I'll say it again: Professor Christine Blasey Ford's story is powerful, credible, and believable. She had nothing to gain and everything to lose by taking an oath and testifying. If Republican Senators believe her, they should ask for a full FBI investigation. Period. #nhpolitics
Attorneys for Dr. Ford have provided 4 sworn declarations from individuals who say Ford told them of the alleged attack years ago. https://t.co/WIZPmgioF0
The simple fact that the Sen. Judiciary Committee set a date for a Kavanaugh vote on Friday shows a complete dismissal of the Ford hearing they've set up for Thursday. Listening to her story includes being open to the implications of it. #nhpolitics#NH01

Exeter is ready to elect Democrats in November! It was great to speak to another excited group of @NHDems volunteers this afternoon who are ready to hit the doors, listen to voters, share our message, and have our voices heard loud and clear. #nhpolitics#NH01
Tuesday's win was delivered with a great field effort led by @colleenhodgetts, and executed by @BrandonCKatz, @DannyOLearyNH, @shaun_spinney, & Team Pappas fellows!
More proof that knocking on doors & talking to neighbors wins elections. #nhpolitics#NH01 https://t.co/43ieisxKh2
10 months of hard work all comes down to tomorrow. From the bottom of my heart, thanks to @TeamPappasNH and all our incredible supporters.
With 24 hours until the first polls close, let's finish strong, deliver a win, and make history. #nhpolitics#NH01#HometownHustle

Don’t forget, this is the same President Trump who saw no difference between white supremacists in Charlottesville and the citizens protesting their hateful ideology. #SOTU
There is very compelling evidence that President Trump obstructed justice, yet the GOP continues to abet his lawless presidency. That is the state of our union. #SOTU https://t.co/gMSki2QiIZ
