Let me be clear. You’re a disgrace. I am glad that you’re finally done. Intelligence needs better people than you. Good riddance.

 

In 1993, Trump, then a failed casino owner, unsuccessfully lobbied McCain outside the Senate: "Frustrated, Trump shouted after him, 'I gave money to your campaign.' Looking over his shoulder, McCain yelled back, 'Oh yeah? See what that will get you.'"

 

QAnon is tearing families apart

 

Trump’s children brought Secret Service money to the family business with their visits, records show

 

Klobuchar: "This is not Donald Trump's country -- it is yours. This should not be Donald Trump's judge. It should be yours."

 

Good that they’re so committed to vote, a shame they have to wait so long. I haven’t seen this in any other country I’ve lived in.

 

Amy Klobuchar says the American people are the only thing that can alter Barrett's hearings: "It is you calling Republican senators and telling them enough is enough, telling them it is personal, telling them they have their priorities wrong. So do it"

 

It does not feel like these people are taking the virus seriously, even now.

 

GOP Sen. Mike Lee, who tested positive for COVID-19 10 days ago, is attending the Amy Coney Barrett hearings in person and does not wear a mask during his opening statement

 

Today Republicans break the promise they made in 2016 and start confirmation hearings for a Supreme Court justice in an election year. Apparently they don't care about getting caught lying to our faces. They care about getting to take away health care. Our new ad:

 

Senator Lee is not wearing a mask even though he could still be contagious

 

Ted Cruz, who is speaking remotely, welcomes a ACB’s “beautiful children,” who are *in the room* with senators who have tested positive for Covid

 

Did Lindsey Graham really just say, “a lot of people on our side say, ‘just ram it through’”?

 

To everyone who is barely hanging onto their homes, who has lost a loved one to COVID-19, who has no way to pay the bills: know that instead of voting to provide relief you desperately need, Senate Republicans today are choosing to hold a hearing to confirm a judge.

Billionaire Leon Black wired Mr. Epstein at least $50 million in the years after Mr. Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting prostitution from a teenage girl, the @NYTimes reports, citing docs and interviews.

 

Ooh, Kushner’s friend Leon Black of Apollo is going to go through some things - as will the rest of private equity. But this looks...bad.

 

Amy Coney Barrett is wearing a mask. Lindsey Graham is not. (Follow for a video thread of Coney Barrett's confirmation hearing.)

 

How did Brett Kavanaugh and his wife afford their $1.22m home in tony Chevy Chase? How did they come up with the $240k down payment?

 

Congress asked the IRS to report on why it audits the poor more than the affluent. Its response is that it doesn’t have enough money and people to audit the wealthy properly. So it’s not going to

 

Confirmation hearing for Supreme Court nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett (Day 1)

 

One person is endorsed by Scientific American & New England Journal of Medicine, and several former presidents. The other guy is endorsed by white supremacists, Taliban warlords, and Qanon. But some people still say they’re the same. #vote

 

Dianne Feinstein is leading all 10 Senate Judiciary Democrats in calling on the Justice Department to provide missing materials from Amy Coney Barrett's questionnaire. "Please immediately provide an explanation for the omission of these materials."

Trump is in debt. We can’t ignore the national security risks that come with that.

 

Remember when William Burck withheld thousands of documents from Brett Kavanaugh’s tenure as Staff Secretary, and Lindsey Graham was apoplectic over Kavanaugh’s treatment during his confirmation hearing? Lindsey’s principal campaign committee received $10,000 from Burck.

The latest @realDonaldTrump campaign ad using Dr. Fauci’s comments out of context is pathetic. I witnessed the President & WH leadership repeatedly disrespect Dr. Fauci & ignore his advice, leading to POTUS’s colossal failure of a pandemic response. @TimMurtaugh HOW DARE YOU.

Serious conflicts of interest: Judge Barrett must immediately pledge to recuse herself from decisions on the Affordable Care Act and the 2020 election.

 

Trump is in debt. We can’t ignore the national security risks that come with that: Betrayal of one’s country is a crime that has complex psychological underpinnings, money is a leading motivator. Paying off unsustainable debts drives an interest in money.

 

“We all had a conviction that there are millions of Republicans who look at this debacle and reject it,” says former Republican strategist Steve Schmidt about co-founding the Lincoln Project and trying to turn Republicans against President Trump.

It’s time Democrats started looking behind the curtain of the Republican special-interest Court-packing scheme. They’ve been at it for years. We’ve been asleep at the wheel.

 

The Nobel Prize in economics was awarded for “improvements to auction theory and inventions of new auction formats.” It comes as much of the world experiences the worst recession since World War II because of the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
