Trump's most likely #SCOTUSnominee is Amy Coney Barrett. She was a law professor before Trump decided to make her a federal judge in 2017.

Before that, she'd never been a judge.🙄

Watch her struggle to answer why she gave paid lectures to a hate group.
#ThursdayThoughts
.@SenWarren talks about Amy Coney Barrett's lack of impartiality, hyperpartisan stances when it comes to "law and order", (hint: poor folks and people of color get the short end of the stick and that's just fine with her.)

#SCOTUSnominee
.@SenatorDurbin -- Amy Coney Barrett has "extraordinary, some would even say extreme" views about precedent.

#SCOTUSnominee
Trump's most likely #SCOTUSNominee, Amy Coney Barrett, is not only extremely anti-choice but she thinks that SCOTUS got Obamacare wrong and would vote to overturn it in a heartbeat.

While the right is busy clutching pearls and gnashing teeth about Rashida Tlaib's use of the word motherfucker, I have one word for you. #fridayfeeling #fridaymotivation #impeachtheMF
Here's the entire compilation of Trump swearing up a fucking storm.

If you are offended by Rashida Tlaib's colorful language but not Trump's, your problem might not be the language.

.@TJCoxCongress has pulled ahead of incumbent Valadao in #CA21.

If the lead holds, that will bring the Dem gains in the house to 40 seats.

This is what a #BlueWave looks like, y'all.

But that's just the beginning. 1/
#tuesdaythoughts #tuesdaymotivation
2/ Of particular note, Democrats won the popular vote by over 9M, the largest margin in US history.

The closest runner-up was the election after Watergate.

History does, indeed, rhyme. #tuesdaythoughts #tuesdaymotivation

3/ In addition, Democrats netted 300 legislative seats and 7 governorships. Democrats now have full control in 14 states, which will make this year's redistricting efforts more equitable. #tuesdaythoughts #tuesdaymotivation cnn.com/2018/11/26/pol…

There are so many reasons Cindy Hyde-Smith is wrong for Mississippi.

One of the reasons that just came to light is her long history of racism, starting with attending a segregationist high school to sending her daughter to a similar one as well. #SaturdayMorning
Hyde-Smith attended a segregationist academy specifically designed to avoid Brown v. Board of Ed racial integration.

Not only that, but she also sent her daughter to a similar academy.

This story is stunning.

There’s “no doubt that’s why those schools were set up,” said former U.S. Rep Ronnie Shows, a Democrat who was Hyde-Smith's junior high basketball coach at segregationist Lawrence County Academy in the 1970s. jacksonfreepress.com/news/2018/nov/…

Who funds the IEA, the TPA, the ASI &co?
You know, the RW 'free trade' thick tanks advocating tax havens, "freedom" (no regulations like workers' rights or environmental protection), no welfare (no tax & no free healthcare).
Basically, "Only the wealthier survive" philosophy?
1/n
*Could it be* that it has something to do with defending their funders' interests?
Today, I'm going to tell you the Thick Tanks' Hydra tale.
Featuring Atlas, huge piles of money, tradition, "free speech", useful idiots and a very clear agenda that Brexit/Trump are a part of.
2/n
Take a seat: It's a long story, with a lot of players, including politicians, pretty ladies squatting your TV, the climate change denial's network, the global fascist movement, Silicon Valley/multiname data-stealing/misusing company & private companies' involved in elections.

Remember the Democrats, the party that booed God, attacked nominees over their religious beliefs during confirmation hearings. This is a direct challenge to the 1st Amendment!
Democrats will use a religious litmus test to determine if a nominee is suitable to serve in higher level government positions. Here is Senator Bernie Sanders harrassing nominee Russell Vought over his Christian beliefs:
Here misogynist & religious bigot Senator Dick Durbin and Senator Diane Feinstein attack Judge Amy Coney Barrett over her Christian faith.

Amy Coney Barrett's record makes very clear that workers’ rights, LGBTQ rights, women’s rights, and voting rights would be at risk if she is confirmed as a #SCOTUS justice. #SaveSCOTUS #stopbarrett
In June 2017, 3 judges on the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the dismissal of a racial discrimination claim against AutoZone for allegedly assigning employees to stores based on race.
When Amy Coney Barrett joined the court, she joined four other judges—over a sharp dissent by three of her colleagues—in denying an appeal by the African-American worker to have his case heard by the full 7th Circuit.

Amy Coney Barrett is a judge on the Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit & on @realDonaldTrump’s pre-approved list for SCOTUS. She passed his “litmus test” on overturning Roe v. Wade & striking down the ACA. Here’s where she stands on Americans' big issues:
Barrett attacked the Supreme Court’s decision upholding the Affordable Care Act, which has helped millions of people secure health insurance coverage. scholarship.law.umn.edu/cgi/viewconten…
Barrett also fought efforts to ensure that all women have access to contraceptives. scribd.com/document/83046…
