    After ransoming a Supreme Court seat for 9 months prior to 2016's election, the GOP wants to force a rushed vote on this nomination—revealing a desire to hide aspects of Kavanaugh's record. This appointment is for life. The stakes are so high. This nomination should be stopped.

    Kavanaugh failed to show respect for Supreme Court precedent. Documents from his past reveal he thinks Roe can be overturned. By stating the Court can always overrule “settled law,” we’re left to wonder what all he'd “unsettle” - from the ACA to marriage equality to so much more.

    Kavanaugh failed to show he'll be an independent check against unlawful action by a President. He would not say whether a President must comply with subpoenas. He would not say whether a President could pardon himself. He would not decry scorched-earth attacks on law enforcement.

    After meeting with him, reviewing his record, and watching his hearing, Judge Kavanaugh has clearly failed to show he would be an independent check against executive power. He would threaten Supreme Court precedent on women's health, marriage equality, and more. I will vote no.

    No, not knowing who the good guys are and who the bad guys are at a neo-Nazi rally is the "biggest ____ing mistake."

    My colleagues on the Judiciary Committee are right: Senators have been denied thousands upon thousand of documents to help understand more about Brett Kavanaugh's record and beliefs. Jamming this hearing through with so much unanswered is wrong.

    On , remember why we have this day “off” and what we’re celebrating. Unions are essential to protecting workers’ rights—and when workers are strong, the economy is strong. Now more than ever, we need to focus on raising wages and ensuring opportunity for ALL.

    How many millions did the deficit-busting Trump tax cut put into his own pockets? But it’s federal employees who are hurting our fiscal situation? 🤔

    I wrote to the International Trade Commission to oppose these tariffs, which would’ve placed yet another burden on local newspapers. We’ve seen enough cutbacks to the news Americans need most in recent years, so I’m glad these got stopped.

    Looking through my phone, I just came across this photo with John McCain in 2015 at the Western Wall in Jerusalem. One of many great memories traveling this wide world with John. A true internationalist, he understood we are strong at home when we are moral leaders globally.

    I already miss my friend John McCain. A maverick. A model of strength in Vietnam. A champion of servicemembers, campaign finance reform and many other causes. His voice loomed large, was almost always desperately needed, and will be sorely absent in the times to come. Rest easy.
