Imagine if Biden had raped a woman.
Or Obama.
Or Bush.
Or Bill Freaking Clinton.
Not only would it be the lead story — they’d be impeached. Immediately. And it would be bipartisan.
Booker: If you want to see the true character of a man, don't view him in adversity, give him power. I believe you've had a lot of power. And so we don't have to speculate about what has been revealed with your time in that office. This isn't a confirmation hearing. This is more of a performance review.
And clearly, when it comes to the treatment of Epstein victims, when it comes to politically motivated prosecutions, when it comes from avoiding appearance of impropriety with corporations, you failed.
You're asking this this body for a promotion, and you've spent today making a lot of promises, promises to follow the law, promises to be independent, promises to serve the American people and not the president. But we don't need your promises. We have your record.
We have watched you exercise one of the greatest powers entrusted to any public servant. And what have you shown us? 1200 victims waiting for justice. What have you shown us? There's two prosecutions. While the party, while the people involved. The victims are waiting for action, one of the people prosecuted gets the most cushy arrangement possible. After you visit with her again and again. You seem to be favoring the interest of a president and the powerful.
This is why your nomination should fail.
The CDC tracked Cyclospora for 28 years. RFK Jr. made that surveillance optional.
Now thousands of Americans are sick and we don't know where the outbreak began.
Who saw this coming? Anyone who believes in science.
Americans are paying the price for his reckless incompetence.
Donald Trump who is on tape with Georgia asking for 11,780 votes because he knows he lost. Is going to lie about Democrats committing voter fraud in Georgia. I am sick and tired of this country allowing him to live out his delusions.
It was a simple question: “Can you think of any laws that give government the power to make decisions about the male body?”
He couldn’t.
Because there aren’t.
The entire country learned the name “Kamala Harris” after this floor-wiping exchange with Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh in 2018.
“Um, I’m happy to answer a more specific question,” he responded.
“Male versus female,” Harris clarified.
“There are medical procedures?”
“That the government has the power to make a decision about a man’s body?”
“I thought you were asking about medical procedures that are unique to men,” Kavanaugh said.
Smiling, Harris offers to repeat her original question, getting Kavanaugh to finally admit: “I’m not thinking of any right now, Senator.”
The exchange followed a line of questioning about Roe v. Wade, challenging Kavanaugh on his use of the so-called “Ginsburg Rule” to sidestep inquiries about his stance on abortion rights.
When Kavanaugh — invoking the rule inspired by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg — tried to argue that previous Supreme Court nominees have established a precedent for not opining on specific cases during their own confirmation hearings, Harris pressed him further.
“You also, I’m sure, know Justice Ginsburg said at her confirmation, on the topic of Roe: ‘This is something central to a woman’s life, to her dignity; it’s a decision she should make for herself. And when the government makes that decision for her, she’s being treated as something less than a fully adult human responsible for her own choices,’” Harris quoted. “Do you agree with Justice Ginsburg?”
Harris appeared to make Kavanaugh squirm a bit, but she didn’t manage to eke out an explicit answer from him either: “I have not articulated a position on that,” Kavanaugh told her.
It was in THAT exact moment that Harris showed who SHE was — a tough, no-nonsense leader — and Trump’s nominee did, too — completely unqualified.
🚨 Donald Trump ran for office for three main reasons:
1. To stay out of jail
2. To exact revenge on his enemies
3. To line his pockets and his family’s pockets
Everything else he says is bullshit.
Thumbs up 👍 if you agree.
"Absolutely, Mark — we need accountability and transparency from those in power. ICE's abuses, Trump's erratic actions, and the silence on Epstein's files highlight how broken the system is. Voices like Ruffalo's reflect our collective frustration: enough is enough."
