.@jwpetersNYT: this undercuts this mythology around Trump as a self-made man, and he not only had one trust fund according to reporting here of our colleague, but three trust funds, and loan after loan after loan from his father, and many of which were never repaid. #AMR

How many times does someone have to lie to you, before you no longer believe what they say?

@JeffMerkley @janiszilly When one is taking an oath to office, there’s no such thing as a small lie under oath. #StopKavanaugh

Even during the heat of campaign season, we pause for a moment to remember Sen. Dorothy Hukill, who lost her battle with cancer today. May her family & community take strength from her many years of service.

"Next year will be 2019. It will mark 400 years since the first slaves touched the soil in this country. That’s 400 years of systemic oppression."

President Trump has sold himself as a self-made billionaire but a Times investigation found that he received more than $400 million from his father’s empire, much of it through dubious tax schemes during the 1990s, including instances of outright fraud. https://t.co/CciVkq5mDU

SUCH a magical moment 💞

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

The ACLU typically stays neutral about Supreme Court nominees. It didn’t with Kavanaugh. https://t.co/0rxntY3v4L

[Deb @dbot39]

@washingtonpost He lied under oath. He’s hostile when challenged, highly bias to the point of public visceral hatred of an entire political party, and yeah he seems to not have the ability to hold his beer without flinging himself at women. #StopKavanaugh

[Laurence Tribe 🇺🇦 ⚖️ @tribelaw]

A federal court has just ruled that the third of our lawsuits challenging Trump’s ongoing violations of the Constitution’s main anti-corruption clauses, the Emoluments Clauses, should go forward. Less dramatic than the rest of today’s news, but really big

"I'm not saying he's guilty as charged, but he was unhinged ... there was more rage there than anything else." @NinaTotenberg on Kavanaugh's testimony. #Hardball

"He became belligerent, abusive, defiant, defensive." @RepJayapal on Kavanaugh's testimony. #Hardball

We are about to see something we have not seen in an age in this nation. The women are waking, and they will find that they are far stronger than men know. The old ways are melting away and taking with then the last dregs of male privilege.

The age of women is at hand.

[Deb @dbot39]

@realAliTweets @janiszilly He’s tainted and complicated. trump hates complications bc they take too long. Give it a couple of days of non stop bad press, trump will pull him.

[Richard W. Painter @RWPUSA]

A second emoluments clause suit proceeds against Trump. This is in addition to the Maryland Attorney General’s success with a similar suit in federal court earlier this year. The walls are closing in.

Judge rules Dems can sue Trump over emoluments clause
