01) Judge Orders New Investigation Into Kavanaugh
“There’s a new investigation on Brett Kavanaugh.
Fox News personality Bret Baier on Wednesday reported that U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts has referred allegations of judicial misconduct claims against Justice Brett Kavanaugh to outside judges for investigation.
Judge Karen LeCraft Henderson, a George H.W. Bush nominee, forwarded more than a dozen misconduct complaints to the chief justice after determining they were substantive enough that they needed to be investigated by judges outside the DC Circuit Court of Appeals, where Kavanaugh was serving as a judge.

01) Lindsey Graham: ‘Hell To Pay’ If Saudis Murdered Jamal Khashoggi
“Lindsey Graham and the Senators have spoken their concerns about the disappearance of Jamal Khashoggi.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said Wednesday that ‘there would be hell to pay’ if missing journalist and Washington Post contributor Jamal Khashoggi was killed by the Saudi government, as Turkish officials have claimed.
Graham told reporters at the Capitol that he would be speaking with the Saudi ambassador at 5:30 p.m. ET Wednesday. He cautioned that ‘we don’t want to rush to judgment,’ but said that ‘the explanations I hear coming from Saudi Arabia make no sense.’
‘I’ve never been more disturbed than I am right now,’ said Graham, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee. ‘If this man was murdered in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, that would cross every line of normality in the international community.

01) Mitch McConnell Needs A Safe Space
“Republicans are painting Democrats and activists as dangerous mobs despite the fact that right-wing terrorists have LITERALLY killed people.
Democrats urged voters not to hand over power to an angry Tea Party mob in 2010, when the Obama White House and then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) sought to hold on to the House majority.
Eight years later, the tables have been turned, and it is President Trump and a GOP Congress who are warning voters against putting a radical, left-wing mob in charge of Washington.
The Democratic arguments in 2010 failed, at least as measured by the ballot box. Republicans gained 63 seats and took back the House majority.
Republicans, however, think their arguments will succeed this time around given the tactics of the so-called resistance to Trump, which has included heated confrontations with senators and administration officials in restaurants, airports and the hallways of the Capitol.

01) Ted Cruz OBLITERATED In Attack Ad
“Senator Ted Cruz pretends to be tough, but he’s really a quivering lap dog.
“A new ad from a political action committee called Fire Ted Cruz slams the senator and former Republican presidential candidate for his re-election campaign slogan, ‘Tough as Texas.’
The ad, directed by Richard Linklater, features the actor Sonny Carl Davis in character as the Texan he portrayed in Linklater’s 2011 film, ‘Bernie.’
Davis’ character zeroes in on the insults Donald Trump heaped on Cruz during the 2016 presidential campaign.
‘I mean, come on,’ Davis says. ‘If somebody called my wife a dog and said my daddy was in on the Kennedy assassination, I wouldn’t be kissing their ass. You stick a finger in their chest and give ’em a few choice words. Or you drag their ass out by the woodshed and kick their ass, Ted. Come on, Ted.’”
