I represent a woman with credible information regarding Judge Kavanaugh and Mark Judge. We will be demanding the opportunity to present testimony to the committee and will likewise be demanding that Judge and others be subpoenaed to testify. The nomination must be withdrawn.

You know what else isn't helpful Mitch, your insensitivity to women, ethics, morality, due process, your disregard for your oath of office and your lack of respect for the Supreme Court and the Senate you have turned into a partisan kangaroo court. https://t.co/wb0oGTUMrM

Kavanaugh has been trained by entitled experience to believe that he is Teflon, that the woman will be vilified, that his lies are insignificant, that the Bro culture will win again. Which is just another way of saying: he's too oblivious to know he needs to step down now.

Farmers across the U.S. will soon begin receiving government checks as part of a billion-dollar bailout to buoy growers experiencing financial strain from President Trump's trade disputes with China.

Monday’s TELEGRAPH: Cabinet now backs Canada Brexit deal #tomorrowspaperstoday pic.twitter.com/SjJQ47qoMB

Canadian option would be damaging to UK in many ways, but it at least recognizes the Merkel rule: you can't leave the EU and also stay in it.

Did you know that Bruce Springsteen donated $20,000 to the Durham miners support group? He gave this cheque while in our region in 1985, providing much-needed financial and moral support for striking miners and their families.
