It's less of a "news cycle" these days and more of that BSG episode where the Cylons attack every 33 minutes.

Hawaii’s Mazie Hirono now up. Asks Kavanaugh if he’d apply Rice v. Caetano, a 15th Amendment case, to programs benefitting native Hawaiians. He says he’d apply
#SCOTUS precedent but doesn’t directly answer. Hirono sort of accuses him of misstating the holding of Rice case.Show this threadThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -
Hirono up now. She calls his Minnesota Law Review article a "pretty big signal" to the president about how he'd view a criminal investigation into the president.
