If you're wondering what all the fuss is about:

Elena Kagan records released to the public: 99%

Sotomayer records released to the public: 100%

Brett Kavanaugh documents released to the public: 7%

#BlockBrett
SENATOR LEAHY: I was Chairman when Elena Kagan was here. 99% of her records were made public. With Judge Kavanaugh, we only have 7% and only 4% are public.
This is so 🔥.

"Who is Bill Burck? By what authority is this man holding back hundreds of thousands of documents from this committee? We don't know who he works for or who he's accountable to."

(By the way, Bill Burck is Steve Bannon's personal attorney)

Adderall is an amphetamine which makes your pupils dilate. This is a person sitting in front of bright TV lights whose pupils should be contracted.

Side effects of Adderall addiction include aggression, memory loss, mania, impulsivity and disorientation.
Here's Noel Casler, a comedian and former crew member from the Celebrity Apprentice talking about Trump's habit of crushing Adderall and snorting it, which is a highly-abusive way to take the drug.
I would argue that it's very relevant (and quite disturbing) that the man who has the nuclear codes and thus the ability to destroy the entire planet may have a drug addiction which causes rage, mania and disorientation.

99.9% of Americans earn less than $10 million a year.

Taxing 0.1% of the population 70% on every dollar AFTER their first ten million would NOT harm the economy.

What other countries spend on health care & infrastructure, we spend on low taxes for the super wealthy.
This type of spending is GOOD for the economy since accumulated wealth doesn't circulate while the economic benefit of improved infrastructure, education and health care is MASSIVELY beneficial to productivity (not to mention quality of life for 320 million people).
I'm seeing this argument in conservative circles that taxing the rich is "unethical."

What utter horseshit.

What's unethical is letting people die in the street from inadequate health care just so some banker can afford a second yacht.

Right now in America people are donating money they don’t have to build a wall they don’t need to solve a problem that doesn’t exist.
The GoFundMe for the Wall has raised about $3 million in 3 days.

At this rate, the Wall will be fully-funded by...2086.

Racists are bad at math.
My favorite part of all this,

Cost of border Wall:
$25,000,000,000.00

Cost of anti-border Wall device:
$15.97

#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.

Kavanaugh’s story is a Jekyll and Hyde story, but one that doesn’t require a strange chemical serum to explain it. It’s a psychological--maybe even a neurological--“story.” 1/9
Kavanaugh says he is mystified and even outraged by the allegations against him, and to some extent--but only to some extent--we must acknowledge that this is indeed the way it all seems to him. 2/9
In his interviews, #Kavanaugh comes across as someone who sees himself as a thoroughly decent (though not perfect) human being. And importantly, THAT IS HOW EVERYONE WHO HAS ONLY SEEN HIM SOBER SEES HIM. Call this person BK1. tinyurl.com/y9no6pnt 3/9

#Kavanaugh THREAD:

David Brock on NBC: “I used to know Brett Kavanaugh pretty well. And, when I think of Brett now, in the midst of his hearings for a lifetime appointment to the U.S. Supreme Court, all I can think of is the old "Aesop's Fables" adage: (1)
"A man is known by the company he keeps." And that's why I want to tell any senator who cares about our democracy: Vote no. Twenty years ago, when I was a conservative movement stalwart, I got to know Brett Kavanaugh both professionally and personally. (2)
Brett actually makes a cameo appearance in my memoir of my time in the GOP, "Blinded By The Right." I describe him at a party full of zealous young conservatives gathered to watch President Bill Clinton's 1998 State of the Union address — (3)

Brett #Kavanaugh doesn't have the integrity to be on SCOTUS. Kavanaugh committed AT LEAST 5 instances of perjury. This is judicial misconduct. Let me spell some of it out for you and tell you what YOU can do. #StopKavanaugh #PerjuryBrett

<THREAD>
1) In 2002 Manny Miranda stole thousands of documents belonging to Dems. Kavanaugh worked alongside Miranda. During a 2004 confirmation hearing Kavanaugh denied receiving any of the documents Miranda stole. In 2006 he lied again under oath. We now know he committed perjury.
2) At a 2006 confirmation hearing, Kavanaugh told @SenatorLeahy that he knew nothing of an illegal warrantless wiretapping program until the New York Times broke the story in 2005. Now we know he was lying. He committed perjury.

Kavanaugh refers to birth control pills as "abortion-inducing drugs" because, you know, science.

Apparently, Brett Kavanaugh believes life begins before conception.
All of the political dogma aside, Brett Kavanaugh appears to have lied under oath several times. We impeached a President for that.
I did the math, if birth control pills are "abortion-inducing drugs," this checks out. #Kavanaugh #KavanaughHearings
