1/ now The only thing that @JeffFlake has to do is exactly what he did last week. Last Thurs. night he looked like he was going to be yes vote to move the #Kavanaugh nom forward, but he didn't do that. His comments today (attached) make it appear as though he will vote yes.
2/ Instead, @JeffFlake should give some thought to saying that the FBI investigation that he called for & got isn't complete enuf w/o the rest of the witnesses & the 2 subjects being interviewed. He can stop this tomorrow, and he should. #CancelKanavaugh #FridayFeeIing

3/"Flake told reporters Thursday in Washington that he agreed with U.S. Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, another key Republican vote, that the weeklong probe was thorough and produced "no additional corroborating information." But the apparent support of the investigation by
4/"Flake and Collins would seem to brighten Kavanaugh's confirmation prospects. Senate Republicans can only afford one defection from their party before needing help from Democrats to confirm Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court."
5/ Sorry for the typos...I work with editors cleaning up after me...and I REALLY need an edit button here.... come on #Twitter....please!

1-This is interesting & could end up being pertinent to what Trump's trying to do now-"On 9/11/01, Bush 43 declared a state of emergency..That declared state of emergency has continued in full force and effect from 9/11 TO THE PRESENT.." #SundayThoughts constitutionally.blogspot.com
2-What is important to know is that a formally declared state of National Emergency has ancillary effects, for one thing, it invokes martial law-something that Trump can't be trusted with. It also implements Continuity of Gov't, IF the President chooses to invoke that..
3-"What Are Continuity of Government Plans? Continuity of government plans are contingency plans which create a new government in the case of an alleged threat to the ability of the American government to continue operations. America's COG plans were created to deal with

2-"WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump held forth on all manner of things this past week as he emerged from a “lonely” spell over the holidays. He opined for more than 90 minutes to the press, at the top of a Cabinet meeting, on the shutdown, immigration, drug prices, the

(THREAD) Collins votes YES, so Kavanaugh’s confirmed.

This is the finale of the confirmation VOTE, but it is NOT the end of the #Kavanaugh ISSUE. 1/14
The FBI “investigation” was a sham, and that makes Collins’ special pleading for her YES vote a sham. It was a sickening performance. 2/14
The fatal weakness of her defense of her vote is that there was no meaningful investigation. Merely seeking corroboration in the form of direct, eyewitness testimony from the participants of the 1 Jul 1982 meeting does not constitute a meaningful investigation. 3/14

Ds should make this offer to the undecideds:

We will not go after you in the midterms (or later) and fully accept a Yes vote IF you will declare NOW that your vote on #Kavanaugh is NO unless you can be satisfied, from Wray’s notes, that the FBI investigation was not restricted.
Since it clearly WAS restricted, that would put the undecided Rs in an impossible position. Wray’s notes will undoubtedly show restriction. And if the WH refuses to turn the notes over, that TOO will show that the FBI’s investigation was restricted.
How can Collins and others possibly justify a vote to confirm #Kavanaugh in the absence of a meaningful investigation?

Would they allow this to happen to one of their own constituents if a similar credible allegation had been brought by THEM?

1) Soyons brefs et factuels dans l'imbroglio #Kavanaugh. Dans 1h30, les 21 membres du comité judiciaire du Sénat voteront pour donner sa recommandation avant le vote de la haute assemblée sur la confirmation du nominé de #Trump. 11 républicains, 10 démocrates...
2) Il n'y a que 2 sénateurs républicains du comité judiciaire Flake (Arizona) et Sasse (Nebraska) à ne pas avoir encore dit s'il votait pour recommander #Kavanaugh. Sasse s'oppose à #Trump sur la méthode pour se construire 1 avenir post 2020 mais sur le fond, 1 conservateur dur.
3) Reste donc #Flake, dont le vote est décisif au comité judiciaire et qui ne sera plus sénateur d'Arizona en janvier. Il peut donc voter en conscience sur #Kavanaugh. Mais lui aussi est 1 opposant sur la méthode à #Trump qui a toujours suivi la logique partisane finalement...

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.

"Why would she wait until now to report the sexual assault?"

A Thread.

#Kavanaugh #RapeCulture #ContentWarning
I write a lot of poems about sexual assault and rape culture. I perform these poems at slams all over the country, and when I do, women come up to me after the slam to tell me their stories.

So I'm not merely speaking about my own experience; this is a collective femme Catch 22.
The pressure is on us to report quickly; but victims are emotionally compromised by the situation.

94% of women who are raped experience symptoms of PTSD in the 2 weeks after the assault.
