Republicans tried to find the person who most closely represents their values for a lifetime Supreme Court seat and literally the best they could do is a guy who is probably an attempted rapist
You have all the Republican lawyers in America at your disposal. Thoughtful, seasoned legal scholars. And the best you can do is a "don't-tell-your-wives-about-our-boat-trip" frat guy attempted rapist.
Had credible sexual assault accusations been leveled at Merrick Garland, Democrats would've disappeared him faster than a clumsy Obama surrogate in 2008

UCMJ every one of these people
She needs to be kicked out
Just want to say this one more time: There is nothing ok about these images. Deployed troops in uniform--including at least one officer--acting like they're at a #MAGA political rally. There needs to be discipline, and fast.

Just, like . . . on your own? What was the solicitation number? What type of contract? To what company (or companies) was it awarded?
Do you love lamp
These are questions every WH reporter should be asking the president and/or the press secretary

Here is a thing politicians 8,000 miles away from the fighting have never understood in 15 years of fighting in Iraq and Syria: The U.S. Army considers the Kurdish peshmerga an extension of itself. Much like individual platoons and companies are loyal to their interpreters.
American soldiers and Kurdish peshmerga have fought and died together fighting Ba'athists and ISIS.

The American people aren't loyal to the Kurds. Elected officials aren't loyal to the Kurds. But the Army is. And Mattis knows it. And Trump is going to have to deal with this now.

Can you explain to me why you wouldn't want another party in power for the Senate or House when you believe in the Constitution and checks and balances?

Morning all: If you're looking for links to watch this morning's testimony, start here.

An alternative link: judiciary.senate.gov/meetings/nomin…
Candidly: we're not off to a good start. Clear bias as Grassley opens by stating there wasn't a "whiff" of allegations when Kavanaugh was investigated by the FBI, and scolds Feinstein for not revealing the letter. In front of Dr. Ford.

Please call your Senators. (202) 224-3121.

Analysis | Now that Kavanaugh has a second accuser, what do Senate Republicans do? washingtonpost.com/politics/2018/…
2/'Republicans were already battling a current to get Brett M. Kavanaugh onto the Supreme Court after he was accused of sexual assault when it was reported Sunday that a second woman publicly accused him of sexual misconduct. Kavanaugh has denied both the allegations, calling the
3/"second one “a smear.” But the emergence of a second accuser has been enough for the top Senate Democrat involved in the judge’s nomination process to request that the whole thing be paused, perhaps indefinitely. It’s an open question what Republicans will do next. They have no

Gather round, friends as we settle into Day Two of Kavanaugh confirmation hearings!

Senators are milling about judiciary and things should be starting soon
Grassley gavels the room to order and wishes everyone a good morning.

Reminder: no good mornings for Grassley
Grassley says Democratic Senators interrupted proceedings 63 times and protesters were escorted out about 70 times.

Protesters start speaking over Grassley now. Sounds like a disability rights activist

This Day in Labor History: March 1, 1932, Norris-LaGuardia Act passed the Senate, outlawing many of employers' worst anti-union practices. Let's talk about this critical moment in American labor history and how we are returning to these dark days today.
In the Lochner era, a misnomer that uses a single court case to represent a doctrine of work that had already existed for more than a half-century before that 1905 decision, there was a widespread belief in the sanctity of the contract between employers and workers.
n other words, if a worker agreed to work on a job, it was inherently implied that said worker agreed to the conditions of work the employer set. If the employer created conditions where the worker did not want to sell his or her labor, that worker could quit.
