The Administration and Senate Republicans are hiding basic documents about Judge Kavanaugh from the American people. I applaud @SenBooker, @MazieHirono and @SenatorLeahy for releasing these materials.
Instead of following the historical standard of allowing the nonpartisan National Archives to determine what documents are released, Republicans have outsourced this process to a Republican lawyer who represents officials in the Trump Administration.
This is a lifetime appointment that will impact the lives of all Americans. We deserve to have Judge Kavanaugh's full record available.

I commend @GovernorTomWolf for taking bold action to address climate change in Pennsylvania. He recognizes that our state and our workers have the ability to confront a changing climate and grow our economy.
These greenhouse gas reduction goals will position our businesses and workers to create new, good-paying jobs that bolster economic growth and ensure the air we breathe is cleaner.
The federal government should follow Pennsylvania’s example by rejoining the Paris Climate Accords and finally taking direct action on climate change.

President Trump shut down the government to force the construction of a wall that security experts say won’t work. A concrete or steel wall is not border security.
Instead of continuing his shutdown, President Trump should commit to signing the Republican bills passed by the Democratic House that would reopen the government and secure the border with over $1 billion in funding.
Once the government is reopened, Congress should have a substantial debate on how to fix our broken system and begin work on legislation that mirrors the bipartisan 2013 comprehensive immigration reform bill.

President Trump doesn’t seem to get it. He’s not getting a concrete or steel wall along the width of the border- never, ever, ever, ever.
I, along with Democrats in Congress, want to actually fix our immigration system through comprehensive reform that secures the border and provides a pathway to citizenship for immigrants.
The 2013 comprehensive immigration bill got 68 Senate votes. It provided $40 billion to secure the border and included a pathway to citizenship for immigrants.

#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.

Christine Blasey Ford listens to Judiciary GOP chair Grassley falsely claim he’s done everything possible for a fair process and it’s Democrats who obstruct. He falsely equates what she’s been thru w/ Kavanaugh, falsely says Senate has already investigated so FBI doesn’t have to.
Dr Blasey Ford’s voice breaks detailing her sexual assault by Kavanaugh. “I believed he was going to rape me. I was too afraid and ashamed to tell anyone… I tried to suppress it b/c recounting it caused panic and anxiety.” She’s breathing heavily, powering thru. What a hero.
Blasey Ford is being essentially cross-examined by Maricopa County Arizona sex crimes prosecutor Rachel Mitchell. Mitchell asks if her texts to WaPo & her letter to Senator Feinstein are accurate.

Mitch McConnell is currently complaining about:

✔️ Dr. Ford
✔️ Senate Dems
✔️ Senator Feinstein
✔️ The resistance

And is also trying to claim Senate Dems betrayed Dr. Ford, by leaking to the press.

Call your Senators to say NO to Kavanaugh. 202-224-3121.
McConnell is currently praising the integrity of Chuck Grassley, and letting loose on Senate Democrats.

Is also criticizing the veracity of Dr. Ford's story, and trying to paint her as unreasonable for having accommodation requests.
McConnell: "But the smear campaign didn't just stop there!"

McConnell is now trying to smear @RonanFarrow @JaneMayerNYer's New Yorker story about Deborah Rodriguez. Claiming the allegation is so thin, NYT refused to run the Rodriguez story.

Trump: #Kavanaugh’s never had even a little blemish. I have great faith in the Senate and their process. If it [confirmation] has to be delayed a little, then it will be. Feinstein had this information and didn’t bring it up. It should’ve been brought up a long time ago. #SCOTUS
GOP @SenatorCollins: #Kavanaugh was emphatic in denying sexual assault allegations. Obviously if he lied about it, it would be disqualifying.
“Disqualifying”—Susan Collins is the first Senate Republican to say the word out loud: “Obviously if Judge Kavanaugh has lied about what happened, that would be disqualifying.” He should obviously withdraw, but that’s a precedent Trump might have to follow

THREAD from #Kavanaugh confirmation hearing Day1. Day2 begins. GOP chair Grassley said yesterday’s protesters plotted w/ Democrats to disrupt hearing. “Today is different,” he said. Protests continued. One said: “I’m offended; I called out Durbin. I didn’t coorindate w/Democrats”
Feinstein starts questions on gun regulation & “common use.” She said she never thought she’d see children mowed down in schools. #Kavanaugh: “It’s all about precedent. If a type of firearm is widely owned like assault weapons, then it’s unconstitutional to ban them under Heller”
Feinstein asks about Roe: I don’t want to go back to those numbers [women dying in back alley abortions]. #Kavanaugh: I don’t live in a bubble. I understand its importance. As a judge, Roe & Casey are long-standing Supreme Court precedent. (Implying it should stand, it seems.)

Grassley: The Committee Will Have Ample Information & Time to Carry Out Its Responsibilities

@drawandstrike @ThomasWictor @HNIJohnMiller @jihadaeon1 @rising_serpent @_ImperatorRex_ @Debradelai @LarrySchweikart @GodlessNZ @TheChiIIum

Last week, I announced that the Senate Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing on Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court starting on September 4. The hearing will begin 57 days after the President announced Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination—
more than a week longer than the period between announcement and hearing for Justices Sotomayor, Kagan, and Gorsuch.

The Senate has already received more documents from Judge Kavanaugh’s time in the Executive Branch than we did for any previous Supreme Court nominee.
