Trump supporter arrested for threatening to slaughter senators and their families for not supporting Brett Kavanaugh

Stalin infamously called historians "archive rats." He feared their pursuit of truth. So does Putin. This is an outrage. Spread the word.


Christine Blasey Ford’s attorney writes to the FBI saying there are eight additional people who should be interviewed.


"What I can say is that the most notable part of this report is what's not in it."

Murkowski just headed into the room to read the report. Plans on reading the whole thing. Did not attend the briefing earlier.

SIREN: Susan Collins: "It appears to be a very thorough investigation.”


Read this magnificent @JRubinBlogger closing argument on how Republicans’ misogyny will reap the whirlwind. As a potential Supreme Court Justice said in a setting that couldn’t have been less appropriate, “what goes around comes around.”


“Even before the investigation ended, several people who said they had information that could be useful said they ended up mired in bureaucracy when they tried to get in touch with the FBI.”

READ these full, new threads about Judge Kavanaugh’s veracity problem. I’ve pulled it all together and summarized it here. With so much at stake in this lifetime appointment, the American people, and the Senate, need to know.


Today, I called for the IRS to fully investigate the allegations of tax fraud committed by @realDonaldTrump and his family.


QAnon supporters think the presidential text alert today "could mark the start of 'The Storm,' a fantastical MAGA dream in which Trump’s political enemies will be arrested and tried at military tribunals."

Ex.1b: Here’s a memo Kavanaugh received in his inbox the day after my staff sent it to me. It represents extensive research on a critical argument that Democrats intended to make. If it were legitimately obtained, why would Miranda tell Kavanaugh it’s not for distribution?
