Why are Republicans bringing up issues that have “little to nothing to do with Judge Jackon’s qualifications”?
“Because she is unquestionably qualified for this position and there was nothing they could say or do…that would squash that undeniable fact,” says @lcylarbarrett.

Poor MAGA Mo Brooks who appears MAGA-less tonight. He’s learning the hard way that the trouble with riding The Donald’s coattails is the former guy might cancel your ride.

By most estimates, Russia has lost more soldiers in Ukraine in 4 weeks than the U.S. lost in Iraq - and Afghanistan - over 2 decades.
"This," says @mehdirhasan, "is what Russia losing looks like."
