As @demfromCT points out, the comms adviser for Senate Judiciary GOP that denied any involvement in the conspiracy most recently worked at the same PR firm that Whelan used to push the theory.

What a coincidence.
As @ChuckGrassley threatens to force a vote on Kavanaugh, it would probably be helpful to know how he and his staff were involved in a libelous effort to cast doubt on a sexual assault survivor.
It now appears that Whelan got Ford’s name from friends at the White House.

Senate Dems should demand testimony from Whelan & his WH associates related to their apparent coordinated conspiracy to discredit a sexual assault survivor.

Hey civility police, when you’re done falsifying Eric Holder quotes maybe you can address the GOP candidate for PA Governor, who just threatened his opponent by saying he’s going to “stomp all over your face with golf spikes.”
Here's the *insane* video, if you think I'm kidding. facebook.com/wagnerforgover…
Full video of GOP candidate Scott Wagner threatening Gov. Tom Wolf: "You better put a catcher's mask on your face because I'm going to stomp all over your face with golf spikes."

Important DC statehood news: @SenDuckworth has signed on as a cosponsor of the D.C. Admission Act. There are now 29 Senate cosponsors. But 20 Democrats are still silent. That's inexcusable. Democrats need to vocalize statehood support. bit.ly/2Q5UcnT
There are some names missing from the cosponsor list that Democrats should reach out to. For instance: @ChrisMurphyCT, will you cosponsor DC statehood?

Recent polling from @DataProgress finds that 68% of Connecticut voters support statehood. Join them! bit.ly/2M7IRpa
Another glaring set of names missing from the cosponsor list for DC statehood are @SenWhitehouse and @SenJackReed. A full 70% of Rhode Island voters support DC statehood. Senators, will you cosponsor the statehood bill?

What’s wrong with health care today?

There is a pill, Truvada, that’s 99% effective at preventing HIV.

It’s one of the most effective methods to prevent a viral infection ever discovered.

But it retails at $2,000 a month, so fewer than 10% of at risk people have access.
The patent for Truvada is held by Gilead.

Well, you might ask, they created the drug so that’s fair, right?

Actually, much of the research and development for Truvada was funded by the federal government and private donors like the Gates Foundation.
Why is this so frustrating?

More than a year ago the FDA approved a generic version of Truvada. But since then nothing has happened. There’s no ability for at risk populations to access a generic version at a significantly lower cost.

Instead Gilead continues to raise costs.

Here is an actual clause of the #USConstitution:

“...no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.”

US Constitution, Article VI, Clause 3

#buescher
#nominee
#Nebraska
Suppose that Article VI had a further Clause, Clause 4, that stated, “no racial identity shall ever be the basis for a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.”
Now, such a clause would prohibit the President from granting or withholding an office based on racial identity, and, in like vein, would prohibit the Senate from withholding consent to a nomination, or granting it, on the basis of racial identity.

1. We are offered two distinctly different messages in response to the political actions and climate of the Trump era. Two fundamental philosophies that will shape the course of our country:

We Are Better Than This
vs.
It Doesn't Matter, We Won
2. One, an optimistic appeal to the integrity of the people of our country, offers hope for the future. The other hints at a slippery slope with no bottom. The end justifies the means no matter the cost. I find it doubtful this dark message is what Republicans teach their kids
3. There's no daylight between Trump and #GOP leaders who've have had 2+ years to decide who they are - those of character have already left the party. The rest have gladly molded themselves into Trump’s vision, fully embracing fear-mongering, nationalism, division and lies.
