Ok, all. It's officially Wednesday, so here's what's next w/ #Kavanaugh.
1. The FBI investigation will likely be concluded today. The report will likely be filed (TBD) w/o an interview Dr. Ford, or classmates listed by Deborah Ramirez, and no Julie Swetnick.
E.g. A story covering how the FBI won't interview Dr. Ford. cnbc.com/2018/10/02/fbi…
In other words, we can hope for the best when it comes to the investigation, but we're mostly likely going to get the worst.
McConnell is currently praising the integrity of Chuck Grassley, and letting loose on Senate Democrats.
Is also criticizing the veracity of Dr. Ford's story, and trying to paint her as unreasonable for having accommodation requests.

Per @RonanFarrow@JaneMayerNYer, Senate Democrats are investigating a new allegation of sexual misconduct against Kavanaugh. It's from a Yale classmate of Kavanaugh's.
Please make the time to read this and CALL YOUR SENATORS. (202) 224-3121

This final paragraph is key. We have to vigorously support and defend Deborah Ramirez, just like Dr. Ford. We've seen how the GOP has tried to smear Dr. Ford, and they're going to do the same here.
She has to know we believe her, and support her for speaking up.

Periodic reminder:
Kevin Cramer is running for Heidi Heitkamp's seat in North Dakota. Polls have been close, and some have shown him winning.
He can't be let onto the US Senate. Period. Defend Heitkamp's seat.
Please do not electeds who don't represent you. There are better ways to be effective, other than tying up lines for actual constituents.
You can:
✔️ Encourage friends/family/coworkers in those states to call
✔️ Donate to groups protesting
✔️ Volunteer for candidates challenging those incumbents, etc.
Your impact is greater encouraging activism from your personal circle and asking them to pay it forward, vs. you calling every senator and having your calls disregarded.

In #SCOTUS news: Susan Collins is now complaining the CrowdPac fundraiser against her is a "bribe".
But the ones I've listed are the most urgent races.

Ok, all - it's Sunday afternoon/Sunday evening. Now is the perfect time to leave some voicemails for your Senators.
To start:
1. Here's a recap on four days of #Kavanaugh/#SCOTUS testimony. pbs.org/newshour/polit…2. Kavanaugh said a LOT of disturbing, unsettling things across his three days in front of Senate Judiciary. All of them matter, but (imo) it's perjury which can persuade GOP senators.
Day four of #Kavanaugh hearings, all. Remember, today’s about the witness testimony. Live link and full witness list here: judiciary.senate.gov/meetings/nomin…
Remember: don’t forget to follow Jackson and his mom @AnnaKrukCorbin. Jackson is testifying as a Senate Dems witness, on behalf of those with preexisting conditions.
