Bernie Sanders: “Donald Trump is the most dangerous president in the history of this country. He’s an authoritarian, he’s a kleptocrat, he’s corrupt, he has gotten us into a horrible war. My job as a senator is to do everything I can to fight back against those disastrous policies”
El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"

… Senators John Cornyn and Thom Tillis both served up lame excuses today as they voted to pass AG nominee Todd Blanche out of the Judiciary Committee on a straight 12-10 party line vote.

Awww….That idiot (aka Putain de Merde) in the White House missed the legal deadline for screwing up birthright citizenship. I liked the cartoon. I don’t care who boots him out of our country.
Susan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.
I’m old enough to remember when lying about adultery was worthy of impeachment. Feels quaint at this point.
Any Senator who votes to confirm Todd Blanche is also siding with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell – and is actively participating in covering-up their numerous and heinous crimes.
You could grow a spine and do your damn jobs.

11 years ago today, Ken Paxton surrendered at the Collin County Jail on felony securities fraud charges. This is his mugshot.
So Tillis and Cornyn thought the 1.8. Billion dollar slush fun was so bad, that they will be willing to confirm the guy who came up with it. Huh
Two senators on their way out the door. Nothing left to lose. Total leverage. And they traded it for a memo. A piece of paper. Cornyn and Tillis folded like lawn chairs, and everybody knew they would. Again.
