NEW: Is the Supreme Court confirmation process irreparably broken? Some senators say yes. Jackson is on track for a narrow win that masks how bad things have gotten. Senators worry it’ll get worse. Some fear constitutional crisis. from me & @frankthorp: https://t.co/BZAcIFCKDP — PolitiTweet.org

The US is adding jobs and unemployment is falling. So why is economic dissatisfaction so high? Here's a hint: Real disposable personal income has been falling since mid-2021 when Biden's ARP stimulus cash dried up. https://t.co/w65kD0C7gy — PolitiTweet.org

The KBJ sentencing record Graham cites was public record when he voted "yes" to confirm her to the DC Circuit last year. The other element of Graham's mindset, which he hasn't hid in recent weeks, is anger that Biden didn't pick his preferred contender, SC's J. Michelle Childs. — PolitiTweet.org
