"Senate Democrats and their allies are trying to destroy a man’s personal and professional life on the basis of decades-old allegations that are unsubstantiated and uncorroborated."

Mitch McConnell is calling these women liars.

"It's amazing these allegations come out of nowhere at the last minute and they weren't brought up earlier in this process. And it's not untypical for our friends on the other side to pull that kind of crap." Orrin Hatch

"...another orchestrated, last-minute hit on the nominee, now they're acting like it's a legitimate reason to delay." -- Mitch McConnell

So, sexual assault allegations are not a good enough reason to delay a #SCOTUS confirmation? #BelieveSurvivors #MeToo

While the right is busy clutching pearls and gnashing teeth about Rashida Tlaib's use of the word motherfucker, I have one word for you. #fridayfeeling #fridaymotivation #impeachtheMF
Here's the entire compilation of Trump swearing up a fucking storm.

If you are offended by Rashida Tlaib's colorful language but not Trump's, your problem might not be the language.

.@TJCoxCongress has pulled ahead of incumbent Valadao in #CA21.

If the lead holds, that will bring the Dem gains in the house to 40 seats.

This is what a #BlueWave looks like, y'all.

But that's just the beginning. 1/
#tuesdaythoughts #tuesdaymotivation
2/ Of particular note, Democrats won the popular vote by over 9M, the largest margin in US history.

The closest runner-up was the election after Watergate.

History does, indeed, rhyme. #tuesdaythoughts #tuesdaymotivation

3/ In addition, Democrats netted 300 legislative seats and 7 governorships. Democrats now have full control in 14 states, which will make this year's redistricting efforts more equitable. #tuesdaythoughts #tuesdaymotivation cnn.com/2018/11/26/pol…

There are so many reasons Cindy Hyde-Smith is wrong for Mississippi.

One of the reasons that just came to light is her long history of racism, starting with attending a segregationist high school to sending her daughter to a similar one as well. #SaturdayMorning
Hyde-Smith attended a segregationist academy specifically designed to avoid Brown v. Board of Ed racial integration.

Not only that, but she also sent her daughter to a similar academy.

This story is stunning.

There’s “no doubt that’s why those schools were set up,” said former U.S. Rep Ronnie Shows, a Democrat who was Hyde-Smith's junior high basketball coach at segregationist Lawrence County Academy in the 1970s. jacksonfreepress.com/news/2018/nov/…

Mitch McConnell wrote an op-ed calling for bipartisanship, and people are not having it

2/"The date was Oct. 23, 2010 — nearly two years into President Barack Obama’s first term and two weeks before the first midterm elections of his presidency. Speaking to the National Journal, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) made a now-infamous statement:
3/“The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.” As The Washington Post’s Glenn Kessler has pointed out, reading the quote in its full context makes it clear that McConnell was saying that it would be impossible for

🔥🔥🔥Michael Beschloss was on @Morning_Joe promoting his new book "Presidents of War" and said that he wouldn't be surprised if Trump didn't use WAR as a political cover for the Russia investigation.

💥What if Trump uses WAR or some terrorist incident before November 6th?
🇷🇺This is from Putin's playbook which he has been using every step of the way.

Read this to find out how Putin came into power in Russia.👇

📉Yeltsin wanted Putin to succeed him (so he could be pardoned for crimes), but only had a 2% approval rating.

✍️Many journalists wrote that the terrorist incidents—4 bombings that killed 293 people & injured more than 1000—were the work of the FSB, ordered by Putin.

🗞️Some of those journalists are dead.

🦸‍♂️The citizens, understandably terrified, hailed Putin as their hero.

The Suffocation of Democracy

By: Christopher R. Browning

THREAD✔
1/
As a historian specializing in the #Holocaust, #Nazi Germany, and #Europe in the era of the world wars, I have been repeatedly asked about the degree to which the current situation in the United States resembles the interwar period and the rise of #fascism in Europe.
2/
I would note several troubling similarities and one important but equally troubling difference.

In the 1920s, the US pursued #isolationism in foreign #policy and rejected participation in international organizations like the League of Nations.

1. The Editorial Board has been on the margins somewhat in talking about the looming crisis of legitimacy facing the United States Supreme Court. That appears to be changing. The political debate seems to be going national. (Yay!*)
2. In “The Supreme Court Is Coming Apart,” the Times’ @DLeonhardt wrote about three ways the court’s legitimacy can be protected and preserved. One is the easiest (though not easy): term limits of 18 years for each justice.
3. Two is court packing, or expanding the court to more than nine justices. The third, I think, is the most interesting—for Chief Justice John Roberts to come to his senses.

On the Senate floor, @SenateMajLdr describes Kavanaugh as a "mainstream nominee" & says he's victim of "shameful smear campaign"

"Democrats & their allies are trying to destroy a man's personal & professional life on basis of decades' old allegations that are unsubstantiated."
MCCONNELL: "This unsubstantiated allegation stands entirely at odds w/everything we've heard about Kavanaugh's character from those who have worked w/him, socialized w/him... Dems wouldn't let inconvenient things like a complete lack of evidence get between them & a good smear."
McConnell describes Deborah Ramirez's assault allegation against Kavanaugh as "another orchestrated, last-minute hit on the nominee"

"And now they're acting like it's a legitimate reason to delay... as though they hadn't already announced themselves as opposed to his nomination"

1. In Sep 2016, during a secret briefing for congressional leaders, the CIA informed the Congress about Russian interference with the election. McConnell objected to declassifying the information & making it public, claiming bipartisanship issues.

2. On January 31, 2017, Mitch McConnell’s wife Elaine Chao was sworn as a State Secretary of Transportation for Trump’s cabinet.
