HF 813, an expansion to Iowa's charter school law, is scheduled for subcommittee tomorrow afternoon. Write your state senator about innovation in your public schools and ask them to Vote NO on HF 813. #IowaPublicSchoolPride #VoteNoHF813 actionnetwork.org/letters/vo…

Pretty sweeping, damning indictment of the Republican-controlled Congress in the @DMRegister’s endorsement of every Democratic congressional candidate #IA01 #IA02 #IA03 #IA04 buff.ly/2Oohlon

This clip struck me as especially telling:
Durbin: Will you support an FBI investigation, right now?
Kavanaugh: I will do whatever the committee wants to do.
Durbin: Personally, do you think that's the best thing for us to do?
Kavanaugh: **silence**

16/ For the good of the country, and for the future of an independent judicial branch free from politics, we urge you to resign as Chair of the Committee on Judiciary immediately. #BelieveSurvivors #StopKavanaugh
ADA Iowa retweeted
15/ After the events of the past few weeks, we have lost all confidence you can lead the Judiciary Committee without tainting this and any subsequent nomination process with politics. #BelieveSurvivors #StopKavanaugh

14/ The nomination process of a Supreme Court nominee is not about you personally, but it is about whether Americans have confidence in your leadership. #BelieveSurvivors #StopKavanaugh

13/ Finally, in the face of mounting criticism about your handling of this process, you claimed the role of victim not for Dr. Blasey Ford, but for yourself. #BelieveSurvivors #StopKavanaugh bit.ly/2Ijw5P6

12/ Your staff has behaved in a wholly inappropriate manner, sending tweets that indicate bias that would compromise their investigation, as well as needing to resign due to their own misconduct allegations. #BelieveSurvivors #StopKavanaugh usat.ly/2QQs9sU
ADA Iowa retweeted
11/ Once the allegation was made public, you rejected past precedent, and refused a request for the FBI to investigate further, instead relying on your staff to investigate. #BelieveSurvivors #StopKavanaugh washex.am/2IkUyU8

10/ You & your staff had knowledge of the allegation prior to it becoming public, & prepared a defense for the nominee while speeding through the nomination process with the hope it would never be uncovered. #BelieveSurvivors #StopKavanaugh bit.ly/2NIYO63

9/ You have publicly bullied a woman who has stepped forward to report allegations of sexual assault. #BelieveSurvivors #StopKavanaugh bit.ly/2zzRFME

8/ In recent days your failed leadership has once again been on full display. #BelieveSurvivors #StopKavanaugh
ADA Iowa retweeted
7/ You have moved away from other committee practices, speeding up the process for nominees making it harder to thoroughly vet them, and by de-emphasizing the ratings provided by the American Bar Association. #BelieveSurvivors #StopKavanaugh bit.ly/2OjZ8r6

6/ While you used the blue slip process of giving deference to home state Senators to block nominees made by President Obama, you have ripped up that precedent to further steamroll nominees of President Trump. #BelieveSurvivors #StopKavanaugh politi.co/2iop0kq
ADA Iowa retweeted
5/ Your tenure as Chair began with unprecedented obstruction of judicial nominations put forward by President Obama, including the hearings that never occurred for Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland. #BelieveSurvivors #StopKavanaugh
ADA Iowa retweeted
4/ Your actions have threatened the independent nature of the judiciary, a bedrock institution that must provide a check on the executive and legislative branches in order for our democracy to thrive. #BelieveSurvivors #StopKavanaugh
ADA Iowa retweeted
3/ There are many of us who have expressed public disagreement with your decisions in the past, but this goes beyond simply disagreeing with your stance on a nominee or a policy position. #BelieveSurvivors #StopKavanaugh
ADA Iowa retweeted
2/ We are organizations & leaders from across the country, & have watched with alarm as you have taken the bipartisan institution of the Judiciary Committee & injected partisan politics & misogynistic bullying into its leadership. #BelieveSurvivors #StopKavanaugh

1/ Dear @ChuckGrassley: We, the undersigned, are writing today to request your resignation as Chair of the U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary. #BelieveSurvivors #StopKavanaugh (thread) progia.us/grassleyletter
