According to @HallieJackson on MSNBC, the White House is telling reporters that Trump’s slanderous mocking of a sexual assault survivor was the turning point for getting Kavanaugh confirmed, by stoking white male resentment of women.
Just like the Founders envisioned.
I'm heartbroken again.
So much heartbreak since 2016.
Thank you @SenDonnelly, @lisamurkowski and @SenatorHeitkamp for standing up for what is right. At least I can tell my children that.
“You are a coward!” a protester yelled in the Senate as Sen. Flake voted in favor of Judge Kavanaugh's confirmation.
“Shame! We won’t forget," a protester yelled when Sen. Manchin announced his "yes" vote.
But that temperament is partially what got Trump elected. His base likes the anger and mocking. And I think now, that they planned that for Kavanaugh. And he delivered. No judge would think that would be the right way to act. And it speaks to how beholden he is to Trump Russia.
@TopherSpiro@JeffFlake Wow. He and @SenatorCollins etc convinced themselves or were forced to say he is innocent or at least, not proven guilty. But to put this one man (when literally so many others could be nominated) over MILLIONS of women is... indefensible and immoral.
A Marion Superior Court judge has ordered Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb’s office to turn over emails and documents related to efforts by former Gov. Mike Pence, President-elect Donald Trump and Carrier Corp. to save jobs at the local factory.

My latest for @damemagazine reminds us to keep the parents separated from their children at the border in the public eye. Further human rights abuses, including predatory adoptions, are highly likely if they slip from the headlines.

READ these full, new threads about Judge Kavanaugh’s veracity problem. I’ve pulled it all together and summarized it here. With so much at stake in this lifetime appointment, the American people, and the Senate, need to know.
One of my favorites from #PresidentialAlert
The irony... if Obama did this, we'd be seeing videos of #MAGA folks burning or shooting their phones all day 😑
