Furious about Kavanaugh? Don’t just sit there. We need your power. The truth is, there’s a LOT you can do. We may only have four days until the final vote, and your voice is needed now. This is a thread about what’s coming, and how you can help. Please follow along and share. 1/
What's next with Kavanaugh? On Wednesday, McConnell sets wheels in motion by filing for cloture. Senate rules require an intervening day before cloture vote—so that vote will be Friday. Then 30 hours of debate & final confirmation vote as soon as Saturday night. Time is SHORT.
What about the FBI report? WSJ says it could end by Wed. Many potential corroborating witnesses won't be interviewed—nor Dr. Blasey Ford, nor Kavanaugh. Once background report is updated, only Senators will get to see it. Don't bet on it to end this fight.

Here’s what I just shared with @GMA: Maria and I wanted @JeffFlake to hear our pain. Both of us said: we’re going to make him hear our stories. /1
The history of this country is one of people struggling to be included. /2
That interaction @JeffFlake had with Maria and I was significant, but it was only significant because thousands of people had come forward to tell their stories and take risks for this country. #StopKavanaugh #ElevatorWomen /3
Organizer kicking off #BeAHero rally in Bristol, Vermont, asks why there needs to be another military branch devoted to space when Americans don’t have health care. @MariInTheHouse, @AdyBarkan and @SenSanders scheduled to speak soon. 
Not sure I’ve seen this before: @MariInTheHouse, nurse running for state rep, introduces her three rivals for Dem primary and lets them each plug their campaign pages. Says she “feels like I have three new brothers.”
Now @AdyBarkan speaking. Apologizes for his difficulty because of ALS (and after intense #BeAHero tour). Calls for universal health care - gets round of applause.
It’s been a long day. 20 hours of poignant conversations with journalists, parents, and activists about the state of our nation and our prospects for stopping this cruel bill. But I want to talk about my wife, @rachael_scar . And about women. In America. In 2017.
Her name is Rachael Scarborough King. She is a professor of English Literature at the University of California, Santa Barbara. And she is Carl’s mother.
We started dating senior year of college. We had worked together at the campus rag, @ColumbiaSpec. Within weeks, I felt like we were already settled into a long-term relationship. We just fitted.
