Trying to stay sane. Not paid to be here. Here for interesting people & to fight for our Democracy. Swear like a sailor so be forewarned. Soft spot for all animals. If you're expecting "nice" at the expense of my truth, I AM NOT THE ONE TO FOLLOW.

Scoop — I've ID'd the two men sitting behind Sen. Eric Schmitt during his botched attack on Jack Smith this morning. Ethan Harper (left) is Chief Counsel to Schmitt, and Andrew Ceonzo (right) is Counsel to Schmitt and the Senate Judiciary Committee.

I know there are many things we don’t know—and I DO believe in due process—but the info coming out is just horrifying, not just re the gang rape itself (which shocks the conscience) but the institutional lack of care & diligence in the aftermath. She will suffer her whole life, from all of it.

Worse than the men who say “none of my guy friends” are the ones who say “I don’t know a single woman…” If you don’t know a single woman with a story, it’s because you’re not a safe person to tell. Full stop.

You may believe that but it’s not credible. 1 in 2, 3, 4 women you know, but not one man? We don’t live in a country of 175M good guys and one Genghis Khan-level monster running around giving the rest a bad rap. 57 men in that group chat. How many Cornell men could truly say they knew none of them?

1 in 2 women are victims of sexual violence. Men: Think back. Every other woman you encountered today has a story. Is it your barista or your uber driver? Which two of your flight attendants? Your admin assistant or the receptionist? The waitress who served your dinner or the sous who cooked it?

Today we were negotiating with opposing counsel. I sent an email: “we don’t consent to your proposal,” and he tried to force his plan on us anyway. My colleague was surprised by my (unapologetically) extreme reaction. Men show women, every day and in so many ways, that consent doesn’t matter.

The House can do as much or as little process as is politically useful in any given case. But if you have the Senate majority and so can control the trial, it's better to go drag it out there where it's a much bigger spotlight.

Congress must restore its control over public funds. I think it should be restructured to be mechanically impossible to spend Federal funds without approval from Congressional committee or eg CBO. But until that happens, deterrence is the only solution.
