NBC News notes that Kavanaugh told the Judiciary Committee under oath that the 1st time he heard about Deborah Ramirez's allegation was in the New Yorker article. These text messages would seem to refute that timeline, if accurate. https://t.co/mA7QxIbnt2

In a 2015 speech, Brett Kavanaugh said that a judge must keep “emotions in check” and not be a “political partisan.”

The press as a "resistance" to President Trump? @Greenfield64 brought this up on Sunday's @ReliableSources. In this column, @Sulliview responds: "It's not resistance, it's reporting." https://t.co/gZS4mQN110

A more dangerous or toxic political partnership than the Conservatives & DUP would be hard to find.

The NI of 2018 is not the NI of 1998 or even 2016.

DUP never signed up to GFA and Tories are happy for it to be collateral.Brexit is destroying NI thanks to DUP & Tories #Brexit https://t.co/90KOLBwbhW

Yes, Mr. President, it is horrible that you "fell in love" with one of the most brutal dictators in the world today. Its worse than horrible. Its sick. As a proud American, your words about "falling in love" with any world leader, let alone KJU, embarrass me. Stop it. https://t.co/zSzbN5dISS
