruz announced they will offer the bipartisan #Military Justice Improvement Act as an amendment to this year’s National #Defense Authorization Act. gillibrand.senate.gov/news/press/rel… #NDAA #MJIA #PassMJIA
From Senator Gillibrand's press release: "The Military #Justice Improvement Act would professionalize how the #military prosecutes serious crimes by moving the decision over whether to prosecute them to independent, trained, professional military prosecutors." #MJIA #PassMJIA
"Despite years of Congressional reforms, thousands of service members are raped & sexually assaulted every year. In many of those cases, the assailant is someone in the survivor’s own chain of command." -- #military #MST #MilitarySexualTrauma #MJIA #PassMJIA
So this moment was definitely awkward...maybe it’s just me, I felt Biden had a decent performance up until this cringeworthy point. Sort of downhill from here #DemocraticDebate #DemDebate 
I thought #KamalaHarris did herself some favors tonight, strongest performance of the night. Cory #Booker had an excellent night. #PeteButtigieg had another strong performance as well, consistently solid #DemDebate #DemocraticDebate
Expected to see more incoming toward #PeteButtigieg2020 -surprised he got through basically unscathed. #DemDebate #DemocraticDebate

This is your official #DemDebate2 night thread. I am just getting settled here, drinking water only because my liver is still recovering from last night, and I turn on CNN and this dude is preaching to the audience about RAAAAACCCISM! I think he's the head of the DNC. #Hectic
I can already tell I'm going to have to risk gastro upset and head for the liquor cabinet. This is going to be a disaster. #PJMDrunkBlog #DemDebate2
@CNN thinks #KristenG thinks she's being beat up on because she called for #Franken to resign. I think she's a loser because she's connected up to her ears with #NXVIM #DemDebate2 #ChildTrafficking #PJMDrunkBlog
Critically important here is that #Biden demanded an apology from #Booker and his wife said on a TV special orchestrated by Biden that "America didn't buy it" about #Harris saying exactly this. Biden's team called Harris "slippery and slick." "Jungle" is such a dog whistle, too.
Why on Earth would you want to promote a candidate with questionable history on race when that is a key issue with Trump? No one is claiming #Biden = Trump, but anyone can hear the debate question right now. And this gives cover for racist white voters.
Biden has consistently asserted "everyone" knows he was in the forefront on Civil Rights, but in fact, no one knows that. There are numerous videos of Biden saying things most would consider questionable at best. Democrats need the strongest candidate, not the most vulnerable.
THREAD 📌📌📌
What a total reframing of what actually happened to try to damage @KamalaHarris.
#Biden raised the issue of segregation.
#Booker---WHO IS BLACK---asked for an apology.
Biden doubled down and claimed Booker should apologize to him.

A week ago both #Beto and #Buttigieg had joined the impeachment calls.Today #Booker, #Gillibrand and others added their voices for impeachment and #Sanders said he would support whatever Pelosi chooses to do, but said it seems time to examine the issue.
