Stand with Elizabeth Warren -Slow down Trump's "Shock and Awe" cabinet crush. McConnell has said that he will push ahead with confirmation hearings on Tuesday and Wednesday, although most of the nominees have not completed their disclosures on conflicts of interest. This is a break with longstanding cabinet hearing tradition, and directly contradicts what McConnell asked Obama's picks to do.
Call your Senators: Cory Gardner DC office: Phone: (202) 224-5941 Denver: (303) 391-5777 Michael Bennet DC office Phone: 202-224-5852 Denver office Phone: 303-455-7600
Update: all of these voice mail boxes are full. Good job! But call again Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. I'll be re-posting some version of this until the confirmation process is completed, or rescheduled.
Republicans are trying to overwhelm constituents and the press by rushing through Trumps cabinet picks (5 hearings in 3 days without any vetting or ethics screenings): Racist anti-cannabist Jeff Sessions, Exxon CEO and Putin Pal Rex Tillerson, and anti- public education Betsy Devos. They all have conflicts of interest.

Mitch McConnell on the standards for Senate review of nominees (B.T., of course).
The new GOP mantra is "If anyone quotes anything I've said, they are a liar".
And we are likely re-entering the era of "Deficits Don't Matter, we don't need to pay for it today, we'll blame the Democrats next time they are in power"
The truth is Trump's worst enemy, so his followers are going to be very busy fighting it off.
Stand with Fauxcahontus on making sure everyone is ethical?
Couldn't you have come up with a less ironic messenger than the "pow-wow chow" contributor of Manhattan restaurant recipes pawned off as allegedly native American?
Aren't you guys better than that?
I think you jumped a thread with your reply, but while you're here, what do you think about Sen. McConnell having one rule for our president and another for his?
I think it is pretty much DC SOP. It reminds me of the Dems, the world will come to an end if we end the filibuster when the Republicans had control and then the Dems take control and voila, time to change the filibuster rules.
Some things, like the sun rising in the east, don't change.
So basically you are just admitting that all your (and your fellow Republicans) faux outrage the past 8 years is just SOP, and that you believe you have a mandate from a minority of the popular vote to stretch and bend morality, ethics and the law far beyond anything a Democrat might try.
Soooeeey!

What I admit is politicians of both parties see reality through a partisan lens and the changing of power dynamics sometimes show their obvious inconsistency.
Nuh, uh. You're not going to get away with "normalizing" the revolting behavior currently on display by the Republicans in power.
I keep thinking the GOP will one day finally hit rock bottom in their behavior. Now we know there is no bottom.
There is Davie, but they've got shovels.
Do you think McConnell got some sort of Quid pro Chao from the ConflictedTrump administration to railroad his swamp creatures through confirmation without proper vetting by the FBI and OGE?
You really do go out of your way to offend people with racial stereotypes. I understand that provoking emotion is a troll's job, but "Fauxcahontas"?
Perhaps you can find a way to comment or critique what is going on without referring to ethnicity and slinging racial insults around.
Well, since AC's posts already are free of morals or ethics (much less truth or wisdom), if you take out the race-baiting, what would he have left to offer?
Recipes for gluten-free cookies?
Denver camping ban on homeless makes New York Times.
With Republicans in charge of the entire federal government comes a whole new calibration of the rules and definitions…….maybe our fellow voters will notice this time.
Twenty-year senator, federal nominee Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III called "outsider" by NY Times.
This is so ridiculous, you'd think Moddy came up with this one:
She is paid to think Trump deserves a pass on racist, ignorant, hateful things he says because he has such a big heart. Just ask the thousands of people Trump has filed punitive, frivolous lawsuits against and small contractors he's stiffed and bankrupted.
There is no microscope powerful enough for that level of focus.
Ahh, SmellyAnne explains it all to us.
Rorschach test time — Trump sees a potato, what do you see?
Hanksy urged his fans to “dump Trump” by participating in a street art campaign, in which voters could download free images and banners protesting Trump as well as the normalization of the bigotry and intimidation for which his campaign stood. Trump himself even got a whiff of the protest, although he strangely mistook his poopy portrait for a picture of a potato.
Ever wonder what happened to the right-wing "investigative" reporter Art Kane?
Wonder no more:
The LV Review Journal is the fishwrap owned by Sheldon Adelson.
Wonder who the Post will get to do their Frackinfurter
newsads.Uh-oh, Zap. Bennet did something right. He co-sponsored
Elizabeth Warren's Bill To Resolve Trump’s Conflicts of Interest
You might want to call Bennet Michael Bennet DC office Phone: 202-224-5852 Denver office Phone: 303-455-7600 to thank him for sponsoring the President Conflict of Interest Act.
While you're at it, ask him to push for ethics disclosures on Trump nominees – no package deal steamrolled through.
Even Thurston Howell III knows that bill has zero chance. Zap don't fall for it.
