Hi Miriam,
Thanks for sharing this one. I have my doubts as to whether or not Kavanaugh
assaulted women, but there’s very little doubt that, any way you slice it,
Kavanaugh is one no good SOB.

There are thousands of pages of documents relating to Brett Kavanaugh’s role in
torture and mass surveillance still hidden from the public, but the Senate
plans to vote to confirm him this afternoon nonetheless, another step in the
march toward minority rule.

His work for the Bush administration is not incidental to his career, and was
fundamental to his confirmation. Both Susan Collins and Kavanaugh are honorary
members of the Bush family, and they stuck together through the storm.

Here’s my story, with Akela Lacy, about how Bush family ties powered Trump’s
nominee through.
I did a video dispatch for TYT shortly after the vote, with Michael Shure,
exploring that theme.

How much rage is there at Susan Collins? Ady Barkan launched a novel
fundraising campaign against her several weeks ago.

First reported by The Intercept, it raised small dollar donations that would
only be triggered if Collins voted yes. By Friday afternoon, when she hit the
Senate floor, it was approaching $2 million. The site crashed as she spoke,

her Democratic opponent in 2020. By the time you read this, it

99,998. That’s a ton of people.)
Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi is still being held by Saudi Arabia,
which is bizarrely claiming they don’t know where he is. I spoke with Sens.
Chris Van Hollen and Chris Murphy about the situation yesterday, and they
called it “absolutely unacceptable” and “outrageous.”
Van Hollen specifically called out the foreign policy intelligentsia (the
columnists, fellows and think-tank folks who make up the foreign policy
establishment) which bought into -- or, perhaps more accurately, were bought
into -- the notion that Mohammed bin Salman ought to become Crown Prince so
that he could reform the nation. They own this, he said, and have a
responsibility to help free their fellow columnist. “I think a lot of people
have been played by the current Saudi leadership, and they need to demand his
release right away,” he told me. “You also see the same play with women’s
rights. They do a press release, and the next day they’re threatening to lock
people up.”
The Post on Friday ran a blank space where his column should have been.

Van Hollen is right about the driving hypocrisy:
