Donald Trump MOCKED a prisoner of war.

He MOCKED a disabled reporter.

He MOCKED a family who lost a son in battle.

And tonight he MOCKED a woman who was sexually assaulted.

Republicans, honestly, where is your basic humanity?

[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

The refusal to call the one person Dr. Ford says witnessed the alleged assault or submit him to a thorough interview is impossible to justify or explain.
It is a willful act of disregard that will stain the process and Judge Kavanaugh for all time.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

Dr. Ford has passed a polygraph test and given the Committee the results. Judge Kavanaugh has not. She has called for outside witnesses to testify. Judge Kavanaugh has not. She called for an FBI investigation. Judge Kavanaugh has not.

[Seth Abramson @SethAbramson]

The Senate Majority Leader just defiantly promised a vote on the lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court of a man who "multiple witnesses" say orchestrated gang rapes of drunk women

Process that

[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

You knew it couldn’t last. He is incapable of restraint. It was only a matter of time before he called the accuser a liar, as he has in every alleged case of sexual assault.

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

Dr Ford reasonably requested FBI bkgd check before she testifies so all the facts come out instead of just 2 conflicting stories w/o a resolution.

GOP delayed Merrick Garland for nearly a yr & now we can’t have short pause to get the facts?Give me a break. What are they hiding?

[Chris Hayes @chrislhayes]

I don’t think bad lawyering is the primary reason the president is in legal trouble.

[Seth Abramson @SethAbramson]

Can someone explain what the rush is to get Kavanaugh on the court in the next 15 days? What makes it *impossible* for the nation's most august deliberative body to conduct even a *cursory* investigation of an allegation of *sexual assault* against a lifetime-appointment nominee?

I admire Apple most for their focus. They don’t have a venture arm. They don’t run incubators or accelerators. They don’t want to host you. They focus on what they do best: making sure you have to replace all your accessories and connectors each time you buy a new Apple product.

.@KamalaHarris is a national treasure. And Kavanaugh is caught up in some deep shit. This is horrifying. #WhatAreTheyHiding #StopKavanaugh

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

You know what makes America great? The Succeeding NY Times doesn't have to listen to @realDonaldTrump. Unlike in Russia or North Korea, the press is not an arm of the government.

The Framers were wise to protect the independent, free press in our United States Constitution.

[ACLU @ACLU]

Yesterday, reports revealed that @realDonaldTrump suggested protesting should be illegal. This morning, he's calling on Congress to make it easier to sue the publishers of unflattering books.

Neither the president nor Congress has the power to override the First Amendment.

[Scott Dworkin @funder]

BREAKING: Senator Blumenthal just called @realDonaldTrump an unindicted co-conspirator during the Kavanaugh hearing. He also proved that Senator Grassley lied about the fact that his staff reviewed the tens of thousands of documents. This whole thing is a fraud. Every part of it.

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

🚨🚨 The Senate was just given an additional 42,000 pages of Kavanaugh documents the NIGHT BEFORE his confirmation hearing. This underscores just how absurd this process is. Not a single senator will be able to review these records before tomorrow.

[Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley]

If we lived in a “more respectful time,” Merrick Garland would be sitting on the Supreme Court.

[ACLU @ACLU]

This is false — and dangerous. Sources often seek anonymity out of fear of retribution or intimidation, which @realDonaldTrump has made absolutely clear he is willing to resort to.

JUST IN: FBI rebuts Trump tweet: “The FBI has not found any evidence the (Clinton) servers were compromised,” an FBI official tells @KenDilanianNBC

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

For folks wondering why @realDonaldTrump is obsessed with @FBI official Bruce Ohr, here is what Mr. Ohr did. He gave information he received about the Steele dossier (which gets more & more corroboration) to FBI officials.

That's what a law enforcement officer is supposed to do.
