And Trump's proposal to reopen the government failed: 51-47.
Manchin was the only Democrat to vote for it.
Sens. Lee and Cotton were the only Republicans to vote against it.
And now Trump has proof that his plan won't pass the Republican-led Senate
And the vote total was read from the Senate floor incorrectly. The vote was 50-47

(three senators are absent)
And the Democratic proposal to reopen the government for two weeks got more votes than Trump's. It still failed, though 52-44

Republicans who voted for it:
Alexander
Collins
Gardner
Isakson
Murkowski
Romney

Furthermore, the five names Trump added to his list of Federalist Approved judges last November was to get Kavanaugh on that list. The other four names were considered cover, per source.

In other words: the decision has been baked for a while:

To be clear: This is from one source and dont have any info on whether potus talked to kennedy about a possible replacement.

Kiss of death, I know, as I once thought (for reasons now sadly obvious) that no government would be mad enough to send the A50 notification.

But for first time since notification I can now see a plausible political path to revocation.

The Deal being voted down changed things.
A safe UK exit requires a deal.

Any possible deal acceptable to the EU seems to be politically unacceptable to the House of Commons (because of the backstop).

Ergo, revocation.

Article 50 extensions and referendums are political red herrings.
Fwiw, I am not opposed to Brexit in principle and (if an MP, ho ho) I would have voted for the Deal.

(In other words, had I had a vote, UK would be Brexiting.)

So this contention is not Remoaning, just applying rational sense (also, ho ho).

No Deal, no Brexit.

1/6 I have decided to withdraw my amendment to the Government’s Withdrawal Agreement motion today which would have rejected both the PM’s deal and leaving with no deal.
2/6 It’s vital that we now get the clearest expression of view from the House on the Government’s deal - like many others I will vote against it - but I intend to pursue a ‘no to no deal’ vote at the earliest opportunity.
3/6 Since I originally tabled the amendment in December, the House has voted for a no deal amendment to the Finance Bill which is a clear and very welcome indication of MPs’ opposition to no deal.

@Jim_Jordan Any #Trump sycophant, alleged pedophile protector, trying to besmirch this hero, while his own children will have to suffer from the decisions made for the country, is sad. Why wouldn't the #GOP make it an open door session if they had nothing to hide? Your reign ends soon.
@Jim_Jordan As time passes, more comes to light, with the Steele dossier, Trumps alleged involvement in Epstein child sex ring where Secretary Acosta stopped the FBI investigation before more suspects could be arrested, and money laundering campaign contributions from Russian operatives.
@Jim_Jordan Plus your support for a theocratic monarchy that really acts like a ruthless inhumane dictator & desire to sell American technology to them when it could then be used to kill our own troops or handed over to Russia is genuinely INSANE. Who is dishonorable, spineless sycophantic?

Putin's Ideological War THREAD 1/8:

Trump & the modern GOP are symptoms of Russian war unleashed upon the U.S. population.

Knowledge is key to winning this war & preventing Kremlin-inspired radicalization of our people.

Must read by @KirkseniyaSF. ⬇️
kyivpost.com/article/opinio…
"The Kremlin creates special mini-ideologies...aimed at specific social groups."

The first such group Kirillova discusses is RW ideologically religious. To that end, the Kremlin seeks to target activities & propaganda at Christian groups inclined to "protect Christianity." 2/8
Putin also targets less religious but still very far right groups in democracies abroad.

This ideology is frequently intertwined w/nationalist sentiments & the promise of a restoration of lost greatness. ('Make America Great Again' is the U.S. version of this rhetoric.) 3/8

BREAKING: The White House has said that US President #Trump is canceling his upcoming South America trip to remain in the US "to oversee the American response to Syria." - @NBCNews
This sounds like the US is planning to strike #Syria and Trump will remain in the US to closely monitor responses by #Russia. This is terrible.
BREAKING - British forces are now mobilizing at their bases in #Cyprus for strikes against #Syria. It appears very likely that the US, France and U.K. will strike Syria in the next 24 hours. This is dreadful.
