BREAKING: The Senate just confirmed extremist nominee Michael Brennan to a permanent seat on the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals on a party-line vote.1/
Brennan is the 1st judicial nom that @ChuckGrassley & @SenateMajLdr have pushed to confirm w/out a blue slip. They advanced Brennan's nomination over the strong objections of WI @SenatorBaldwin, breaking Senate tradition & setting a combative precedent. afj.org/blog/brennan-n… 2/
Brennan holds alarming views on women's, LGBT, & civil rights that make him #UnfitToJudge in a lifetime appointment on one of the highest courts in the US. #CourtsMatter #TrumpJudges afj.org/wp-content/upl… 3/
With their actions today, Senate R’s are crossing a line from which there is no return. Today they get to rubber-stamp Trump’s extreme judges, but in the future their ability to represent their constituents and the institution of the Senate is weakened. 4/4

THREAD: Today, people around the country are fighting tooth and nail to block Kavanaugh from a lifetime seat. TODAY is your best chance to make your voice heard where you live, as part of a nationwide chorus.

Find an event near you here: uniteforjustice2018.com/?source=cap #StopKavanaugh
Trump’s allies in the Senate have made it clear: they want to strip your health care protections, jeopardize #RoevWade, & protect a corrupt, criminally-implicated President.

They’re counting on us not caring enough to stop them, and now’s the chance for us to prove them wrong.
If you care about protections for the 130 million Americans with pre-existing conditions—like Alaskan Colleen Mondor, a small business owner and cancer survivor whose son has diabetes—speak up.

THREAD: Climate change is happening now, and it’s happening to us.

That’s why we need you to be a #ClimateVoter. 🌎
People all across the country are already experiencing the impacts of climate change. People like Kilan, whose neighborhood in Miami is regularly flooded from rising seas.
No matter where you live or what issues you care about, climate change is having an impact. And while it can seem like an overwhelming issue, there’s something we can all do.

We 👏 can 👏 vote. 👏

Yesterday, @maddow reported on leaked audio of @DevinNunes at a closed fundraiser, a window into the culture of corruption & cover-up in the GOP Congress. Key admissions:

1. Despite Nunes’ constant attacks on the special counsel, he admits that collusion IS, in fact, a crime.
@maddow @DevinNunes 2. @DevinNunes is openly selling the House GOP to big donors as crucial to covering up and protecting @realDonaldTrump from the Russia investigation.

"If Sessions won't unrecuse and Mueller won't clear the president, we're the only ones."
@maddow @DevinNunes @realDonaldTrump 3. @DevinNunes considers the Kavanaugh nomination as intertwined with the cover-up in Congress.

With a Member of House Leadership nodding along, he says they're ready to launch a full assault on the investigation—but they want Trump’s hand-picked SCOTUS nominee confirmed first.

ICYMI: @RepDavidEPrice participated in a community forum in Raleigh, NC last night to discuss anti-corruption, pro-voter solutions to lift voices of people over wealthy special interests.

Here are a few highlights from the event. #DemandDemocracy ⬇️ facebook.com/RepDavidEPrice…
.@RepDavidEPrice gave an overview of voter suppression, gerrymandering, & big money in politics. These are non-partisan issues that can be remedied if we #DemandDemocracy.

“The right of people to cast a ballot in NC is under attack. Our state is ground zero for voter suppression. Restrictive voter ID laws erect barriers for people of color, students, & the elderly. Restrictions on early voting, provisional ballots, & so much more.” -@RepDavidEPrice

🚨🚨🚨 The Supreme Court just ruled against workers' rights in the Janus v. AFSCME case.

Neil Gorsuch—Trump's SCOTUS appointment—cast the deciding vote. Read about his history of ruling against workers and what this case means for collective bargaining ⬇️ 1/
Trump appointed Gorsuch to the Supreme Court despite his history of ruling against workers and organized labor while he was a lower court judge. 2/
⁉️As a circuit court judge, Gorsuch wrote an opinion claiming that a truck driver deserved to be fired.

The driver's fireable offense? He abandoned his trailer in sub-zero temperatures to avoid *freezing to death* while he waited for help.

.@EPAScottPruitt is under so many federal investigations and reviews, it’s getting hard to keep track. Right now, he’s at 16. Here’s an (updated) list of the embattled @EPA administrator’s ethical woes. #BootPruitt Thread >> medium.com/@CAPAction/a-g…
Investigations 1 through 10: All of these are under the @EPAoig, looking into actions like @EPAScottPruitt's lavish travel, shady ties with lobbyists, pricey office improvements and security, and condo deal, among other things in Pruitt's #CultureOfCorruption. 💸
#11: @EPAoig is also “reviewing” whether @EPAScottPruitt’s pal Samantha Dravis was collecting an @EPA salary for months while forgetting to do one important thing – come to work. #BootPruitt
