I call on all witnesses to any drinking or sexual misconduct by #Kavanaugh and those with knowledge of his $200,000 debt to come forward. Plus those who know he knew about Kozinski misconduct while clerking for him, not after Kozinski resigned.
Report your facts to the FBI and to a member of the Judiciary Committee. FBI must investigate reports of wrongdoing that come to them even if Trump restricts their going after the facts. And, Ds can call witnesses to DC for public hearing without the Rs if Rs refuse.
Not as efficient as FBI doing the investigation, but better than none. Senate needs facts to make actual judgment on Kavanaugh's fitness even if they want to act without getting those facts.

With a caravan of migrants arriving at our border soon seeking refuge from the dangers of their countries, it's important to know that there is no evidence that any are other than seekers of safety in the US.

We should only ask: Who can claim asylum?

Here's the answer:
International law since the end of World War II says anyone who makes it to the border of a foreign country has a right to request asylum.
If the country finds you meet the definition of a refugee, it is obligated to shelter you.
That means the claims of all the migrants in the caravan should be evaluated, and not met with guns aimed at them by US soldiers as 45 is threatening to stop them from reaching the U.S.

This is truly scary because it's true.
Is Donald Trump a cult leader? Expert says he “fits the stereotypical profile” salon.com/2018/03/06/is-…
1/One of the scariest statements from the Salon article I tweeted.
"Donald Trump fits the stereotypical profile of a cult leader. His followers fit the model as well...
2/Trump's strategies of fear programming, redefining reality and defining independent journalism as "fake news" mirrors a country on the verge of a totalitarian takeover."

.@PreetBharara’s riveting interview with @JaneMayerNYer makes clear:
1. Ramirez is credible, bona fide; also candid about her own intoxication at the time
2. Those w/ firsthand knowledge flatly refuse to call her a liar or even dispute acct — even on background. /1
3. Even #Kavanaugh sources supplied as character witnesses (!) wouldn’t contradict Ramirez story
4. Exhaustive reporting effort by NYer, fact checking, all levels of editorial & legal; spoke with 50-100 sources
5. Mayer has been getting calls all day, every day, from others… /2
…or their attorneys, offering statements, affidavits, etc. The dam has burst.

Key take-aways:
A. Either Ramirez is genuinely mistaken (unlikely), #Kavanaugh truly has no memory (more likely), or he’s lying.
B. FBI’s Potemkin investigation… /3

Let’s break down some this #Kavanaugh bullshit down and have a little fun in the process - although I'm afraid my descriptions may be a little dark and stormy at times.

<I hope you will enjoy this thread>
2) First, can we all agree that while people are able to change their lives, most of us have our basic character established by the time we are 18 years of age? (And probably earlier than that.) Yeah sure. One can break the mold and change dramatically, but most of us don’t.
3) Given that as a truism, let us compare Merrick Garland’s year book to Brett Kavanaugh’s. Garland's shows a studious guy on the honor roll and student council. While Kavanaugh is absorbed with boofing, devil’s triangle and FFFF (Find em, feel em, f*ck em and forget em).

I'm betting that the FBI is in the process of getting a hold of these people now, if they haven't already. There was some clarification necessary, which came from Trump today regarding how far the probe could go.
3/"NBC News reached out to Berchem for comment after obtaining a copy of a memo she wrote about the text messages. In a statement to NBC News, Berchem, a partner in the law firm Akin Gump, said: “I understand that President Trump and the U.S. Senate have ordered an FBI

I'm a sociologist who studies adolescent sexual violence. On this thread, I will be live tweeting the #Kavanaugh hearing, chiming in with sociological insights and research findings.
Full disclosure--I will probably step away for parts of it. While many conservatives have cast feminists as people who rejoice at allegations of sexual assault against powerful men, this is a painful process for us. We know survivors. We are survivors. And I will need breaks.
It does not bode well that the beginning of this hearing is starting with equating #Kavanaugh and #Ford's experiences with harassment following Dr. Ford's allegations. They are absolutely not the same.

What are Anita Hill’s critiques of what she encountered from the Senate Judiciary Committee? No clear process, a rush to a vote, and failure to call all relevant witnesses. She sees the same problems with the #Kavanaugh hearing. Hill calls for valuing the humanity of victims.
She then called out @OrrinHatch for comparing her to the exorcist. @SenMikeLee, a room of 600 of your constituents are listening to Anita Hill and looking for better from our Utah representatives. And we’re all registered to vote.
Anita Hill asks why the feminist movements in the 60s-90s weren’t enough to end sexual harassment. Her answer? No clear government leadership and an unwillingness to confront the harsh reality that many harassers are people we respect, including our friends and family.
