- Obama wades into the 2020 race, warning of the dangers of listening to “certain left-leaning twitter feeds” or “the activist wing of our party.” “Even as we push the envelope and we are bold in our vision we also have to be rooted in reality," he said.
- Worth noting: there has *never* been a female GOP senator on the Senate Judiciary committee..@SenateMajLdr: "We have hired a female assistant to go on staff and to ask these questions in a respectful and professional way. We want this hearing to be handled very professionally not a political sideshow..." #Kavanaugh
00:00 - Would be really curious to see an analysis of how often Scalia's nine children -- and how he "managed," "balanced," "juggled" them -- were mentioned during his SCOTUS confirmation hearing.
- Tara Reade tells me she canceled the interview with Fox News because death threats received by her and her child made her nervous about being in the public eye.Big developments since @Morning_Joe interview yesterday: 1.

- Obama's comments were meant to reassure establishment Democrats about the strength of the field. But they also offered an implicit critique of Sanders & Warren, as well as proposals once widely considered to be left to the liberal fringes of the party.Obama wades into the 2020 race, warning of the dangers of listening to “certain left-leaning twitter feeds” or “the activist wing of our party.” “Even as we push the envelope and we are bold in our vision we also have to be rooted in reality," he said. nyti.ms/2CM6Wut
