Heitkamp, Donnelly, and McKaskill did the right thing in voting against that scumbag, rapist judge.

That took an act of courage and I applaud them for it. We all always criticize politicians for putting their careers ahead of what's right and these three chose not to do that in this instance. And yet, unbelievably, I see some complaining that they should have done the opposite. Fuck that noise. If giving a lying, embarrassing piece of shit a lifetime pass to the Supreme Court is what is takes to keep your seat, then it wasn't worth it.

Thank you, Senators. Thank you for standing up for basic human decency.

which way they voted. They were done, one way or the other. I respect them for their vote. 👍🏻

those Senate seats come up for contention again? We need to start now to get some rising Dem stars in each of those States to retake those seats. What are the plans?
