The world doesn’t listen to women…if we did, Clarence Thomas & Brett Kavanaugh would not be Supreme Court justices.
I believed professor Anita Hill.

I just told a friend that instead of outrage or embarrassment, they’ll make sex with young girls legal & call it FINE.
It's not going to change their support, but it will change their mind that pedophilia is a bad thing. I promise we are about to see them suddenly go ham on claiming pedophilia is perfectly okay

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

Democrats have spent the past 30 fucking years insulating the GOP from the political repercussions of the pain they have said REPEATEDLY they want to inflict. And look where it's fucking gotten us (hint: there's a narcissistic deranged fascist in the White House).

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Senate Dems, do not cave. Ensuring healthcare premiums don’t surge is an 80-20 issue. They want to gut the ACA because their disdain for Obama far outweighs their concern for anyone’s health.

And the renovation was carried out by a commission authorized by Congress and staffed with appointees of the president, House and Senate.
The president didn't just ring up a contractor one morning to have them tear things down.
Because it's not the president's goddamn house.
