BREAKING: Trump just announced his #SCOTUSpick - Brett Kavanaugh, who has a troubling record on #reprorights, the environment, the ACA, and more. Keep reading to learn more about #WhatsAtStake and why we must #StopKavanaugh ⬇️
Brett Kavanaugh is one of the most cravenly partisan choices Trump could have made. He’s been called the “Forrest Gump of Republican politics,” as he seems to always show up in high-stakes, far-right political battles and conspiracy theories.
Kavanaugh doesn’t believe that a sitting president can be indicted, and believes presidents should have wide latitude to hire and fire special counsels. His nomination could shield Trump from facing accountability for his crimes and corruption.
Kavanaugh earned his place on Trump’s shortlist with a 𝒄𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒓 record of trying to block abortion access - and the fact that he was nominated by Trump at all tells us he would overturn Roe v. Wade.
Kavanaugh was one of the most anti-environmental and anti-climate change judges on Trump’s shortlist. His rulings show he’s willing to dismantle environmental protections and efforts to combat climate change.
Kavanaugh’s past rulings also show that he’s willing to:
✖️Dismantle #NetNeutrality
✖️Sabotage the ACA
✖️Side w/ the wealthy & powerful (he thinks the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is 𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭!)
✖️Strike down gun violence prevention laws
This will be a tough fight to #StopKavanaugh and #SaveSCOTUS, but it isn’t impossible. We need to use every tool at our disposal to block Brett Kavanaugh from being confirmed. Here’s how you can take action this week: savescotus.indivisible.org
Our path to victory is narrow, but it’s there. This is not business as usual and there’s no time to waste. All Democratic senators must come out to #StopKavanaugh now. Now is the time for hardball, and @SenSchumer is up at bat. Our statement:
#SaveSCOTUS

Through fights like passing the ACA, @nancypelosi has shown to be a strong and progressive leader, and we shouldn’t let a small group of white, moderate men sabotage her. We support Nancy Pelosi for Speaker of the House. 1/3
We’re also very pleased that @NancyPelosi has committed to put progressives on key committees so we have have fighters in place to hold Trump accountable. 2/3
We need new freshman fighters like @RashidaTlaib on key committees like appropriations. We need champions like @PramilaJayapal on Ways & Means and Judiciary. 3/3

Jeff Sessions just announced his resignation as Attorney General - and Trump has nominated Matthew Whitaker as his replacement. Here’s what this means for the Mueller investigation: ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
Whitaker is poised to take over supervision of the Mueller investigation from Rosenstein - and he has been advocating limiting/shutting down Mueller for a while: cnn.com/2017/08/06/opi…
This is a pretty clear attempt from Trump to seize some control over the investigation. WHITAKER CAN NOT RUN THIS INVESTIGATION. We need to demand that he commit to let Mueller run things independently, or recuse from the investigation like Sessions did.

#Kavanaugh tweet storm beginning now:

1/
Today’s confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court is the most significant judicial victory for conservatives of my lifetime. All conservatives should thank @SenMajLdr & @ChuckGrassley for their extraordinary leadership through a grueling battle.

2/
Moving the court from 5-4 liberal to 5-4 conservative will have sweeping ramifications for the country. Most importantly, it will restore the rule of law & the Constitution. Democrat efforts to end run state legislatures, Congress & the executive branch will now be fruitless.

#BREAKING: A new sexual allegation against Brett Kavanaugh has surfaced, this time from his freshman year at Yale. His accuser is on the record. Republicans have known about it - and they responded by trying to accelerate the timing of a vote on Kavanaugh. newyorker.com/news/news-desk…
Deborah Ramirez's accusations against Kavanaugh appear to have been contemporaneously and independently confirmed by a classmate at Yale.

And no, it's not a case of mistake identity.
Ronan Farrow and Jane Meyer spoke to a lot of classmates of Kavanaugh & Deborah Ramirez, and even those who cannot personally corroborate Ramirez's accusations all seem to remember Kavanaugh as an unusually heavy drinker who became aggressive and belligerent when drunk.

#Breaking #Trump muscle le ton et le jeu sur le lien entre exécutif et justice. Dans 1 interview qui s'annonce mémorable à @thehill, il déclare à propos de son ministre Sessions: "Je n'ai pas de ministre de la Justice". #thread thehill.com/hilltv/rising/…
2) Dans la même interview- filmée, #Trump revient sur son incroyable décision de faire déclassifier tous les documents relatifs à l'enquête du #FBI sur son éventuelle collusion avec la #Russie... pour s'y féliciter du mal que cela fera au FBI...thehill.com/hilltv/rising/…
3) Car rappelons que le président US, #Trump, vient donc d'ordonner la déclassification des documents portant sur 1 enquête en cours du #FBI, au risque évident de dévoiler sources, méthodes etc...pour 1 seule raison: cette enquête le concerne. #àlire vox.com/2018/9/17/1787…

#BREAKING: California professor, writer of confidential Brett #Kavanaugh letter, speaks out about allegation of traumatic sexual assault. “I thought he might inadvertently kill me,” she describes how he forced himself on her, pinned her, shut her mouth washingtonpost.com/investigations…
Anita Hill's sexual harassment by Clarence Thomas was ignored. Now we're at a new low. Republicans want to rush through a SCOTUS nominee credibly accused of attempted rape…to gut a woman's right to abortion. We are not free if we can't make decisions about our bodies. #Kavanaugh
I'd like to say, couldn't the Republicans find someone better than Brett Kavanaugh for SCOTUS?? Then again, look who they nominated for POTUS. If Collins & Murkowski vote to confirm a credibly accused rapist, GOP moral decay is irreversible. And unforgivable in November & beyond.

#Breaking BADABOUM Pour #Trump, président des #EtatsUnis, l'#UnionEuropeenne est 1 ENNEMI. La #Russie seulement sous certains aspects. Oui, vous vous en foutez à cette heure mais vous avez bien lu... Encore 1 fois, aucun hasard, et 1 projet délibéré de destruction. RT+
2) #Breaking #Trump a été élu président sur 1 projet nationaliste, identitaire et mercantiliste, financé en particulier par le milliardaire Mercer qui soutint aussi le #Brexit. Jusqu'ici, il l'applique à la lettre. Ce n'est pas lui qui est surprenant mais la naïveté des Européens
3) #Breaking Je renvoie à mon #thread d'avant-hier sur la politique extérieure de #Trump: 1 doctrine cohérente pour abattre l'ordre mondial libéral post-1991 que ses partenaires de l'UE ou l'OTAN croient pouvoir réduire aux excentricités du personnage...

#Breaking BADABOUM thermonucléaire. Au printemps 2016, #Trump Jr a reçu des propositions d'aide pour la campagne de son père des Émirats, d'Arabie saoudite et d'1 compagnie israélienne spécialiste de la manipulation des réseaux sociaux. Il a dit oui.#Mueller le sait. Game changer
2) #Breaking #Trump commence bien sûr sa journée en répondant au scoop du @nytimes d'hier qui lui pose 1 énorme problème (car il compromet encore un peu plus son fils). SON argument: comme #Mueller n'a rien trouvé sur la #Russie, il cherche n'importe quoi.
3) Sur la méthode, c'est très intéressant car hier, immédiatement depuis la publication du @nytimes, on a vu des milliers de comptes pro-#Trump "rôder" et diffuser cet argument: #Mueller n'a rien trouvé sur la #Russie, alors il va chercher Arabie Saoudite, EAU et Israël...
