    Brett Kavanaugh will be able to shape the trajectory of our nation for generations. He supports laws that attack workers, women, immigrants and people of color. These cannot be the laws of our land. Judge Kavanaugh must be stopped.

    This is the story to read about activist pressure on Susan Collins right now. Hint: it's enormous, and growing.

    Mike Pence, America’s most titanic fraud and quisling is disappointed in Barack Obama talking to the American People about the assault on our democracy being led by the man for whom Pence’s slobbering servility knows no bounds. I wonder what it would take for Trump to disappoint

    Aw.... Imagine how disappointed Jesus is to have people who call themselves Christians tearing children away from their mothers.

    Next time you enjoy radishes in your salad, remember the farmworkers like these Oxnard workers, who harvest the food that we eat.

    . this is a great thread, man.

    1/Tucker Carlson's question - "How is diversity our strength?" was not asked in good faith, but for purposes of racist demagoguery. But I will try to answer it in good faith, because it's an important question in its own right.

    With less than 2 months until Election Day, we can't succumb to cynicism or put our heads in the sand. We must make sure November 6 is a total repudiation of Donald Trump and all he stands for.

    Jarring contrast of two different Californias on Page 1 of Sunday . The super rich Gettys et al in San Francisco giving to liberal lion Gavin Newsom, next Victorville, where many homeowners still under water and anxious 10 years after the housing crash.

    False equivalence. They tried marketing "fake news" for the left and it wasn't profitable enough because people kept fact-checking it and then stopped sharing it when it was debunked. There's a fringe-left that goes for it, whereas it's mainstream on the right.

    I fear we’re headed toward a place where hefty majorities of both sides of the electorate are going to regularly embrace unsupported and blatantly false assertions. Technological fragmentation of media enabled it, and siloed fan-servicing media practices are accelerating it...

    Kavanaugh chooses his words very carefully, and this is a dog whistle for going after birth control. He was nominated for the purpose of taking away a woman’s constitutionally protected right to make her own health care decisions. Make no mistake - this is about punishing women.

    Untruthful testimony, under oath and on the record.

    Judge Brett Kavanaugh should be deeply embarrassed at the way he has arrived at the doorstep of the Supreme Court. He won't be.

    A 17-year-old was “escorted to a back room” and held by police and Secret Service for 10 minutes....for not looking enthusiastic at the president’s political rally?

    The unenthusiastic “plaid shirt guy” at the Montana Trump rally was detained and IDed by police and the Secret Service after being removed from the bleachers and then escorted out of the arena.

    Kavanaugh refers to birth control in the landmark Hobby Lobby case as “abortion inducing drugs.” This is horrifying to hear from a Supreme Court nominee. Plan B disrupts ovulation but does not destroy a fertilized embryo. Contraception is NOT abortion.

    Buried in this piece on Sheryl is a previously-unreported bombshell: Facebook knew about the Russian disinfo campaign DURING the 2016 election, but didn't take action because of organizational dysfunction.

    ... and these four instances may only be the tip of the iceberg, because 93% of Kavanaugh's White House records are being withheld from the public until after Senate votes on confirming him to the Supreme Court for life.

    If the president won’t even answer Mueller’s questions in writing, it means that he cannot without exposing unlawful behavior. This approach has gone on long enough and the nation deserves answers. Subpoena Trump and determine once and for all whether he is indeed above the law.
