The #KavanaughSCOTUS hearings start today.
I've seen MANY people express frustration, and trolls posing as progressive far left are bashing Schumer & Senate Dems.
Dems can't stop this confirmation.
Here's why, and what WE need to do. #TuesdayThoughts THREAD 1/6

🙋♂️ Why don't Dems just not show up? Then the senate can't vote on the confirmation!
👩🏫 There are easy procedural ways around that, esp. after McCain’s replacement is named (will be sooner than later if Dems try no-show). They could slow it down by hours - not weeks. 2/6

🙋♀️ Dems gave in too easily! Why didn't they fight back?
👨🏫 They did - they filibustered & insisted on roll call votes for some controversial candidates, which passed.
As the minority, there isn't much else they can do. 📰goo.gl/Dxkejr 3/6

Dear #MAGA+#TrumpTrain
36,914 American soldiers died fighting communism in Korea
58,220 American soldiers died fighting communism in Vietnam
Putin embraces the totalitarian ways of Russia's past
Trump AND EVERY DAMN ONE OF YOU are insulting and disrespecting both those

lived through hell, and those who died.
You disrespect the families of those whose loved ones served
2.7 million Americans served in Vietnam 10% of a generation
5.7 million Americans served during the Korean War
Over 8 MILLION gave it all to fight communist totalitarianism

But yet you MOCK a real hero like @SenJohnMcCain who served in that fight and follow a joke boy scout like #CadetBoneSpurs
You and your Trump are NOTHING but cowards and traitors following a man committing treason
You are boot lickers to Putin
Putin is NOT our friend!

It's likely that #45 names his nomination to replace Kennedy on the SCOTUS tomorrow. Amongst the Democratic leadership & grassroots activists there is agonizing about what is to be done: put up a fight and recognize @SenateDems have no direct means to stop it OR > 1/ #SCOTUS
…fight tooth & nail to postpone until after the election by dragging enough GOP votes to block this. I want to be clear: I believe this appointment is a pivotal one in US and World history, so I come down squarely on the side of fighting it. 2/ #SCOTUS
Before I explain, let me acknowledge & give respect to some excellent arguments put forward to fight a good fight but acknowledge the inevitable, ... /3 #SCOTUS
Seeing The @GOP @HouseGOP @SenateGOP @SenateMajLdr @SpeakerRyan let criminal @realDonaldTrump violate the rule of law and pardon friends without objection is the SAME THING as @NYPDCT handing #ISIL guns & ammo and letting them shoot up @TimesSquareNYC #IllegitimatePresident (1)
One has to wonder why in the face of this obvious corruption of @realDonaldTrump and the open conspiracy with @KremlinRussia_E, the @GOP stays silent. Could this be the reason? dallasnews.com/opinion/commen… (2)
Can it be that @DevinNunes @RepMattGaetz @Jim_Jordan @RepSteveChabot @LouieGohmertTX1 @DanaRohrabacher are actually actively receiving money from @KremlinRussia_E friendly Oligarchs? #Mueller (3)

There’s an old saying. ‘You are known by the company you keep.’
So, who has Trump’s fixer been keeping company with throughout his career?
Here’s a look at just some of the close, personal company that Michael Cohen keeps. 1/22

Getting @realDonaldTrump elected wasn't Russia's main goal.
Russia's bigger goal has always been to create chaos and distrust within American society.
They want Americans to distrust the media by not knowing what's real and what's not.
We have 36 Governors up for re-election, 26 controlled by the GOP.
With this left swing, lets meet the Democratic Challengers in all 26 states.

Arizona is a true toss up state. Current Governor Doug Ducey is running, he squeaked by with just 53% last time.

Arkansas incumbent Asa Hutchinson is seeking re-election.
He won with 56% last time, well within the #BlueWave target.
Say hello to Jared Henderson @JaredforGov
Be sure to follow Jared and maybe throw him a few bucks.

Here is my thread of optimism for #TheStateOfTheResistance – it is easy to let the events get us down, but: We. Are. Mighty. #StrongerTogether. #BlueWave2018 #BluNami #BlueTsunami2018 1/
Reason 1 for optimism: We are all worried about Trump firing Mueller after, perhaps, he first fires Rosenstein. First, he is getting advised NOT to fire Rosenstein. By his own WH, & by many congressional GOP. newsweek.com/rosenstein-tru… 2/
Second, even if he fires Rosenstein, he may have to go through A LOT of DOJ people before he finds anyone willing to fire Mueller. Once you go below Sessions, the appointees like Wray, Rosenstein, are no shrinking violets, & not hardcore Trumpists. 3/
THREAD: Like some foreign dictator, the Republican in the White House will attack the free press today. Here are a few action strategies to flip his negative attacks into positive persistence.
1. Show your support for courageous journalists who #ProtectTheTruth
1. Show your support for courageous journalists who #ProtectTheTruth
2. BECOME A SUBSCRIBER. Whether it’s your local paper or a national publication, subscribe. Show that you value truthful journalism and will pay for it. Support public radio or independent reader-supported operations like @MotherJones motherjones.com/about/support/
3. FUND VICTORY. If we all gave 50 cents to candidates like @IronStache, @KatieHill4CA , and @JanzforCongress every time Trump tweeted, we’d have more than a #BlueWave2018. We’d have a #BlueTsunami2018! Fund victory! Pick a candidate in a tough race and pledge 50 cents per tweet!
