On Aug. 3, Donald Trump literally said he wanted to "get rid of judges"—not over sexual assault allegations—but who follow due process with immigration cases, thus slowing his policies.

Sen. @CindyHydeSmith did not express concerns about "judicial independence" then. #MSSen
On immigration, Trump says he wants to 'get rid of judges' google.com/amp/www.msnbc.…
Last year, Cindy Hyde-Smith gave her first speech on the Senate floor and called it her "duty as the first woman to represent Mississippi in Congress to speak in strong support of Judge Brett Kavanaugh" and against the women who accused him of rape.

The owner of a restaurant across from Mississippi's last abortion clinic says activists shout at his patrons while they eat on the patio, show them bloody images of fetuses, and tell them he is "cooking babies in the kitchen & frying little kids." #jxn ⅟7
jacksonfreepress.com/news/2019/sep/…
Business owners in Jackson's Fondren community, where the abortion clinic is located, spoke out at City Council in favor of an ordinance that would create a 15' buffer zone around the clinic and limit the use of amplifiers and speakers. 2/7

"Children nap on sidewalks outside the abortion clinic while their anti-abortion activist parents march up & down the streets for hours, using bullhorns to plead with or denounce as 'jezebels' women who are trying to make their way to the doors." 3/7

THREAD: How Mississippi's members of congress, candidates, and other leaders are responding to the Trump #Impeachment inquiry.

Congressman @BennieGThompson says we "must protect our constitution and the United States of America's national security." 1/
jacksonfreepress.com/news/2019/sep/…
"(Trump) has abused his power, obstructed justice, & violated his oath of office. (He) should not put his political interests over our nat'l security. No one is above the law. Therefore, he must be impeached and subsequently removed from office." —Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) 2/
Mississippi Republicans have circled the wagons around Trump, ignoring concerns over his interactions with Ukraine's president. GOP Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith simply called it "divisive" and "grasping at straws." 3/

Black women are "working class." They voted for Clinton over Trump 95-3. Study after study has debunked this myth:

"Research on Iowa counties that swung from Obama to Trump indicates that GOP success was driven far more by sexism and racism than by economic anxiety." ¼
"Economic distress is not a significant factor in explaining the shift in Iowa voters from Democrat to Republican between 2008 and 2016," write Iowa State University sociologists Ann Oberhauser, Daniel Krier, and Abdi Kusow. 2/4
"The election outcomes do not signify [a revolt] among working-class voters left behind by globalization."
Rather, in 2016, "the nativist narrative about 'taking back America' and anti-immigrant sentiment became stronger forces than economic issues." ¾

Leonard Leo needs more sunlight

Top Trump Backer Financed Supreme Court Confirmation Fights Through Shadowy Network thedailybeast.com/top-trump-back… via @thedailybeast
A top conservative (and shady AF) judicial assho...er “activist” used a sprawling web of interconnected groups to not only help fund DONALD’S INAUGURATION but to help pave the way for the CONFIRMATION of his SCOTUS nominees.
Previously unreported documents obtained by The Daily Beast provide the first glimpse into the finances of a key node in that network, traced to Federalist Society president Leonard Leo, a major player in Washington’s wars over the makeup of the federal judiciary.

1. Woke up 3hrs too early, queasy and stressed. 2mins from now, we will likely be witness to a national misogynistic sham so deep and so blatant as to prove once and for all that the powerbrokers of US government do not believe women are human. #Kavanaugh #BelieveSurvivors #RAGE
2. I'll prob livetweet #Kavanaugh hearing, but I feel physically ill over how they've stacked the deck against #ChristinaBlaseyFord, ignored #JulieSwetnick's gang rape allegations, demonized #DeborahRamirez. How many more rapes will happen bec Trump &GOP brand claim women liars.
3. 0 reason other than corruption, misogyny, and partisanship for having no witnesses, no FBI investigation. Yet hypocrite Grassley, opens saying he wants a "Safe, comfortable, and dignified" hearing and a "show of civility"--then immediately misrepresents the issues. #Kavanaugh
