It's infuriating, but here's where we are:
McConnell won't call a vote on the House-passed bills to reopen the government because he knows they will pass the Senate too. And Republicans' #1 priority isn't ending the shutdown, it's staying on Trump's good side.
A federal oversight agency has just confirmed that the total number of children who were separated from their parents by this Administration remains unknown. Secretary Nielsen must be held accountable for this cruel negligence. I'll say it again: she must resign immediately.
This is not okay, not normal. That the witness intimidation continues while hundreds of thousands of honest public servants are without pay moves it from just outrageous to unconscionable. Can Republicans hear the past asking, “At long last, have you left no sense of decency?”

Hmmmm...
Would that include an audio tape in which the man accused boasts of sexual assault? Or maybe if a woman can provide an explicit description of the man’s body-parts?
🏛️In an extremely brave move last week, U.S. Senator Heidi Heitkamp stood up for #Democrats and survivors of sexual assault and rape by voting "No" on Brett Kavanaugh.
😡Unfortunately, she is facing backlash in her conservative state, #NorthDakota

This whole 4-minute clip is worth watching. Kamala Harris grills FBI Director Chris Wray on the Kavanaugh supplemental background investigation, Wray confirms that the investigation was "limited in scope" by the White House. (via CSPAN)
"At this deeply divided, highly polarized moment, you have reminded me that before we are Republicans or Democrats or independents, we are Texans. We’re Americans. We are human beings. And we’re going to start acting that way." #TeamBeto
