| Revenge shall be mine, murmured Trump after the laughing ceased. |
An audience of world leaders at the United Nations laughed on Tuesday when President Trump boasted of his achievements during his time in office.
"In less than two years, my administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country," Trump said, opening his address to the U.N. General Assembly.
Audience members then began chuckling and the laughs grew louder when Trump said "so true."

𝅘𝅥𝅲𝅘𝅥 Like A Virgin, Touched For The Very First Time 🎵
A CNN panel on Tuesday physically recoiled at Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s claim to have been a virgin throughout high school and college.
After playing a clip from Kavanaugh’s Monday interview on Fox News, several panelists put their heads in their hands while legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin shouted out, “Oh please, God, tell me less!”
Perhaps Brett Kavanaugh was a virgin for many years after high school. But he claimed otherwise in a conversation with me during our freshman year in Lawrance Hall at Yale, in the living room of my suite. - Steve Kantrowitz tweet

Disregarding multiple accusations of sexual misconduct against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, the former chief of staff for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) complained that Democrats are trying to get payback.
Mitch McConnell, who blocked the 1st black POTUS from a SCOTUS vote & knew abt 2nd accuser but tried to ram a vote thru anyway, just called the women liars & said Dems want to 'obstruct & delay.'

Social Security and Medicare benefits could be in jeopardy if House Republicans get their wishes and pass new tax cuts favoring the wealthiest Americans. The House GOP is readying a series of new tax cuts for votes later this week. The centerpiece of these is a bill to make the temporary individual tax cuts in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA) permanent. These cuts disproportionately favor the richest households and blow an ever increasing hole in the budget.
Great report by @theNASEM on securing U.S. elections against foreign interference. Further proof that paper ballots are vital. Many states are pushing back on using paper ballots despite their reliability, but elections are essential to our democracy, and we have to protect them. - Sen. Dianne Feinstein
